The Wheatsheaf in North East Lincolnshire

Review updated as of 2025 Food was nice, but not cheap unless you have a good offer on the app. The service was brilliant, with really friendly staff.

Friendly staff, good service, delicious food! I recommend this place for dinner or good time with family or friends! 👍

Sunday lunch was great value and menu was good manger Daniel was so helpful

Haven't visited The Wheatsheaf since the refurbishment and we were very impressed the staff were very welcoming and friendly and couldn't help enough to cater for my husband's meal due to his food allergy. We feel that since the refurb The Wheatsheaf offers a more warm & relaxed atmosphere and we will definitely be visiting again in the near future. Highly recommend

We waited three quarters of an hour for our food which was very disapointing. I ordered fish and chips , about ten chips on the plate, the fish was half the size of what i expected for the price and although tasted nice looked anemic . My partner had a burger with minimal chips and a strange kind of sauce and simething that resembled rocket. How disapointing will not be returning to eat here. The waiting staff dis interested in making it a nice dining experience.

Food was nice tonight, the service very good with the food coming out within only half an hour. But service at the bar dreadfully slow all staff lovely and polite but they are extremely extremely slow. 20min wait to order a beer although it isn't 20mins every time but stil painstakingly slow

My favourite manager is Danielle as she’s nice and friendly to all the work colleagues

From start to finish the experience was appalling. They got all our food orders wrong, and one meal came out after two of us had nearly finished our meals. Even the fries were cold. Needless to say I won’t be returning and will advise others to stay well clear. When told of the mistakes we were fobbed off with “ I will let the kitchen know “….not acceptable

It was busy as it was Christmas Day. At £72 per head the overall day was probably more worth £62. Warm food, last course being served before previous course cleared, one pudding cold and needed to be replaced then brought to table with out a spoon. More drinks could have been drank but delay on table service. It was not bad or appalling at all just not quite worth the cost. Was also far too cramped with the other tables so backs of chairs touching with little room to manoeuvre. Small achievable changes could have made this better.

Ate here for the first time in many years in early December. Food quality was great, staff were very attentive and there was a lovely atmosphere. Very clean too. All round great experience and would recommend

Lovey food, surroundings and the staff were friendly enough but the service felt disjointed. Once delays were point out the staff did eventually sort things out.

We experienced some initial issues with our booking, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Although it wasn’t ideal at first, they were incredibly apologetic and worked hard to resolve everything. Jess stepped in and ensured the evening turned out to be lovely. Thanks to the exceptional effort from your team, we’ll definitely be returning!

Boasting new decor after a recent renovation this quaint boozer hits all marks for homely comfort. With roaring fires and a new special value menu its worth a visit.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was excellent too. Overall a wonderful experience and the whole party of 10 of us agreed we would be coming back x

Went with my son for breakfast. We ordered by the app and waited about 30 minutes although it wasn't busy. The waitress originally brought us the wrong breakfast, which could have been the apps fault. However when we did get our food it was very poor with black bits all over the bacon and sausages. The plate wasn't warm which made the food cold.

Waited for food to come out , only one coffee to serve all

All the food was lovely and good service

We came for the Freddie Mercury tribute night and 3 course Xmas meal. The food was amazing, service excellent and the entertainment fabulous

food was great, harry served me. he was friendly and pleasant. would recommend

Visited for tea food was very nice good value for money . Was served by Harry coley who was very polite and gave brilliant customer service . Definitely be going back

Friendly atmosphere and staff. Good food and reasonable prices

got served last thursday by a lovely gentleman named harry coley. so welcoming and friendly.our service was spectacular. received our food quickly and was delicious.

i came for tea on thursday and the food was amazing. the service from harry coley was perfect, highly recommend

Went to wheatsheaf on Thursday for our tea very nice enjoyed it at bargate service was very good served by a lovely young man called Harry very palight and well manade

Service at the bar was great, friendly, and efficient. Unfortunately, it took about an hour for food to arrive, which was cold. The chicken burger was very tough, and the ham in my cheese and ham melt was chewie. Ordered a side of cajun fries that didn't arrive. When I asked for them, they sent plain fries instead.

Due to a little miscommunication (nobody's fault) we were offered a meal and thoroughly enjoyed it. Steak was cooked perfectly. We now need to go and try the new menu. Can't fault anything at all 👌

Brilliant pub danii and her team doing a great job

Used the function room after football, put food on for us. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Thanks to the staff.

Friendly staff. We went on a busy evening. We were informed of a 45min wait for food. It turned into 90min wait. There were a lot of people around us complaining. The staff were very nice and apologetic. There definitely wasn't enough staff serving to cope with the amount of customers. Food was average. I would definitely try there again and hopefully it wouldn't be as busy.

Don't like to give bad feedback, but the order was wrong. The food was cold, and they did not tell us all the eggs are scrambled, not fried

Pleasant stop here for a bit of lunch.

Food was great service very good you must try the open steak baguette

I am always happy when I pop to the Wheatsheaf the food is good and especially love the new dessert creme brulee, the staff are always so attentive and nothing is too much trouble.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Wheatsheaf. we tried the new menu and we weren't disappointed. Service was efficient. Drinks are reasonably priced too. The staff were great and attentive nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely be back again.

There was some confusion about my order, ended up waiting a considerable amount of time after asking 3 times when the food was coming. Food was OK when it eventually arrived.

Nice place . Very busy. Standard pub grub at good prices. Drinks not bad eather.

Lovely visit to the whetsheaf, staff always so friendly. Only had a drink on this occasion, but service was great

Great food again. Had to try the new menu and I have to say it's delicious. The shedded chicken starter is amazing and the new beef rib on mac and cheese wow

Took my daughter for breakfast with Wednesday and had a lovely time there! My daughter loved seeing Wednesday!Staff were absolutely amazing took us to the table and were really helpful and made us feel welcome! Food was served hot and tasted lovely xx would definitely recommended xx will be visit soon xx

Great service, felt really comfortable here. The staff were very friendly and had no issue with them at all. Great funn.

Awesome , Beth is lovely and gives a great service , George gives great help and what a nice guy. I love it there and a great place to take the kids

We went for the breakfast with Wednesday event they had on, we ended up with extra people and they were really accommodating and lovely about this. The event was really good and all the staff were lovely. Food was amazing and came really quickly

I would recommend the Wheatsheaf. Good atmosphere. Reasonably priced food.

Great service , freindly staff singer was good atmosphere brilliant . Had a great night with freinds cant wait to come back

Came for the breakfast with jack and sally...complete waste of money! Jack and sally came out for 10mins had photos did one song then went...£10 for 2 small sausages 1 hash brown and some beans! No interaction from the staff! Really disappointed

We came for the Jack & Sally Halloween breakfast. It was absolutely fantastic and such good value. Children really enjoyed it.

Great staff, great food, very warm and welcoming

My server Chloe was delightful!! nothing was too much for her and she completed things i asked for like sauces etc. It was wonderful to have a waitress like her, her service was 10/10 always nice to have a welcoming smile with her bubbly personality.

Staff brilliant, helpful and friendly, love the atmosphere 😀 would recommend trying it out !

Our first meal, and last. Couldn't get vegetarian options I wanted cos they had run out. Overpriced for the portions. Our waitress had perfected the art of throwing plates at us. It's a place for kids cos they don't know any better yet. Back to Wetherspoons!!!

It is very clear that management here is clearly not good enough , i came in today and could see that the only bar staff on the front bar looked very uncomfortable as she was left on her own on there for multiple hours with no sort of help apart from the odd time the manager on shift would come and serve 1 or 2 customers before disappearing again, the manager had a very unapproachable face and times i have come in previously i have seen another one of the managers sat contempt on her laptop while the floor and bar staff are struggling, as for the food a young girl named Chloe brought it out, she was very helpful and polite and the food was brilliant, i will unfortunately not be returning as the management here seems very unprofessional.

We go with a couple of friends for a meal occasionally. The food is always good , the service is good also. It's a nice place to relax at a reasonable cost.

Once again the service and food was excellent and with a 40% off main meals offer made it good value for the money.

Just enjoyed a delicious lunch ( Rainbow Lasagne ) very nice atmosphere and excellent customer service. Dog friendly too!

Really gone downhill. Simply can’t cook a steak. Ordered medium, come out well over well done, really dry and chewy. Not ideal for a £20.49 mixed grill. Told the waiter, and he offered a free drink but no replacement for the 8oz steak. Said he’d have a word with the kitchen. Heard nothing back for ages, so asked another member of staff if he’d heard off the kitchen. Spent 20 minutes waiting still not heard anything so left without a sorry or a refund. Definitely won’t be returning

Very good food at a reasonable price.

Good place for a family meet up

Scampi and chips, very basic pub grub. Frozen chips that were very dry.

Absolutely brilliant, lovely meal with the family , staff was amazing and went above and beyond for my pregnant partner with a mocktail, there ultimate burger was and looked amazing , definitely be back for more and all the best for the staff , 10/10 for service!.

Cocktails and drinks are reasonably priced its always a lovely time here in town in the Wheatsheaf. There is a brilliant menu and a relaxed atmosphere and cosy surroundings. The barstaff are wonderful and the food is perfectly cooked. 🥰 plenty of parking space and outside areas to enjoy too. A well looked after venue all round.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Had a great birthday party here.

Not a terrible place or experience, food good, friendly staff and place well maintained.

I ordered the macaroni cheese as a main, it really was delicious, with crispy onion pieces on top. Yummy. I then had the chocolate orange pudding with ice cream and this was also delicious. My son had fish and chips and he wolfed it all down.

Came in for Sunday lunch 22nd Sept 2024 ordered 2 x duo, s chicken and gammon. Gammon was very poor looked like a slice of bacon. asked them to change my meat for beef, which they did even though one of the server said I could only have extra chicken because beef was more expensive (50p).also not enough gravy asked for them too bring some more, which they did our server lucas was nice and polite. Enjoyed the beef and Yorkshire pudding roasties where frozen variety and overcooked and few where edible. and the frozen veg of cabbage, peas and leeks where undercooked. The roast vegatable again where hard and undercooked apart from the carrots which where fine. All in all the beef and Yorkshire best part of the meal which I ate the rest of the meal I left shame really that I ended up disappointed after spending nearly £40 to eat there

Server * Chloe * was very accommodating when in over the weekend. Went above and beyond. Making sure our meals were perfect. Previous experiences not so much. Will be coming back soon. Fingers crossed to the just as good service and food.

Had a great meal here and Chloe our waitress was great so polite and nothing too much trouble we will be back

My server Chloe was so polite and helpful with a smile. It has made me want to return at the wheatsheaf in the future. Definitely recommend chloe

Came at the weekend and our server Chloe was lovely and made sure we got what we ordered🥰

I had a pleasant Evening as just pop in for a dec caffe coffee before i went home it's a pleasant place to visit highly recommended.

Really enjoyed my experience at the wheatsheaf! Food was nice but what really stood out to me was the politeness and kindness of my server Chloe! She went above and beyond for me and I really appreciated it, would recommend to everyone

Had a lovely meal last week It was very busy but the staff were amazing. Our waitress Chloe went above and beyond to ensure everything was ok with our meal. 5 star service well done chloe Will definitely be coming back

Excellent service with a great selection of food. Thank you to Chloe for making our dining experience enjoyable. Fantastic service Chloe. Well done

Changed a bit since I first went there in student days, but nice place to go inside or sitting outside.

Mollie 😁our service assistant was lovely. Fast and helpful with a smile. Food was lovely

Food has been disappointing recently. However the staff are amazing and still professional and helpful as always. Shame about the food...

Wasn't very busy but we had booked a table, however I think children had been sitting there before we arrived, the carpet had ground in chips around the table so we asked to move which was fine. I think this is something that should have been picked up by the staff and not customers. We did go on to have a nice meal.

Absolutely brilliant food, such a lovely atmosphere and my server, Chloe, was absolutely fantastic and delightful this evening, 10/10 recommend to everyone.

The food has certainly got better and a really nice pub

Not been for a while but very disappointed. Ordered Sunday lunch veg and roast potatoes obviously frozen variety ,meal very salty. Luckily the meat was edible or it would have all gone back to the kitchen. Even though we didn't need to use the salt pots it was a good job because they had rusty lids and salt was damp. We did make a comment at the time but nobody acknowledge it. Won't be in a hurry to go back.

Danielle and team did an amazing job at organising our reception for our wedding, kept us in the loop, managed to fit 60 guests in the room, food was amazing and so fresh and hot, drinks were lovely, Danielle did everything we asked for, couldn't of been more of a perfect night, thank you so much guys from Mr & Mrs crampton

Really good before the refurb. Even better after!

My husband booked a table for our wedding anniversary table 47 !He booked this with a young man George on Thursday last week ! We turned up at 15.30pm to find our table was taken !My husband went to the bar and the staff member George denying all knowledge saying he was not working when my husband booked the table " George then realised he was wrong and apologised to my husband!? However if a staff member lies how can they be trusted. It was our 22nd Wedding anniversary, so it's bad organisers and We Will Not Be recommending or going back "To the Wheatshief in the foreseeable future, Upset couple

An hour wait for food, when it finally arrived the gammon was good, the scampi ok but the lasagne and burgers were overcooked. Non-service dogs are allowed in. We “enjoyed” a dog barking constantly during our meal. The should, but didn’t, insist that it was taken outside. Overall, pretty crap. We’ve eaten there several times but I doubt we’ll bother again.

The food was amazing , tasted perfect and very good for price , atmosphere was set beautifully and the staff were very friendly with us when we came in till when we left

Great food and friendly staff! Good arrived quickly and the drinks are a good price! Love the new design since the refurb! Always a great place to go to!

Came here for drinks on my birthday, had a lovely time, had a great selection of drinks, cocktails etc. ordered nachos which were lovely! Lovely staff members behind the bar.

Service good, food tasty and good, value good

Visited for the rapunzel event with my family I've not eaten here for years as never rated the food just my opinion. The rapunzel event was very poorly organised very bad communication for the families placed on the bottom section. Apart from receiving a colouring sheet and being greeted by the princess we had very little interaction in our area. Staff never gave us info on ordering our own breakfast which was extremely average. Not all children was given the same food option. After leaving disappointed I had another event booked which I attended after speaking with my sister who had been to previous events she had said how amazing they was so was reasured it was a one off. So attended the teddy's bears picnic which was lovely well organised food ordered by adults still average. But children had an amazing time. So I would of attended more events just not chosen to eat here again myself. after expressing my disappointment of the rapunzel event on the facebook page. Wheatsheaf replied with excuses not willing to except constructive criticism altho my positive experience was fine. They Could of reached out on messenger instead deleted my comments. Terrible customer service not the way to deal with complaints would not return now.

Very friendly and efficient staff, food was tasty and was served quite quickly despite the pub being pretty full. Will definitely be back again when in the area.

Daughters Sunday dinner came out with no gravy at all We asked for gravy and no apology was given We got enough cabbage to feed an army of rabbits Fatty meat No mince sauce available Basic microwave meals £55 down the drain

I had a Mixed grill when I came and it was loverly. My mum had the gobi curry. Everyone’s meals arrive quickly and they were all Perfect. The service at the bar was top notch. I think he was called Lucas. He was friendly and had great advice on what to have. The food was brought out by a young lass called mollie and she was very helpful and got us extra sauces.a would recommend.

Came in on a Thursday afternoon was served by the lovely Olivia. The halloumi skewer I had was beautiful the presentation was very colourful.

6 people went for a meal. Absolutely disgusting. Missing items from our meals. Cold dried out chips and over cooked meat. Never had a nice meal from here. Do not recommend at all. Save your time and money.

Nice environment, live music on Saturdays

On of the best pub experiences in grimsby, near the college, thus a good mix of students and academics, plus of course the requisite building trade stopovers.

The food was amazing but when making changes to the meal due to preference or dietary requirements we were charged extra Also if you struggle with stairs or use a wheelchair do not hope to be served at the lower bar quickly they will walk past (albeit apologising) to do top bar tasks That being said the staff were helpful carrying drinks out when they weren't too busy and everything was reasonably priced

The food made me and my mother ill and am pregnant will not ever be coming back here again disgusting and there is hardly no vegetarian options

Middle of the afternoon was quite which affected the atmosphere. The food was good though.

Excellent quality food and drink Great selection of food Welcoming polite staff Very welcoming pub 😀 👍

here today ordered the cheese and bacon burger and like usual it’s exquisitely delicious from dave’s expertise. i had it served with mouth watering bbq sauce. the burger packed crunchy lettuce and perfectly cooked beef 10/10 would come back thanks to the comforting team lead by danielle every experience is the best one
