Reviews in Milnthorpe

As a frequent visitor to the area we often eat out and booked the Wheatsheaf for Sunday lunch I have just read previous reviews and saw that someone commented that they had a table in a corner next to the stairs, we had the same table. It was tucked away, dark and cramped also it was very cold! The food is always good, reasonably priced and has decent portions. The service is also good with efficient polite staff. I have marked the atmosphere down purely because of the table

Love this place. They catered for an important family event following the loss of my father and, even though he had never been, the ambiance of the place makes him feel close. The building is fabulous, love the history. The food and service are second to none. My husband and I had a great meal - indeed we have never had a poor meal here and the service is top notch. Love it.

First time I’d visited The Wheatsheaf and thoroughly enjoyed the Cobb Salad, I’d chosen. The other three people in the party all enjoyed their food too. Staff very friendly and polite. Good service, didn’t feel rushed allowing us to have a good catch up. Will return !

We really enjoyed our meal and appreciated the perfect portion sizes which allowed us to eat it all up! Friendly service and welcoming atmosphere added to our stay. We look forward to a return trip.

Had a lovely two day stay at the Wheatsheaf. Lovely atmosphere and lovely people and great food. It was a great treat for us.

Fabulous as usual. The nut roast was delicious. The service by Lucy and the team brilliant.

Food excellent. Great pub with plenty of character. Staff very attentive, polite and professional.

Food was lovely and plenty of it. The service was a tad slow but when staff did come to table they were very pleasant. The atmosphere was good although they would benefit from a mobile card machine, as the bar area was quite full and would have liked abit more room and privacy whilst using my card. It was lovely to sit by the open fire and our three year old grandaughter also loved it too. Always a friendly welcome .

Always a great atmosphere and brilliant service. Every staff member has always been incredibly friendly and welcoming. Food great, beer great, staff great. Whats not to like.

Used the Wheatsheaf for a post funeral meal for 50. Helpful staff before and during the buffet. Coped well with various dietary requirements. Good sized room with ample seating and circulating space.

Not large portions,but excellent quality food.Both meals very good

Love eating here. Lovely setting and great choice on the menu. Service is great and food never disappoints. A change in menu for spring would be lovely??

Had an excellent time at the Wheatsheaf last Saturday evening (21st.) with our Son and his Partner. We all loved the friendly relaxed atmosphere in this attractive 17th. century inn. The service was welcoming, friendly and cheerful. There was plenty of choice with a specials list and my wife, who is a vegetarian was well catered for. There is a good range of drinks, my Son enjoyed the draught Belgian beer and I enjoyed one of the local real ales on offer which was very well kept. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food (the fish was outstanding) and we look forward to returning. We live locally and have visited the Wheatsheaf several times and know that it always maintains its high standards of food, service and welcome.

We visited the Wheatsheaf on 24 December. We used the on line booking system to book a table for 5. This was very straight forward and we received a reminder of our time the day before. The menu was seasonal and the food was excellent. The staff were attentive and helpful. Only downside - our table was very near to the front entrance and every time the door opened you could feel an icy draft which at times was uncomfortable especially if a few people came in together. Next time we will request a table in the back room where the fire is.

Went for a lovely meal on New Years Day, food was delicious. Portions though are way two big (strange thing to say I know) but I ordered the onion bhaji to start (3) in one portion, then had the chicken parmigiano, the chicken breast was so big, you could have got two portions out if it, hence I could not finish mine, which I was so annoyed as it was lovely! My husband waived on the starter and opted for the Philly cheese steak and fries which he really enjoyed, then his fave pud - sticky toffee pudding with custard. The two of us were full to bursting. Staff are all friendly and attentive but not in your face. Reasonably priced and a lovely end to a fab New Year

A party of three had lunch with you on Friday 30th December. We were at the big round table in the window by the fire. It had been a very wet week so the fire stoked up was really welcome. We all greatly enjoyed our meal. Service was quick and attentive. We have eaten with you before and will do so again.

Our first meal at the Wheatsheaf on New Year's eve and it was beautiful. Our new local when we're at our holiday home.

Me and my family had an absolute beautiful meal here in the afternoon of New year's eve, it was highly recommended to us and we were over the moon with the exceptional quality of the food, the service was outstanding and just the whole experience was delightful, the inn has so much history and it's got a friendly welcoming feel to it and we will definitely be eating here again when next in the area on holiday.
