Wigan Restaurants, Pubs and Nightclubs

Wiganers are famous for their love of pies, so much so that the town is home to the annual World Pie Eating Championships. Despite the locals’ love of pastry, the town does have a number of restaurants offering other foods that visitors may appreciate.

Wigan is also famous for having the greatest concentration of bars and pubs in North West England, most of which are found on King Street.
