Every course was delicious and portions perfect

We have been to the restaurant many times over the last few months, also have a lovely time, good food, and wine, very polite and good service by all staff, have recommended family & friends.

We had the brioche bun with halloumi sticks. It was smothered in mayo and included many cold ingredients so the halloumi and portobello mushroom were cold too. Chips were lovely. Affogato was awful - the coffee and amaretto sauce was watery and it was served with an overdone ginger biscuit - an amaretto biscuit would have complimented better. Our friends chocolate brownie was really a chocolate sponge, it lacked the richness of a brownie. Staff tried hard and we were seated by the fire which was cosy. The wine was decent and beer good. The Wheatsheaf just needs a few tweaks to make it a great place to eat.

Food was poor or at least below expectations. A sunday roast and fish and chips are a great test of a kitchen. They were both just about OK. The white fish was fresh but flaky, not suitable for deep frying. The triple cookedd chips were dry, possibly undercooked or left under warmer. Easiest thing in the world to do. Roast had veg piled in the middle of the plate covered in gravy that can only be described as Brown. Beef was overdone. Ill give the Wheatsheaf the benefit of the doubt and say it was a busy sunday running up to Christmas andthey were overbooked. I'd like to know one reason why I should give them my patronage again though

Excellent service and delicious food in lovely surroundings - thank you.

The place was warm and friendly,the staff courteous and the food was very good and great value for money.

Cosy atmosphere. Well presented tasty food. Staff very pleasant and welcoming.

Lovely food and atmosphere. The Haggies, Neeps and Tatties was excellent. Cannot fault anything

Had lunch with 2 other friends all ordering different meals with one being vegetarian. Have to say we all thoroughly enjoyed it as always. It was well presented, delicious and filling. Despite the place being very busy, the staff were very attentive and we did not have to wait long for our meals to arrive. I have dined at the Wheatsheaf on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. I think it is a great place in a beautiful setting and has a lovely atmosphere. No wonder it has been serving since 1609.

Lovely food in a nice atmosphere.

Had Sunday lunch on 10/12/23 we ordered from the Specials menu, cauliflower & roast Chestnut soup with truffle oil & bread & butter, it was exquisite. Followed by Turkey roast again very tasty quality ingredients truly delicious and highly recommended. Used SugarVine booking all very easy, had an email reminder in the morning.

Service was very good - staff very attentive. Food was lovely and portions very generous. Only downside, was dining area a little cold and dark for the time of year, maybe consider an electric wood burner (would give nice effect)

Went along as a family of three, with each ordering a different meal. The ale pie and nut loaf were both generous and flavourful. The roast of the day, although delicious, was a little dry. Would definitely return.

My wife & I enjoyed Sunday lunch there yesterday, holidaying in the area over the weekend. It was busy, which is always a good sign, there was a good number of staff, friendly & efficient, drinks to the table, acceptable short wait for our meal, a very good roast beef dinner and festive turkey dinner. Low alcohol/alcohol free beers available - we had Erdinger and Peroni. Very impressed for our first visit. It's dog friendly too, if you want to take your pooch. Free parking just across the road.

What a super lunch. Lovely friendly staff. Great beer and amazing food.

Absolutely delicious meal, delightful staff and beautiful atmosphere.

Funeral wake - lovely facilities, attentive staff, buffet beautifully presented with good selection/choices.

Really friendly service and good food.
