Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko Wigan te kainga o te whakataetae kai paipa o te Ao, i te nuinga o te wa i "Harry's Bar" i Wallgate. Kua whakahaerehia te whakataetae mai i te tau 1992, a i te tau 2006 i taapirihia he whiringa kai kai. I ētahi wā ka kīia ngā Wiganers he "kai-pai". E kiia ana ko te ingoa mai i te
1926 General Strike i te wā i matekai ai ngā kaimahi maina waro o Wigan ki te mahi i mua i ō rātou hoa mahi i ngā tāone e karapoti ana, ā, i akina rātau ki te kai i te "pai whakaiti". Hei taapiri, e mohiotia ana a Wigan hei kaainga mo nga Potae Mint a Uncle Joe.
