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.

Proper pub grub proper prices with friendly service. What more do you want, spot on!

Lovely place-staff friendly and attentive, food lovely, fair price too. One of my fav places to eat!

faultless food and service

Booked here prior to an event at the Heron Theatre. Excellent service, welcoming and attentive staff and ecellent food.

Booked on line for Sunday Lunch...very easy to do so would suggest you do the same. We both had the Roast Beef which was priced on average with other dining establishments in the area. Service was excellent but the meal was spoiled due to the plates being cold and as a result the meal went very cold quickly. Mentioned this to the waitress who suggested that I should have mentioned this sooner so that they could have reheated the meal I assume by using a microwave but my experience of reheating food in a microwave has not been to my satisfaction. We have been to the Wheatsheaf many times as it is very local to where we live and never had any reason to complain before but this time (which I'm sure was a one off) the cold plates resulting in the food going cold quickly was unfortunate. This experience will not put us off going again and I'm sure that this was an isolated case but certainly worth mentioning in a review.

Great food, lovely venue, attentive service, pleasant evening-will definitely visit again

Faultless food and service

An excellent meal

Great find, lovely homecooked food served with a warm friendly smile in a traditional pub atmosphere.

Excellent early evening meal at this beautiful pub. The staff made us feel very welcome, food was excellent, good choice of beer and wine. Dog friendly

We have been visiting the Pub since the early 1990,s and have seen many changes in this time. Wonderful location, atmosphere and staff. The food has changed over the years and was ok. Couple of points we would like to make from our last visit, the prawn starter is served with no side salad or accompaniment. The prawns were a lovely flavour but were lonely on there own. The main roasts were served slightly cold, and I asked if I could change the mash for cauliflower cheese and was told flat no. I wouldn’t of minded paying the difference, but no option was offered. These are a few points of feedback, overall we enjoyed our food and visit. The waitress was attentive and the food was served in a timely fashion. There was ample staff to deal with the customers throughout the pub.
