Best Dinner Places to Eat in Wigan

"If you want to push the boat out for a special occassion, 20 stories is the place to go. This glamorous rooftop restaurant and cocktail bar offers panoramic views of the city, and is reassuringly welcoming to families. Kids have their own menu featuring delicious dishes like ‘make your own’ Eton Mess."

"No 1 Spinningfields, 1 Hardman Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 3EB. Sky high 20 Stories is the first Manchester project from D&D London. The glamorous restaurant and casual grill offer distinct menus, alongside a cocktail bar and roof terrace boasting 360-degree views of the city."

"A new kid on the block, Aiden Byrne’s menu is a modern British affair with ingredients either locally sourced or from the restaurant’s own farm in Cheshire. And as you might expect, Manchester’s highest restaurant offers stunning views over the city to complement the food and service."

"Favourably reviewed by The Guardian’s Jay Rayner, who rated their falafel as a “marvellous thing”, Maray was arguably one of the first Bold Street restaurants to kick-start the Liverpool food revolution of recent years. Serving up small plates inspired by global cuisines, their delectable dishes are now a regular favourite for any Liverpool foodie. From their famous falafel with hummus and tabbouleh, to showstopper plates such as Lebanese cured salmon with cucumber, radish and labneh and those just-pink flat iron steaks with roasted pineapple."

"One of Liverpool’s most popular restaurants and cocktail bars, Maray, is set to open its third site this summer at the iconic Royal Albert Dock Liverpool. The company’s expansion follows the success of its existing Middle Eastern-inspired restaurants, on Bold Street, Liverpool city centre and Allerton Road in the south of the city. The new Maray will join an exciting food and drink line-up currently taking shape at the Royal Albert Dock, which has seen a number of independent operators open over the past year."

"Reopening up their wooden booths from April 12, Maray makes for the perfect social distancing spot for meeting up with friends and family this spring and summer. They take cosy to the next level, too, with vines climbing the sides of the booths, as well as heaters in preparation for the unpredictable British weather. This cosy, outdoor set up is only available at their Albert Dock branch."

"Nisha Katona was a Barrister for 20 years but always had an obsession with one day bringing her heritage and mother’s cooking to the masses. After giving up her full-time career in 2014 she established Mowgli on Bold Street in Liverpool, introducing the masses to authentic Indian food that was eaten in homes and on the move on a daily basis. It was a revelation, leading to expansion into another restaurant in Liverpool, two in Manchester, and countless others up and down the country (whilst so far avoiding London to prove that a successful chain of restaurants does not need the capital’s recognition)."

"With two venues in the city centre, Mowlgi challenges the idea that British ‘Indian food’ is limited to the high-calorie foods you find on the high street. Time Out says “This is Indian food done the traditional way, and it’s exactly the type of healthy and aromatic grub that could put a big smile on your face.”. 3 Water St, Liverpool L2 0RD"

"Available all week long, Bundobust’s pancake offering sees them put a sweet twist on the traditional dosa. These mango puree and rosewater rice pancakes are £5 and come served with shrikhand (a sweetened cardamom yoghurt), mango ras, pistachio, and pomegranate."

"Manchester’s legendary stand-up comedy club remains an ever-popular destination, and has hosted pretty much every big name in comedy over the past 19 years. TripAdvisor reviewers had high praise for the venue’s staff, drinks and hot food offering. Typical reviews include: “Food was good, staff friendly and comedy funny."

"The one you think of when someone says comedy in Manchester. Located on Deansgate Locks, this perfectly placed club offers some of the best stand up in town. Their auditorium set up makes it perfect for stand up."

"A great pub in Liverpool, The Hope & Anchor is the Knowledge Quarter bar complete with a fabulous, sunshine-ready beer garden. Nab a spot on one of their picnic tables and tuck into a delicious menu of burgers, brunches and craft brews."

"Only a hop, skip and a jump from the football stadium, The Hope & Anchor is one of the best places for a cheap meal in Liverpool. Along with wallet-friendly pints and all the classics, it's also got a number of weekly deals."

"Serving the most delicious and well-portioned breakfast meals, their pancakes are a real highlight for guests. Stacked high with all the toppings, menu items include berries and cream, banoffee, peanut butter and bacon with maple syrup. Each stack includes three buttermilk pancakes, and there’s even vegan options available too!"

"The bar and grill is due to reopen next month with extended seating. Sharing the news with Instagram fans, What's Cooking penned: "W H O ‘ S R E A D Y !. "We are pleased to announce that What’s Cooking will be reopening for outside dining only on April 12th in line with government guidelines!"

"On the Royal Albert Dock has a menu for under 12’s that will be fit for the fussiest of eaters. They can choose from burgers, ribs, hot dogs, fish fingers and loads more so it’s a great place to head with the whole family for something to eat. View this post on Instagram"

"This American style dive bar and restaurant is discretely hidden in part of Liverpool’s university district, so discrete you might blink and miss it. Once inside you may think you have entered the wrong place but do not let the dark decor and neon lights put you off, after all it is a death row themed restaurant. Both the decor and the menu establish the essence of death row, making you feel as though you are choosing your last meal from the menu to die for (literally)."

"A post shared by Death Row Diner (@deathrowdiner) on Apr 6, 2019 at 9:17am PDT. An American diner hidden away on Liverpool’s bohemian Hope Street, Death Row Diner offers arguably the best burgers in the city. It may have a controversial name, but this basement restaurant is the perfect place for a cheat night treat."
