"What has happened to this once amazing place to eat ?. We’ve been coming here for at least 25 years as a group of friends . This once bustling very reasonably priced restaurant seems to have had its identity changed . We walked in to an empty restaurant which was unusual but it is January . The offer of two courses for £17.95 was very limited but it wasn’t much more if anything , to choose what you wanted . I started with the goats cheese tart , which was very average , just a crust full of chutney with a thin layer of cheese , but it was edible . My main choice was chicken , I was disappointed with the size of the meal , a chicken breast with about 6 mini potatoes and a tiny portion of veg . The food was lovely but the teeniest portion I did mention the problems and received my starter free . My reason for this review is to hopefully let this restaurant know how much the dining experience has changed and was disappointing . It really doesn’t make me want to rush back which is sad as it’s always been a favourite"

Meal was virtually cold, seemed like frozen veg, potatoes, most annoying thing was bill was £34 we gave £40 and was then asked did we want the change, that was bad, won't be going there again.

Starter was disappointing fishcake very bland. Roast beef main course was ok but one minute piece of brocolli 2 juliet carrots and one piece of parsnip accompanied by 3 small roast potatoes would be too small for even a child ! Portions need to be substantially improved before considering returning

We’ve been coming here for years and it’s always our go to when dining out, we can’t fault it the ambience and Staff are always nice and the food is just excellent i always start with the pate, then the featherblade of beef which just melts in your mouth it’s delicious not always have room for desert but the creme brûlée is lush and overall the presentation of every dish is impeccable.

Gorgeous Saturday night meal out! Arrived to a very busy and bustling restaurant with a fab atmosphere for a Saturday night. Shown to our table straight away. Opted for the turkey and broth soup with a warm bread roll followed by the Cajun chicken stir fry both where delicious and would definitely order again. Lots of waiters and waitresses working hard, all very polite and friendly. Can’t wait to return

We went here today to celebrate mums 91st birthday and all in all is was a good experience but a small criticism that we had was that my beef bourguignon was a rather small portion as was our portions of vegetables and the chips had bits of scraps of potatoes rather than a proper chip. It’s nothing that would stop us going again in the future but it’s a year since we’ve been here and there’s been a decline in the size of portions.

Overall the food and service was good. Just a complaint on the starters really, I ordered goats cheese tartlet and it was not nice, a tart pastry case filled with chutney to the brim with a tiny sliver of cheese on top which wasn't goats cheese, i think it might have been mozzarella. When the waitress collected our plates she didn't ask if we'd enjoyed, or comment on the virtually untouched tartlet. I was ready to give feedback but felt this was a missed opportunity, maybe I should have been more assertive! My mum had a fruit starter, melon and pineapple, there was hardly anything there. But the mains were delicious

We booked for Sunday lunch, as we were heading to Haigh Hall for a family walk Arrived and were shown to our table and the service was very fast, as we were soon ordering drinks and then our meal. We all went for the Sunday lunch, roast beef x 2, turkey roast and chicken breast roast The food was superb and has to be one of the best cooked roast beef dinners I have ever had! We all finished our meals and commented how good it was and how we will definitely be returning. Was exceptional value and could see us making this a regular Sunday lunch venue. The staff were all so friendly and helpful too, a credit to the restaurant

"After reading the reviews we was really looking forward to eating here ,however it turned out to be the worst tapas and worst service we have ever received . After waiting 10 minutes for someone to take our drinks order we then waited a further 30 mins to be served with what can only be described as toast with tasteless mushed up tomatoes on , this was inedible and hardly touched , a further 20 minutes on and we was served a single dish of chicken between two of us again this was very bland and resembled nothing like a original tapas dish more like a chicken korma again this was hardly touched . When I enquired as to where the rest of the food was I was told they was very busy . With this we decided to cut our loses and asked for the bill . Before leaving we tried to have a conversation with the manager who is also the chef to give some honest feedback ,however he wasn’t open to listening , he’s response was “it’s normal in a tapas restaurant to receive one dish at a time between two with a large gap between dishes wasn’t it explained to you that’s what tapas is “We felt this was a very patronising remark as we eat tapas on a regular basis and know this is definitely not the case . To matters worse there was people who came in after us with multiple plates and tucking in nicely to their meals . The manager who was obviously struggling to cope on a busy Saturday night should have just apologised and admitted our order had been overlooked . If you are looking for authentic Tapas with excellent service in Wigan go to Casa Carlos this place doesn’t deserve your hard earned money ."
