The Berkeley

You'll find this right in the thick of Wallgate's pub crawl territory, but The Berkeley has carved out its own loyal following amongst Wigan's drinking crowd. The kind of place where regulars prop up the bar discussing everything from Latics' latest performance to the merits of different bitter brands, whilst newcomers quickly discover why the Sunday lunch queue stretches down the street. The food here goes well beyond typical pub grub – their roasts are properly generous affairs that'll sort you right out, and the kitchen clearly knows its way around comfort classics. Weekend evenings see the place buzzing with a proper mix of ages, from students grabbing cheap pints to seasoned locals who've been coming since the place opened. It's got that lived-in feel that makes you want to settle in for the long haul.
