The Best Restaurants in Hindley, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Visited last night for the first time. Absolutely gorgeous food, lovely ambiance & excellent sangria. We chose 6 dishes between 2 of us and we couldn’t finish it all. The mussels special was delicious and the sauce was lovely with soft bread. Sophia makes an excellent Biscotti Cheesecake! No doubt we’ll be back.

We have recently moved to the area and it’s been the best place so far! Will definitely come back 😍. Chistorras and Gambas Pil Pil were delicious. Highly recommend 🥰

Lovely food, very welcoming and great atmosphere. Wish I took more photos to share with you! The cheesecake was amazing home made and truly delicious. Thank you so a lovely evening with great food!

Cannot praise Casa Carlos enough. Right from being greeted by the lovely Sophia the atmosphere was second to none. Feeling relaxing, comfortable and at home it took me back to my many times abroad visiting tapas bars certainly could have been anywhere but Wigan Town centre. We were offered drinks then later ordered our food at no time did we feel rushed and our personal requests were taken into consideration with no fuss. Oh my days the food was delicious and presented so well and good portions compliments to Callum the chef perfection on a plate! Deserts were delicious almost too nice to eat as they were presented so well. As we wrapped up our dining experience we all agreed we would definately be returning . A beautiful place amazing staff and wonderful atmosphere with fantastic prices to top it off. Thankyou Sophia, Callum and Casa Carlos

Felt really welcomed on entering the restaurant, staff were lovely and attentive. We were seated and asked for drinks and they were brought promptly. We ordered the lamb rump and the pork three ways, no starters as I noticed they offered a cheese board for dessert! Food was amazing so was the service. Highly recommend.

Had a great meal here with family. Fairly large table and we were well looked after. Food was decent quality and a really fair price. Will definitely be back soon

Amazing food and outstanding service. The waitresses were super polite and attentive. Courses were served quickly and everything tasted fantastic. We were entertained by a lovely lady doing a belly and swords dance. I'd definitely eat here again.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Melis Restaurant , and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was perfect for the occasion, and the food was absolutely fantastic—full of flavor and beautifully presented. A special shoutout to our amazing waitress, Daniela, who went above and beyond to make the evening truly special. She was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect for my party. Her warm and friendly service added so much to the celebration. Thank you, Daniela, and thank you, Melis, for making my birthday so wonderful! Highly recommend this place.

Called on spec about 2.30pm. Food was great but took a long time to arrive. I had the chicken skewer and a chocolate mousse type dessert.

Just been for a family meal. Service was great . The food was outstanding. Garlic mushroom starters, goats cheese starter, and you definitely have to try the lamb chops. They really know how to cook a perfect steak also. The portions are very generous and the food is piping hot and full of flavour. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Fabulous food… best food around. Staff are so friendly and polite. Will definitely return…

We've been 4 or 5 times with various people and the food has been brilliant. Not just good for collage students... It's really good! You get a nice (and still cheap) meal and students get a chance to learn and work towards a future in catering.

This restaurant is a really lovely great fabulous place to eat. The staff atmosphere are amazing 👏

We’re sat here now having Christmas dinner. Couldn’t fault a thing. Excellent service, the students are a credit to the college. All 6 of us had a variety of starters, mains and desserts. All perfect and fantastic value for money.

Me and my family very enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. The food served was perfect, and atmosphere was very cosy, however only thing noticed was the temperature was slightly cold. overall, the service, food and atmosphere was amazing. Thank you!

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.

Absolutely incredible food and service. I am a bit of pain and asked for something potentially awkward, the chef came out to speak to me and went above and beyond. The food was delicious. Never had that kind of experience before. Thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic food and the chef coming out to ask about the experience and chat was a very good touch. Can't wait to go back. Best meal out in the last couple of years.

Delicious Italian food, with attentive service and a pleasant ambience We dropped in, last minute, and were made to feel very welcome. As it was a week night, there were unbelievable offers on three course meals. We couldn't help but indulge. Each of the three courses was delightful. We started with mouth-watering garlic bread, half cheese and half tomato. Then we had the paté of the house and calamari, both well-presented and delicious. For mains, we had pollo al pepe and a seafood linguine. The sauce for the chicken was sumptuous, especially good for dunking bread and chips! Pannacotta and salted caramel cheesecake were served for dessert and they were totally lush! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and couldn't fault a thing. What a lovely little find, we'll definitely be back. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Amazing place to come for great, flavourful Italian food. Came here for the first time last week and we had some truly good food, that tasted very authentic and was excellently made. We had the three courses for a set price option, which in some places reduces your choices for what to have but not here, the options are wide and varied and every taste is catered for. The starters were nice, I had the soup of the day (tomato) and my partner had the breaded mushrooms. It was the mains that stole the show though, I had the chicken breast in peppercorn and cream sauce which was gorgeous! I had the mixed vegetables as my side and all together made a truly lovely meal. My partner had the chicken stroganoff and she was blown away by it, even as far as to say it was the nicest she’s ever tasted! Compliments to the chef indeed. Deserts, again were very, very nice indeed, I’d highly recommend the cheesecake myself. We went on a Friday night, so as you can imagine it got busy, very busy. The restaurant itself is quite compact and a lot of tables have been put in here, so you do sit quite close to your fellow diners. It is close, but not close enough to become uncomfortable, there’s just enough space. The staff are highly attentive and serve you quickly whenever anything is needed. The food and drinks come quickly as well, you don’t have to wait long at all and all empty plates and glasses are cleared away quickly. Even though your orders come swiftly and plates go as soon as they are empty, you never feel rushed at all and as stated, the staff are very helpful, professional, polite and always serve you with a smile, it’s simple things like that, that make dining here a must. I’d highly recommend coming here if your craving good, hearty authentic Italian food.

Food was delicious. Had the soup of the day- mushroom and chicken & spaghetti with meatballs for mains. Really delicious. Waiters were friendly and helpful. Fast service and filling portions. We had a party of 20 and the food was served perfectly!

Absolutely loved the whole experience from start to finish. We didn't book and it was busy and they found us a table really quick, all of the servers were polite and friendly and the food was amazing !!! Really good chicken and a nice side of veg and potatoes... Definitely a 5* and I can't wait to come back next time I'm working in the area 💯

By far the best Indian restaurant in Wigan, the food is excellent and brilliantly presented using dry ice to add a dramatic effect. The staff are always friendly and nothing is ever too much. Zak and the team should be very proud of this gem on a restaurant.

Atmosphere is absolutely amazing, the staff are so friendly and attentive, could not recommend this place enough will definitely be back again. The food came really fast and the desserts are unreal.

Came here for a boxing day meal. Very gorgeous place and instantly felt welcoming. A lot of staff for a busy day and all tables were soon filled after our arrival. There are plenty of options on the menu. I got a 3 course meal, which was delicious, and we had regular check backs for service and drinks. All of the staff you could see were incredibly busy, and all made efforts with the customers to ensure a memorable atmosphere. We were even visited by the chef at the end of the meal to receive additional feedback. Nice little touch. We will be back. My only slight ever concern, was our location point, situated across from the staff room which released cold air each time someone left / entered which was a door used on most occasions so I did feel cold most of the time eating, despite having a Cardigan on. Anywhere else seating wise, I could imagine this being no problem. Also, whilst we were in the middle during busy service, it did become crowded, and there seemed to be a lot going on, which made me a little anxious. The staff were very effective with table turning and seating customers / quick turnover, which is needed during the festive season. That being said, the turnover actually became a little wild, sliding chairs past our table to line across the wall - multiple times and shouting across the restaurant to each other to communicate needs for setting up the table. Obviously, business is business, and it's great to see good communication, but it did feel like I was at a crazy bar, not a dining experience at times. I'll give it another go because understandably it was a busy evening and the staff really cared about the service to ensure everything is running smoothly. For me, I might try an evening where it's not too busy and seated away from the door. Thank you for the meal and service. Overall, we did enjoy it! 😊

Cannot praise this place enough! 🥰🥰 they looked after us sooooo much! The food was perfect! The service was perfect! Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was spot on! It was my wife’s birthday and they literally couldn’t do enough for us to make our night special. I will without doubt be coming back for another night here and would recommend to anyone! Loved it 🥰

Absolutely amazing food, went here on a whim after typing tacos near me on google. Did not disappoint, large portions and tastes amazing. If you like spicy food I suggest taking some hot sauce or asking for some as food is mild, but tastes amazing.

Lovely building and a really nice restaurant. The food was really nice with lots of flavours and colours like you would expect from a Mexican but my only critique is I like spicy food and asked for it to be hot but unfortunately it was very mild. Other than that we really enjoyed it

First time at La Sentidos Loca, and definitely won’t be the last, had amazing service as soon as we stepped through the door, sharing nachos to start with Cluck and Moo burger and Slow cooked beef tacos, all fantastically presented and delicious. Food is well priced with a good prices drinks menu . Absolutely worth a visit

Amazing service and perfect food. We love our every visit in La Sentidos Loca. Never felt disappointed. Today we have visited La Iguanas and all I must say.. Sentidos Loca is definitely our favourite!

Great experience as always, brilliant food and the staff are brilliant especially Jack who had incredible customer service and I cannot complement enough!

Well... What an amazing place. Food was outstanding, service was great and overall a really good experience. Can't fault this place. Defo returning back. Value for money 👍. The most photos I've ever taken of food and gutted I couldn't fit in dessert.

Sunday roast dinner was amazing, so tasty. Plenty of drinks to choose. Good cocktails promotion on Tuesday to Thursday at 5 pm till 8 pm. Clean toilets. Nice atmosphere.

I came today with my partner and we both got the Full English breakfasts and one of us got a normal tea and the other got an Earl Grey tea. The food was excellent and so was the quality and there was no grease on the plate at all which I have been told is a good sign. The food also tasted fantastic and was really high quality. Also the attendants were friendly, helpful and always around if you needed them.

Charming restaurant with some really lovely staff & friendly service. Food was very tasty. Toilets are on the first floor. They are clean for sure, but have your wits about you when going up or down the steps. Decor is clean, modern & has a relaxed vibe. It certainly appears to be child friendly. We did notice a few children in on the evening we dined there. They were happy & well behaved. There's parking down the right side of the building & right across the road, there is another free parking area too. You won't be stuck for a spot. We do plan to visit this restaurant again at a later date. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Been here a few times & food is always lovely, especially the pasta dishes! Service is excellent too.
