    Awesome hidden gem - unless you all know about it, and I'm just late to the party! Lots of little nooks and crannies, with all sorts of vintage, retro and second hand treats. Didn't try the cafe, but there were delicious smells coming from there. Would definitely try another time. Also pleased with free on site parking.

    Hidden gem in wigan! There’s some nice solid wood furniture, lots of old bar/pub paraphernalia and then multiple stalls selling various second hand items including some clothes. There’s a record shop and a cafe too. You pay for all items at reception and they take card too. Some good deals there amongst a lot of junk. Worth a trip if you don’t mind wading through to find your treasure.

    Really enjoyed our visit, lots of really interesting items for sale. Also a fantastic cafe with really good food at excellent prices.

    I've lived near the old Bulldog Tools foundry site for years but only recently noticed it's now a centre for retro- vintage- objet d'art stalls and a lovely cafe. Despite being on a very busy junction it has ample free parking although you still have to enter the building from the main road. My husband has to use a mobility scooter but was made very welcome and managed to manoeuvre the snug aisles between stalls. The cafe is upstairs but we'll worth the climb with very friendly and helpful proprietors and a simple but yummy menu. We only went for a look but came away with a pair of watercolours and a lovely jug and we'll be back😁.

    Great shopping experience and plenty of bargain purchases to be had. If you want something a bit different you will probably find it here. Staff very friendly and helpful.

    I had driven past many times but hadn't gone in until fairly recently, there's actually some interesting things for sale and the cafe is very reasonably priced. I wouldn't say it was worth a special trip if you're a fair way out of Wigan but it's excellent as an hour's diversion as part of a day out.

    Great collection of little stalls. Lovely little fabric, clothes and dress making patterns stall, this is my favourite. The place to find little knick knacks, Old tools, furniture, crystals and lots more. I only wish it was bigger The place to go if you're making your own at home pub too.

    Fantastic place with lovely, helpful staff. Will definitely visit again. We also had lunch here in the cafe upstairs - lovely selection of hot and cold drinks, panninis, toasties and snacks

  • 5/5 Peter D. 1 year ago on Google
    Another little gem full of history also a great place to furnish a home or small commercial bar. Always worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Simon M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place with lots of interesting stalls covering a wide range of cool merchandise, could easily spend more than a couple of hours just browsing happily

  • 5/5 Karen W. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely quirky place. Lots of stalls to browse. Includes clothes, furniture, crockery, records, jewellery, keepsakes and pub furnishings. Also some stalls have handmade items too. There is parking and the cafe offers great food at good prices which also has recently been done up by new owners.

    Good place to visit. Lots of eclectic mix on the stalls, something for everyone. Very nice .

    I visited grantsbulldogforge on 14th July 2022 looking for a pub table and a couple of stools for my man cave and found exactly what I was looking for (the cast iron on the table was pink so I had to paint it black), the place is not big but if your looking to up grade / build a man cave then I would definitely recommend this company plus the staff are not pushy they wait until you are ready and are very polite

    Not been in a while. Nipped this morning for breakfast was absolutely lovely. New owners of cafe couldnt have made us more welcome. Breakfast antiques and bulldogs happy Sunday. See you soon

    The café here is a must, the breakfasts are amazing, the couple who run it are so friendly it was like nipping to your mums for breakfast .. thank you both for a warm welcome & thanks for the earl grey tea xx

    Lots of wonderful, unique items at good prices, a sizeable music section (I like the "3 CDs for £2.50" deal) stocked with big names such as My Chemical Romance and Avril Lavigne, and a cafe that was unfortunately closed when I visited, but I have heard great things about.

  • 5/5 Karen B. 1 year ago on Google
    My first visit I was so impressed me and my husband walked around looking at a the fabulous things and I can honestly say that the prices are very responsible I will be definitely going back as I've see something I have been looking for, for age's so will be back to get it at weekend it's like going back in time with all the different things that you can buy already made a list for Xmas presents from here

    Quite a lot of hype around this location selling "pub" related items. There didn't seem to be a lot of bargains when I went. Additionally, there is quite a lot of decoration items for sale. There is a cafe on the first floor. Finally, there this place seems to be similar to how botany bay operated whereby there are individual stalls by independent sellers.
