We felt that the food arrived far too quick, inside 10 minutes, almost as though we were being rushed out. The menu is very limited and we knew this but had assumed there would be quite a few specials. There were about 4 specials but not a great choice. I picked the chicken burger off the specials and my wife picked the salmon with potatoes but misunderstood that this came with cold uncooked vegetables. Anyway, my burger was ok but he chips were thin fries like McDonalds fries with a small limp side salad. My wife said her salmon and potatoes were ok but she want keen on the abundance of raw carrot, cucumber and raddish! Overall, we were disappointed and probably wouldn’t go back. Also, we are both slim and not big eaters who normally only eat one course, but we both needed a desert to fill ourselves up!

Excellent place to stay or just visit for food and drink. Lovely room and the breakfast was pretty much perfect as well as the food in the evening. Staff were so friendly and helpful, would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Brilliant food great atmosphere and good service. Highly recommended.

Been before food is great and service friendly

Just got back from a wonderful overnight stay. We had previously lunched at The Wheatsheaf which was fabulous, so we couldn’t wait to sample dinner It didn’t disappoint, excellent food (portions are on the large side, so be warned), great selection of beers and wines. Service was excellent too The hotel room was spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed and the shower was great too. Breakfast was just amazing. Lovely fruit platter to start and then a full English breakfast using quality ingredients. Wonderful toast and jam to finish off. They even made us an extra pot of tea for our flask as we were heading off for a walk. 5 star service! Thank you

Five of us really enjoyed lunch at the Wheatsheaf yesterday. Warm environment, warm welcome, lovely food, extensive menu. Well done.

Just back from a wonderful 2 night break. The rooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean, the breakfast was fabulous and all freshly cooked to order. Dinner was delicious with huge portions and a fabulous choice. But most importantly by far was the amazing customer service, every single member of staff was attentive, friendly and really went the extra mike. It’s a stunning old building in a fabulous location, thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Perfect country pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The owners understand lighting and have candles on all tables, which makes a huge difference. The food was good too. Highly recommended!

Amazing Sunday lunch as usual, staff were friendly and always on hand. Great atmosphere. Really great place, tucked away

A thoroughly enjoyable Sunday lunch! Great food and fantastic service, we also thought it was very reasonably priced. Thank you!

Fantastic meal, service and stay! Wonderful hotel, restaurant and pub.

Quality food and value for money meal. Drinks service was a little slow although Restaurant was very busy.

A great pub and restaurant. Always a friendly welcome, attentive service and well cooked food. Highly recommend.

Another very pleasant evening last night in the Wheatchief. Nice atmosphere great service and very very good value for money food. Been several times recently and hopefully many more evenings to come.

Had a meal last night, have eaten here many times never been disappointed before, however I ordered the halloumi portobello mushroom burger WITH mayonnaise. I felt what was served to me was mayonnaise with mushroom and halloumi - complete overkill with mayonnaise, so much so the mushroom and tomato shot out of the bun as soon as i tried to eat it, this was after i had scraped off as much mayonnaise as i could. The waitress came and asked was everything OK with our meal. I told her while the food was good, I couldn't actually enjoy my burger as it was completely smothered in a thick layer of mayonnaise. She apologised saying she would pass my comments onto the chef, I then heard her tell who I presume was the bar manager, no apology or mention from him my concerns when we paid the bill. If was my birthday I cant say i enjoyed my meal that much,. Also we were put on table 9 which felt like we were sitting in a cupboard at the side of the stairs, so not really feeling any atmosphere. Never had a problem before but last night wasn't really a pleasant meal, which is a shame as previously I've never had a problem here.

Charming old pub full of history and very elegant yet down to earth place. Room was beautiful and very comfy bed . Do not hesitate to book to stay here! You will really enjoy it.Staff can't do enough and all are very friendly. Food was really lovely.I had salmon which was cooked perfectly.Breakfast was even better,hot,well cooked and veggie sausage best ever eaten. Whole place full of character and great atmosohere. Very dog friendly and our dog had a fab time too! We are definitely going to return.

A warm welcome at the Wheatsheaf and good service. Excellent Sunday lunch with loads of well cooked veg.

We have been many times and enjoyed it but yesterday it was really disappointing, food was really poor and service too.
