I visited recently after hearing it was under new management. I found the atmosphere pleasing and the food excellent. You really should try the steak!

While I agree with the other comments, the Wheatsheaf has now been taken over with new management. We went in again in July of this year and the pub had a varied and reasonably priced menu and the management were a lot more friendly and accommodating.

Check food before you start eating, I wish we had. They served us mouldy bread!

We visited for a Sunday lunch with our toddler son. The landlady was charming and offered us a small roast for our son, which is great as we're not into giving him chicken nuggets. At the end of our meal, our little boy started playing with one of his toys and we were asked by the landlord to keep it down - there were incidentally no customers anywhere near us, and I would have thought that a toy is preferable to having noisy children or toddlers having a tantrum? Sorry, but although the food was ok, and the landlady was nice, we won't be going back. We take our son for lunch in a variety of places and have never been made to feel so rubbish.

Our experience was appalling. A single member of staff kept us and others waiting 50 mins for a simple roast whilst the manager sipped wine behind the bar and appeared only when my wife offered to help wait tables. Used to be a cracking pub but they served us expensive, cold food that I will of course not bother to venture to sample again.
