Advantages: CHEAPER BEER! CHEAPER BEER!

Disadvantages: Bit of a trek from the town centre

No 2 in a series – Yes, less than a mile away from the Moon Under Water in Wigan, there is another Wetherspoons. Situated in down town Swinley is the Brocket Hotel – sadly it is now no longer a hotel now that Wetherspoons have taken it over, but they have given the old place a new lease of life nevertheless.

I suppose there are probably a few people who resent the place now – you used to go in on a Wednesday night and the place would be virtually empty apart from the proverbial old boy and his dog. Now you’ll be lucky to get a seat. Once again, price is the main selling point, but it’s even cheaper again than the other Wigan pub as this one is outside of the town centre.

It’s a friendly pub, maintaining the old Brocket feel about it, and there is also room to sit outside on a nice day (you might be waiting a while though for both a table and a nice day! The infamous “Curry Night” on a Thursday is a particular favourite, there aren’t many places that you can get a curry and a pint for under a fiver, so well done there!! And if that’s not incentive enough, then I have it on good authority that one of the (female) bar staff has been known to appear in erm.."magazines"!! Oh dear these reviews always seem to go down hill somewhat!
