Posthouse — Restaurant in Wigan

I had booked a table last weekend for my 30th birthday, it was my first time ever going in posthouse and I'm not sure if I will come again. My friends was ringing me as I was leaving my house to tell me that they got to the posthouse and they was claiming there was no table booked under my name despite me ringing up twice 2 weeks before then a week before to confirm numbers for the table. This meant when we all got there there was no where for everyone to sit as it was busy aswell. When I spoke to someone who seemed like he was in charge he just allowed us to sit at the table they sat at for meantime knowing I said there was 7 people and when I looked at the table I realised there wasn't enough room for the last person to sit down when they got there so I had to go back to the manager to say there isn't gonna be enough room. He then went on to say there is aparantly nothing much they could do (even though it was their fault why the table had not been booked in). Then he sat us in the bar area even though we was all eating food as there was no where else to go. They then brought out knives and forks and didn't even put enough out on the table for everyone. The food was taking a long time to come out and it was making me late for the next place I was meant to go so I had to get up and sort it out when I should of been relaxed on my birthday, when I questioned about the food wait he had nothing to say other than "we have a full restaurant of people" and didn't even tell me an estimate of how long of a wait it was going to be. Then it was a bit convenient how the food came out to us 2 minutes after I had gone up to ask for it so they obviously had forgot about us because we was put in the bar area. The food was average but definitely not worth the price of what it is and the chips you get with the burgers are very small portions considering the price you pay. Overall the place didn't seem bothered about all this they had caused even after us telling them about how bad the service was and that they made us really late for the next place we was going to. The table was supposed to be booked for 7 at posthouse and we was still eating food at 8:40 as it took over an hour just for them to bring...

We visited this week on Monday afternoon between 3-5pm to celebrate my nieces 21st birthday! We was staying away for the weekend nearby at the glamping pods & we found this place online! And it was easy to walk in and had plenty of tables

The small plate menu was what attracted me to dine here and it did not disappoint! The food is absolutely unbelievable! We had to thank the chef and ask him to come out because everything was perfect!

The service was phenomenal, a lady called Louise was our host and she was the most welcoming and friendliest lady!

We all ordered different small plates and sides for a 5 person table and felt it’s best share! Portions was huge, and all the food came out at the same time!

We even ordered extra tacos because they was too nice!! Beautiful restaurant & atmosphere! Amazing prices & quality!! 10/10 restaurants & bar!

Parking was also easy in the area for a main road, as there is a pub over the road called The Stag which has a parking meter, and it’s fairly affordable! And we went to the pub first for a drink to register free parking!

Thanks everyone we had the best...

Real ale and gin bar opened March 2019. Open plan bar with outdoor drinking area. Multiple beer taps for keg beer and 5 cask hand pulls plus a coffee machine.

Update: August 2020. Since my original review additional keg lines have been installed to offer a wider range of beers. The Posthouse has also expanded into the building next door to open a dining area. The menu has a good range at reasonable prices.

Update: December 2024. Part of the outdoor area has been enclosed to create an additional eating area. The range of beers has stagnated, in the past the choice of beers would change to different breweries but now it is virtually the same brewery/beer on every visit. Food prices have risen dramatically. Appreciate food and power prices have increased but it seems the venue is trying to become a gastro pub with the prices charged. The addition of the new eating area has now made the rest of the outdoor drinking space a smoking area to the detriment of those of us who do not smoke and bring their dogs to the pub as dogs are not...
