Whistling Wren — Restaurant in Wigan

My wife and I were at the Leigh Valley sports stadium to watch Man United v Leicester and I'd looked online for nearby eateries, I didn't realise it was on their doorstep. So once the game was over we went for Sunday Lunch, it's a good job we'd booked earlier online as it was busy. We were shown to our table which I'd asked for Wheelchair access and asked if we wanted any drinks, while waiting we looked at the vast menu. I chose Roast Beef and Yorkshire pud with trimmings and my wife chose Roast with Turkey, our meal arrived and it was plentiful for the price. The food was very well presented and hot (just right), my Broccoli was a little bit tough but the Yorkshire Pud was homemade and crisp (where some can be small and soggy). We were asked by the staff if we were okay with the food during eating and once finished our plates cleared and we were asked if we wanted desserts/Coffee? We didn't as we'd had a starter (Prawn Cocktail), we paid and was asked if we'd been happy with service/food if we'd leave a review. So this is it, very happy with the experience and would...

The you lady behind the bar who served us was exemplary in every way tbh. She was cheerful, polite, professional, and really efficient, especially given she was the only person behind the bar that day and it was clearly a really busy time. We were grateful our request for a quiet spot had been accommodated as we're both autistic and have auditory processing disorder - it meant we could enjoy conversation because there wasn't music playing near to us. We noticed the speakers in our whole area had been turned off, thank you so much X Her knowledge of the gluten-free range was excellent too (really large range of options, including several desserts, thank you!!)

Speaking of the menu, there's only one minor suggestion I'd like to give (and is the reason we're not big pub grub eaters) and that some veggies on the Sides menu. Just a steam bag of mixed veg would do, but something to round out the meat and chips would make it absolutely perfect and mean we'd definitely be more regular visitors, because what we ate...

Very good menu selection. Staff were super helpful and cheerful. Very efficient from start to finish. Food was great although would have liked more mushy peas with my scampi. Good playing area outside for the kids. My daughter was particularly impressed with how mindful the staff were about allergies. We were asked by staff about anyone with allergies. My grandson is lactose intolerant. The staff member listened intently to my daughter's concerns and we were super impressed with the little allergen stick that was in his burger. On the downside there weren't many deals available like 2 for 1. Also, that little playing area inside with the touch screen tvs and jelly bean machine could be better. My grandson also has autism. I would have preferred it to be more sensory and tactile than it was. I think it could be beneficial to children with such disabilities. Other than that we enjoyed being there yesterday. Will definitely...
