The Wheatsheaf in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Dealt with the most horrible man at this pub. I arrived to meet some friends for lunch. I had my baby in a pram. I barely got in the door. The staff member gave me a look that made me feel very unwelcome. He then told me I wasn’t allowed to the dining area with my pram. He gave me the option of 2 high tables with high backless stools. Clearly these weren’t suitable for eating with a baby in my arms. I felt they didn’t want me there and this was his way of kicking me out without formally asking me to leave. When I told the staff member I felt he was being rude and discriminating against women with children I was met with a prickly attitude. He sqid all the “right things” but in a rude almost mocking manner. He grabbed a low back chair and flung it my way , this didn’t seem like a genuine helpful gesture. How was I going to sit and eat lunch at a high table with a low chair? He also barked that he was busy dealing with customers in a way that implied I wasn’t a customer but me and my 5 work colleagues were intending on ordering food and a drink. I didn’t make it as far as the dining area to see if the pram would actually fit or not but I am a reasonable person, obviously I wouldn’t have sat anywhere where I would have blocked staff or restricted other customers. The pub was practically empty at the time, I suspect there was space. I wasn’t planning on staying longer than 45mins as I was meeting some friends on their lunch breaks from work. I doubt there was going to be a mad rush in that time, it was a Tuesday and the pub was dead. Also prams fold down, the baby was going to be in my arms durning the meal anyway. There was definitely space to park the pram neatly in a corner and not affect anyone as it was so quiet at the time. I could understand if it was a busier day like a Thursday or Friday but not on the day in question. You have a right to not welcome women with children in your establishment but this should be made clear with signage on your fort and I for on your website. I wouldn’t be so angry about the situation if the staff member had dealt with the issue in a more polite respectful manner.

This is where Dylan Thomas met Caitlin. They were introduced by Augustus John. It is where George Stafford met Mabel, and where I met my own future wife in 1969. Back then if you asked for food it was 'Salt and vinegar or plain', dear. Things are a bit different now, with a hearty pub menu, some very fine ales and wines, and friendly and efficient staff. Very little has been lost of the 1920s and '30s interior, so do pay it a visit and imagine the ghosts of London's inter-war Bohemians crowding around the bar.

Visited after a disappointing experience at another pub nearby. A good atmosphere and very efficient bar staff. Had a couple of drinks and enjoyed a pleasant hour. A good traditional London pub with a nice mixed clientele.

Relatively young pub with interesting literary history from Julian Maclaren-Ross and Dylan Thomas. The bar is small and so is the back room, but it is quite cozy with a wallpaper straight from your grandmother’s house. Nice service. They pour a good Guinness. Quality pub.

Only popped in to kill some time and decided on dessert... ended up with one of the best Sticky Toffee Puddings I've ever had. Practically melted in my mouth. The super nice staff was just a bonus.

I pop into The Wheatsheaf quite regularly, for both drinks and food. The service is always fantastic and the pie selection on the food menu is excellent.

Great location wasn't too busy for a Thursday night. Bar staff pleasant, atmosphere good. Cosy setting

Visited Thursday night, small traditional London pub. Service good and good choice of beers, well priced.

Nous avons été happé dans ce pub , une déco du siecle dernier, un super Fish and chip Nous nous sommes senties bien dans ce lieu que nous recommandons !!

Went for a few drinks early evening before going on to a restaurant for a meal. I really enjoyed the pub as the welcome was nice and the beers were very good . Nice selection of beers. I was happy that the place was quiet with enough seating as I could relax.The pub has a small area down stairs and expect it is standing room only when busy. I really enjoyed the visit

Visiting home, I wanted to take my wife to a typically old school London pub. It certainly ticks all of the boxes for everything someone from outside the UK would want to see in a London pub. The interior, the decor, the furniture and the drinks on offer are almost a tip of the hat to those seeking an authentic London pub experience. Beautifully preserved, friendly and welcoming service and reasonably priced ale.

Dîner dans un pub typique avec du personnel très agréable une déco comme on les aime cuir bois et tapisserie d’un autre temps. Les pies et le fish and ship sont très bons. Tout ça entourés de locaux. Un plaisir.

We were 10 people we book and sent out menu choices , but the staff seem to be confused with the orders . It was a bit uncomfortable as some of the group had to wait for there food. Otherwise good place to eat food was good , not as warm as I would have liked service was a bit slow . Perhaps because it was busy . On the whole nice pub and good food . You'll probably get better service when they are not so busy.

A deux pas de la folie marchande d'Oxford Street, cet endroit permet de retrouver une atmosphère british avec des plats typiques des pubs.

Good solid pubby-type pub Orwell associations add to the fun (he really did drink there!) Class pub decor

Popped in here for a sharpener before going to Pisqu next door (see seperate review). One of those great old London pubs with original features unspoilt by the trends of modernisation. Good pint of Doom Bar (never fails) and plenty of space notwithstanding the time 6.00pm and proximity to bustle of Oxford Street. Indeed a pleasant surprise to find somewhere not rammed so close to tourist central. Well worth a slight detour to.

Love the vegan and vegetarian burger! The only thing it missed was a bit of more lettuce... but still super tasty! Huge bowl of chips for the price! Liked it! It's a small cozy little pub perfect for a quiet lunch!

Close to Oxford Street lies this little (well actually quite big) gem, away from people and with a delicious fish'n'chips.

We stopped in while walking around Soho. The staff were very friendly and the vibe is exactly what I was wanting to find here in London. Local English drinks with proper food! Small menu bit very affordable and fresh!

I just moved to this area, and was checking out nice little locals in the area. This one was really cosy and I've been a few times now. Friendly staff, lovely Landlord and great pint of Guinness!

Hyggelig pub med rimelige priser. Den er ikke overrendt på trods af den centrale placering. Vi kommer gerne igen.

Yo solía trabajar a unas puertas del trigos en los años ochenta y tenía recuerdos muy gratos de este pequeño pub tradicional en la parte superior de Rathbone.

Pub molto grazioso e gradevolmente arredato: la scelta di birre non è immensa, ma il cibo è ottimo ed economico (pie a £8) e l'ambiente è tranquillo e rilassante. Un po' lento il servizio.

Un pub de la vieja escuela, con precios razonables y un personal amable. Me encanta la parte de arriba o intermedias en el comedor. El pub tenía mucha historia con poetas y escritores que solía venir aquí como dylan thomas y George Orwell.

First visitTraditional pub with good selection of drinksLimited but good food menuUpstairs is a lovely smaller barRecommended

Visited on a quiet evening, probably a lot busier on Fridays.Traditional, very comfortable and with good mulled wine.

Not onlt the food but the whole product offering at this restaurant was excellent. All reasonably priced for this part of town. i recommend this place.
