The Wheatsheaf in South Gloucestershire

Food was good but the pub lacked any real atmosphere and service was average at best.

Lovely local pub staff are friendly ,food is great and a good price.

Great selection of beers and ciders and a good food menu too.

We often go to Thornbury and, this time, decided to go to The Wheatsheaf for lunch, as recommended by a lady in the "over-60s cafe". The Wheatsheaf is in a great location just off the High Street, a beautiful building, very clean, jolly staff, pristine toilets! Everything was great. My companion had the ham, eggs and chips (best chips ever!), and the portions were so large that he had to take some ham home in a plastic box (aka doggy bag). I had the chickpea curry (I would have preferred chicken but it wasn't available), Very tasty indeed. And I liked the fact that the beaming chef herself served us straight from the kitchen, still with her apron on! Lovely homely touch, I thought! Highly recommended!

After a long break from the Wheatsheaf kitchen, we had a very nice roast dinner today. Biggest regret was not taking some pictures for the review, of the roast brisket Sunday dinner! Extremely tasty, very good size with good selection (5) of very nicely cooked fresh veg. Fully recommend.

Gorgeous Sunday lunch. Incredible value, delicious food and plenty of it. Had the beef with yorkshire pudding, 3 large potatoes and 5 different veg. Highly recommended. 5 stars all the way.

Rude owners. Food is undercooked. The swan is better in the high street

Lovely food ,great value for money

Fantastic place for a get together

Timed to perfection - first in and first served. Had the 'special' pork slices with salad and chips. Quick service and everything hot. Customers arriving after me were served quickly too. Great service by friendly staff.

Absolutely delicious Sunday beef roast with yorkshire pudding and yummy brownies with ice-cream and caramel sauce!!

Stopped for a Guinness!! Wow, best clean pint I've had in a while

I go there every Monday evening. For Skittles and have a great time kitchen is shut on a Monday but Crips are available. Great atmosphere and all seems to have a good laugh 😃

Friendly staff and welcoming pub with great selections of quality beverages and delicious food. Highly recommended to families and friends.

Nice food, good games area, staff so accommodating

Made to feel so welcome lively friendly pub

My first time meeting with the Thornbury Royal British Legion group. Following this 15 of us had booked the Sunday lunch. Following the meeting the meals came out quickly, piping hot and were first class with plenty on the plate. Thank you to all the friendly staff.

Beer was good. Disappointing bar staff . Very uninspiring longe . Will not be returning

Fantastic food, fantastic beer and awesome staff

Lovely pub & staff and delicious food

Good pub food & selection of drinks

Only 4 people in the pub when I attended, then I waited for 5 mins before the Bar person appeared, good choice of Real Ales,can't comment on food,didn't eat there, Free local parking(2 hrs) near,K

We had a nice meal. It’s a great pub. Staff and pub goers very friendly and helpful. Will visit again when next in the area.

The only public house in the centre that is a pub by the meaning of the word; it works.

Lovely place. Was Quiet due to bad weather. Friendly bar staff, and plenty of choices of ales, ciders and optics. 💯 ..

nice chilling place with big garden for family or group

Good old fashioned traditional pub. Great home cooked food, especially sunday lunch. Dog friendly, sports on tv one side posh lounge the other, pool tables, skittle alley, large garden, and friendly atmosphere

4 of us have had the best Sunday lunches in a lovely pub with great service from all members of staff. Very reasonably priced considering that the quality of the food is outstanding.

Nice atmospheric place. A traditional English pub, with beer and a traditional Sunday roast! I recommend it to foreign tourists!

Lovely public house which serves great food at a good price, good quality. The service is with a smile and nothing is to much trouble. If you just want a pint and watch the Rugby or football then this is the place. There is also a covered outdoor area along with a large garden is the weather is shining. Good atmosphere to enjoy.

Went to this pub with my wife what a wonderful local pub . Excellent service so friendly. Had a 2 course sunday dinner Could not fault it infact it's probably the best I've had in a very long time . Will be back soon

Great location with parking and a super selection of real ales, it’s therefore a great place for meeting friends and family for a little reunion.

Nice just popped in for food as I was in the area, Sunday lunch vegetarian option was v nice also a vegan curry option.

Friendly staff and decent beer. Didn't try the food but looked really good.

Have had lunch here 5+ times in the last few months. All the food has been fantastic. The Wheatsheaf is the only pub in Thornbury town that knows how to keep beer. Highly recommended if you like a good pub.

Good drinking pub. Plenty of choice and guest ales. Often have a beer festival in the summer 👍🙂

Had Sunday lunch 3 times lately, taking friends. All agree, excellent food and good value. Friendly staff and proper pub atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Had the Sunday lunch of roast pork, it was absolutely delicious, lots of fresh veg cooked to perfection. Staff were lovely & the place was spotlessly clean. I will be going again & would definitely recommend.

A very friendly welcoming pub, with lovely freshly cooked lunchtime food in the centre of Thornbury. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Sunday Lunch. We sat in the lounge bar with a lovely open fire. Options for 1,2 or 3 courses.

Home from home, always made to feel welcome!

I use the Wheatsheaf for an occasional meal when I'm working late in Thornbury. It's a 'proper' local pub. Nothing fancy but homely, very reasonably priced well cooked food (I always have the sausage and mash). Nice atmosphere, sport on TV and a log fire. What more do you want?

A lovely traditional pub. A great selection (4) of cask ale, all kept in perfect condition. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Probably the best pub in Thornbury

Looks quaint outside. Not so much inside. -3 outside. No fire. Asked server. In horror, she looked and said she would have to ask permission from owner upstairs. She did text. No answer was afraid to build and light fire. Was over 1 hr for landlord to to respond. Wasn't happening. ( No response) Sad state when patrons and staff wearing jackets. Disappointed. Oh, just fyi £4.50 for a pint. I think that seals the deal. Lovely young lady behind bar!!

Great food, fun loving staff , had a game of skittles. Great fun.

Need to go again soon cheap beer and good food

Lovely bar friendly staff and good selection of ale and largers

Very convenient for meals after a trip to the Undy Playing Fields with the grandchildren

Working away from home and a lot of weekends.. sick of cooking for yourself? Sunday dinner absolute life saver..Totally lush! Best £12 I ever spent!

Great pub with food that is cooked just right and friendly staff Wonderfull place for a meal and drinks 👍

Basic .cool..good well cooked meals

Really lovely food and service.

Food was good, drinks were good, staff nice and friendly

Brilliant locals pub. Really nice spacious beer garden and excellent homemade food.

Love this pub. Great for outdoor eating and the menu choice is really good. I lunched here with a friend who had the Gin of the day and I had a small bottle of sauvignon blanc. Great food. The Tempura Prawns and Sea Bss are always a good choice (when the Sea Bass is available).

Had a family meal on Sunday, can't fault it you need to go there, great food and service.

Recommended by my Dad who has his Sunday dinners there. Ordered the ploughman's which came with ham and cheese. I wasn't disappointed and left feeling full and content.

Nice garden and helpful staff but the beer could be better.

What a great friendly place great beer garden spacious and pool and a great choice of beer too

Lovely little pub to enjoy the 6 nations at! The garden is huge! The staff were all friendly and happy to serve even with the place being super packed! Only had some snacks so canny really comment of the food but what snacks we had were delicious! Would definitely get boozed up at this pub again!

The sign outside says “Good food” but that is a massive understatement. The Sunday lunch (we had beef and pork versions) was phenomenal. Both meats were excellent quality cuts and were done to perfection, as tender as they come. The accompanying veg was lovely and flavoursome, not boiled to tasteless oblivion like some places. Nice touch was the extra gravy jug if needed. The place itself was lovely and traditional looking, with friendly and helpful staff. Value for money also excellent, I’ve paid more than double their prices for meals that were a tenth of the quality.

Run down old dirty place. Needs modernisation.

Great atmosphere, awesome food, Russ & Sam are Lovely hosts

Great place to go for a nice quiet pint of decent beer. Give it a try.

Played skittles there against the home team. Friendly banter between both teams Warm friendly atmosphere. Landlord and staff are professional and welcoming.

Great Sunday Lunch. Roast Beef (melt-in the mouth brisket) everything home made..awesome meal. Highly recommended. Great staff, friendly team run by Russ and Sam. Great beer, great food, friendly staff and atmosphere. Everything you need in a pub. Beer was perfect, beer garden huge, separate pool room, darts, sports on tv, pub piano music. Outside area is cosy…Separate bar and lounge….Perfect venue. Well done to a great pub! I’ve definitely found my new “local”…

Love this pub. Staff are very friendly and give excellent service. Good range of draught beers and food is second to none. Games rooms and fab garden. Needless to say we have been back several times! 😉 Big thumbs up. 👍

Really enjoyed the time spent at this pub, which offers a wide range of drinks and a lovely beer garden. Many pub games are also available, both the staff and the locals seemed very welcoming. Unfortunately I haven't tried their food, but I definitely will come back for that and more time in the lovely garden!

Reeece was an excellent bartender 10/10 would recommend

Popped in after being away for many years. Was one of my favourite pubs and still is. Great pub

Great fresh food, lovely garden

Loved this place, first pub I’d even been to in 2021 & luckily had the fortune to visit here. Enjoyed the surroundings, enjoyed the cider & more than enjoyed the service of the beautiful bar maid/waitress who I think was called Stacey... I didn’t get her name but heard the two enthusiastic young men behind me....

ALWAYS a perfect pint of guiness!! Such great customer service too and the roast potatoes are amazing!!

Its a great pub to visit , it is spacious for sports with screen's everywhere to relaxe and enjoy with locals and friendly staff.

Amazing food recommended going there. Very nice staff and helpful

For the past few weeks we’ve thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday roast at The Wheatsheaf. The food has always been excellent, the veg fresh, the roast potatoes crispy and the homemade Yorkshire puddings are lovely. Today we had the belly pork roast, for a change, it was easily the best belly pork I’ve ever had, beautifully tender but the crackling was crunchy, as it should be. If you’re after a proper roast dinner, there’s no frozen, reheated rubbish here, The Wheatsheaf is absolutely the best place to go.

A personal favorite of mine, a great selection of drinks. Including the infamous black-rat.

Lovely Sunday dinner best for long time

Today a very depleted group through illness visited the Wheatsheaf here in Thornbury.I chose the home cooked Chile Chicken wings to start,with a large Scampi,chips aned salad for the main,the meals were huge we were all very full and happy afterwards,I took away one Large Scampi salad and chips for a lady who always comes with our group,we had just finished our meals and the extra order delivered on a plate well wrapped up in s ilver foil and cling film,when our driver turned uo early.I had my usual pint of beer shandy to wash down the meal.Well done all concerned at the Wheatsheaf.

Can’t beat the Wheatsheaf, it is a good old-fashioned pub with a bar and lounge areas separated by a glass and wood partition. The food is great pub food with the best omelettes in Thornbury. It has a skittle alley and a pool room away from the bars. Some of the beer is a bit pricey compared to other Thornbury hostelries but worth it for the ambience of the pub. The log fire is very welcome on a cold February day.

Very good atmosphere lovely surrounding staff very helpful and friendly we eat there after.

Good, typical local pub. Limited food menu. Good range of beers. Friendly staff. 🍺👍👍👍

Today our group of eight again visited here,I had a large cod,garden peas and chips for a change,followed by a very large Belgian Waffle ,two scoops of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup.The lunch was very hot had to wait a little while for it to cool down,really enjoyed it. Washed down as usual with a pint of beer shandy.Full marks for the chef and service.

Always busy the waiting times can vary and the staff will let you know if there is a waiting times for take away or inside the premises. Staff are friendly and do there best for you

Lovely this pub really quirky and yummy food beautiful garden to.

Two bars very friendly and near car parks.

We hit the Wheatsheaf on a Saturday evening after we'd found other pubs shut their kitchens. It's an honest town pub, kept St Austell Tribute pale ale well, and had a straight-forward menu. It's not a foody pub, it's not a football-on-TVs- everywhere pub, it's got a petanque patch, a giant chess set and a thoroughly relaxed attitude. I felt at home there, and not out of place, as one can find in some small places. We had filled jacket potatoes with our choice of fillings. They were freshly cooked and not re-heated from days ago, and on a hot evening away from home, the Wheatsheaf shone. Oh, it's not desperately modern or quaint or <whatever>, it's an honest town pub. Recommended.

Really good food. Would definitely recommend. Will be back

Great place to drink and eat. The staff are great too

Had a nice roast beef Sunday lunch

Nice pub friendly and obliging staff beer kept well

Really friendly welcome nice staff, great atmosphere

Let us in after close because me and my work mates finished really late and really needed a drink after a tough long ass shift, gave us drinks right before close, let us have plastic cups so we don't have to down our drinks before we leave, amazing people, what a G, lot of love, give them a raise 🤙

Great service and always good sport on the TV

Lovely friendly pub. Good beers and food. Lively atmosphere. Friendly bar staff happy to serve.

Another pub that could so easily be better but they start off with a very unimaginative menu. Chicken wings for a starter at £8 - not for me. Either it's a very large portion or grotesquely overpriced. Fish and Chips good. From a very limited list of puddings Belgian waffle and ice cream with maple syrup sounded the best - it wasn't as the texture of the waffle was like rather stale bread. I thought the lady so busy 'cleaning the tables' when so obviously busy listening to our clearly fascinating conversation was going to draw up a chair and sit down with us.

Good, if unadventurous food except truly vile tartare sauce.

Good friendly pub. Pool table and shows sport on TV. Also has skittle ally. Drinks could be cheaper however they have flat rate which is a quality cider. Sometimes gets guest ciders in which are good. Good beer garden too.

Lovely food and a great atmosphere. The food didn't take long to come and it was hot. I ordered pan fried duck breast and my partner had a burger.

Really good food Enjoyable drinks Entertainment all around Comforting and calm atmosphere Every waitress was kind I went to the wheat sheaf on Saturday with a few of my mates. Great overall time A* recommendation Your mum gey
