"Great Sunday to big disappointment Tuesday.. Sunday myself and my wife was out walking going around the nearby the entire Pennington flash and we decided to call in and have a drink and a roast dinner, the beer garden where we sat and the pub was pretty busy yet our food was out pretty quickly and the roast dinner was nice we was very happy with our visit. So today i thought I’d go again with my son after being happy on the previous visit with service and food quality but it was exact opposite, we ordered our meals and there wasn’t anything like the same amount as Sunday it was pretty quiet all the tables around us was empty. So i order sausage and mash and son goes with the hunter chicken and we order a desert too, the food took ages to arrive and when it does the gravy is loaded with onions yet i didn’t see that mentioned in the gravy on the bar menu but as im hungry i just put it all on a napkin yet even so the food wasn’t anywhere near as nice as the roast even the mash was poor in comparison to one from days previous, chips on my sons food was a lot of smaller end of a bag type stuff. So we finished our main and await the desert and we are waiting and waiting so it’s gone 20mins after us finishing out main and nothing so i get up ask staff who apologise and say they’ll get it sorted but even then it was over 10mins for it too arrive. The desert which was a Sticky toffee and my son had the brownie was very nice as was the roast dinner, but the food today wasn’t that good and the time we was in there must’ve been 70mins which for a pretty quiet pub and we eat fairly quickly made it a disappointing visit as we was just sat waiting majority of our visit. I’d recommend Sunday roast and the deserts yet I’d never go again in the week as the waiting and food wasn’t in the same league as our Sunday visit if my review was based on Sunday it’d be nothing but praise yet today was the opposite so I’ve rated down the middle on my overall visit."

"We love a good Wether 's wherever we go, can always count on the good food for good prices, especially breakfast! We 've been to The Brocket tonnes of times over the years... (if you can find a Wigan 'er that hasn 't I 'd be very impressed) and it 's always been a great place. We haven 't been though in a couple years (since before COVID) and decided to stop by at the weekend for a spontaneous breakfast. The place is looking a little run-down now though to be honest, and here 's why: Even though the place was almost empty, half of the tables weren 't cleaned properly before we chose one. Eventually when we found a clean one suitable for me and my wife and our 1 year old daughter, the cushions on the bench chairs were all falling off, and there were ants residing in the window cills. We ended up moving again! Service wise, the only time we saw/spoke to anyone who worked there was the person who brought out our food, of which got it wrong and had to go back. They were also not really friendly, and quite cold/not helpful. As an example, I asked for Ketchup and was just responded with It 's self serve, its over there in an unfriendly (couldn 't be bothered dealing with me) manner. This all being said, we love the Brocket, its a decent little stop-off for a brekkie when we 're in the area, just wish it was looked after a little better. I think it needs a little bit of TLC personally."
