The Wheatsheaf Inn — Restaurant in Wirral

What a disappointing visit to this establishment today, we have been there before and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, however today was very different, we had my 18month old granddaughter with us who was making noise, but as any parent will know how difficult it is to try and keep a little one totally silent is not easy. We were basically told by a very rude family that they will give us some parenting advice, how dare they!!! But what was disappointing was the establishment agreed with them and said the little one was too loud, this family also insulted us numerous times and nothing was said to them. We asked when we booked about the little one and told them about her age and they were happy then, there were also kids screaming and making noise in the other room but that was okay. Basically if you are not wanting a baby to make a noise then don't accept them in the restaurant, this way it will stop situations like this and inevitably upset to a young mum who had to listen to the insults. If you have small children I wouldn't bother with this place, they shown us...

Visited last night. First impressions were great. Lovely cottage style pub and beautiful restaurant setting. It wasn't very busy which was surprising but it's Jan and a long month for many.

Service was funny, engaging and friendly from everyone who attended the table. Happy to give honest recommendations and absolutely made us feel part of the place.

Starters were varied and interesting. Highly recommend the Duck Hash Cakes.

Main courses again, varied & interesting, with a separate specials menu. I chose the steak which was exceptionally cooked but I must confess to regretting not ordering the Pork Medallions that looked (and tasted) absolutely exceptional.

Desserts were fun, tasty and presented like everything else... with genuine care, attention & class.

Can't wait to visit again and happy to recommend. Costs were very reasonable and while the service charge is optional, I wish we'd brought along some cash to hand over to add to it as we were...

Although we don't come here often as we live in Liverpool, we always enjoy our visits. Today was no exception, despite being stung by a wasp! Service is always warm, friendly, and helpful. Lots of wonderful "proper" beers to chose from including some very local small breweries. Vast selection of small batch gins to choose from too. Food is proper pub grub, but with great attention to detail. Local produce, done well. Their Cowshed sharing platter, including home made warm Scotch Eggs, and Pork Crackling, with wonderful pickles and chutneys, is really good value, and a meal in itself.....we know this, because we also ordered excellent toasted sandwiches, which we were too full to finish! Be prepared for a sound track straight out of The Archers if you sit outside, and also dogs. This is a very dog friendly pub, which even though we have cats, we always think is a plus point for any pub. Takes a bit of finding if you don't know where it is, but...
