We visited the Wheatsheaf with 2 friends on Friday 7 November, prior to a visit to the Heron Theatre in Beetham. The welcome was warm as usual and service excellent. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal - 3 of us went for pie of the day and 1 for the cobb salad (always a favourite). There was a very positive comment on the ale as well! Looking forward to returning soon.

The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeFantastic food, well presented and served with a smile
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWent 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.

The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWhat 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!
