If you’re on the hunt for crispy roasties, rich gravy and a Yorkshire pudding big enough to wear as a hat, look no further. We’ve rounded up five highly rated places in and around Wigan to enjoy a proper Sunday roast — whether you’re after something refined in town, a stylish plate in Standish, or a good old-fashioned slap up dinner with the plate piled high.
1 – Red Door Bistro, Wigan
The phrase hidden gem is used a lot, but the Red Door Bistro really is. Just off Library Street, on College Avenue (opposite the Town Hall) Red Door serves up a classy Sunday roast with a proper homemade touch. Beef, seasonal veg, gravy and of course a Yorkshire pudding. The setting’s cosy and intimate — perfect for a chilled Sunday afternoon.
Red Door Bistro: College Avenue, Wigan, WN1 1DF
Sundays 2pm–6pm

2 – Albert’s, Standish
If you’re after a stylish roast experience, Albert’s in Standish is hard to beat. Their roast platter to share includes beef, chicken and lamb, or you can stick with a single meat like their roast rump of beef. Albert’s also has a heated outdoor terrace if you want to eat Al Fresco.
Albert’s: School Lane, Standish, Wigan, WN6 0TD Sundays from 12pm – 6pm

3 – Gallimores Fine Dining, Wigan
Right in the heart of town, Gallimores on The Wiend is a Wigan institution. Now under the new ownership of Warren and Marie, but with Howard still on hand to provide advice and guidance, their Sunday roast comes with all the essentials: meats, roasties, giant Yorkshire pudding, and lashings of gravy for £11.95. A great pit stop after a stroll round Mesnes Park or some town centre shopping.
Gallimores: 13 The Wiend, Wigan, WN1 1PF Open Sundays from 12pm

4- Dough, Hindley
Yes yes, we know Dough is a pizza restaurant, but husband and wife team Rachel and Kai pride themselves on being able to offer a multitude of tastes. On a Sunday, their offering is Roast beef or chicken in a giant Yorkshire pudding, accompanied by roast potatoes, honey glazed carrots and parsnips, broccoli and gravy. If you’re with someone who doesn’t fancy that, pizza is still on the menu on a Sunday. 2 courses for £18.
