Wheatsheaf Hotel — Restaurant in England

What a great stay. Landlady and barmaids were really nice and couldn’t do enough.

Hotel - Never slept in the hotel but I know it’s often booked out. Once you’ve been you can appreciate why - cheap and very cheerful.

Motorhomes and camper vans - Large level car park with plenty of room for 8 MHs / vans. Landlady doesn’t charge as long as you call ahead and / or pop in for a drink.

Pub - It’s a traditional JohnSmiths pub with big fire, big TV showing whatever the majority want, pool table (free), darts and real country old-pub feel about it. Landlady and barmaid were lovely to chat to and nothing was too much for them. They made us very welcome as did the locals. Lovely seats out front in the sun. Nice beer garden to the side and a families garden out the back with climbing frame, slide, swings and picnic tables. Kids loved it and asked to come back.

Food - When I read home cooked food, I think ‘yeah right!’ But this really is ‘home cooked’. 2 carnivores and 2 vegans are not easy to cater for. Before too long a hand written menu specifically designed for veggies and vegans came out of the kitchen. It took a while to arrive but when it did I could appreciate why - It was cooked from scratch. (See pictures) the portions were huge with everything steaming and freshly cooked.

Sausage and mash - The 5 Vegan sausages were like real sausages, the mash mountain it came with was soft and light. The cauliflower and carrots were fresh with sweet frozen peas. Gravy ship was delish too.

Leek Lattice was really tasty with big fat real hand chipped chips. Same veg and gravy. Onions rings were made there and then in front of us with real beer from the beer tap in they and tasted amazing.

Kids sausage and mash. Same as adult but with 3 real sausages a desert and drink for £5!

Kids chicken strips with mash and veg. 4 massive chicken pieces with the same delicious veg, a desert and drink for £5!

Kids deserts - They had a huge choice. Two big pieces of chocolate fudge cake with 2 big scoops of ice cream for one, and 4 big scoops of ice cream for the other. Both served with cherry drinks.

You could have rolled us out of the place we were that full. Kids had so much fun they had to be called in because they were playing. Barmaid gave the kids a hot chocolate drink before they left and a small bar of chocolate.

They are so friendly and we can’t fault the place at all.

Would I recommend - YES

Would I return - we are planning stay over again next month when we...

Good old fashioned pub with dinning area. Great vibe very welcoming even the punters look happy lol. Staff are the best both behind the bar and serving nothing is too much trouble fantastic down to earth landlady. Me and my wife went for Sunday dinner after seeing it on facebook. Quality of the meat was first class I chose lamb my wife had chicken and gammon (gammon was particularly delicious) mountains of veg and gravy all served from a wheel barrow lol the portions well generous is an understatement. Worth the money all day and all night. They only take cash which might catch some out. Wednesday evening is a carvery with free pudding but might have to take...

Just been 3 days ago. My cousin has always recommended this place and I have to say I was so impressed!! The food was lovely and the staff were so friendly. It is a lovely place to just go relax and have a drink and some food. It has that nice country feel and outside for when the sun is out. There was a big Marquee outside that day for an event/party for 150 people. So whether you are a small group just wanting a bite to eat, sunday lunch or looking to do a big event definitely check this place out!! Or a quick pint and a chat with locals you would feel comfortable...
