“We have been many times now, this place is fantastic. Fresh real food. All made by the very friendly owner. Pizzas are delicious and how pizza should be. Loaded fries are perfect too, made from fresh ingredients like everything else. We keep returning for a reason!”

Spaghetti was beautiful, lots of flavour. Garlic bread was crispy and strong. Pizza was great but a little cold, which made the cheese congeal. The staff were friendly and helpful. Very cosy and beautiful little place to visit with an outdoor seating area.

We had a lovely lunch at Antico Forno. The food was delicious and the apple juice was freshly squeezed. The children were so happy with their desserts. The service was wonderful and very friendly. Highly recommend it. Thank you.

Got a delivery, it was the best make your own pizza I have had in a very long time! They are cooked absolutely perfect and they taste like a pizza should taste! Very very good prices for the type of pizzas you get! You won't find better pizzas than here, especially for delivery. Absolutely brilliant food and brilliant service, I will definitely be back, this will be my number 1 spot for my pizzas! If you're after a freshly cooked pizza without the grease this is the place! 10 out of 10 stars if If I could give it. 🙌🙌🙌

“Juniper is a great little find - the food is excellent with a small but well balanced menu for all tastes. We ate lunch here and the food is very good value, 2 courses on the midweek lunch menu for £22. The food was tasty and beautifully presented. The venue is a lovely restored stone cottage with clean, contemporary decor, and an easy journey from M6 Jnct 27. Our waitress was professional and friendly, and managed all the covers in the front of the restaurant without fuss. Will definitely return.”

“Modern restaurant, nice decor. Friendly and efficient staff. Quick service, both of drinks and food. I chose three tapas and that was easily enough for me. Probably best chorizo (with prawns) one that I have ever had, and that includes in Spain.”

“Fabulous food at the wheel restaurant 😋 I went with my mum and sister and had a great meal. It was a shame that there weren't many tables in dining, as these young students need the experience of a full restaurant. They are open Tuesday and Thursday for lunch at 12,12:15,12:30, and the same days but for the evening at 6 pm, 6:15,6:30. We arranged a table on the day so they do take in last min bookings and the drinks prices are excellent 👌 Highly recommend the fish n chips 😋 the fish was the best fish n chips I've ever had, the batter was lovely and light, and the home-made tarter sauce was excellent only thing missing was some mushy peas but the veg that we had to share between us was excellent and could have fed another 4 people, we had carrots, new potatoes, green beans with a ragu sauce and another portion of chips. Honestly, I can't recommend this place enough, and for the price of £17.95 ( for the evening/dinner menu), we all left completely stuffed. we also had a cup of tea at the end and a homemade biscuit 😋”

“The Red Door Bistro – Wigan’s Best-Kept Secret Tucked away behind an unassuming red door in Wigan, this little gem is easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a warm and intimate atmosphere. The dim lighting created the perfect cosy setting, making it feel like a special hidden retreat away from the hustle and bustle. The service was nothing short of exceptional even tho there was 8 of us for a anniversary. The staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring that every detail of our meal was just right without ever feeling intrusive. Their knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot on, adding a personal touch that made the evening even more enjoyable. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely incredible. Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavour, clearly crafted with passion and skill. Every bite was a delight, from the starters to the desserts, with fresh, high-quality ingredients shining through. What truly set the experience apart was the personal touch from the head chef, who came out to speak with us. Hearing about the inspiration behind the menu and the love that goes into every dish made the meal even more memorable. It’s rare to find that level of dedication and connection in a restaurant, and it’s something that will keep me coming back. If you’re looking for an intimate, high-quality dining experience in Wigan, The Red Door Bistro is a must-visit. It may be hidden, but once you find it, you’ll never forget it.”
