Haigh Hits New High

Haigh Hall’s ambitious venture to launch a traditional Sunday Carvery is proving to be so popular with visitors that catering staff have decided to expand the service they offer.

Over 3,500 people have feasted at Haigh since the Sunday Carvery was launched in October last year. To keep up with the demand, from August onwards Haigh Hall’s Sunday Carvery will be served from 1pm to 7pm, an expansion of the current 1pm to 4pm service.

Gary Povall, Catering Manager at Haigh Hall, says, “When we launched the Sunday Carvery last year we were determined to offer people quality food in a quality venue for an affordable price. We are really pleased at the response we’ve had from the public, the Carvery has become really popular with families and couples and with groups celebrating special occasions such as christenings and anniversaries. We encourage children to dine from the fresh food from the Carvery, but also often an alternative menu for young ones.”

Haigh Hall’s venture into the world of Sunday catering is unique for many reasons:
• customers get the chance to dine in an area normally closed to the public
• ingredients are all fresh and sourced locally where possible
• the food is prepared by an experienced team of chefs lead by the former head chef at Royal Birkdale

A family day at the Sunday Carvery can also be combined with a round of golf at the estate’s very own Golf Complex, which is one of the regions finest or a stroll through the 250-acres of country park and charming woodland.

The Haigh Hall Sunday Carvery is part of Wigan Leisure and Culture Enterprises which means all profits are re-invested into leisure and cultural facilities for the benefit of people living in the Wigan Borough.

The two-course Sunday Carvery at Haigh Hall is at £9.95 for adults and £4.95 for children. Three course meals are available for £12.95 and booking is strongly recommended. To book a place please call 01942 832895 or for further information please see www.haighhall.net
