We love a good Wether 's wherever we go, can always count on the good food for good prices, especially breakfast! We 've been to The Brocket tonnes of times over the years... (if you can find a Wigan 'er that hasn 't I 'd be very impressed) and it 's always been a great place. We haven 't been though in a couple years (since before COVID) and decided to stop by at the weekend for a spontaneous breakfast. The place is looking a little run-down now though to be honest, and here 's why: Even though the place was almost empty, half of the tables weren 't cleaned properly before we chose one. Eventually when we found a clean one suitable for me and my wife and our 1 year old daughter, the cushion...
I recently recommended the Brocket Arms for food to my teenager son and his girlfriend after several faultless visits by my wife and myself. My son visited on 12 August and unintentionally exceeded the parking by 20 minutes as they were still eating in the latter of the parking time. Days later a £75 fine came and she paid it to avoid the full amount. I understand parking in town centres must be policed to make sure the right people are parked there, like my son, but surely the Brocket could adopt a parking policy like The Toby Carvery where you register your car and get to eat your meal without the worry of going over your ticket. Any future people driving to eat at the Brocket I’d suggest...
We’re regulars at The Brocket however it just falls short in comparison to other Wetherspoons! The food doesn’t seem to be cooked in the same way as other Wetherspoons and falls short of being what it used to be. We usually sit round the back in the unofficial family area which unfortunately has quickly become the vaping area!!! Staff don’t seem to want to deal with it. I’ve asked the staff, I’ve asked the people who are vaping to stop and nothing happens. I can imagine this is difficult to deal with however it’s not what you want when I’m coming to eat. Please encourage and train your staff to speak to people vaping and back them up when they do! Thanks
The Brocket used to be a regular thing for us locals for food. Not any more! Went last week, they had hardly anything on the menu, hardly tables had not been wiped (covid -19 infection paradise), almost every one had a pile of dirty plates on, and because of the poor service (guess they can't cope with the app orders and table service) we ended up going over the hour we'd paid for and received a £75 fine for the car park. Not cheap, no quality and wont be going again, like a lot of regulars. A nightmare !

was told to wait while a table became free, fair enough. The lady then walked off and others walked in. She later came back and told me there were big queues for food and tables. As I walked off there was one empty table on sight. Very poorly run no organisation as I was next for a rable.
FABULOUS EVENING. Lovely food and drinks. The waitress Bethany was lovely, really accommodating and made our evening!! Certainly go to this pub if you want friendly service, good food and drinks. Best experience in a Wetherspoons . Bethany is a credit to your team!
Never again just been sent a £75 parking fine because the service was too slow. Lost our custom now and also my families, should have gone to Forbes on the Lane, good food and free parking, we just wanted to try the brocket cost us dearly.
Went with a couple of friends for an evening meal. The place was very busy but one of the waiters managed to find a place for us to sit. Food was served very fast.
