Galloways Bakers - Wigan

Galloways Bakers has been making and selling cakes, pasties, sweets, breakfast items, and sandwiches since the early 1970s, according to their website. The bakery prepares fresh sandwiches daily, either based on 'standard' options or tailored to customer preferences. Their website states that all cakes, pasties, and rolls are freshly baked and available each day. I noticed that this bakery was open on Sunday when many others in the city were closed. Among the local specialties are the 'barm' torte, Wigan's famous kebab, and other dishes like cake, mushy peas, and gravy, all for £2.60 at the time of writing.

The butter and swirl cakes are outstanding, featuring a delightful texture from the potato and swirl mixture found inside. They are generously sized for just £2. If Galloways doesn’t have what you’re looking for, they will gladly call another location nearby to check if it’s in stock!
