Reviews in Wigan

Lovely country pub which serves very good food, there is so much to choose from it's very hard to decide what to have. I have always been impressed by the Rigbye.

OK if you cheap meal but the service is poor (mainly 16 year old's waiting), food is ok but by no means outstanding. Wouldn't go again.

Had a meal there Saturday 29 September. Only complaint is that of service. The meal took over 40 minutes from being order to be served. And it wasn't a particular busy night. The quality of the meal was very good. The decor excellent. But it did spoil the experience.

I have written a previous report on this establishment, so I feel have have some sort of right to have this report published. My wife and I were deeply disappointed in our last visit to the High Moor. The wait, between first and main course, was close to an hour which is totally unacceptable. When the main did arrive, my choice, the rack of lamb, was so over-cooked it was verging on burnt. The lady Maitre De asked us at the end of the meal if we had enjoyed it and in unison we both said no! This venue we use for our wedding anniversary and this was our 23rd. We have been visiting the High Moor for many of those 23 and have also brought, and recommended, the High Moor to friends and family. Unless they get their act together, Simon!! then it will be a long time before we revisit. I asked the Maitre De if the usual chef, Norman, was working that night, and was told he was. Norman, your standards are slipping! I am quite happy to put my e-mail address here for a retort or questions about this, once fabulous, eatery. Come On Simon!! Even the menu was poor!

Been to Cinnamon on numerous occasions and the food is always excellent (better since changing hands!) Courteous staff, quick service and never feel rushed. Would definitely recommend.

We didn't actually get to eat at this place. We booked a table fancying somewhere new but the awful impolite unfriendly attitude we got from this guy (he couldn't understand us and wouldn't even look or speak to me but kept addressing my hubby) made us leave before we'd even ordered, so I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Went instead to Malanchoo's in Newton and had a fantastic meal, so fresh out of oven Nan bread was too hot to handle!!

This restaurant has consistently improved over the years we have lived in Standish, a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the quality of the food set against the prices is excellent.

the food was delish!

This is without doubt the worst restaurant in Wigan. The Staff are a bunch of ignorant French children, who probably didn't even come to the country legally. They are lazy, stuffily dressed, and throw tantrums whenever they were called over. I complained to the manager, and he just laughed. I had never felt so disgusted in all my life. The food was good, but the waiters ruined the evening, with their childish resentment of having to actually work.

Rigalettos is the poshest, most classy restaurant I have been to. The food was sensational. Well done Mr Whelan. (Dave).

The Cinnamon has had a trendy makeover. its now modern and bright. I had a great dish from the house specials, the Chicken Mansoor. Similar to a Jalfrezi but tastier. go and give it a try!

There are two Italian restaurants in Standish and both opened at about the same time. If you want an Italian meal prepared by Italian chefs in a wonderful atmosphere, go to the Olive Garden and not the other one. I've been several times to the Olive Garden and a couple of times to the other place - Olive Garden's pizza and garlic bread are absolutely delicious and cannot be beaten.

We visited for the 2 course Sunday lunch (£8.95 for two courses). The food was great and the service attentive but unobtrusive. Will definitively be having the Sunday lunch again in the near future.

We have always had a meal that was enjoyed by all the family. Now want to book online for Christmas lunch. Anyone know their Email address/Web page?

The chef is fantastic

I can't believe Derek thinks that there is plenty choice for vegetarians. The choice for vegetarians when I went this month was Tuscan Tart (on the permanent menu) or vegetable curry (on the June menu). Two choices is not "plenty". There are always only two choices. Unless of course you count a plate of vegetables. We went last week, and didn't fancy the tart or the curry, so opted for just vegetables - but they tried to charge us more than if we'd had a steak with them! Instead of charging us the set price of around £6.99 for a starter, main course and sweet, they thought it appropriate to charge us separately for our starters, vegetables and sweets which came to more than if we were charged for a steak off the set menu. The Owls is cheap and cheerfully great for carnivores, but don't try to send vegetarians there!

We've been here twice since it opened and have to say it makes a nice alternative to the other Italian restaurants in the area. Food is great, service is very good from the owner, relaxing ambience. I can only say keep it up cos this place has massive potential!

Went for the first time June 07. It's great to have such a nice restaurant in the centre of Wigan. Food, service and surroundings are excellent. will definitely be going again.
