"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."

Good outdoor seating area, food is limited and I would consider a little over priced. That said and done it's of a decent quality and always served hot.

I love the home made cheese pie from here! So very tasty! Unfortunately at the time of writing this review, they have changed the menu and it’s no longer the amazing home cooked food that they used to do. It’s turned into a chain. Very sad about this as it’s the same menu as anyone local pub we go to very close by.

We have called in a couple of times with our puppy. It's a very dog friendly place. The staffa nd regular customers have been very friendly too. A great beer garden even if it cooler and wet they have a marquis to sit under with a heater. Dogs are welcome inside on ahead and not in food area. Not eaten there yet but will try. Have regular events for people to attend with fun days, music events etc. Highly recommend

I can’t recommend the Robin Hood enough! We go there regularly and cannot fault the food and service. We often take our puppy there too which is super handy! One side is dog friendly and the other is the main restaurant which works so well for us and the best of both worlds! We have also held our daughter’s party there which was again just amazing the staff are super helpful and always so lovely. Definitely recommend!! View menu

Went today for some drinks with friends to catch up. When approached the bar the two men behind the bar were talking amongst themselves then when they spotted us one said F ck O and walked off? We were so confused, as we just walked up the bar? We asked him for two simple Rum Cokes which seemed difficult for him? As he rolled his eyes when ordering. As we were leaving they were laughing at us when walking out of the door. How can you expect paying customers when treating people like this?? Needs some sorting out ASAP.

I notice there are several reviews complaining about portion sizes and sadly this is another one. I ordered sausage and mash and the mash was invisible underneath the 3 sausages. The mash was the cheapest part of the meal and yet the portion was pitiful. I felt like handing 5p to the server and asking him to go tell the chef to mash another spud and give him the 5p as payment for it. It cost £12.95 for 3 sausages which were actually very tasty, a small blob of mash and barely a spoonful of peas. I know they need to make a profit but the size of the meal was just a rip off. The tables looked grubby , our table felt sticky and they all looked as if they needed a good wash down followed by some...

"After reading the reviews we was really looking forward to eating here ,however it turned out to be the worst tapas and worst service we have ever received . After waiting 10 minutes for someone to take our drinks order we then waited a further 30 mins to be served with what can only be described as toast with tasteless mushed up tomatoes on , this was inedible and hardly touched , a further 20 minutes on and we was served a single dish of chicken between two of us again this was very bland and resembled nothing like a original tapas dish more like a chicken korma again this was hardly touched . When I enquired as to where the rest of the food was I was told they was very busy . With this we decided to cut our loses and asked for the bill . Before leaving we tried to have a conversation with the manager who is also the chef to give some honest feedback ,however he wasn’t open to listening , he’s response was “it’s normal in a tapas restaurant to receive one dish at a time between two with a large gap between dishes wasn’t it explained to you that’s what tapas is “We felt this was a very patronising remark as we eat tapas on a regular basis and know this is definitely not the case . To matters worse there was people who came in after us with multiple plates and tucking in nicely to their meals . The manager who was obviously struggling to cope on a busy Saturday night should have just apologised and admitted our order had been overlooked . If you are looking for authentic Tapas with excellent service in Wigan go to Casa Carlos this place doesn’t deserve your hard earned money ."
