Had a blast at the open mike night here last night. A true display of talent was shared among music lovers. I'd never been to this pub before but this lovely old place has an authentic feel, lovely fireplace, and very friendly staff. I really enjoyed the eclectic mix of people. This place has captured that which is becoming lost in pubs all over Britain - giving local people what they want at a price they can afford. Can't wait to come back for more tunes. Thanks!

Having moved to Horsham recently, I'm in the process of trying out some new pubs in the area! Came upon The Wheatsheaf on this website and as we hadn't explored this side of Horsham, we took a chance. Very pleased we did! A sunny Sunday August afternoon in a lovely, small, historic pub in the beautiful Surrey/West Sussex countryside. Location perfect!

Five of us had a roast dinner which was excellent; I always judge a pub on its roast beef! The desserts were all very very good too. The only two areas that I found to be sub-standard were the toilet [not clean] and the garden [which could be executed so much better]. As all the patio tables were in the shade, we cobbled together a table and some chairs in the sunshine. Such a wonderful setting by a stream which could be made more seating friendly, especially on a sunny day! Overall, extremely impressed with this pub and will definitely be going back again.
