The Wheatsheaf in Horsham

Had a family birthday party here. Plenty of space with friendly service and lovely food. Big garden which is great for families and groups alike.

Oh wow!!!! What a gem!! Stumbled across this gorgeous quirky village pub and I have fallen in love. Staff are friendly. Whole place is cosy. Food is lovely and reasonably priced. My new favourite place when I travel down from Liverpool

Lovely food and very nice staff would hi recommend

Very large garden area and outdoor seating under shade. Burgers arrived quickly and were scrumptious.

We popped as we have passed this pub regulatly and as it was a sunny afternoon decided to pop in. Absolutely beautiful pub. Outside areas were calming. You can sit outside in the sun but we decided to sit under the grapevines. Food and service was outstanding. Will definitely be coming again.

The food was over priced. It came out cold. Thing's that are clearly stated on the menu came out completely differently. The drinks were only half filled. Will definitely not be returning.

Great place to go for Sunday lunch good atmosphere,good service highly recommended...

First time here with family, absolutely lovely place so relaxing , very good service the outside area reminded me of being abroad. Food was absolutely delicious a little pricey but worth it. (Unfortunately forgot to take photos of the food) But would recommend to anyone.

Lovely sunny day so decided to pop to the Wheatsheaf for something to eat. Our waiter Jack was attentive, friendly, polite and honest. He’s a credit to the wheatsheaf and wherever he goes.

I visited a few weeks back and this is one of those reviews where I really want to score higher because the guy behind the bar (who I think was doing everything on his own that evening) was friendly and provided such quick and attentive service. Unfortunately I was a little bit disappointed with the food. The starters were okay, we had dumplings and the prawn tempura but really wasn't keen on the coconut salsa which was essentially cold coconut milk. The mains (we had a burger and a pie) were, again not bad, but a little underwhelming and since it was food we visited for this is what i have to score on. I will go back for a drink and to see what the outside bar is like in summer but maybe not for food. Oh and this is just personal taste, but the quirky interior that other reviews mention is really not my thing!

Very good sunday roast for fathers day 😋

Great to have this place back open - have been in a couple of times since it's reopened and has been spot on both times. My boys are eagerly anticipating the return of some activity type stuff in the garden!

Food just ok, but very limited menu and very inflexible when it comes to substituting something on your order. I wouldn’t hurry back

We had a lovely lunch here recently, the sun was shining so we were able to enjoy the outside space and bar which is really nice. Friendly staff and great service we will definitely go again.

My husband and I found this pub on a whim. We were late for our table at another pub nearby and we couldn’t get a table any later ….. booked the wheatsheaf online and I am so glad we missed our other reservation! What a wonderful quirky pub with great staff and tasty food! Everything we could have asked for … thanks for such a great lunch! If we lived closer we would definitely visit this place more often!

First visit to this pub and had a lovely evening. Very good service and food. Had the veggie option (think this was the only one, so would be good to see more vegan options on menu in future). Looks like there is a big pub garden so will be back to enjoy in the summer.

Great beer garden friendly staff and good atmosphere

Despite recently taking ownership of the pub, they held an amazing wake for us with approx 60 guests. Fabulous buffet, very attentive and really looked after us.

Poor attitude from new management letting down a pub with great potential. We stopped here for a drink yesterday on the bank holiday Monday, 1st of April hoping for some snacks to enjoy the garden after a nice long walk. Unfortunately the manager, who was serving, refused to serve me chips outside. We were the only people sitting outside and they were unable to accomodate bringing us a plate of chips because "there's no table numbers outside". I stated that we wanted to enjoy the garden and did not wish to sit inside and he still refused to let me buy some snack plates. That's just embarrassing. As someone who has been in service for many years I was embarrassed for the incompetent man who refused me service for snacks. This pub deserves better. The ownership have clearly put effort into it and it deserves a manager who is more intelligent, amenable and less of a jobsworth.

Fabulous afternoon! Sitting in the sunshine ☀️ listening to Charlie Cooper playing his acoustic set. What a talent! The food was delicious and the friendly family atmosphere was great. The children really enjoyed the music too - dancing away. The perfect way to spend Easter Saturday 🥂

Great food and service. A bit chilly in the room we were in and two chairs need attention

We went here yesterday Saturday 23rd for lunch after hearing it's changed hands. And we are so glad we decided to go back. The food was beautiful and lovely service. Can wait to go back.

Small menu but delicious food! Very friendly staff 😁 New menu this week which is excellent!!

A Gem of a pub, Amazing food in a beautiful location

You can’t pass this place on a Sunday without trying their roast dinner out! Amazing food and definitely coming back. Great work guys love it

Food was very very nice and a Nice setup inside as well

First time visit. Excellent roast so tasty x Lovely staff made very welcome .Will definitely visit againx

Only went for beer so can’t comment on the food but it looked okay.

Ate some food and had a couple of beers here earlier. Highly recommended, friendly staff and the food was fantastic. If anyone knows me I'm the first to complain or find faults but I can't with this place. A complete 10/10 from me!

Wife took me out for dinner to try out pub under new owners and I was amazed by how nice the food was Staff were amazing and really was service with smile Food was hot ,very tasty and reasonably priced Will be back very soon to try the other dishes

Really friendly traditional pub, great food and great beer love this place already. Staff really nice too.

Really well produced food and service, good menu, great service. Worth a visit

Had a wonderful meal in the Wheatsheaf since it being reopening by the new owners. The service was friendly and the food was fantastic! Looking forward to coming back soon.

Lovely pub. Friendly staff and good food.

Lovely place. Would love to visit this place in the summer and sit in their beer garden ❤️

Really nice pub. Went for a drink and some food on a Friday evening: Landlady was super friendly and welcoming, pub has a relaxed atmosphere, and the food was good. We’ll visit again when the weather gets a bit warmer. Maybe just slightly leas raw onion to garnish the food and salads- not everyone loves them and they can detract from the taste. But otherwise excellent!

What a lovely little country pub! Food is lovely and reasonably priced. Service went above and beyond to help- very friendly. Location is stunning. Would highly recommend

Wonderful food and drink in warm surroundings.100% recommended.

Thinks its a massive mistake closing the kids play area😞. Cannot see me going again

Not impressed with this pub, when I went there few years ago it was a lovely pub with lovely lunch menu where you can sit in the garden, I turned up today with some friends following online saying it was open and it said “closed for maintenance” which was very disappointing, I couldn’t see anything happening to the pub and didn’t notify when the pub will be open again!

Wow the food was good but not what I am use to get from at that price

We stopped for some food at this pub due to being in the area for the Leonardlees light show (which I also highly recommend) and the pub was an absolute gem of a find! Even if the food hadn't been as good as it was, I would still give 5 stars anyway for the exemplary customer service by the young gentleman serving us, he is a massive credit to employers and really made us feel welcome. The food was great and generously portioned, and we were sat right by the cosy fire. The pub was vegan friendly, family friendly, dog friendly and the food was delicious! A well deserved 5 stars all round, we will definitely return another time.

We had a Christmas dinner here, 2 courses, what lovely friendly staff, nice warm cosy pub, and the meal was delicious. We will go again!

Visited 14 Dec 22 as we were passing and wanted lunch. Very friendly and helpful chap called Connor behind the bar. He seemed to be working the bar on his own. He showed us to a table straight away - we were given options of where we could sit. We were also given menus, including festive one and told about exceptions and specials, etc.. We ordered drinks, and I had the plum porter from a local brewery - Kissingate. It was divine. We ordered the turkey dinner, and this was served to us pretty quickly. It was all served inside a large Yorkshire pudding, and the portion was very generous. We also had a dessert, which was also served quickly. It was nice and tasty, and the veg were not cooked to a mush, which was nice. The atmosphere was nice, there was a nice open fire and the place was nicely decorated for Christmas. Pretty good value, too, with 2 2-course Christmas meals and drinks coming in at just over £50. From our experience, we will visit again and recommend this place to others.

Very enjoyable lunch, and the landlady has a lovely sense of humour...👍

A great country pub with friendly staff and delicious food. I highly recommend the fisherman’s pie.

Been promising ourselves a visit for far too long. Finally did so and not disappointed by the lunchtime visit. The gardens are great with a vine canopy if you wish some shade. The food was good and plentiful. Options for gluten free are also available. Worth a visit!!

Quirky pub, nice inside and large garden area. Tasty food apart from childrens mac and cheese was low quality, it was not eaten.

Nice pint of Harvey's. Very nice chicken and bacon panini.

Really nice food, good service and Pepsi was very friendly!

A lovely pub, serving excellent food.

Good food and good price for typical pub food.

Food was fantastic, highly recommend the ribs!

It was quite well. Really loved the Eton Mess

Food was great fresh cooked to order good size portion staff helpful and recommended for our next visit was the liver & bacon or fish and chips which will take photos of and upload. Thank you for 2 brilliant meals again on our 2nd visit

Sadly, very disppointing. Having visited a number of times over the years, we were very disappointed. The kids play area is no more, the outside seating area was spacious, but more like a graveyard for old benches. And there was a discarded bag of dog poo in one of the borders. In the past, the food had been excellent pub grub, but now, it was more akin to something you could make at home, and far more cheaply. I ordered the fish finger on toasted ciabatta with chips, expecting something more than frozen fish fingers (2 of them) in a shop bought ciabatta, that had been nowhere near a toaster. The chips again looked store bought. I understand it's been a very tough few years for hospitality, and with the current cost of living crisis it will continue to be tough, but a lunch out is supposed to be a treat, and I expected far better, not something I could have made at home and eaten in the garden with a beer!

Food was average it took ages to get food I will never come back to this pub

Proper country pub with an absolutely amazing interior, friendly staff and great beer.

Great pub garden and good food and drink. Worth a visit on a summers day

Lovely pub lovely people x Thanks for the cola on a very hot day 😊👌

Had a great time there friendly and a lovely outside area .which was nice in our hot weather

Good good, good beer, good service, reasonable price

Lovely venue, ok service, mediocre food

Brilliant food and service. Prices were very reasonable. Wii be revisiting again soon.

Lovely food and a lovely land lady

Great food and a excellent service

Absolutely loved pub really nice place. The food on the other hand is absolutely s**t My other half's chicken was dry a chewy. 3 kids meals were vile one if them was pizza beans and chips and the pizza looked worse then a tesco 40p value one. And to top it off we was over charged on the menu prices pint of harveys was £4.50 on the menu I paid £5 and the cheap fruit shoots were 1.90 on the menu we was charged 2.20. When I brought it up nothing was done to change it. I would avoid this place like the plauge . We will never be coming back ! Also dog poo all over the garden not great for the kids ! Avoid!!!

Food was good and reasonably priced

Beautiful pub ,lovely food friendly helpful staff

Lovely pub with fabulous terrace and very helpful staff.

Beautiful pub ,lovely attentive friendly staff ,highly recommend English pub in a delightful location

Lovely dog friendly pub. Great staff. Very attentive. Service was quick and efficient. Food was lovely.

Lovely country pub. Beautiful garden and the food was delicious. Will be back again soon

Nice venue but the food and service was very disappointing.. Only half the starter arrived, by the time the garlic bread turned up the breaded Brie was cold, no offer to keep the Brie warm while we waited. One of the three mains was the wrong order and the child’s pizza turned up cold. We all ended up eating at different times and still paid full price at the end - disaster! Nice place for a drink but I’d never dine there again.

Friendly, great service and excellent food as always.

Nice pub, great staff, good food

Nice place nice people and great food

We stopped here just by chance to get something to eat. Would definitely visit again. Very welcoming staff. Loved the decor. Felt like a pub should instead of the big chain pubs. We ordered a ploughmans and a chilli. We both enjoyed our food alot..Highly recommended

Very nice little pub with nice seating both indoors and outdoors for all weather. Their menu is very tasty too. I thoroughly recommend the brie, bacon, and cranberry ciabatta served with chips for lunch. The wild mushroom soup is also good, but quite salty so make sure to have plenty of beer!

Went there to meet friends. Friendly staff who gave welcome. Food standard pub grub which was nicely cooked. OK if your passing or have a reason.

Lovely country pub very pretty We only went for a drink but the Food looked Amazing. Garden is huge plenty of room and some Entertainment for the older child ie table football and pool table.

It was lovely and friendly good food as well

On the day me and my friend went for a walk , And we saw this pub while we were sitting in the garden having our drink we saw this animals coming out it was amazing.

Very.. Good.. As ................................. .

Lovely friendly welcome. Excellent service. Good variety of selections on the menu. Choices well presented. Fabulously relaxing atmosphere on the terrace. Will be back soon.

What fun set up. Full of stuffed creatures. Nice landlady and the pub food was wholesome and nicely prepared. But no olive oil for salad? Stumbled on the place by chance and might well return.

Great food great lovely pub right price

We passed this on our way out this morning and decided to give it a try for lunch on our way back. Lovely food, friendly staff and plenty of space to sit in or outside. Very pleased we stopped here.

A little out of the way, but we'll worth a trip. Great food, friendly bar staff. My only complaint, a little too many things adorning the walls, making it feel a little busy and claustrophobic

Food great. Unfortunately they dont have a play area for toung kids anymore but well worth a visit.

I've lived in the Crawley area for many years and driven past this place loads of times. This time we took the plunge and I'm so pleased we did. The food was lovely the place itself is full of character and the bar staff were lovely and really attentive, nothing was to much trouble. I'll be back.

One amazing place the staff was very nice and food will blow u away I would 100% will recommend to friends and family 10 out of 10

lovely old pub with some very quirky ornaments !!

Lovely pub and great food. Staff were amazing especially Heidi our waitress. Will definitely return.

Lovely meal, very attentive staff. Especially our waitress Heidi who couldn't do enough for us. Look forward to returning.

Lovely pub, great food and Heidi our waitress was amazing!

Very nice country pub with good specials and very homely atmosphere. The fast road traffic can shake the building sometimes, but this can't be helped.

My other half and I came here for a Valentines Date. We have been driving past this pub for 2 years saying we really should go here and I have to say we weren't disappointed. Atmosphere- The first thing is the decor, it has a very warm and homey atmosphere. It does have a very unique vibe. I checked for dust in various locations and beyond an absolutely normal level, I was hard pressed to find anything substantial. This pub (FOH) certainly appears cleaned well. Another aspect I liked was the ability for people to bring their dogs in. I love a Pub/Free House that is welcoming to our four legged friends. I know some people get very annoyed by this but I don't so it added to the general mood having them calmly go around. The food- I had no issue with anything served. I had the Prawns starter and the Bacon and Cheese Burger (Yes, not very creative choices haha) The Prawns and the Salad served with it tasted fresh and not frozen which is a big sin a lot of places commit. The Burger had very nice Beef and wasn't too greasy which too often is the case at other establishments. The Staff- We felt welcomed and there was an attentiveness to our needs. We came in and got welcomed, once seated we ordered our food and even after serving they would frequently check if everything was okay and check up on us. Going back to my comparison a lot of other places will seat you and as soon as you get your food they will forget about you and prioritise new customers coming in. It made it feel like even after they had our money they still cared that we enjoyed the food and made sure we didn't need anything else. To the staff both FOH and Kitchen thank you for enabling a nice evening. We enjoyed our visit and will return in the future.
