The Wheatsheaf in Chorley

First time in this place and was told the pies are the best and I have to agree. They were wonderful , I had the chicken and bacon and my husband the steak and ale, unfortunately I had a starter beforehand and struggled to eat 3 quarters of the main sadly leaving some. The girls who served us were all friendly and helpful . Highly recommend to all.

Top chef Great country pub Great place to wine, Dine and chill with your friends and family

Lovely food, lovely staff nice and clean

I brought my Mum here after my last visit with my friend. Mum had the game pie and I had the chicken, bacon and black pudding. Honestly the best pie I have ever eaten. Everything was perfect the chips, mushy peas and jug of gravy. It was a gorgeous day so we had ice cream outside afterwards. I was very happy that the portion of ice cream was very generous. I can’t wait to return.

Really distinctive proper English country pub. Very nice food with great staff and, as a bonus, some great real ales. A great find on our way home from a day at Formby beach

Still a great place to eat. Tuesday pie day. Cant remember when i had a better gsme pie

I love the wheatsheaf ❤️ It's a perfect little spot to watch the world go by with a pint Specially in the sun 🌞

Excellent village pub, great food and good beer 👍

Yet again an amazing experience Gracie worked tirelessly serving customers with speed and professionalism the evening was finished with a excellent roast turkey meal well done all!!!!

Proper popular hostelry in the heart of the village . Well, it's worth a visit. I have not tried the food yet, but I was told by regulars that it is good?

Had lunch here today with a friend. I am particular about pies and I’m generally disappointed and end up with indigestion from the rubbish ingredients! Wow the pie was to die for and the chips, peas and gravy. The whole meal was fabulous and I seriously needed a nap afterwards due to the happy food coma I was in.

We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Wheatsheaf. Everyone enjoyed their food and the portions were very generous. All served efficiently with a smile. As a bonus, a band came on at 9pm to entertain us.

Lovely pub, great service, homemade food. Best steak and ale pie I've had in a long time.

We made an unplanned visit for lunch which turned out to be absolutely beautiful. I picked the Camembert sharer which was delicious and such a good portion size. My husband and son both had the steak and ale pie which they thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely visit again in the future.

The fish and chips and desert were exceptionally good

Taste sensation, Crispy chilli beef. Wow. Loads of tender beef strips in a full on sticky sour sauce with plenty of chilli heat. Great service too.

An absolute winner for a pleasant welcome and fantastic pub food. Highly recommended

Just brilliant food, service, atmosphere. Can't fault it.

Always good to find a village pub with a great range of cask ales and serving food that’s open seven days a week. Top class staff make it an enjoyable visit. A real pleasure to drink here and a well deserved regular entry in the Good Beer Guide.

No. 2 in best burgers of all time !

We had such a wonderful dining experience @ Wheatsheaf. The food was fresh, well prepared & cooked…Complements to the chef & staff. Highly recommend.

Even though it was packed on a Friday night, the service was better than anywhere else we’ve been in ages. The food is always fantastic, with a wide variety for different tastes, caution the portions are massive but very welcome in my hungry belly. There was a table of seven of us and the food came out quickly for us all nobody was left waiting.

Visited last Saturday evening with friends. Had a lovely meal with fab service with a smile. Would recommend great home cooked food in a lovely atmosphere

You won't be disappointed when you visit

Lovely lunch with my brothers in law. Beer selection was very good.

Pie night at the Wheatsheaf is a must the pies are definitely delicious. I had the chicken and chorizo it was lovely ! The regular offering is a choice of three different pies, all served with chips pease and gravy. I must say all the food is very good including the weekend breakfast . The staff are also great and the atmosphere is most welcoming.

Four of us ordered 4 different dishes & all were fantastic. Lamb Kleftico, fish n chips, Schezwan crispy beef & Venison& Chicken Pie. The pie was SPECTACULAR & Vinnie, the chef, is a pie legend! The place was packed and the service & Food kept the pace with the pressure Well done everybody. If you haven't been..... give it a try!

Excellent quality food and service.

If Carlsberg did local pubs...🖖

Very good food value for money definitely come again

Had the goats cheese salad. Was absolutely delicious

Excellent meal in all respects!

Good service nice food would recommend

A great find in the chocolate box village of Croston, early evening sunshine, bustling front terrace, so inviting, great couple of hours spent there.

Had lunch today, sat outside. Weather glory. Food spot on, very tasty and well cooked Friendly banter, with other diners. Staff very helpful and polite.

First visit and it won't be the last

First time visiting The Wheatsheaf after being recommended. Menu had good selection on it. Food arrived and was nicely presented and was tasty but service post the meal was sadly disappointing. No one came to check if everything was OK with the meal and there was no offer of more drinks or the dessert menu or coffees. After going up to the bar to request more drinks was told that they aren’t served after 2:30pm which is fair enough but the meal was booked for 1pm so it would have been nice to have been told this rather than left sitting and waiting. Skeleton staff - maybe as mid week - and restaurant manager sitting with his family.

Nice pub with nice food and friendly service. We stopped for a drink and a butty on a ride out on our old 2 stroke motorcycles. Enjoyed it.

Nice food and great seating area outside

The food was superb, very fresh and we enjoyed it, the portions fantastic. Chicken pie homemade was massive, catch if the day was Red Snapper, very tasty,

Great place great staff great food

Had a lovely lunch. Definitely be back.

Our first visit to the Wheatsheaf since the 1990s. The staff are lovely & very friendly & welcoming too. Not many people in though it was mid-week. The food was great & we will definitely be back when next in the area. On the down side, whole place could desperately do with a re-furb. Bench seat wearing thin & the ladies toilets, whilst very clean, they need up-dating with new locks on the doors too.

A quiet Sunday afternoon - considering the football final later today - but a steak and ale pie waiting a little while for. The puff pastry and filling were very generous and the hand-cut chips cooked perfectly as well. Best pub pie I’ve had in a long while.

If you fancy a short ride up to Croston then their isn’t a more friendlier place to go on a Sunday than the WHEATSHEAF pub .Plenty of good tasty choices to choose from .The service is excellent and a great local atmosphere.

This used to be our go to pub for food but the quality of food is poor. It's deteriorated quite quickly as we used to go regularly so not sure whether it's changed chef/management.

Food was ok, but ran out of steak on a Saturday, other than that a lovely place.

Delicious meal as always with 5 friends we had the braised brisket large portion tender with no fat. This is my favourite gastro pub in the area. The salt and pepper chicken burger is also a great choice.

Great food. Beautifully presented. Nice host. Good service. Will return. Plenty of room for a wheel chair.

Having read the reviews and seen how popular this is we were excited to visit for a lunch at the weekend. Upon arrival there was no clear direction as to where to go to advise that we had a table booked but we got sat down easily and were able to order drinks albeit without seeing a drinks menu. Starters arrived and were not quite as detailed on the menu- mozzarella mushrooms was infact one large mushroom which was cold and raw in the middle, presuming due to its pure size! Mains arrived and both meats were dry, so neither were finished. Sadly not what we were hoping for and we decided to go elsewhere for pudding.

Our first visit. Lovely staff, first class food! Highly recommend the chorizo and prawn salad and the crispy chicken burger. Recommend the still cider too. The dogs appreciated the water bowls 🐾. A lovely place for lunch. Shall definitely come again. 😁👍🩷

Took the family here for a cooked breakfast. Food was hot and well presented. Staff were friendly and the service was great. Would highly recommend.

Had lunch at the wheatsheaf croston,it was fantastic food very tasty and good value for money will def calling again staff wer attentive and professional well worth the journey

What a great find. Amazing food, all the usual favourites but elevated. We had the battered cod, chunky chips mushy peas and tartare and it's up there with the best I've eaten. all other food coming out looked amazing. well definitely be going back. Fantastic service too, accommoded us at the last minute and our toddler who was welcomed in. fantastic atmosphere and drink selection. a real must 10/10

Very nice and cosy inside. Modern decor but with a traditional twist. Excellent choice on the menu with plenty of mid week specials. Tuesday Pie and a Pint was a lucky surprise treat when we arrived as we didn't know beforehand. Steak, Brie and Bacon pie and chips. Wow, delicious. But the other option was Chicken and Haggis! Choices choices. So we ordered 1 of each and shared. Both amazing. Great choice of beers, wines and spirits. Staff very friendly and welcoming. It was busy inside side but not crazy busy, enough people to create a nice atmosphere with plenty of tables available. Can't wait to revisit, maybe for Steak Night Thursdays!

Delicious fajitas, great service, lovely owners 👌

Was lovely and cosy .don't know if it's the usual but wasn't serving food after 3 .so just missed out on a nice lunch .very disappointed ☹️ had to have crisps and a pint .

Ok so my girlfriend had a small issue with her meal and notified a member of staff, who was understanding and gave an alternative meal, no fuss no problem, it was I'm sure a one off, also they gave me a free desert .. my steak and ale pie was excellent and my girlfriends braised beef was superb. Highly recommend this place, very attentive staff good food and portion size..

Great pub with lots of outdoor space

Blown away by the quality of food in this unassuming pub. Menu was brilliant with lots of chioces and service was very attentive.

Great food and a good selection of ales. Lots of music nights too.

Food was all great, service was a little slow, prices okay

Stayed overnight in the carpark and enjoyed a lovely evening meal and breakfast the next day. Superb quality of food, lovely setting and surrounding area and staff were lovely. Highly recommend it. We parked at the back of the carpark with other motorhomes, if you have blockers you may feel you need them, we just coped with a slight slope. There is quite a steep hill to climb down to the pub and back so take note if mobility is poor, I have very poor mobility but managed it okay. Certainly wouldn't put me off coming again.

Cycled here many times for lunch. Decided to take my partner for Valentine's night. WOW! The food was absolutely first class, better than quite a few high end restaurants we have tried! After a superb starter an amazing main, partner had the Salmon and I had the chicken off the a la carte menu. Decided to have a go at the shared desert as it was Valentine's night! Best decision of the night, Awesome is all I can say. As a Guinness drinker, never tasted a better pint! Added to this, the service we received from two waitresses was first class! Only left a ten pound tip, wish I could of afforded more. Thanks to all at the Wheatsheaf. Ten out of Ten, will spread the word but don't think you need it, thanks for a lovely evening.

Popped in for a pint with some pals, made to feel welcome a d good choice of beers

I had forgotten how much I love having lunch here. The sun was streaming in through the windows, the restaurant was full on a Monday afternoon (testament in itself) food was amazing, service was very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you

This is the first time we have visited. Having decided to stop off spontaneously. In a great location, always visibly busy, and because of word of mouth reviews from friends this has been on our list for some time. Venue: Set in an idyllic village, this fits the bill for country pub. Cosy and traditional, while clean and tidy. Ales on tap and delicious food to be had. Sporting up to date, fresh decor while retaining all the furnishings. One end set aside for food, the other for drinks. With outdoor seating available. Car parking available to the front side of the property. Food: The food exceeded expectations. Although a more compact menu, there were sections with a little bit of everything for everyone. From staples such as pie and chips to burgers to vegetarian risotto. There was a specials board and the traditional Sunday roast options available. The wait for the food (from being made) was not noticeable, the meal arrived piping hot and was fresh and tasty. Great food, kitchen staff clearly a credit. Service: The disappointment from the lack of acknowledgement upon entering, and not being offered a choice table (despite availability - for the duration of our extended visit), only grew and turned into frustration; being over-looked while the family who entered with us was waited upon for orders and food, along with the couple after us, both of whom were served food. While we sat with drinks and menus... we ended up going to the bar despite table service. Shortly after the food arrived, we did get checked in on to make sure the food was alright, which it was. And that was our last contact. Despite the other tables having dishes removed and being offered dessert and making payments. We sat. No more drinks, no offers of dessert or even payment. We eventually went to the bar to pay. For perspective. We were there for 2 hours. And the wait for food was 20 minutes at most..... The restaurant was not at half capacity and there were 3 front of house staff. Cost: Reasonably priced, good quality. A couple of non-alcoholic drinks and mains for just over £30. Would be great for any time, family or couples. Overall: The highlight was definitely the meal, tasty and hearty. If you are willing to wait. The best service was the self service. Tips: Limited close parking available! Great for a pint in warmer weather?

Amazing lunch experience, all food was home cooked including the chips which is a rare find these days and The pies were unreal. Staff very friendly and attentive, will definitely be returning.

Lovely Sunday roast. The prices have gone up quite alot here so unfortunately we wont be visiting as regularly. The service is pretty average in general. It's a nice cosy pub to visit this time of year.

Great couple of visits. Clean, staff friendly, great Value. Pies are proper pies. You won't leave hungry.

Food was delicious. Staff where attentive, without be over the top. Friendly and efficient. We have been several times, recently. Highly recommend.

Every time we pop in, food and service are always exceptional

Wonderful pub and quite local all the staff are amazing and some well kept cask available on the times eaten there always be incredible food, Thank you

An excellent little local pub, the best in Croston in my opinion. The toilets aren't up there though but serve a purpose. Only a couple of ciders, both Strongbow, which is disappointing but still nice to nip in and knock the top off one

Excellent service, all the staff were very friendly, helpful & accommodating & the food amazing

The food was good as you can see. I did ask for a change with mine due to an allergy this was not listened too and was even told that it was fine! When it was given without items that i am allergic too, it was lovely I had a sandwich. The place was packed and the staff were run off their feet but when they came to the table they were lovely. It was a little chilly so many kept their coats on. I would return again but in the summer

My first visit to the Wheatsheaf for many, many years for a Sunday mid afternoon roast lunch. Bit of a mix up with the menus as no mention from the server of roasts and we ordered off the menu that we had been given thinking we were getting what looked like roasts. However the beef we received in a massive bowl was delicious, so no complaints there. It is a lovely local old village pub at the centre of the community. On a slightly different tack, it was Croston Xmas Fair Day and the roads were absolute chaos as access at both ends of the village had been blocked off. We drove in from Rufford direction to be met with a road block on the T junction, so turned left looking to park. This road was gridlocked, parking on both sides and traffic FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS navigating a road that was only wide enough for one vehicle in both directions. Not a single PLOD in sight and why nobody could work this chaos out in advance is beyond me. The road should have been made one way from the village centre for a day. We had to head towards Leyland Garden Centre, enter Croston from that end and before the road block at that end of the village find a parking space in a school.

We have dined here before and really enjoyed our meal. However this time it really did disappoint us. The photo shows what was advertised as lamb burger, however the actual meat was more than poor and totally tasteless. To disguise the taste of the burger this was served with heaps of dressing. Such a let down to the kitchen. We did report this but little was offered except a complimentary drink. A lack of customer service also on behalf on the duty manager.

We decided to return to this pub as our first experience on dining there two months ago was totally outstanding. However this evening we were greatly disappointed. One of our orders which we chose was a lamb burger.tThis consisted of a strange construction of tasteless meat which was served on a brioche bun accompanied by far too much sauce, which I now realize was to disguise the meat. I left half of this and reported it to a member of staff. She was apologetic and then offered a complimentary drink which I declined and asked for the bill. Very surprised to see that this meal was included in my bill alongside another main which we had plus a starter and two drinks. Not really the best way to treat customers on a very quiet Monday evening.

Only evening drinks. Great service and atmosphere.

Lovely pub in croston village, food is great, portions are large and lovely pub overall, also has a very nice and charming beer garden.

Called in for an impromptu tea with my grandson, ordered 2 chicken, ham and black pudding pies they came to the table piping hot and were delicious (and massive!) Will definately be returning! The staff were lovely and very attentive, thank you.!

Always a good night, excellent for sitting outside and car spotting!

Very nice Sunday Lunch. Large portions. Served with mustard and horseradish on the side. Nice ice cream to finish

Really nice food and lovely friendly staff

Fantastic food and service. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. A real proper country pub with very good food and a wide selection of ales, spirits and wines. Thank you.

Really great home cooked food, great service, really lovely country pub, would definitely recommend and we hope to go again.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love this pub, have visited many over summer, lovely location, food fabulous, staff friendly.

Great service friendly atmosphere fantastic food steak was delicious 👍

Lovely little country pub in charming surroundings

Tucked away in the lovely village of Croston the Wheatsheah was well worth the drive. Menu, service and excellent food on a lovely summers day in the beer garden, what more could you want ?? Will be back soon.

Absolutely delicious fries and burger

Stunning food, could not fault!

Been 3 times now, stunning food, excellent service, well recommended, parking a bit awkward but always managed

Great food, great service, was even allowed to bring my dog for his birthday 😊🐾🐾

Been a couple of times in the last month, the home made pies are the best I’ve had in any pub. Excellent friendly service.

Lovely Pub in the heart of the picturesque village of Croston. The meals were well priced. I had the burger and fries, which was a well proportioned, very tasty meal. Great setting, with good parking, and delightful outdoor seating area.

Great food,excellent service, dog friendly and the Citra is perfect.

Lovely place with good food. Stopped here as we were in the area and had great food. We were at the end of service so it was a bit quieter, but the landlord was friendly and very accommodating. Definitely recommend.

Our first visit in a while. The food was absolutely delicious! Alas the service was atrocious. We left after waiting 20 minutes for the desert menu. We felt we were invisible. Won’t be rushing back. Such a shame!
