Mid afternoon and busy, we found a table by the window. Great pub however spoilt by loud music and surly barman.

I liked this little pub a lot and sat here until the departure board indicated that my London-bound train was six minutes away. CAMRA discount claimed.

My final stop in Wigan before catching a train from Wallgate Station. The live departure screens were very useful.
