This is a bit of a silly one really, but I am fascinated by the amount of press certain businesses can receive on Yelp! and like to give shout outs to less known/cared about places.
As a southerner, I had to be introduced to 'proper' pies by the boyf (who is from Wigan, hence the change of scenery from Manchester) and Galloways is our traditional pit stop before or after getting the train in or out of Wigan Wallgate. The ladies here are always lovely and the food is always hot. Now, I say this because Gregg's, your high street version of these smaller bakeries, often serves me up cold sausage rolls and lacklustre pasties which leave me feeling, quite honestly, a bit sad. Galloways pies always fill me up and leave me feeling warm inside, as if I become more northern with every bite. I have always gone for the meat&potato here, which I am assured is the most Wigan option, in order to hide the fact I am obviously not from round 'ere. I liked pies before I went to Wigan, but now I love them, and make sure to have one from Galloways every time I go. Healthy lifestyle, me? Of course.
A small review for a small place, but nonetheless a place to go and refuel if anyone happens to venture into Wigan. read more
