The Wheel Restaurant

"We attended the Chinese New Year set meal where the students prepare, cook and serve the meals. The food was excellent and the service was brilliant. We loved our meal so much have booked another evening there."

"The Wheel restaurant – Wigan & Leigh College is class. This restaurant is the perfect way for any inspiring young people who might be thinking of getting into the catering business. The Wheel is 99% run by the students who train there, from chefs to silver service to bar service, they control most of it except of course with the help of the very experienced staff just to oversee. We went for our Christmas day dinner and it was delicious. These young students did themselves incredible proud. The meal from starters to dessert where cooked to perfection and very well presented. The young students kept coming to our table to see if we were happy and we could tell a few of them seemed nervous but they didn’t need to be, as the very experienced staff were on hand who had done an amazing job with these young students. Even at the end of sitting they chefs came out of kitchen to see us, explained which part they prepared, cooked, presentation etc etc was very endearing and lovely to see The restaurant is very simple nothing fancy, but this is a place of teaching and all funds The Wheel gets get pumped into maintaining the restaurant and the college, so don’t go thinking is a swanky place it’s not, but as long as you have a good time with friends and family, the meal is perfect then who cares to be honest. They have limited seating and opening times so always check on their website and pre-book…you will not be disappointed and at the same time helping our future generation."

"We’re sat here now having Christmas dinner. Couldn’t fault a thing. Excellent service, the students are a credit to the college. All 6 of us had a variety of starters, mains and desserts. All perfect and fantastic value for money."

"Very well cooked and presented food. Excellent!"

"We've been 4 or 5 times with various people and the food has been brilliant. Not just good for collage students... It's really good! You get a nice (and still cheap) meal and students get a chance to learn and work towards a future in catering."
