I must say I am looking to giving the new Wigan Central a try on Good Friday. Is it any good?

Brisk walk on a cold night there after game last night. Really nice pub, great selection of beer at prices which seem very cheap ( I guess) to anyone not from the North-West. My son, who lives in London, home of the six quid pint couldn't believe it!

Thanks for the heads-up, guys!

Safe to say that The Bowling Green has gone somewhat downhill since my last visit. How long has The Royal Oak been closed? Decent trip.

Yep, the BG has been going downhill for a good while now, sadly. The Royal Oak has been shut a couple of years now, but the ex-landlord has opened a new micro pub called Doc's Symposium, down near the park. Good little place, too, nice selection of beers and some lovely upmarket barsnacks at reasonable prices. http://whatpub.com/pubs/LAS/16885/doc-s-symposium-wigan
