Whistling Wren

It was so busy due to the rugby, but it was so well organised, plenty of staff, who all knew what they were doing, worked so hard and smiled even though they were run off their feet. the singer outside was a nice touch. The food was great, i love the menu selection here. We were served by Josh, Gemma and Amy, and they are super stars

I ordered a Sunday roast beef and it was very tasty but right when I started eating my surprise was the amount that came of beef maybe 50 grams? I was surprised by the amount of meat that came, I'm a person of just over 50 kilos and I imagine what this protein would be for someone who asks for between 70 and 80 kilos will definitely leave hungry. The staff is very very friendly and efficient, the pub has a pleasant atmosphere the food was tasty but the amount left me with the certainty that I will not eat the Sunday roast again.

My partner and I visited today with my toddler and my newborn. We were served by Elise and Steph; and honestly, we couldn't be more happy with the service we received. There's potential to have a tricky time when taking a toddler to a restaurant, but they both included our daughter in conversations, gave us plenty of time to decide on meals, and offered crayons and pictures to colour for my little girl to keep her distracted whilst we ate. They were friendly, approachable and nothing seemed too much. The food was amazing, as always; and not at all expensive. I cannot recommend this place enough; and honestly, a huge thank you to the staff that served us today for your patience 😀

Steph was a great server always with a smile and stopped to have a chat even though she was busy. She took her time to make sire we had all we needed and engaged with the children in a lovely way.

We couldn't contact using the QR code on feedback for service hence this note. Jordan served and looked after four of us for the evening in a full and noisy pub, finding and setting up a quiet table just after Leigh Leopards fans left for the match, he's polite, recommended items, brought drinks to the table and cleared used glasses away. He is efficient and knowledgeable. We all felt he's an asset not only to the pub but, more importantly, to the company.

Special thanks to Steph who ensured we were well looked after and she was so friendly as well. Would highly recommend.

Would not recommend any of the steaks. Donner kebab was lukewarm and greasy. Looked great on the eye but tasted horrible like a reheated frozen donner :-( wasted £100 for meal for 4

Excellent Sunday tea at Whistling Wren. We were met by lovely Amy on entering and quickly taken to our table. Amy took our drinks order and also food order as we had already decided what we would have. Drinks were brought over shortly. Amy informed us there could be 30 mins wait as it was busy which wasn’t a problem but the lovely food arrived within 15 minutes. My steak was cooked just to my liking and my Mrs had Sunday dinner which was equally lovely and was a very large plateful. Amy called regularly to check on us as always to make sure everything was good and if we needed a drink top up. Absolutely perfectly day with lovely people and lovely food. Very recommended!

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 be back again.

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 definitely return.

There was a rugby match one at the stadium next door. We were warned that there was a 40 minute delay on food. However we ordered just a couple of minutes after we wee seated and our drinks came soon after. Our starter came promptly and our main course came in due course. The food was very good and the service was brilliant. A most enjoyable experience!

Employee no. 60000589 - Allan Marsh I went for a breakfast at The Whistling Wren, Leigh on Saturday morning before heading off to the RL semi-final. I ordered a large breakfast for me and a bacon bap for my friend. The breakfast is one of the worst meals I have ever had. Let me break it down. Bacon: supposed to be two rashers. I eventually found what was supposed to be my bacon, slithering in one corner of my plate. It was two halves of a very very fatty slice of streaky bacon and I use the word bacon very sparingly. Sausage: there were four of very poor 'value' quality sausages and tasteless. They were very much undercooked. Eggs: two fried eggs with hard yolks. These had obviously been per-cooked and warmed up. A dangerous practice which I will get on to later. Hash Browns: Four of the thickest hash browns that I have ever seen. They were very brown on the outside, but cold on the inside. Obviously unsuccessfully microwaved. After tasting, I left them Mushroom: At first I thought they were missing. Then I spotted them, hidden by the hash browns. Around a dozen of them, individually the size of a pea and tasteless. Baked Beans: these were actually OK. I did not take back as the place was filling with customers and very few staff about and I didn't have the time. Over the day I began to get very uncomfortable stomach pains which got gradually worse. After the game when all my friends celebrated i had to go home. It really was pathetic.

Nice pub with nice food, prices on food are pretty reasonable for meals, drinks are a bit high priced compared to some of other nearby pubs. There’s a beer garden too which is alright on warmer days we tend to call in for one drink after walking the surrounding area such as the canal pathways or Pennington flash… it’s also right next to Leigh sports village. It’s a dog friendly pub too which is good if your out dog walking like me and you want to call in ? staff which are friendly usually offer to get a bowl of water for my dog and biscuits sometimes ?

Staff were very polite but, unfortunately, service was incredibly slow, even for drinks. The Sunday roast and the steak and ale pie were dreadful. The chicken was dry and the rest was obviously microwaved. The pie had virtually no meat in the filling and the pastry was rank. We took the chicken home for the cats who seemed to appreciate it more than we did. Needless to say, we won't be going back ?

Disappointed for the second week running, last week are food was delayed because the server did not place our order. We did get an apology and a discount which was fine. Today the service very slow, the servers where not attentive. We where sat outside. After waiting 10 to 15 minutes and failing to attract a servers attention I had leave my table and walk into the path of a server to gain her attention. This worked we placed our order and waited patiently for a hour and twenty minutes, again I had t0 leave my table to attract the servers attention and was told the kitchen had a backlog . After another 15 to 20 minutes the food arrived . My wife noticed she should have had a dipping sauce with her meal . She asked a different server for the dipping sauce and was told she was get it for her. My complaints are :- 1. Poor service 2.Slow kitchen service 3.Condiment and cutlery buckets not stocked properly. 4.No apology from the server who did not bring my wife's dipping sauce. She was at our table when I complained to our main server about this matter We have been many times to the whistling wren and recommended you to family and friends but I am sorry to say we certainly will not be recommending or visiting your establishment again. To me the kitchen's efficiency and the service to outside customers needs looking at. Goodbye
