Finally found a decent butty shop walking distance from work! Unfortunately I left my job 3 months earlier. Worth a walk out of town centre to get here for a sandwich. Massive, good value, and pretty decent but small choice of options. They do breakfasts as well.

Visited for the first time today having only realised this place existed due to walking down Darlington Street and could smell some amazing food which got me looking! Food was fantastic, you can tell the ingredients are high quality despite the very reasonable pricing and the staff are friendly. Will be back.

A true gem in Wigan! This café never disappoints—flavourful food, mouthwatering cakes, and staff who always greet you with a smile. Quick service and a cozy atmosphere make it my go-to spot every time.

Reviewing as I'm eating. This is nice. Won't be going anywhere else now I've tried JKs. Nice welcoming when ordering. Top delivery lad and very nice food. That is very well packed and presented. Could pay by card at the door too but found some change. Wish I had give delivery lad a 10 bob tip now. Thanks JKs. That was nice all round.

This used to be my go to place for a late breakfast when I worked nearby, really liked that I could phone my order in so it was just about ready by the time I got there. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Went back recently after 2 years and was asked if I wanted "Your usual" (my recommendation - try the big breakfast)
