Seems to be under new management as they have new staff & landlady.
The place seems to be run a lot better than it was, the staff are more friendly/welcoming/polite & the landlady seems a nice lady.
The place was busier than it was the last time we visited so must be a good thing.
The pub seems more cleaner & better run.
Being a very old coaching inn it's set in 3 rooms game's room/lounge & restaurant area.
Never tried the food but the beer is better than I remember.
Place was full of a mix of families & 30+ with no under age kids drinking here when we visited so maybe the review below needs removing! -

The boars head on the outskirts of wigan 'standish' one of the last old style pubs in wigan. As a local to the area I can honestly say the pub is slowly being ran into the ground. The staff and ignorant and many are under the legal aged to serve alcohol. What use to be a friendly old mans working mans pub is now the new hang out for teenagers. It seems to be a drinking hole for them on the weekend before they hit king street. The owners seem to turn a blind eye to the under age kid that are being served and who are working behind the bar. And for the food, well you would think as they are in competition with the brocket that is within walking distance for the pub they would up their game a little but all I can say is the petrol station across the road have better pre packed sandwichs than the quality they expect you to eat. Which comes to my next point. I know it is in one of the better off places in wigan but they don't half use that to their advantage. Beer and food is too expensive!!! It's a shame but this pub is no longer a nice and friendly place to be , unless you under the legal age if 18.

this pub sits on a very old crossroads between wigan, chorley and standish. the pub itself is as old as they come and decor to match. that's not a put down.. it's just full of old world charm.. real ales and closing times to match. if you do find it open popin and ask for a magners just to confuse them :-) seriously good bitter but that's what they are about if you like your beer in a bottle this ain't for you.
