Just a 5-minute walk from Wigan's train stations, this was a convenient place for us to head for breakfast, as we had an hour to spare whilst changing trains. The main room is split into two sections, one with the bar at a slightly higher level than the other. I also seem to recall further seating up a flight of stairs from previous visits here.
Breakfast was adequate as usual, despite it being very busy on our Sunday morning visit. Service at the bar was quick. The usual Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Sharp's Doom Bar were all on, with guests being Phoenix Wobbly Bob, Wychwood Hobgoblin Ruby, Wily Fox Karma Citra, Brains The Rev James, Coach House Postlethwaite's & Moorhouse's Off Grid. At 3.4%, the latter went down well with the breakfast. There were no bag-in-the-box ciders.
This is definitely an older style Wetherspoon's and isn't as good as the Brocket Arms, some way out of the centre. Nevertheless, it was a perfectly fine choice for a Sunday morning breakfast with a chaser.

Old skool Victoriana-styled JDW. Quite nice if a bit battered and it felt more characterful than the average Spoons, with plenty of distinct areas and cubby holes over a couple of levels. Four guests and my Robbies Tom & Berry was an excellent drop (NBSS 4). I was impressed and I’d certainly pop in again next time, unusually I didn’t eat in here because I was already two pies to the good by this point, this being Wigan and me being a fat git tourist. 7.5

This is an older style Spoons which was busy at the time of my visit at 11:30 on Wednesday, with a mix of people from the tail end of breakfast, those wanting a drink, and those waiting for the lunchtime menu. There are two distinct sections as well as stairs leading up to what looked like a small mezzanine style seating area (not investigated).
At the bar, two banks of six hand pulls, the two banks being duplicated and all were clipped and ready for action. The usual trio featured plus three guests. Not a wild choice of styles with at least two of the guests being bitters or pale ales. Standard Spoons pricing of course with guest ales currently £2.46 a pint. Service was pretty efficient.
