Reviews in Milnthorpe

Went for dinner recently double celebration, first the cons, some members of staff could do with a little more trg, a smile and a greeting should be common practice at all stages of the dinning event not just the seating at the table, the red wine should be served at the top end of room temperature for me not the stored temp, dogs do not belong in eating areas my personnel opinion again bars and tap rooms are fine, small details like the serving of the superb morcambe bay shrimps in butter if served in a small container and extracted with a knife to put on the very good bread the butter cannot be melted to liquid if the dish is served in a bowl then liquid butter over the bread is my preffered way. The pros, my wife’s fish and chips were excellent she said, my pie was very good it would have been excellent but there were more button mushrooms than pieces of steak had the ratio been reversed it was 10 out of 10 the pastry was Roux school quality I have not had better, the sauce with the steak and mushrooms was superb, mash perfect. It is a shame we shall not be visiting again because of the dog rule in the dinning area as there is no doubt the chef and kitchen staff are doing a great job the food is very good and it’s our local pub, if you are ok with dogs in the eating area then I would urge you to visit and if you like pie and mash with great pastry then try one.

Pleasant pub serving a good choice of tasty dishes and good beer. Our only reservation was that portion sizes are rather small!

Excellent, friendly service. Great food, old school Sunday roast. Very dog-friendly.

First time customers, super happy with service, food and location Will definitely visit again

Very pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Good choices on menu with slight variations catered for, e.g. chips for mash

Excellent meal as always,unfortunately for us we can’t resist the fish and chips. Each visit we try to resist but it is sooo good we don’t have the willpower. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Lovely place to break the journey to the lakes .

What a little gem the Wheatsheef is. From the moment I walked in to when I left the staff were always polite and friendly. Evening meals were really nice and tasty and the bar was well stocked - what more could I ask for. The bedroom was clean and tidy and the bed very comfy. I loved the notice in the bedroom about the church bells, I didn't even notice them unless I tried!

Wonderful food, great atmosphere and lovely staff! This is such a little gem of a pub.. huge credit to the staff who are all so friendly and welcoming and it’s very evident that this pub thrives from the great service and great food. Huge bonus that dogs are welcomed.

Very pleasant evening! Good Food great service and friendly atmosphere

very good service with polite and obliging staff.

Lovely attentive staff but so disappointed with the poor quality of the food this time Onion rings were inedible . Huge ,all batter with a tiny amount of onion . Roast beef in the soggy sandwich was stringy Noisy barking dogs on the next table eventually taken out Won't be returning

Great service, good food, excellent VFM and great walks from the doorstep. Probably the best Sunday lunch we have had in the South Lakes/ North Lanc area.

The Sunday roast was excellent - the baked marmalade ham was particularly good - as was the service from the very friendly and welcoming staff. Prices are very reasonable for such food quality food. A great find and a quick diversion when travelling back from the Lakes means we'll definitely be calling again.

Very delicious food . Excellent service from friendly and attentive staff. Perfect meal thank you

Lovely meal with my husband on Thursday 18th September. We had a large table to accommodate our large dog. Prawn starter, fish and chips and a cheese pie all excellent. Lovely staff they are a credit! Extra special thankyou for the staff member that allowed our camper to stay on the car park overnight. Very grateful. THANKYOU

Great food, delicious fish & chips. The service was excellent, both efficient and friendly.

The meal was excellent beautiful food and the staff were so helpful

We have visited this pub a few times and the food is always excellent and service great but yesterday we met family for Sunday lunch, the service is always pleasant and efficient which it still was but the food was not up to the standard we are used to here, the plates were cold therefore food not too warm and the game stew was lacking any veg and the nut roast could have had a Yorkshire pudding equivalent and then we waited ages for puddings which were coolish again. Really disappointed on this occasion as we love meeting here.
