The Wheatsheaf — Restaurant in London

🚇 Stoke Newington 🍺 £5.00 Carlsberg ❤️ A superb backstreet traditional pub. . The Wheatsheaf is tucked away in a residential side street where Stoke Newington meets Stamford Hill. The nearest station is Stoke Newington which is just around the corner. . This pub was built in 1911 by Watney Combe Reid. This was originally a two bar pub with the public bar on the left and the saloon on the right. Like most pubs these days this is now a one bar pub. . This is a compact and cosy Irish pub with a central island servery at its core. The decor here is traditional, tasteful and has grey wall panelling and a mix of painted and wallpapered walls. Around the walls are paintings and prints which add a splash of colour to the neutral theme. There are a few screens dotted around the bar that show live sports, there is also a pool table and jukebox if you want to play some tunes. . The beer selection was a no nonsense line up that is popular with the regulars. I decided on a pint of Carlsberg, my pint was well kept and good value at a fiver. The pub doesn’t do food but there is every flavour of Tayto’s available if you need some sustenance. . We arrived late afternoon on St Patrick’s Day, the pub was packed and in full swing. The atmosphere was lively, upbeat and the pub had a lovely local feel to it. This boozer was kitted out for the day with flags, bunting and an Irish buffet for the everyone to enjoy. We were served by the Landlady who was busy making sure everyone was being served, lovely lady. Apart from the celebrations that day, the pub has live music throughout the month and as mentioned earlier shows live premiere league action. . I absolutely loved in here, prior to visiting I heard or read very little about this hidden gem’s existence. This traditional family run pub has that local pub vibe and a cosy feel to it. The welcome was great and the pump prices won’t break the bank. Get this one on your list folks. ☘️ . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 17.03.23

This pub is easy to miss when walking down stoke newington / high road. It's off the beaten path, on a side road. There are 2 different front doors and not much for windows (darker atmosphere). This pub boasts an horseshoe style layout that butts up to the front of the bar. So you walk in either the left or right side. And can walk around 3 sides of the bar. Where you reach the opposite front door.

There's a pool table. Covered smoking section. Reasonable priced. Very attentive yet friendly staff. One worth mentioning was Mariah. She maintained a calm professional manner, when being pressured on a busy Friday late night. The pub was already busy when our group walked in. But Mariah kept on top of things and made our Wheatsheaf Experience a night to remember. I'll be back again and I recommend you stop by...

The second time i have been to this pub and have to say the staff go above and beyond to make you welcome. They have a pool table, darts board, a designated smoking area, and tv showing sports. If you've never been to this pub before in Stoke Newington, you're definitely missing out on a traditional pub atmosphere, not like these new wine bar types. Prices are reasonable make sure you have cash as card payments are only made if your drinks order is over £10. Would recommend this pub for anyone visiting...
