The Wheatsheaf in Lincoln

We visited for a Sunday lunch, travelling several miles from Grimsby. We have been before, and it was excellent. We chose a carvery although there was a full menu to choose from. The carvery was is really tasty and plentiful. My wife also chose a yummy white chocolate dessert to follow. The service was first class and very welcoming.the young staff were really chatty and polite. Although you can call in and take you're chance it's best to book. Ample car parking and easy to access.

Carvery. Meat good. Limited range of veg. Good value. Pleasant surroundings. Person with battered haddock. Fresh and large for price.

Since the change of management the Sunday carvery was very disappointing. The food was just warm, mash potatoes were dry, Yorkshire puddings were soggy and warmish. Meat was very nice but limited on portion size. Service was ok. However the position of the carvery service was terrible as it is in the way of staff trying to clear tables and enter the kitchen. Wouldn't rush back which is a shame as the pub is lovely!

Haven’t been here for a few years, as we had had a couple of bad meals, so stopping visiting. Noted the change of management etc, so thought would give it another try. Booked a table for 630 on a Saturday night, and the place wasn’t busy. Starters and mains came up quickly and were all hot, plentiful and tasty. Only quibble is the menu says chips, not the huge ‘wedges’ that were served. Appreciate these are probably made on-site, but would never describe them as chips. Fish was succulent and fellow diners said their gammons were very tasty. However when it came to desserts, this is when it all went wrong and it became a comedy of errors. Took our order, 1 treacle sponge and 2 roulades (1 with cream, 1 with ice-cream) and 1 latte coffee. Returned couple of minutes later to advise they had run out of treacle sponge. Offered the opportunity to order an alternative, but there wasn’t anything else fancied so we cancelled that dessert. Returned again 5 mins later to advise the coffee machine could not make lattes, so did we want to change the order – this was changed to a cappuccino. Returned again 5 mins later to advise the machine couldn’t make cappuccino but they could make a de-caf in the kitchen. This was declined and no replacement ordered. Returned yet again 5 mins later to advise they had no vanilla ice-cream, so did we want cream on that roulade – we agreed. After an additional 15 mins of waiting, we chased up on our desserts, and were advised they wouldn’t be long, and apologies were offered with the reason the kitchen was very busy. We looked around the restaurant – it wasn’t even half full, with only 4 tables appearing to be occupied (which included us). After another 5 mins we asked if the desserts had even been started, because if not, we were cancelling. They hadn’t, so we cancelled the order and asked for the bill. This then had to be returned as we were still being charged for all three desserts and the coffee. So after a promising start, we were left frustrated with the chaos over coffee and desserts. It is such a shame, but we have agreed it would take a lot to tempt us back again.

Very pleasant updated place, we went for 6.30pm meal and chose the £7.95 carvery. Very disappointing to be honest! There were 2 meat choices, but we were challenged when we asked for a slice of each, the chef said he wasn't supposed to offer this??? Unbelievable!!! What difference does it make to their profits? Never come across this before...ever! And to make it worse, the teeny weeny (3"×3")slice of beef was impossibly tough. The accompaniments were very sad and tired, yorkshire puddings were like soggy cardboard and had to be torn apart as the knife couldn't handle it, I had to spit the roast potatoes out in the end because no amount of chewing was working. The veggies were barely cooked and much too crisp for my liking and the gravy, although quite tasty, was so runny, it puddled at the bottom of our plates! The chef admitted that all the lids were keeping the food from view because "it had been a bit of a day" presumably meaning he was trying to keep it warm! (Exactly for just how long, he didn't say) I had to leave most of my meal, and didn't feel at all satisfied! I went for the chocolate peanut butter stack for dessert which was actually very good! If we went back at all, it would be to order from the menu, and definitely avoid the carvery!

Shame not to be serving food at 4pm on a Friday. Actually glad they didn’t, as the place was awful - loud music and no atmosphere - and we found an amazing place just down the road at Redborne!

Excellent food, great atmosphere, very clean, reasonable prices, any questions was answered, service was always with a smile, great little village pub. Hibaldstow your so lucky to have such a great place on your doorstep x

Amazing food. Really lovely. Attentive staff. Great experience and recommended. And they have Neck Oil too - what's not to like.

Very friendly staff , felt like being in someone’s house. Food excellent and well priced . Very relaxed atmosphere and good music

Not the greatest table directly by the carvery service and i didnt get the drink i asked for, in spite of this, the staff were friendly, the cavery service was plentiful and delicious and the price was extremely good. I would definitely go again.

Been here twice now for food - the first time was a Sunday roast and it was divine, everything tasted homecooked and so much better than other carveries I've been to. However the staff were sometimes questionable in their decision making etc, and it came...

We were looking for somewhere for lunch off the A15 on our way to Bridlington and found the wheatsheaf - We had the best steak and ale pie I have ever had succulent chunks of gender beef in a rich gravy with perfectly cooked vegetables...

What a lovely pub. The staff are really friendly and cheerful. My son and I called in for lunch while we were waiting for our skydiving slit. The food is excellent and great value for money. We will definitely come again. We recommend calling in....

Visited for lunch with my wife and father-in-law. Found The Wheatsheaf to be well kept, clean and with appropriate COVID precautions in place and obvious. Good and varied menu offered at reasonable prices. The quality of the food was excellent and portions generous. Excellent desserts...

Lovely Sunday carvery - really good quality meat and a great meal all round, with really friendly staff too. Our first time back at the Wheatsheaf for some time - ill definitely be back soon.

Excellent choice of food and well presented. Waitress friendly. We managed to pick quiz night and will return again to take part.

The food quite frankly is very poor, the service slow not attentive. Despite walking in with kids we had to ask for kiddies menu. No colouring or any activity for children. Will not visit again.

Just back from an amazing meal tonight at the Wheatsheaf. Staff were attentive, portion size was generous, menu very extensive. Good prices, fab food, covid rules adhered to but didnt feel stuffy.

We were staying in our camper vans a few miles up the road and decided to stop here for a drink, very friendly staff and owner, sat outside due to restrictions still in place down to Covid 19 and the lady who served us was...

Another fantastic meal delivered when promised. The food is fantastic and the staff cater for many dietary requirements. We definitely recommend and can not wait until post Covid to visit the pub in person!

We have just had a Valentine's meal. This was delivered on time, hot and looking good. The food was excellent and good value for money. Thanks to all the team at The Wheatsheaf.

Had a fantastic meal here, food was amazing. Staff were fantastic and very helpful. Great with picky eaters. Will definitely be going back. Covid safe

We have visited tonight (a Thursday) and enjoyed a fabulous meal followed by quiz night. The staff and Landlord were brilliant, attentive but not pestering. We will DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!

First time eating out in these difficult times. What a lovely place to eat great food and lovely friendly staff.

Lovely place with good Covid processes in place. Tables suitably distanced and one way walking system, all explained on arrival. Not a massive choice on menus but its not one of your chain pub restaurants and the food was good quality and freshly made to...

Was recommended to eat at this place under new owners , well worse meal I have ever had waitress service was appalling could not even get drink order right food was cold not what it says on menu . And waited 1 hour for meal...

Thank you David and the lovely team at The Wheatsheaf for an excellent meal today. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals.....3 specials (2 venison & 1 trout) and a mixed grill, followed by delicious desserts. Could not fault the food or service. I'm sure we...

This pub is excellent. Friendly staff and food was delicious. Nice atmosphere, clean and well decorated.

Oh wow what a wonderful meal. The flavours were amazing especially the chips & onion rings! I had steak & ale pie really tender & super tasty. It was well worth the wait , would definitely recommend to all. A gastronomic 10/10

No face screens worn by staff- Seems to be the new 1.5mt ruling. Busy place. Husband ordered an ale pie which was lovely. I Ordered rib eye steak medium rare at £15, this is not what I received! Instead, a well done thin steak. They stated there usual butcher did not deliver. They offered a free desert to compensate. Personally, I would have preferred what I ordered.

Fantastic meal off a new menu, the publishers now table service only because of the Covid 19 controls. These controls have been well implemented and managed. We shall return soon . On top of that the place looks superb, well done to the Whole team...

Just refurbished but had to close its doors due to Covid-19. I’m looking forward to visiting when reopened. Offering delivery service whilst closed which we have had twice now. Not a large menu but has the main staples with some daily specials. So far very...

This is our first family meal since the Wheatsheaf changed hands. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and were made extremely welcome by Dave the landlord, his family and his staff. I really recommend you give this place a try.

We are very pleased to people are enjoying their meals and atmosphere since we have taken over the wheatsheaf.... It's a pleasure being here. If there is any special requirements then please don't hesitate to contact us and we will try and accommodate you.Best regards Dave and Maggie

Wow, live in the village and normally go to the local wetherspoons in brigg, but thought we'd give our local a go. What can I say, amazing, fantastic bar staff, very friendly and helpful, took a table and ordered our food.We were informed that there would be a bit of a wait, because a big table had just ordered before us, no problem, we were told.Not to long later the food arrived, and we were not disappointed, my partner had lasagne (home made) with chips, and I had the 16oz rib eye steak. Omg by, both meals were outstanding.!! The steak just fell apart, the chips were so crisp and fluffy, the lasagne was amazing aswell.Will definitely be eating there again, compliments to the chef and his kitchen assistants.

We visited here tonight for a birthday meal and were not disappointed. The welcome was warm and the service prompt and very friendly. But the best bit was most definitely the food. Home cooked, fresh to order and absolutely delicious. Nothing was too much trouble. Smaller portions were available for our elderly relative and from the menu there are a variety of dietary needs catered for.I will most definitely be a regular diner to sample more of the menus delights.

We couldn't fault the wheat sheaf hotel the rooms were exelant and Dave and his wife were exelant hosts could not of hoped for anything better would recommend it to anyone and the food was second to none we hope to return there next year if possible

We had the privilege of being the first people to have the Sunday carvery since the pub recently changed hands (for the better, I must add!).There are three options of plate size at different prices. Small, regular and large.Three choices of meat which on the first day was beef, pork and turkey. I had beef and pork and my son had beef and turkey. All were juicy and tender.Vegetable choice was extensive. Roast and mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, cabbage and cauliflower cheese. The latter was delicious. Gravy, mustard and apple sauce were available too.The only suggestion I would make is that another Bain Marie be acquired and the vegetables kept separately to the meat service. When really busy, there will be delay while diners get their vegetables from in front of the meat server.Overall, excellent start. Well done Dave and Maggie. We will be back soon.

The Wheatsheaf has changed hands recently and is enjoying a resurgence in popularity. Having been in with friends and family it is very enjoyable. We have yet to try the new menu but we've sat next to other that have and they were very complimentary and the food looked appetising, so we will try it. It is very nice to be welcomed in to this fantastic village pub!

Lovely place for food and beer and atmosphere if you're In the area ,only didn't get a 5 mark as no Guinness at time of visit but Smiths was well kept ,invited into quiz night too. Definitely recommended

All I can say is the landlord is a joke he shouldn't be aloud in a pub never mind run a pub we called in at 10:35 with friends and he gave us a rude glare and checked his watch my friend asked him why are you checking your watch he didn't reply never once was there a welcome word from him or the landlady they are so very rude ,his face puts me off even going into my local pub and most of the village feels the same.

Great local pub and carvery - flavoursome and plentiful meal. Friendly and welcoming staff. We will be back!

Called in for lunch yesterday there was 4 of us we sat had a beer while we decided what we was going to order Val & Richard were very helpful we all ordered a different meal and none of us was disappointed the seafood platter the hunters chicken jumbo haddock & scampi where as good as anywhere we have eaten we all would highly recommend the Wheatsheaf for its food and not to mention the real ale on tap we will be return

Last minute visit as a couple - Met after work and were greeted by the friendly staff. The lady who dealt with us was fantastic and we could not fault at all. We only had a sharing platter to eat and it was ok as far as starters go. I would definitely visit again and try more food off the menu.

Came for a wedding reception, food was great and well presented by the staff, the rooms we had were clean and tidy and everything explained by the manager as the rooms. It was a great friendly evening, and the room was great value. I would book again if visiting the area again, good selection of cask ales on as well.

Whether you want a quiet pint, good food or a boogie to a live band, the Wheatsheaf has something for everyone. Nothing is too much trouble for Val and Richard.

Both, my husband and I had a lamb Sunday lunch. Really generous portions of meat and vegetables. The vegetables were very fresh and the not frozen substitutes like a lot of pubs. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Thank you.

This newly-decorated pub has charming and helpful staff. The restaurant was empty on a Saturday evening (apart from us). Why oh why??? The food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced.

Nos quedamos muy tarde debido a un retraso con la caída libre pero nos acogieron y dijeron que había suficiente de la izquierda para el 5 asados de nosotros! Nos alegramos de que comimos allí, la comida y el servicio era excelente! También disfrutamos charlando con Jack el parrotsin duda volver

Acabamos de regresar al Hotel Wheatsheaf después de un tiempo de distancia. La nueva gestión de Richard y Val son maravillosos. Una leve espera valió la pena para las comidas del recién preparado que val eran las mejores comidas que he disfrutado en cualquier lugar. Nuestra comida sea entrantes y preciosa casa hizo sopa eran de primera clase. Nuestro vegetariano estaba muy contento con su elección de comida principal como el resto de nuestro grupo con Val de casero torta de carne que era fabuloso. La medida de un restaurante es si volver y sin duda lo hará.Gracias Richard y Val. . Y nos encantó Jack el loro!

Enjoyed this place and enjoyed the talking parrot even more. A safe choice for refreshments when visiting Hibaldstow.

16 de nosotros de la Viking Ramblers tenía un asador aquí el domingo (no antes de reservar! ) y era preciosa.Estábamos todos sentados juntos y nos invitaron a un asado de almuerzo caliente y muy sabroso. Había carne o Turquía con un yorky pud y una selección abundante de verduras, patatas y salsas, todo a un precio muy razonable.El propietario y el personal era muy amable, muy acogedor y el servicio y la conversación llegó con una sonrisa.Hay una sala de juegos y un bar más pequeño a un lado. Luego un plan más abierto el comedor más grande y zona de estar con un cómodo sofá junto a la chimenea (un lugar de bienvenida después de nuestras 3 hr bimble en el campo de los alrededores). Mucho espacio para todos nosotros a disfrutar de nuestras bebidas antes y después de la cena.Que no tienen manera de salir muy a menudo pero, sin duda, recomendaría una visita.Muchas gracias a todos.
