We had only found the pub on the web, we hadn?t been there before, but it looked good online and we booked a table for 6pm on a Saturday. When we arrived it became clear that a table hadn?t been reserved for us, in fact there weren?t any tables available. We were just told to wait until one became free and then order food at the bar. This was not what the website had led us to believe. It was very noisy in the bar area, not conducive to a meal, and so we just left. Really disappointing. We should have been told when we booked if it wasn?t going to be appropriate or convenient.

This is the sort of pub you could happily stay in all lunchtime and afternoon. I prefer these older historic pubs to the more polished opponents. We visited for some drinks earlier, the lady behind the bar was extremely understanding as I continued to try to remember my pin number! A great little pub full of atmosphere and has plenty of television screens dotted about. It serves food too. Very impressed. Visited 9th October 2023.

Arrived and ordered a roast dinner each. When the food arrived it was cold and raw, or extremely over cooked. The chicken on my daughters plate was so dry I struggled to cut it up, the broccoli was so hard my partner said the trees at the racecourse are weaker. The Yorkshire puddings were so hard you could knock someone out with them! Gravy came out - shock, it was cold. Asked them to take it back, cooked a fresh. Bought out extras we ordered (cauliflower cheese) and surprise surprise it was cold. Sent that back. Dinner came back out, it was again raw broccoli and rock hard yorkshires. The cauliflower cheese was hot finally. The gravy had gone cold so had to ask for a third lot. Server suggested to shut the door, not that that had any affect on the dinner?s temperature. No refund or free items offered, extremely poor considering there wasn?t anyone else eating so hardly rushed off their feet. Won?t be returning to eat again that?s for sure. What a shame.

Rude, very unhelpful staff. Needed to explain themselves better with the experience we had there today. We?re not mind readers. Disgusting service, especially as we?re coming upto Christmas

Disappointing. Not busy but bar staff couldn?t give me lemon in my G&T because she hadn?t cut the lemon yet!! Food very poor standard like frozen chips with cheep sweet chilli sauce, pizza just average. Last time I went there, the found was amazing, a few years back now. What a shame the new owners couldn?t keep the standards up.

Came to the Wig for a quiet early Friday evening drink, why were two noisy children allowed to roll around on the floor adjacent to the bar. Staff either didn't notice or care, as they were ignored. The Wig never used to be like this. Not what I would expect from a McManus pub.

Excellent town pub with good food and wide range of beers. Roofed courtyard is great when the temperature allows. Live music at weekends.

Although over the years have visited quite a few pubs had not been to this one. Early afternoon and had a good pint in the garden area. Tables were well spaced and it was a pleasant area to have a pint. Good service and price-anywhere up here is cheaper than at home. Noticed heaters were there for cooler evenings.

We ate here in the beer garden with friends. To be fair most of the meals were perfectly fine. Took a long time to get the food from ordering. Prices good. Unfortunately the bread/toast with one of the breakfasts was mouldy. We did get that meal refunded but would of expected more back. Wouldn?t eat here again.

Worst experience ever !Was disgusted to find out that the drink i bought had expired 2months prior to my purchase.I am uphold that the staff in this branch deem it acceptable to sell expired products such as these. Who knows what else they are hiding !
