Wheatsheaf Inn — Restaurant in England

My cousin & her family was visiting the Island for the week ... We decided to go out for lunch on the thursday ... I don't eat out very often as I am very allergic to certain foods ... In fact it was only 3rd time doing so in 5 years ... I told the barman when ordering our food that I was allergic to certain foods ... Our meals arrived all looked very nice ... 2 x Burgers & fries & 2 x Ham Egg & Chips ... My burger looked lovely ... No tomatoes to be seen ... That was apart from the burger sauce in the burger ... I asked the barman if it contains tomatoes ... He went to check with the chef & came straight back & informed me the sauce was made with tomatoes & told me not to eat it ... Luckerly I always check my meals before eatingan of it ... Because if I had eaten any of the burger they would have been calling an ambulance for me ... People don't seem to understand how dangerous it is to give someone something they are allergic too ... I always say you wouldn't give someone Peanuts if they were allergic to them ... I get the same answer everytime ... No of course not they always reply ... So why not take allergies seriously ... I always carry 2 injections with me everywhere I go just incase ... The Ham Egg & Chips I decided to have instead was very nice ... My cousin & her family all enjoyed their meals ... She reminded me the last time we had all eaten out too ... (A different pub) ... I had had an anaphylaxis attack with an ambulance being called ... She said how scary it was to watch someone going through anaphylaxis ... So please if someone says they are allergic to something please inform the kitchen ... Its not someone just being fussy ... Its someone who at the best just goes to A&E in an ambulance ... But at it's worse being taken straight to the morgue ... Please train all staff about allergies & how to inform the chef...

Well renowned locally for its great beer and cider options this pub is very under rated for its food. Chilli and coriander prawns were delicious. Proper size and flavour to match. Figs and prosciutto starter was excellent as were the tomatoes and Halloumi. The creamiest Halloumi ever from the Briddlesford dairy IOW according to my wife. Duck and sweet potato mash for £17 was excellent value and cooked perfectly pink. Large pan fried sea bass for £17 also compares really favourably with other restaurants. The best presented sweet potato curry my wife can remember on the island. If you consider the Wheatsheaf as a drinks only establishment then you’re definitely missing a trick. Strong recommendation and the sommelier also knows his wine. A Californian Cabernet Sauvignon which was new to me was a joy. A rethink over the established order of quality and value food in Yarmouth...

This pub and the staff are just brilliant. We (family of 5 all adults) were in a terrible rush to catch the 7pm ferry on Wednesday 10th September. We had 3/4 of an hour. The staff pulled out all the stops to serve us in their lovely restaurant with the most superb meals in time for us to catch our ferry. Sadly I have forgotten the wonderful young ladies name who helped us, but everyone was kind and efficient. The food was piping hot and delicious and the atmosphere excellent along with the beer and wine! A traditional English inn with a great atmosphere and superb food. We had fish and chips and burgers. THANK YOU to a brilliant team and great place to eat,...
