The Weavers Arms, Leigh — Restaurant in Wigan

Booked a table in advance and requested a table by a tv for the England game, which kicked off at 10.30. Arrived at 10am and every tv was showing golf, despite the game starting soon. Explained that we’d booked a table and was told to “just sit anywhere”. Asked if the game would be shown and was told that she would request the big screen to be turned on. Sat at a table and waited a few minutes for the screen, which wasn’t turned on. Asked at the bar and the man serving said “I’ll do it when the queue has gone down”. The pub was heaving with sports fans waiting for the rugby, which didn’t begin until 2pm. I’m hugely disappointed that a sports bar had taken such an outdated and frankly discriminative approach to the women’s World Cup. To be told to wait for the queue to disperse before the screen could be turned on was ridiculous, the queue was not going down any time soon with one person on the bar and a constant flow of sports fans coming through the door. The place was clearly too busy and understaffed ahead of the rugby, which I understand is a big sport for the town, but there was plenty of time to show the football before the rugby began. I had specifically requested a table for the World Cup game, which had obviously been ignored. This is a terrible example to set for the pub, and I will not...

Came today for the Christmas Day meal; not something that I would usually do but with my Dad having an operation a few weeks ago he wasn’t able to do it this year.

As soon as we arrived (me, my dad and my toddler) we were seated to our table, the food was incredible, the staff were all very polite and friendly. It was extremely busy but they all had a smile on their faces; personally I think it’s incredible that staff give up their day to do the job that they do (sometimes sacrificing time with their own families) to be able to provide others. My Dad has a BIG appetite and towards the end of the meal he couldn’t eat any more.

I have to personally give a MASSIVE thank you to one staff member in particular Sam; she made the experience even better as she was incredible with my toddler; at his age he can get a little bit fussy at times especially in a new environment and with lots of people but she was so attentive, gave him pictures and crayons to keep him occupied and at the end of our meal give him a little selection box as a treat= my toddler was a VERY happy little boy.

A MASSIVE thank you to all the staff at The Weavers Arms for making our Christmas Day as incredible as it was and the BIGGEST thank you to the cooks/chefs because the food was DELICIOUS.

100% recommend!! Thank you...

I went here last night with a group of friends after meeting at the Thomas Burke. I've been in here plenty of times with no complaints. However last night i had a dickie stomach and wasn't happy that there was no toilet rolls in the gents. When I mentioned it to my friends one of the girls said there wasn't any in the ladies either. I managed to get in the disabled toilet and thankfully toilet rolls were in there. This isn't like having a bad drink or meal. It's a basic requirement to provide toilet rolls. The venue wasn't even busy for a Saturday night so it can't be blamed on...
