About Us

We are a local, family run business. Whilst living in Australia for 12 months in 2014 we discovered our passion for good/quality coffee. When returning to Wigan we settled in Orrell and then wanted
to share with people the same quality coffee we had enjoyed for the last year. Shortly after the local rbs bank closed down and that is where “the old bank, coffee and wine bar” was born.

5 years down the line and we are still very much winging it as we both came from very different backgrounds but our love for quality food, coffee, wine and beer and most importantly providing a place where other people can go and appreciate it has definitely helped us.

Throw 3 kids into the mix and life’s other trials and we are still here and expanding. We now have our second shop situated in Pemberton which was also a former bank and boasts many original features such as “the vault” and the safe and is the perfect place to have a drink or some quality food cooked by our amazing chef.

That brings us to the present and 2021 were we have just opened our 3rd site which is the “Uppercrust pizzeria” by the old bank. Located next door to Orrell shop the original idea was for it to provide a private an area for smaller private gatherings, such as christenings etc but during the construction phase we came up with the idea to offer another favourite of ours, pizza!!!
