Cherry Gardens, Wigan

WE’RE INVESTING!!

The Cherry Gardens is situated on a roundabout on Wigan Lane, Wigan within ½ mile of the hospital so benefits from the staff and visitors of the hospital. Wigan is a large town in Greater Manchester, England. The town is midway between the two cities of Manchester, 16 miles (25.7 km) to the south-east, and Liverpool, 17 miles (27 km) to the south-west. Bolton lies 10 miles (16 km) to the north-east and Warrington 12 miles (19 km) to the south. It is the largest settlement in the Metropolitan of Borough Wigan and is its administrative centre. The town has a population of 107,732 and the wider borough of 330,713. Wigan was formerly within the historic county of Lancashire.

Pub Layout

On entrance to the pub, on the left hand side is a beautiful, open planned seating area with an open fire, this area is multi functional with part of it converting to a dance floor and entertainment area of a weekend. To the right hand side of the pub is a seating area with a 90 inch tv which shows all live sports daily. A full length bar with an outstanding back bar that once lit up is an amazing feature to the pub. There is also a raised pool and sports area, which will potentially be removed during investment to make room for additional seating/ dining. Towards the rear of the pub is a hidden kitchen which is due to be developed to a high standard. A ramp leads down to the ladies and gents toilets. Externally, to the front of the pub there is a paved seating area with space for several benches and to the rear there is a car park for approximately 40 cars.

This pub is a community local which would benefit from a traditional food offer that isn’t currently in place. It should open from 12 daily with food served 7 days a week, offering a home cooked traditional pub grub with a superb Sunday roast. Live entertainment at the weekend will run alongside sky and BT sports that will bring back the iconic days of the Cherry Gardens.
