Yes Freddy i am calling you a liar,and i think you have a some gripe with this pub,for whatever reason i don't know.We took over this pub in Sept 2009 and we are still here and doing really well.The price of cask ale when you said you came in was £2.70 per pint it is now £2.75.You also say you were the only person in on a saturday night and one barman on duty.Utter and complete lies we have at least 8 staff on saturday nights including 2 pot collectors.I rest my case your a liar.Blue Scrumpy's review is genuine and i would agree Saturday afternoons in Jan/Feb are very quiet but do build up as the weather gets warmer.

Another very quiet pub in the northern reaches of Wigan. The interior is fairly pleasant with a couple of traditional bars and some nice touches. The barman was fairly friendly and talkative. But we were the only customers there and he was surprised to see anybody on a Saturday afternoon. 2 ales were on - Timothy Taylor Landlord & Everards Triple Tiger. The range of pumpclips on the ceilings suggests that they generally have plenty of guests.

and besides i said £3.10, not £3.20. Try actually reading a post before spouting off. You clearly are the liar. I'll never forget that day as i'd never ever been charged over £3 for a pint of bitter in the north west.

HOW dare you call me a liar! I know this pub and surrounding area very well from the mid 1980's, e.g. The Saracen's head pub across the road long since demolished for the ring road, the white hart pub, the old ta centre, Billy Boston running the next pub down. I Got charged over £3 for first and last beer in the Bowling Green in early 2010 and you don't like it. Fine, but don't libel me about what was the truth. It is a shadow of its former self, and been through countless managers over the years.. Sorry if you don't like the truth that it was overpriced and empty on a Saturday evening - when at one time the place was buzzing at that time of day/week.
