The Gasket

Skull House Ln, Appley Bridge, Wigan WN6 9DR, UK

Really nice, unusual venue; basically a modded shipping container! Nice range of snacks and drinks, friendly service and clearly established as a favourite place for a stop off for local bikers. Absolutely loved it, and also being asked by one of the other motorcyclists to move my bike as the chrome tank was blinding him in the brilliant sunshine! A great place for a break, although all the customers there when I visited were motorcyclists I noticed that there were racks for pedal bikes and provision for dogs too. Oh, and the flapjacks are delicious!

One of the only decent bike spots for a brew that has not been overcome by idiots. They do some decent toasties, paninis etc. Every time I go here I end up chatting for hours with other bikers, the Gasket is something that brings us together. It's not just for bikers though, I've brought my toddler here and have seen many cyclists, dog walkers, workmen and people from all walks of life.

First time here today. I absolutely love it!!! The girl that served us was brilliant. She warned me not to leave my leather unattended because she wanted it lol. The food was amazing, bacon, brie and caramelised onion pannier, so recommended. Then there's the cakes, oh my lord...awesome. Thanks, we will definitely be back

Great place. Good place for bikers with a good atmosphere. Sadly they had run out of bacon but I had a very nice cheese and ham panini and a latte

What a cute little cafe, would easily go in noticed. What you see is what you get but it is cosey and rustic to set a lovley atmosphere. Service can be slow as there was only 1 lady serving. Coffee was so tasty and smooth, highly recommended. Cakes seemed home made also.

We had our sons first birthday party here and it was absolutely amazing! The buffet was gorgeous and everyone who came commented on how good the food was! Morgan (the owner) went out of his way to help us set up for the party before guests came and made sure we were happy as well as everyone else. I would 10000% recommend any smaller events being held here! I have been previously for afternoon tea and to buy cakes. I know I will be going here a lot more now as I can not fault a single thing! 🤍

Just sitting here having eaten a chicken and bacon sandwich. Now eating a slice of lemon drizzle cake and washing it all down with hot chocolate. Absolutely delish. A place you must visit. I have been back here since the previous visit and I have to say, Morgan has stepped up to another level. The new brunch menu is amazing! It took me a good 10 minutes to decide what I was going to have to eat as it all sounded so delicious. I opted for poached eggs on toast. A good decision; cooked to perfection. Cut into the eggs and they just oozed out onto the toast; perfection on a plate. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to finish it all, but I forced myself. The cafe is clean, staff are friendly and Morgan is ACE! I love his friendly manner. He came out to see us and have a chat. He deserves to continue with his success. This place is a GEM. Do try it if you are in Leigh folks. Well worth it and his cakes are delish.

The food was incredible! The meat was fresh, the cheese was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The service was quick and non intrusive. We had a bottle of wine as well and there was a good choice. We also had cake after it and everything came to £65. Between 2 of us it was £32.50 which is an absolute bargain! I will definitely go again for bottomless brunch. Best place in Leigh for cakes and the new charcuterie boards.

Title: Outstanding Service from RMF Electrical - Rob is Exceptional! I recently engaged RMF Electrical for a Tesla home charger installation, and I must commend Rob for his exceptional professionalism and dedication. Unlike other suppliers, Rob took the time to assess my existing installation thoroughly. His commitment to understanding my needs instilled trust from the start. Throughout the process, Rob's friendly demeanor and unwavering professionalism were evident. He delivered exceptional workmanship and explained each step, ensuring satisfaction. Thanks to Rob and RMF Electrical, I now have a fully functional Tesla home charger. I highly recommend their services. For reliable, professional electrical work, choose RMF Electrical and request Rob for an unparalleled experience.

Rang Rob as my electric had gone off in my house....he talked me through the fuse box asking me which switches to switch down.. Rob didn't need to come out as found out later there was a powercut in my area. But Rob was very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you again will use again in the future. I Highly recommend.

Rob is a great electrician, on time and polite, very reasonable prices, keeps you informed about the process from start to finish. If you need an electrician then look no further. He's just fitted 7 lights, 4 switches and 1 socket all done in one day. Many thanks Rob for your wonderful work.

South Lancs Electrical

If you're after any sort of advice on EV chargers and installs then Ricky is your man. I rang Ricky originally to get a quote based on being let down by another company back in Jan. Being nearby, Ricky promptly came to the property to do an initial audit and investigation as to whether my existing equipment was suitable - he also ran through several chargers and pointed me a reccomendation on what to have with no pressure to buy or have a specific model - he even stated I could go away and buy my own - in the end I went with the brand-new Apex charger from ProjectEV. After booking in shortly after, Ricky attended the property and it was all systems go - the install was quickly done, tested and I was shown in detail how to use the accompanying app along with a test charge to show me it fully working. Ricky's amazing service doesn't stop there though. A few days later, I thought there was a fault with the charger but even so, he was immedately responsive in having a look and even offered to come out of his way to have a look! Turns out it wasn't a fault at all. All in all, I highly reccomend Ricky. He's prompt, professional and does a cracking job looking after his clients. 5 stars.

South Lancs Electrical was a wonderful experience. I am truly thankful for Rick who I called for advice about a at home car charger. He was not only professional at what he does but also reliable and dependable. I’ve just had my outside electrical car charger fitted. Rick informed me of the process and nothing was too much to ask, the end result exceeded my expectations. Thanks again 😊

I phoned Wild Flame and ordered 2 meals for takeaway in which I collected within 20 minutes of calling I got The Cassanova and The Mama Mia. I had the Mama Mia and the burger was juicy, tasty and above my expectations the only let down was the fries as I found some of them a little undercooked but the seasoning was lovely so this is the reason I given my meal 4 out of 5 stars. If the chips were cooked fully it would have achieved a full 5 other than that I will definitely buy from Wild Flame in future due to the excellent friendly service and the lovely burger which I will 110% order again

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Eko restaurant and bar, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that set the perfect mood for a relaxing evening. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that our experience was top-notch from start to finish. The menu offered a delightful variety of dishes, showcasing both creativity and quality. I tried the signature appetizer, which was bursting with flavor, and the main course was cooked to perfection. Each bite was a testament to the chef's skill and passion for food. The cocktail selection was equally impressive, with unique concoctions that perfectly complemented our meals. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant and bar to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Whether you're out for a casual night with friends or a special occasion, this place has something for everyone. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Called in today for a coffee and cake. It really is in my opinion a retro style cafe with good wall decorations of music memorabilia. Background music was not too loud and while I was in the music was from the 70's. Good atmosphere, very friendly staff, great coffee, good size muffins and very reasonably priced.

Amazing food....I was about to venture out to Miller and Carter when I happened upon this takeaway. The food was 10/10, I had the squid for starters and beef ramen, couldn't fault anything. Finished off with a brownie and ice cream. Credit where its due, one of the best takeaways I've had ever. When I visit work site next time I'll definitely be repeating my order.

OMG! TOO TOO GOOD!!! We randomly ordered through Just Eat and OMG... The ramen broth is deep and rich, the beef..like it was born with flavouring!! What did you guys do to the cow?? 🤣 And then we tried the beef rib burger. The bone just slides off smoothly, the meat 12/10, just perfect! Better burger than Almost Famous. Really. Next, we had the Southern Fried Chicken Bao. I promise you this review is not endorsed, but omg you guys, what are you doing in Leigh?? (But PLEASE STAY) Last but not least, the fries (or chips, for u brits) made it through the delivery and still so crispy it woke up our dog! We dipped the fries into the heavenly peppercorn sauce, which i could drink like a shot! It was seriously THE BEST dinner in bed for us! Next time we'll come there. Promise. Thank you. We love you!!

Ordered here for the first time today, both me and my husband got beef brisket ramen and it was nice. The only downfall was that on their website where I placed the order, there was no description as to what was in the dish. It was full of spring onions and dried onions (both of which I don’t like) and if I had known this I certainly wouldn’t have ordered this dish. Overall it was still warm when it was delivered and the taste was very nice.

I highly recommend the wild grill... I always have the salt and pepper squid starter and the beef brisket ramen bowl... and it is always top quality, piping hot and delicious fresh food. They have an open kitchen so you can watch them cook your food fresh. The staff are so friendly and will always have a chat with you. By far the best takeaway in leigh for me 👍

What a fantastic company. My mum lives on her own and suffers with dementia. When her lights went before Christmas three companies let her down by not turning up. Fusion Electrical were fantastic with her. Offered to order specific lights if I sent them a link at no extra cost if I wanted them to and when they attended they were outstandingly brilliant with her and sorting her out. Brooke the receptionist kept in contact with me making sure that she passed on the information to the person attending with precise instructions on how best to deal with my mum as she gets a bit forgetful and confused. They were excellent from top to bottom and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Bravo Fusion Electrical, they just don't do a great job but they're great with people too.

Fusion Electrical recently completed a full electrical survey and upgraded the consumer unit in our home. From start to finish, their professionalism was impressive. Both the on-site electricians and the office team were highly efficient and well organised. The quotes, scheduling, reminders, and follow-ups were all handled seamlessly. I was kept informed at every stage, from the initial enquiry to receiving the final, thorough documentation. James even took the time to explain the details, which gave me complete confidence that everything was done to spec. I’m thoroughly impressed and would happily use Fusion Electrical again.

I am so impressed with the team. Office staff so helpful and the men who carried out the work first class. Had a lot of old norweb wiring removed and they reconnected everything and tested. Fitted lights and replacing sockets. They went above and beyond and left the place spotless. Recommend. Thank you 😊
