The Old Wheatsheaf in Enfield

We recently hired the garden & function room with catering service at The Old Wheatsheaf as our reception for our son’s christening, and we couldn’t be more pleased with their service. From the outset, communication was excellent. They took the time to understand our requirements and made every effort to accommodate our requests. Our celebration was one to remember & all our guests loved the venue. If you’re looking for a tidy, well maintained, intimate outdoor space with ample seating & outdoor heaters - this is the place! The staff were attentive and proactive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend The Old Wheatsheaf and their catering options for any special occasion!

The service here is friendly, but I must say on the three separate occasions I have attended the craft ales on tap have not been well kept. They always seem warm and on two of those occasions the ales had a cheesy after taste. I think it's because they're being kept a room temp, causing them to go off sooner. I hope management does investigate. Otherwise, it's generally a decent pub to go to.

this used to be a fav place to goto, recently spoilt by the best side of the lounge being closed off so the staff can have their dog in there!! lovely secluded beer garden, unfortunately the food is now poor where it used to be great, poor selection of drinks.

Really nice place for a quiet few pints indoors or in their well maintained garden. Food also very good. Could have a wider selection of ales - was only 2 the last time i was there.

Some parts of the pub were closed, there was no toilet paper, and the toilet was dirty and the seat was broken.😕 very disappointed 😔 The garden atmosphere was good.

Not a bad little pub. Around covid there was a decent renovation by Big Smoke Brewery with an interesting beer selection and a great, good value food menu. Last year, the pub was taken over by Punch, and the beer selection is now more prosaic but decent. We have since been for the (not cheap) sunday roast, and unfortunately it was quite poor. Also tea is expensive (£2.50 for a small cup) compared to other pubs in the area. I've always thought the astroturfing of the garden area was a shame - it would much nicer with grass.

Warm and welcoming, a good choice of beer, decent quality and big portions of food. Dog friendly, water provided without having to ask. Would recommend.

Whilst I'm very happy to see that this pub has changed hands and that you can now have a proper beer instead of those disgusting "fruju" concoctions (major YUK!) that the previous chain offered, there is still major issues. The fundamental problem exists. It's massively overpriced. People living in this area are normal people but this place is asking central London tourist prices. (Didn't try the food as that would undoubtly be my entire weekly budgets worth. I went to a cheaper place instead.) (Are there food? Previous chain could do only microwave..)

Great pub great times deffo take a look

Didn't try the food servers were a bit surly good atmosphere for the football

Shall but cosy very pleasant local pub.

Had 2 beef roasts, £17 each and so disappointing.

Last time I visited the pub had become a Big Smoke House. When my mates set me up a pint of London Pride as I arrived by train I realised that there had been a change. Great pint in this classic old style English pub. We'll be back!

I’m dying after a work night out, the barman (from Brum) let me in, served me a great pint of Guinness that flew down my neck. He then sorted me a shot of my choice after hearing that I had a 3 hour journey ahead of me. Excellent service the guy is an absolute ‘G’

I recently had the opportunity to visit a local pub for a Christmas dinner, and overall, it was a decent experience. One aspect that stood out to me was the incredibly helpful and friendly staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that all guests had a pleasant dining experience. From assisting with menu choices to promptly addressing any concerns, the staff truly made a positive impression. The pub also had a good selection of beers to choose from. Whether you prefer a classic pint or a more unique craft beer, there was something for everyone. The variety of options added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. One of the highlights of the pub was the affordable pricing. The room area where the Christmas dinner was held had a nice atmosphere and was reasonably priced. It was a great value for the quality of food and service provided. Additionally, the pub had a spacious and beautiful garden area. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a large outdoor space, especially during the holiday season. It provided a great opportunity to take a stroll and enjoy the fresh air. Speaking of the food, the Sunday roast served for the Christmas dinner was satisfactory. The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were acceptable. While it may not have been the most outstanding meal I've had, it was still enjoyable, and the staff ensured that everyone's dietary needs were accommodated. One minor drawback was that the room where the dinner was held was a bit cold. However, it was still within an acceptable range, and the presence of a big TV with Netflix and YouTube helped to keep the kids entertained. Overall, my experience at the pub for the Christmas dinner was not too bad. The helpful and friendly staff, good selection of beers, affordable pricing, and the presence of a big and nice garden area were definite highlights. While the food was satisfactory, the room temperature could have been improved. Nevertheless, it was still a pleasant evening spent with family and friends.

Contacted our favorite local pub for a last-minute Christmas gathering with 20 people, including kids. Remarkably accommodating, they swiftly arranged a festive setting, catering to both adults and children. The impromptu reservation turned out to be a fantastic holiday celebration – great service, ample space, and a joyful atmosphere. Highly recommended for spontaneous festivities! ❤️

Amazing members of staff food just perfect will definitely be going again. And recommending to family

Amazing place top notch customer service and food was amazing

We are so pleased that we decided to host our baptism reception at The Old Wheatsheaf. The decor of the pub is now stunning, the staff are friendly and attentive, the food delicious, the function room fantastic and we couldn’t have been happier with how smoothly things were run on the day by Duane and his team. We felt really listened to and supported and as a result we and our guests have nothing but great things to say and fantastic memories to look back on. Thank you so much!! We will be back and look forward to a Sunday roast soon - such a lovely vibe throughout the pub in general and a fantastic setting. (Chuffed with how flexible and accommodating the team were on the day too, as things never go militantly to plan but Duane and his team flexed accordingly).

We booked for lunch but no one advised us that they had a function so no food was served!

Group of four on a Thursday night and only ones in the pub section. Food was of poor quality and we had to send the fish back. No one finished their meals. Not sure what had happened but really gone down hill. Only a couple of tables full in the garden. Poor service and food quality. Sad as this used to be a wee gem of a place.

Lovely beer garden out the back of the pub

Had a cup of tea with a friend. Will go bk. Nice pub.

Brilliant service and some of the best fish and chips in all of Enfield. Great garden with toys to keep the dogs entertained. The inside is cosy, welcoming, and just has that great pub feel. Well worth making a visit to!

Surprisingly big garden for what looks like a small quaint pub from the outside. It was super busy on our visit and they could have done with more staff serving behind the bar, but at least the staff were friendly. Would go again.

Clean shiny sharp bar with super friendly staff!!

Great pub. Tasty and sweet food.

Good place. well service and friendly stuff.

Had a lovely visit. Staff were friendly, polite and quick for service. We sat out in the garden as weather good for it. Lovely wooden huts to die in or under the covered area for smokers. I liked the pub split into 2 sections so quiet area to have a pint and work. Defo returning.

Lovely pub, great food, nice staff.

Nice for a pint after work off the train

Coming from Enfield Chase station I came passed the front of the pub today 5:40pm 18th May 2023.The cellar doors were fully open on the pavement totally unguarded/unsigned and no sign of anyone about This is very dangerous as the doors extend over half of the pavement. It would be extremely dangerous for a blind person. Please guard the entrance when open at all times!

Went there for a family birthday party, lovely old London pub with a great outside area.

Very helpful young lady behind the bar

Independent pub good range of beer. Floorboards and wooden tables and chairs . Quiet , reading room atmosphere.Suits me!

Nice old pub, lots of character and great beer garden. Drinks, especially draught craft beers are a bit expensive for zone 5. I've been a couple of times since moving to the area. Staff friendly enough but ushered to drink up after last orders and wasn't exactly drinking at a snails pace last time I went. Don't serve people unless you allow at least 45 minutes to have your pint (which cost £6.80.!)

Great Burger Monday + tipple deal. Tasty burgers both chicken and beef options. Fab chips.

Nice pub with relatively cheap drinks but staff seriously need some allergen training. Bar staff and chef (?!) didn’t seem to know the definition of gluten. Fine if the pub can’t cater to coeliacs but the staff need to know that. Felt very unsafe eating there and singled out from my group

Ok Pub, decorated recently, not a good move. They have 20 or 30 beer, cider, whatever taps, but only one bitter!! Harveys which excellent. I met some mates there a few months ago; Harveys was off, no other bitters on, so had to drink cider. How the world of beer has changed, mango, strawberry flavoured beers but only one bitter!!

Lovely food , great staff and a really warm welcone for our family today in the Vault Room. Thank you for the great service

Great selection of beers. Good food and friendly staff

Buen pub para tomar algo,tiene también jardín exterior

Great food, great selection of beer (particularly real ale!)

Nice session pale ales / IPAa and still cider on tap and in bottles.

What a shame,this place has gone downhill whereas the prices have gone up.However it's not the prices that gets it two stars,the staff are unprofessional and wouldn't get a job in a good pub.They used to have a good selection of real ales,last night,none, unbelievable.Plenty of "trendy"keg beers,not my cup of tea.Shame this pub is well placed to attract people getting off the train,needs to be run by a professional,not amateurs.

Refurbished within last couple of years. Ok for pre drinks before a meal out, but seems to lack any atmosphere, although our visit was early in the evening, so it may have livened up later. Bar staff are polite and friendly.

Stopped here for a quick drink. Lively atmosphere, pleasant barman ,the ideal place....not too quiet, not too noisy.

It’s bigger inside when outside

Lovely function room separate from the pub but service was a bit slow due to the pub full with people watching the World Cup Final! The food was good but vegetables in the main course were hard especially the sprouts!!

Great staff and very very good food. Would recommend for a meal without hesitation

A real 'old style' cosy pub with excellent food and an individual range of beers.

Fantastic food!! Also staff are all very smiley and helpful. Huge beer garden with some areas well heated. Overall my new favourite pub in Enfield 👍

Great pub, really enjoyable venue.. quite like the idea of different draught wall.

My favorite craft beer in the city!

Good range of beers, the dirty fries are great

Lovely vibe, food and beer (delicious craft beer). But the best part about this pub is the beautiful Irish music every Sunday! Well worth checking out

Nice pub with pleasant outdoor garden. Nice staff and a good / small room for hire.

Nice pub, good outdoor space, service for drinks a bit slow, but really nice staff. Hopefully it will get an app or something to help them organise a little better, but that won't stop me going back, will just have to be patient 😊. Garden is covered fully like a big top, so great for those who feel more comfortable outside. App is back for table orders 👍

Lovely pub to dine at. The food menu was not big but filled with very interesting choices. Highly recommend to try.

Fotboll! :) många Arsenal fans på plats!

Excellent range of beers prompt service

Great pinsa here! Top location and great service!

Good Sunday dinner, Yorkshire was over cooked though

Came here from a private event. Staff were smiling and accommodating. Intimate little area at the back for private parties.

Told the food was great in here..was not all that

Visited today to watch the football. So pleased to have stumbled across this gem. Incredibly clean, great food & drink and staff are very welcoming.

Great place to eat very nice food. Would recommend for anyone in Enfield looking to eat out

I haven't been in years but returned on Saturday for drinks only. I have to say that the place looks lovely. The customers are much younger compared to previous years. The garden is great, plus I bet it'll be nice in the winter as they have loads of heaters! They have a very large selection of alcohol that is on tap, plus various spirits. The staff were super friendly and always tried to help. I didn't try the food, but it does look nice so I'll give it ago next time I'm down.

We went for lunch here and it was excellent. Had roast dinners which were a decent size and delicious. The puddings were yummy too. Lovely air con thankfully in the heat and the staff were very pleasant!

Setting up for party. The place was vkean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful

Standing here’s right now. 1 bar person 15 deep queue. People waiting 30 mins to get served. Ridiculous.

Best vegan roast dinner I've had so far and I've had alot of them around london. The only thing I would say is please try and make vegan Yorkshire puddings, it's not that hard and this would make it a 10/10 . Lets talk about dessert...there wasn't any.... Come on guys you cant pull that roast out the bag and not have a vegan dessert, not saying it has to be a chocolate brownie or cheesecake would settle for ice cream.

First time in there absolutely packed but the service was excellent waited no more than 15 minutes food was good pub grub burgers or pizzas I understand there may be other dishes the seating was amazing little cubicles . a very nice evening

Nice pub, only stopped for a couple, but the staff were friendly. New manager seemed to know what he was taking about and took the time to talk about the beers. Didn't eat, but the food looked good. Will definitely have a return visit.

Great selection of ales and keg beers

Lovely pub 2 minutes walk for Enfield Chase train station. Has a large outside patio. Serves lot's of cask and keg beers. On Monday's and Tuesdays all cask beers are 3 pounds a pint. Staff are welcoming with a good menu, l am told the pizza's are particularly good.

Great local pub, good good and fab garden and atmosphere. Special occasions Djs ay with an eclectic mix. Fabulous 😁

I've given it 4 stars because it is what it is. A decent pub with great smiley staff and a good selection of drinks. Having never been in an "old smoke" pub before so not knowing what ale to try, they were more than happy to give me a taster from every single ale so I could choose. The only reason I never gave 5 stars was the food side. It was an UTTER nightmare and the warning signs were there before we even ordered. Virtually every plate that came out to other tables was either wrong or went to the wrong table. There seemed to be no organisation whatsoever. You had to order what you wanted at the bar and give a table number, so how can you be taking it to the wrong table. The meat sharing platter for £21 wasn't very big. In fact I could quite have easily eaten it all myself. The salt and pepper squid wasn't cooked correctly as the coating was soggy and the squid very chewy. We neve got any plates..... Even though we asked for them so we're just picking off the sharing platter. Items were missing and had to be asked for. That being said, if you want a decent pub with a decent drink and atmosphere then give it a go. It should just stick to drink in my opinion or have a serious sort out in the kitchen.

Cracking pub right by Enfield Chase station. Lots of handpump real ales and craft beers on tap. Lovely garden area as well. Friendly staff, I had a great night there the other day, food was delicious too 👍🏻🍻

Nice pub, good ales. But the food was mediocre- we ordered Classic Burgers and they were burnt on one side and small- the bun outsized the burger by a lot. Small portion of fries, no salad garnish. Will go there for drinks again, but not food.

Great place for brew and friendly gatherings

Overpriced homeade beer, average food. £6.70 a pint. I asked for a pint of Tribute and was served a pint of porridge.

Noiseist pub I've ever been in.

Now my favourite pub in Enfield. We booked one of huts in the garden, which we fitted 6 of us in easily. Great choice of beers and guns, sun was shining and no queue at ghe bar. Was around a great evening. Will be back soon.

I think im going to upload the best picture for this pub! Look how many diferent colors and flavours in only one pict! Great pub to try diferent beers! Please before continue give me a like if this reviews is helpful to continue helping the community! I been there las beer festival! They do a good burgers and the drinks are perfect! If you are apasionante about siders, beer, or similar you need to visit the pub! The put music in live but I don't know if this is happen every weekend or not! The pub has a big garden to enjoy your drink whit a cigarette lisent live music! Definitely I recomend this pub! Only bad think is not has parking but always you can found some available parking in the street!

The place is cozy and pleasant. I lovely it.

Excellent beer selection and welcoming staff. Can't fault it.

went for lunch with my wife and two daughters easter monday .First we had the nachos to share which were really good then the rest of the food went rapidly downhill, my wife and daughter ordered margherita sourdough pizza's tomato, basil and buffalo mozarella flavour they were nothing like the description , no buffalo mozarella., no basil looked like any frozen cheese abd tomato pizzas , my fish and chips arrived the batter on the fish was very thick and raw inside like fish wrapped in a giant pancake , my youngest recieved mac and cheese instead of tomato and cheese pasta even though it was not on the menu got a refund for the fish and pasta if these pubs want to price food at restaurant prices fish was £17 then they need to employ chef's that know what they are doing!!!!!

Great pub and beer garden. Beautiful beer garden! The function room was small, however, very sweet and intimate! Carl the manager was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond to make our night great and special. George was brilliant too. Lovely pub and Staff.

£7 a pint, £5 shot, bad low music

Very nice pub, slightly out of the centre of town. Excellent selection of beers with friendly & knowledgeable staff - although a little expensive. Great live music on a Sunday evening.

GREAT separate function room for a small gathering :-)

Poor feel uncomfortable. Been living in Chase Side twenty years now. The last guy was better. The pub looks nice but felt unwelcome twice I been in there since it reopened

Adequate but not outstanding. Falls short on the food side but great selection of craft beers.

Amazing pub, friendly staff, and some great vegan options. Highly recommend!!

Nicely refurbished bar slash tap room. Has two sides and a lovely outdoor area-one of the best I’ve seen in a long while! Nice little booths and lots of heaters! It’s covered over at the moment as it’s winter and rainy. Must make it back in the summer and see what it’s like then-hopefully the canopy is down to let the sunshine in!
