The Wheatsheaf — Restaurant in Newark and Sherwood

The Wheatsheaf is THE success story of 2024! Having been left dormant since the previous landlady left, it reopened in spring 2024 lead by Emma and Kev. What they have done is nothing short of amazing!

The pub was good, having a decent number of regulars, however it is now one of THE places to be in Southwell for a great night out. With regular entertainment on Fridays and/ or Saturdays and regular pop up food nights usually on Friday or Saturday it is simply where most people end up.

The staff are great, the atmosphere welcoming and a selection of handpulled ales (usually a minimum of 3) plus the usual selection of lagers and Ciders.

It is also home to various local pub teams, including successful darts and dominoes teams, a quiz night, bingo night and sponsors local youth and sports teams, it is also a community hub that welcomes locals and visitors to the pub alike. So if you're out and about in Southwell, drop in, kick back, relax and enjoy the very best of what a British local pub can...

The Wheatsheaf isn’t just a pub — it’s the warm, beating heart of Southwell, and that’s down to Emma and Kev. They’re not just the faces behind the bar; they’re the soul of the venue. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re welcomed like an old friend, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

Emma’s warmth and attention to detail make everyone feel instantly at home, while Kev’s knowledge of a great pint (and an even better story) ensures the atmosphere is always spot on. Together, they’ve created something rare: a pub that’s as much about people as it is...

A friendly welcome from the locals and great beer is pretty much guaranteed here. One of those pubs where you can safely enjoy a beer or two without any hassle. Landlady was chatty and made the visit...
