First time Visiting this establishment since it opened. Decor is stripped back but certainly not to the detriment of the overall look which has a more kinda "City" Coffee house or wine bar ambiance. As such you wouldn't feel out of place dressed to the nines or just casually smart. The furniture is varied and the wall seating is comfy and deep cushioned. Additionally, to the rear, there are arrangements of some leather Chesterfields as well as some softer fabric seating to accommodate groups and "Huddles" which is very much a plus. The staff are polite and attentive which is so important for a Coffee house trying to make its mark against the big players only a short walk away. That said, with this being on the doorstep of the towns two train stations the footfall should be good. There is a display showing desserts to be had with your beverage of choice, though it could benefit from some pictures of sandwiches and other items from the menu to create a visual awareness that there is in fact more to offer the customer- as opposed to a laminated collection of pages. In fact, I had no idea until I asked that they did in fact serve food as well as desserts. So there's a feather to the bow to be added here with some visual enhancements to alure the taste buds. Without question, I would highly recommend a visit. The coffee certainly was on par with the best there is, and I certainly intend to return. So 5 stars from me on this, and let's hope it survives. It has the potential to be a real Hub...
Read moreNicely presented venue, bigger than expected with seating to the back, and also an upstairs that I didn’t see. Don’t know if we were unlucky to catch them on a bad day but the food offering was poor. We were told that the pizza oven was closed sono pizzas or burgers. Later on we saw some folk get burgers though which was odd. The ham and cheese panini was pretty cold, definitely had not been put in a sandwich press. Only one salad was dressed for the two plates we got; pretty strange. Nobody asked how our food was and nobody took our plates our empties. There’s old signage on the flooring that isn’t in use so you are stood somewhere like a wally for no reason trying to follow rules that aren’t in place. I’m also not sure how this place can claim to be a wine bar when it only sells 3 basic red and whites each plus a house wine for both. I will give this place another chance as it was fairly comfortable, but I was...
Read moreProbably one of Wigans best little gems situated between both the Wigan North Western train station and Wigan Wallgate train station, actually opposite Wigan Wallgate station to be more precise. So an ideal opportunity to relax either after a long journey or even before you start one.
The facility offers coffees, wines, spirits, bottled beers, soft drinks and beers on draught. There is a small selection of pastries and cakes as well as both hot and cold light bites. So go on... make it a meal deal.... and if you've just arrived in town look out for some great events happening over the weekend in the winebar, from art shows to live bands and...
