The Thomas Burke - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Wigan

I haven't been to the Thomas Burke for about 7 years, because the last time I was there it was not a pleasant place to spend any time and certainly not whilst in company with my wife!! Too many idiots and zero control!! Yesterday however, I was very pleasantly surprised to find the place has changed so much and so much for the better!! The surroundings are clean and bright. The carpets, tables and chairs are clean and fresh, not piled high with plates and glasses; and the clientele were happy and enjoying a "quiet" drink! On the subject of drinks, the wide selection of beers on tap is excellent, with some really nice craft beers and real ales as well as a good selection of lagers and cider. And the prices are ridiculous!! Averaging only about £2.50 a pint!! The "Full Whack" 6% abv was sublime! There's also a wide range of wines and spirits available and the staff are friendly and very helpful. Rachel, was particularly welcoming and watching her and the team working, it's no wonder the place is in such good shape. We didn't eat, but there is food available and this looked decent standard pub grub and looked and smelled great! All in all a wonderful surprise return! I will definitely be going back soon! Well...

Yesterday me n my friends went in there, as we always used to since past one year and we loved this place. But yesterday it was awful experience that we had. Staff was very rude, staff cleared our table before we go home. Half of the foods and drinks were thrown without asking us. When went to ask them staff was very very rude. Manager in there came on my friends face when he asked about it and said if you have problem you don’t need to come back here again. Instead of clearing things it went more n more arguments with staff. Security guard in there pushed us and staff told us to get out. Which was completely against the law. They can only touch people if someone is harming the property or a person. It all happened at one in morning. They gave us reason that it was closed thats why we thrown it however more than 10-15 peoples were still sat on there tables and having drinks. We didn’t expected this to happen. We will never go there again and i won’t recommend anyone to...
