New Charles Dickens, Wigan

Newly refurbished as a modern sports bar. Two handpumps with no beer on them. Not much else to say about it really, it offers no reason for me to revisit as I would rather watch a game across the road with a decent pint.

One roomed lounge with 2 raised areas and a small beer patio at the back. Two booths and a piano to the left of the pub and a pool table to the rear. Some great soul music playing at a sensible volume. 5 handpumps on the bar, but only 3 badged on my Friday, early evening visit. One from their own brewery Mayflower plus one from Schoolhouse amd Tetleys Bitter. Both the Mayflower & Schoolhouse beers were in good nick. It's a very pleasant pub.

Clean, pleasant and bright. 3 real ales on with room for 2 more so I'm sure if you strokey-beards ask nicely he might get more.
