 Come join us again for what is the second
Wigan Food & Drink Festival. You are invited to dine and drink with us
as we celebrate the tastes and the traditions that make Wigan unique.
The inaugural festival in 2007 was a great success. We enjoyed sell out
events, popular demonstrations and massive media attention, all proving
that there is an appetite (if you pardon the pun) for such a festival in
Wigan.
Our aim as festival organisers, is to showcase the Borough’s quality
restaurant sector and the skilled and creative people that work in it,
and to rediscover our traditional pubs. And celebrate our proud culinary
heritage.The Main

This year, 20 restaurants will showcase their fayre and flair under
one of two themes:

together restaurants from across the borough, from canal-side to
countryside, all with one thing in common, great menus of great
British food and regional dishes in particular.
- Whilst Taste International
features restaurants that serve up dishes from across the
continent and sub-continents. From tapas to tikka, we will show
off wonderfully varied and quality international establishments
that you don’t have to leave the Borough to experience.
- The Road to Wigan Beer -
For the second year running, a guide to twenty specially selected
pubs each offering real ale and real character.
So between the 3rd - 13th October put less in your shopping trolley and
turn off the celebrity chef channels. Come experience good food and
drink live. Come celebrate with us in one of our restaurants or pubs;
come learn to cook or improve your existing culinary skills - taste and
