The Wheatsheaf in Aylesbury Vale

After a long day spent moving homes managed to get a very late supper here with just minutes to spare. Despite our late arrival we were made to feel welcomed - the staff were all friendly helpful and efficient. Meal choices and drinks quickly ordered and we sat back to enjoy a well earned drink. Our meals arrived very quickly all very fresh and quite delicious. My liver was beautifully and perfectly cooked. Hubby has fish and chips again freshly with ‘home made’ chips. We were offered desserts but reluctantly declined opting instead for coffees. A lovely way to finished a long day. Would recommend and hope to return again soon.

3 of us went for dinner on 4th December. Early time 6.30 but the locals and owners were great. Food was tasty and service friendly and we had a great time, Will definitely return.

My first visit with a group of girls from Cosgrove. We weren’t disappointed. Food amazing and LOTS of it. So much, in fact, I had no room for desert. Bah. A little chilly in the conservatory/annex but good service and excellent lunch was had by all.

We arrived a few minutes after lunch service time but the lovely lady behind the bar said it would be fine, she even brought over a biscuit for our dogs. Lunch was absolutely delicious - gammon steak and the sweet potato pie. We had forgotten pub food could be this good.

Popped in here during my visit the silverstone this year and had a really lovely meal washed down with a fine selection of real ale, Nice people and a very interesting pub in a picturesque village

My wife and I own a number of pubs in the Harrow area. Looking to add another one to our portfolio, but in the countryside, and having been advised by a brewery rep that this pub was for sale, we chose to make a “ secret squirrel “ visit to check it out. The parking in the village was impossible, so we were pleased to see two cars finally leave the pubs own car park. Before we could reverse back up the high street a grey Land Rover beat us to it , but took up both parking places. I politely spoke to the owner of the Land Rover as to why he occupied both spaces. His reply was an unintelligible mumbled grunt, so I continued to back out of the car park into the High Street where we waited for a space to become free several hundred of yards away. As we then walked to the pub we saw that the Land Roger driver was waiting for us. We went in through the front door, he went into the side entrance. My wife and I then considered what to drink, only to find that the man took up position behind the bar. He then loudly accused us of being rude to him and became aggressive and evil tempered. He told his staff to not serve us and an argument then ensued. He ejected my wife and I from the pub. It is surprise that this landlord needs to sell his pub ; needless to say, my wife and I won’t be buying it !

I've frequented this fine establishment for over 25 years now, and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and people each time. The current owners and staff are absolutely brilliant, as is the food and liquid refreshment choices. Heck, if you want it, they'll brew a cup of tea for you! No loud music, no noisy fruit machines, just a great atmosphere. The walled patio area out the front is a real sun trap, and the garden out back is family friendly. Our well behaved canine friends are generally welcome too. Friday evenings are the busiest. If you're looking for a Sunday lunch, best phone earlier in the week, as they fill up fast! Note that Mondays it is closed. Well, they have to have a day off too, and deservedly so!

Friendly service, great beer and good choice on menu and freshly made. However it would be nice to have a ‘specials’ board to take advantage of seasonal foods.

A really excellent liver and bacon lunch.The pub looked after our walking group very well.Interesting village pub offering good food and service

Went here for lunch, as it had been recommended. Service was very slow, and when our meals arrived they looked fine. We had both ordered bacon and cheese burgers. Area. Neither burger was fully cooked and was very pink except for a very thin outer brown. To be fair we were not charged for either meal and only paid for our drinks, but I don't think we shall be visiting again.

We often go down to the Wheatsheaf, Lovely staff. It has a nice conservatory where you can have a nice meal. We have eaten down there and the food was very good. Friday night is always the busiest just lately, but you always get a nice crowd of the locals that visit on a regular basis over the weekend. They have a massive garden out the back which gets very busy during the summer months. well worth a visit.

Looking for a pub on a wet Saturday lunchtime & we were lucky enough to find this one Roaring fire & very welcoming staff & a very busy bar, what a great place We chose the conservatory for our meal. Service was top Notch. The menu had plenty of choice. I Started with Halloumi, Sweet Chilli & Pine Nut Salad, wow that was good, followed by Lamb, Mint & Red Wine Pie. Again wow that was so good. Mrs B started with the Soup followed by the Honey Baked Ham Egg & Chips. & loved it all Plus Stowford Press!! What more could I want. Shame the Landlady was a Chelsea fan. Tee Hee.

We received a very friendly welcome, pleased we had booked as it is a small country pub. The landlady came to our table and drinks were served immediately. Choice of food was good and the lamb in red wine pie was amazing. All 4 of the meals were delicious. Service was good throughout. We will definitely return.

We love this pub. The food is freshly cooked to order and the service is quick and friendly. We always book in advance. They serve good country English food and it's great. If there is anything ever not quite as it should be, they are quick to put it right for us. Prices are comparable with other Buckingham restaurants. The local ales are always a good choice.

After a long walk at Stowe gardens we were looking for lunch and happened upon this lovely old country pub with minutes to spare before last orders for food! Jo put us at our ease, recommended the pies and poured us two pints of a guest dark mild called Ghost train. Seated at our table, we took in the low beams and cosy nooks in the room, while receiving a warm welcome from the regulars. The beer was delicious, and the pies (one steak, and one lamb, red wine and mint) were to die for! Shaped like pork pies, homemade pastry crammed with meat and delicious gravy, and served with chips and cabbage, with a full gravy boat on the side.

I arrived as they just opened so how come there are chips on the carpet around the tables? Every window full of dust and cobwebs, even a dead spider and it wasn't a halloween decoration!. Chips undercooked and meal not particularly tasty. I'm guessing as the bar was full, time and attention is spent on that area and nowhere else.

Had lunch with friends in this small village pub and was very impressed with the quality of the food and standard of cooking, the steak was just right at ‘rare’. The portion size was good and the service was speedy.

We popped into this beautiful little pub on the way back from Silverstone! We were made to feel very welcome.... We met Jo and Brad the owners.....looking forward to trying their menu......see you soon! Debbie and Andrew.

Another very good Sunday lunch here. Lovely tender beef slightly rare. Great veg. Sound veggie options as well.

Hadn't been this way in around 20 years and fancied a look. My word! The beer choice was superb and the lunch just perfect. The landlady - I think that's who she was - was welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We had classics and they were cooked superbly - nothing poncy, much relief - just good homecooked food. The sausages were amazing (and I make sausages for a living so am hard to please) and the steak burger was a stunner! Simply made with a good thick slice of bacon and cheese on top with a lovely red cabbage slaw. Top job guys and see you soon. Oh and by the way this pub is just the sweetest wee place ever - a smashing building.

Went for a Sunday lunch with my family and was pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of this pub. The Sunday roast menu was very limited - beef or pork. We asked for the beef and for it to be on the medium to well done side. The food arrived very fast, but it has to be the most flavourless roast dinner I have ever had! The vegetables were completely bland and tasteless, roast potatoes pale and woolly and the beef was rare, in spite of our request. The portions were generous, but quite frankly I didn't want to eat it all and that's very rare for me! The price was average for a pub but all in all very disappointing. Most pubs do a good job of Sunday roasts and you can't usually go too far wrong, but we won't be coming here again.

Excellent lunch with son. Lovely old pub. Good value for money compared to Buckingham eateries! I had roast beef which was nicely rare and plenty of veg although they could have been a bit hotter. Vegetable lasagne for veggie son.

Visited for pub lunch. Nice garden so nicevtobeat outside. Reasonable choice on menu & quality & quantity good.

The Wheatsheaf has been open since the 1700s, and the most recent landlords are giving it a lot of love and attention. They have several independent ales on tap, which is a big plus factor. We've had a vegetarian ploughman in the past which was really nice, but today for lunch we had vegetarian mint and pea soup which was very good and served with chunks of fresh bread. The garden in the back has plenty of space for families to enjoy being together, and they advertise a trivia night on Sundays. Full of real country character.

Lovely pub with a great garden, a large group of us visited on a Saturday evening to celebrate a birthday. Most of us required food but unfortunately were told that most of the food on the menu had run out. The only explanation given was that they only did Roast dinners on Sundays and were only using up what they had got left. We asked for a coffee and was told there would be a fifteen minute wait and quite frankly wondered why we had bothered, as when it arrived it was lukewarm and the milk curdled when added to the drink. On complaining the waitress replied well the milk shouldn't be off but there was no offer of a fresh cup. The food for those who did manage to order some was fairly average and about normal pub price. Sorry but would not use this pub again for food.

We gave driven through Maids Moreton over a hundred times over the past 40 years and never even noticed this pub. We only discovered it when a nearby pub we stopped at was not serving lunch and gave us the recommendation and directions. Its less than 100m of the A413 so was easy to find.

I thought the pub look rustic and full of village life promise. Certainly looks the part and has a nice beer garden to the rear. Also dedicated dining room. Interesting beers, good service, friendly staff but a bit on the pricey side.

Increíble el Domingo almuerzo en el sol, en el precioso jardín. Carne preciosa, llena de verduras y una salsera. Volveremos seguro!

Pasó por ahorrar cocinando pero no volveremos y a £40 por dos platos principales y dos bebidas hubiera sido agradable poder terminar uno de los platos de comida

Leer los comentarios y pensamos en probar. Fue un pub que es maravilloso ver en este día y edad. Todo estaba limpio y ordenado y el menú tenía una buena elección. Los aperitivos eran muy buenas - trucha ensalada de queso de cabra y patés. Los platos principales eran impresionantes, pero era casi como si hubieran intentado dura, la panceta de cerdo era un poco duro y la hamburguesa era un poco demasiado grasiento. Dijo que la comida estaba caliente y bien servido y tengo que decir que el personal era magnífico. Volvería a comer de nuevo aquí creo que nuestras comidas principales sólo necesitaban un poco de refinamiento.

Had a superb lunch on Mothers Day in the conservatory. We had the belly pork roast with amazing crackling, and gorgeous veg. Will definitely visit again!

This pub is absolutely stunning with its oak beams,uneven floors and thatched roof the staff are excellent unfortunately I didn't try the food so cannot comment on it but I would love to come back here again

Last year I sat in the garden with a glass of beer (N/A admittedly) and bangers and mash. This time I was in the bar with a plate of fish and chips. There were so many items on the menu that I would have liked that it was really difficult to make a choice. Anyway, what was distinctive was the service which was impeccable and charming. It added an extra layer of pleasure to the experience. And to cap a wonderful lunch, my friend was paying! What's not to like?

Quiet Wednesday night, popped into the local. Excellent food, beer & service, so a local hero needs to be trumpeted.Food is homemade, very tasty, reasonably priced and unpretentious - exactly what you require from a country pub. My wife had a chicken katsu curry & boiled rice and I had two cricket ball sized homemade faggotts with gravy, mash & steamed veg. Both superb meals topped off with a couple of pints of Butcombe original with shorts for my wife. Service was excellent and remained consistent as pub numbers fluctuated which is always a healthy sign.Bill was just over £40. In this day and age, quality at that price is hard to find.Well done to the Wheatsheaf team!

Always a pleasure to escape into my local. Jo and Brad run a tight ship. Great customer service and filled with friendly faces. Guest ales each week adding to the appeal and I'm not sure if the dog drags me in or vice versa but we both get well treated.

A party of 7 of us went for dinner on Saturday evening. We used to visit many years ago, then it went downhill. I'm pleased to say that it's a great place again, the staff are friendly, the menu is slightly limited if you don't eat meat, but the food was great.

The pub was cosy on a cold day, wonderful real fires. The choice of draught beers was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. The food was excellent and there was a good choice. I was impressed that the manageress (?) removed and destroyed a menu that was slightly soiled - great attention to detail, presentation and cleanliness.I will certainly go back.

Lovely quaint pub - went for Sunday lunch as seen on doggiepubs.org and our 2 dogs were welcomed warmly and even got some biscuits from the owners - we all had roasts x2 beef and x2 lamb - all were lovely great quality meat, really well cooked and good amount of gravy (which is always important!) - good atmosphere and good value for money - plenty of parking around - recommend when in area

Whilst visiting my daughter we called in here for a meal. Absolutely no complaints, great menu choices and superbly cooked. We will definitely be returning here when we visit again.

The staff provide a warm welcome, and a cozy atmosphere, that make you want to come back again and again. The food was phenomenal, and staff were friendly and efficient, and the locals where charming and colorful and friendly. I would recommend a visit, for a jolly good time!!!The Landlord has provided a comfortable, friendly and a wonderful place to have lunch or dinner, the service was first class and memorable.

Had lunch here last week and were greeted by very friendly staff. When I saw what was on the menu I was very happy. They had lambs liver and bacon on and it was delicious. My wife's food also was great. Definitely somewhere to consider if in the area.

We visit the Wheatsheaf almost every week or so and have never left disappointed...quite the opposite, I never want to leave as they have Korev on draught.!! The food is excellent, the staff are always very friendly and the locals also make you feel welcome. Only regret is that we wish we had known it was only 500 yards from our house as we'd have visited a lot sooner...!!! Don't change a thing...a must visit if you are in the area. Logs fires in both bars are a real treat....lovely and warm..!!

We visited on a Saturday evening at about 7:30pm, didn't even know if they served food, so popped in on the off chance. The staff were really friendly, the menu is just right and food was great. It isn't a gastro pub, it is a local village pub serving great food, which we really enjoyed. Local ale and the wine wasn't ridiculously priced at a glass for £3.50, much more like it! Parking isn't plentiful, so would recommend sharing cars if you go with a gang.

Went here with 12 friends, as there was a large group of us we were located in their conservatory area, perfect for us. A wide range of beers were on offer. The service was perfect; drinks were served at the table when needed. We all had differing food, no one complained, portions were large and the food quality was superb. I personally had Liver and Bacon which was excellent.Highly recommend, but always book tables at weekends it is a popular pub.

Had a great family evening out, all opting for the pork. Faultless food and beer. Will be back soon.

Fulfils my image of a country pub. And so close to bustling Buckingham, but a world away. We sat in the garden with bangers and mash and a glass of beer. I wanted nothing else from the visit.

Went here with family and friends last week for lunch. The service was friendly and good and the food was wonderful, tasty and well presented and the portion size was right, not too much, which is the case with many pubs. We ate in the garden which was large and pleasant. They also know how to pull a beer.

I back in the area again and was glad to see it had not changed too much, a good selection of ales on sale all were good (I was walking not driving)

A friendly small village pub. Reasonable prices. Food is excellent. Beer garden which is great in summer. Small restaurant all with friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Very Poor Sunday lunch would not recommend !!We visited the pub on Sunday at 1.30 , the lunch menu is small, but that’s fine as Sunday lunch is more about roast dinners I guess, we were advised that the soup was already sold out even at 1.30, so we skipped starters.We ordered two roast belly pork from the Sunday lunch menu, it arrived in good time, however from that point it all went wrong .The roast potatoes were uneatable, a chain saw was needed to cut them , they had been cooked in a most unusual way and the skins had formed a hard outer shell sever millimetres thick (maybe baked in the oven and not pre boiled, let get cold and then fried ???), the other diners must also have had the same problem as plates of uneaten spuds everywhere.The vegetable arrived in a small bowl with water in the bottom and the cabbage was cooked to be mushy. Also everything was covered in black pepper ??? . As it was pork , we expected stuffing, None to be found, a little unusual ? Most decent pubs now include Yorkshire pudding with all roasts, however not the Wheatsheaf. The Belly pork was nice, could have been a little more cooked as it was a bit tuff for that cut, the crackling however was spot onThe Apple sauce was out of a jar.No one bothered to ask if we enjoyed the food, in fact we did not see any service, even thought they were not busy , plenty more pubs nearby that offer a great Sunday lunch, Wheatsheaf is to be avoided !!

Visited here while staying in the area for an event at Silverstone. There was no wait for a table so we weren't sure how good the food would be!! Normally if you have to wait then it's very popular. But we stayed and had our tea and a drink anyway. The staff were friendly and accommodating, I can't fault them at all. But the food was only average fish and chips, there were no mushy peas and the chips went cold almost immediately. Not bad for a quick meal passing through.

Had a friend over for the weekend & decided to finish off with Sunday lunch in the Wheatsheaf. The Sunday lunch is fantastic with the roast beef cooked to perfection. Portion size is excellent, you certainly won't leave hungry. Looking forward to my next visit.

Lovely meal as usual . We visit quite regularly as a group of friends. Friendly service. Good range of beers and lagers and always Guest ales.Advisable to book

Recently popped back to a favourite haunt, tried the pork chop and was very impressed. It had flavour, and was delicious! I'll be back for more:)

Visited here with friends who live nearby for lunch on a weekend. The main restaurant area was not open but we were given a nice table off the bar area which was fine. There was a good selection of food on offer at very reasonable prices: two of us had a delicious belly pork (with excellent crackling!); one haddock and chips (nice crispy chips, excellent crisp batter) and one risotto. the Ladies shared a banana split for dessert (which was ample for two!) while the boys had sherry trifle, which was a trifle (sorry!) disappointing relatively, coming in individual cups with very little sherry flavour, though perfectly pleasant. Spitfire on tap was excellent (it's a CAMRA award winning pub). Would certainly come again - 5 star mains, but the desserts not quite to the same standard.

I'm known for coming forward if I don't like something, or do for that matter! Not very often I eat everything put in front of me, but the Steak was one of the best I've had. Even the salad had some thought put into it. I mean just look at it, how can you not want to eat that! Fantastic Food

Had dinner here last night. Good menu, reasonably priced and served by very pleasant staff. The dining room is a conservatory but does have a non glass ceiling which makes it kinda cosy.Has a large garden too for dining al fresco.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, food fabulous, service impeccable, lovely friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend roast beef and pork belly cooked to perfection

Brought mother here for lunch and we all had an enjoyable meal. Staff were very pleasant and we didn't have to wait.Selections perhaps not the most exciting - soup of day was tomato, but I had a lovely goat's cheese & beetroot salad starter.We're not great meat eaters, so two of group had fish & chips while I had spinach & mushroom lasagne with salad. Alll very tasty!

In the last couple of weeks the food has gone considerably downhill, however still a lovely pub to go and have a drink at!!

Visited with some friends tuesday evening and had a great meal, I had the homemade garlic stuffed chicken and it was lush, great food and friendly service. Highly recommended

Just love this pub. Great menu choice, not you usual pub classic! Superb service and a roaring fire to warm you on these cold nights.

20 walkers arrived (arranged in advance) at Lunch time on a Friday, made very welcomed, the food was excellent and filling. We are going to put this on our regular stops list.

This pub is beautiful and quaint, thatched with a fire place you can sit in. It is spotlessly clean and obviously well loved by the charming owners. Great for just a pint and some crisps but we had a wonderful lunch with our children. Wholesome home cooking with comfort puddings. Still stuffed four hours later!

Visiting the area and chose this restaurant as reviews suggested ok for gluten free meals. What a delightful experience . A warm , cheery welcome from the staff. We discussed the gluten free choices. The gravy wasn't suitable but the chef produced a lovely alternative sauce to accompany the meal.The starters and roast were delicious, generous portions.

A pub, run by a family embracing traditional values of hospitality and fare, and who appreciate their customers and the Village they live in. The Wheatsheaf provides excellent ale and superb food all served by very polite cheerful bar staff.

This is my daughter's local and we always go here when we visit. As always the food was great with a good choice of local and not so local beers. You must try the Cornish lager. Cannot fault the attentive staff also. Very good value for money.

I have not eaten here yet, however, i call in now and again and always find it warm and friendly. The beer is excellent and the staff are always friendly. I look forward to having a meal here soon.

....but consistency is everything. Lovely people run this place and i went with 4 friends who all had excellent meals but my chicken pie was so poor, so not homemade, it made me want to cry. So i went again, and had the burger. Awesome. I won't forget the awful pie though. Superbly kept beer. Did i mention the pie?

We knew we were passing through the area so we used TA to find a nice place to have a saturday lunch. We were not dissapointed by The Wheatsheaf. The home cooked food was lovely. My wife and I had the salmon with chorizo and herby mash which was beautifully cooked and very tasty. I had the Eton Mess for pudding which was refreshing. I relied on the hostess to recommend one of their real ales and she chose well because it was really nice. A special mention about the service which couldn't have been better. The hostess was very attentive.... nothing was too much trouble for her. We all had a very enjoyable lunch. Oh, almost forgot to mention....the food was very reasonably priced.Unfortunately, we don't pass by this way all that often but I wouldn't mind having The Wheatsheaf as my "local".

Been a couple of times since my last review but the Wheatsheaf continues to shine, providing good service, good food and good beer.This time, with the sun shining, we tried the garden, which had been substantially improved since the last owner. The pub was again not busy (Tues lunch) so service was first rate (owner's nephew). Food was also top notch. We had the pigeon breast salad (which they kindly split into 2 portions for us), followed by the 'pie of the day' (steak in red wine), which my partner said was one of the best she'd had and the liver&bacon (I would have preferred calves liver) washed down with a pint of beer.(PS + properly cooked veg) What more can one ask of a local pub at lunchtime ....So increased my rating to 5* and will of course continue to visit

Lovely welcoming atmosphere nothing to much trouble great small but homecooked menu ourselves and friends reallly enjoyed and excellent value will be returning soon

visite d for lunch,considering it is half pub, it was spotless. sign outside said under new management, young couple very friendly and welcoming, we had soup, very nice, very hot I had belly pork on mash with onion gravy superb, they even made the skin into crackling. My wife had fish and chips enormous portion and perfectly cooked. will definitely return.

Went with my family, had a lovely meal. Even though it was quite late in the evening the food was fresh and the portions huge!The staff were super friendly and very helpful - will definitely go back.

Having read recent reviews about the friendly staff and noticed on The Wheatsheaf's own website an invitation to contact them regarding allergy advice for their menu, I decided to call them to discuss their ability to cater for my daughter who has food allergies. I couldn't have been more disappointed with the response from the member of staff I spoke to. Not only did he fail to make any effort to understand the nature of the allergies, but he couldn't have been less interested in speaking with me, or trying to provide anything that could be described as customer service. It's disappointing to say the least that this business suggests it's happy to talk with you about these issues, when the reality is somewhat different, let alone their lack of compliance with their duties under the Food Information Regulations. Needless to say we'll be eating elsewhere.

We went to The Wheatsheaf in July, and I just can't stop recommending it. Super friendly staff, amazing place, wonderful garden and delicious, tasty food. We are coming back to the pub in October to celebrate an event with some friends, and I am seriously counting down days.

New management was a surprise as this pub seems to changeover each year. Regardless we've always had good family meals here and have always had a good gluten free selection. On this visit the salads were especially delicious. We will be back and hope the current owners (since Jan 2015) make a good go of it. Keep in mind that reviews before Jan are not necessarily relevant to current owners.

Have always liked to call into The Wheatsheaf when in Buckingham but had not done so recently as things had not been good, thought we would try it again after reading online that it had new owners and was again a great little pub, we were not disappointed has been given a new lease of life, friendly staff and a great lunch the steak I had was just so good. Highly recommended. I read only one recent bad review from a person calling themselves Doll 1965 this review just cannot be genuine from it's wording I can only conclude that this is a deliberate attempt to harm The Wheatsheaf business for reasons that I can only guess at.

We visited a few days ago, hadn't been to eat there for years. Conservatory was a little brighter, and the place looked like it had had a freshen up. Pleasant enough staff. Food was not good. Burnt offerings, poor selection, not home cooked desert - chips with everything. Was really hoping for more, had ear marked for big birthday celebration coming up. Now not going to go ahead. Oh dear what a shame.

Had the freshest whole plaice I had eaten for a long time. Went with a group of 12 and everyone's food looked great. Service was excellent, prompt, professional and friendly. And it was all lovely and clean which given that it is an old thatched building with lots of nooks and crannies, was a miracle. It had been a favourite local pub for several of us 'in the old days' and everyone was delighted to see it back in great form under its new management. Busy too so do book!

Enjoyed a meal with 4 generations of the family. Great service and fabulous food - a lovely venue for a family catch up - thank you so much

We went in the afternoon with the children , first visit with the new owners.Excellent food! Garden looks now lovely,clean, very friendly pub and great atmosphere.We will definitely go again soon!

Praise be as the Maids Moreton Leisure Centre is back on track after the somewhat underwhelming efforts of the previous inmates. Have so far only eaten there once but I have it on good authority that all is well on that front ; the beer is excellent and changes rapidly for those with a desire to try many different brews ( I must admit I stick to my favourite siddypockay ) and it's so nice to see happy , smiling faces behind the bar. Just one word of caution - be careful to get the landladies name right as otherwise it can cause some confusion ( doesn't it Susan ?)

As we live in the village, this was our first visit with the new owners ... We were very impressed.. Very friendly staff and lovely food ... What I call a "what village pubs and its food should be"

We went there for an evening meal and every thing was fine .The only down side was the meat pie. A small jug of gravy on the side would have bumped up the score.

Have been to this pub on occassions over the years but tried for the first time today with new owners. Sunday lunch was very good but perhaps too ample for us as we could only manage the two courses. Staff were pleasant and welcoming. Good choice of beers. We will return.

Good food and lots of it. Nice to sit outside and enjoy the peace. Very friendly staff, served with a smile. Thanks!

I was delighted to discover the Wheatsheaf has re-opened as I used to go there quite often. So I took my boyfriend there for his Birthday lunch and was delighted to discover that the lunch was utterly yummy. My fishcake starter was wonderful, he had the steak pie which I liked, too, and my chicken liver salad was unbelievably good. It was great to see it open again and the guys were most charming, will certainly go back there as it's also not far to walk to. Great pub, glad it's back open.

I too am a local and tend to drink here more often than I eat. However I was treated to a wonderful Sunday roast recently (booking essential) and can also recommend the weekday menu. At the moment it's not extensive but everything on it is proper, home cooked food with meat from the local butcher. The owners, Brad and Jo, have exciting plans for the future, too. I'm an ale drinker and there are always at least 4 ales available, a couple of regulars and a couple of interesting guest ales too. Trouble is, they sell so quickly that often they've changed by the next time you go in. At least that ensures the beer is always fresh!Children and (well behaved) dogs are welcomed and if you go on your own there is always someone willing to have a chat. Oh, there's also free wifi so your teenagers can keep snapchatting, or whatever. All in all a lovely atmosphere.

We went for dinner here wanting to try somewhere new. The place was packed and the service was still brilliant very friendly and helpful. We had a starter and main course, portions were a good size so much so with our health appetites we had to pass on pudding but we did get a look and they looked as good ad the first two courses. The quality of the food was really good obviously fresh and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back.

This is our 'local'; but as stated by previous reviews, had found visiting an unpleasant experience under the last couple of management teams.The new team were welcoming, the food (home made burgers) were spot on. It's not trying to be anything other than a good village pub.

Happy, friendly owner and staff. Food delicious and plentiful. I had the Warm Chicken Liver and Smoked Bacon Salad with Walnuts. This came with thrice cooked chips on the side. all delicious and plentiful. The three of us were all pleased with our choices. Will definitely be going back.

Came back to this pub after a while awayIt wasn't busy so the service was spot on. Good beer and some rather good food. My colleague enjoyed his homemade steak pie but my chicken liver and bacon salad was deliciious. Earlier fish cake starters were pretty good as well,A mopst pleaseant lunch. Nice to see you back Wheatsheaf. Will see you again soon.

I used to visit this Pub regularly, it did go through some hard times, but it is a lovely old traditional village pub and I'm pleased to see it is trading successfully again.I shall have to visit and sample the menu soon

Like other reviewers, we visited The Wheatsheaf under previous management and didn't really enjoy it. The owners were, well, odd! Now the pub has a new team, who are warm, welcoming and friendly. In addition they are dog friendly, having their own, so our Max was very welcomed, we were even encouraged to eat in the pub rather than in the garden as the weather was a little chilly. The menu is short but varied and the food is very tasty. We recommend you visit, and enjoy the food alongside the company. We will definitely be returning!

Popped in with a few friends and was instantly greeted with the warmth of this wonderful old pub. The real ale was fantastic, the person in charge of the cellar definitely knew what they were doing. For our meal, I had the steak pie, it was perfect, and not mass produced or from one of the wholesalers. Home made from raw ingredients. Just about fitted a pudding in, as the portions were extremely generous, and not at a high price either. Nevertheless the quality was outstanding. I look forward to visiting The Wheatsheaf again soon.

This lovely local pub has had many changes over the last few years. The new owners have brought initiative and a warm welcome to the place. Food is good and reasonable price. Staff are friendly and nice. Well worth an evening visit or sunday lunch. Make sure you book as very busy.David & Dawn

Popped in on a journey home and was curious following news that it was often fully booked. No problems being served on a Thursday lunch time. We had real pub grub in delightful surroundings. My liver and bacon was perfectly cooked and seasoned, my husbands pie was a delight. We have visited this pub under previous menagements but it was a pleasure to see the interior so cleanly and freshly presented, no wonder booking ahead is sound advice!

Four of us had lunch today at the Wheatsheaf after friends said the place has been given a new lease of life since it changed hands earlier this year. They were right: we all enjoyed our meals very much: they were tasty, the stilton and steak pie was particularly praised as was the liver dish. We all then managed a dessert: all were excellent and served with a choice of cream, custard or icecream. The pub's interior is very cosy in winter: open fires, low headroom and beams aplenty. We ate in the dining extension which is light and airy, overlooking the garden at the rear. If you want a good pub meal in pleasant surroundings at sensible prices then try the Wheatsheaf: it's the best for miles around.
