The Wheatsheaf Inn in Monmouthshire

Excellent pub with good quality food and drinks. Friendly staff and great environment and decor. Highly recommend to everyone

Had a lovely evening meal that fitted us in although fully booked thank you Peaple need to try this place nice peaple running the place very close to my hoyel

I regularly drink in the 'sheaf, but haven't had food there in ages. The 10oz ribeye was cooked perfectly, plenty of sides, attentive staff and a very nice house Merlot Complemented my meal.

Great food. Vegetarian option was excellent too. The service was 1st class and the band were really very good indeed. Fantastic Sunday lunch. Would highly recommend.

Excellent all round. Service good and drinks. Very popular. Always courteous and obliging to customers. Large selection of home coked food and good selection of wine, beer and spirits. Lovely cosy village pub

This has been my local for more than 40 years and we had Sunday lunch to celebrate my wife’s birthday. As always the staff were attentive and polite but with that friendliness that is the Wheatsheaf. The traditional Sunday roast was excellent, but better still was the pan fried pollack in a lemon caper sauce - stunning. Thanks to you all.

An excellent waitress attended to our order of main course and drinks. Whilst my companion's burger with sides was good, my stroganoff was strange (red in colour) and having a horrible barbecue sauce flavour, no cream (like) or onion, used. They only needed to say "apologies, we don't have the correct ingredients today; would you like... (x) instead." Not good cheffing.

This is a brilliant pub, both for food and drinks. The different rooms offer a varied experience depending on what you're after. Restaurant area for food, lounge area for a quiet drink, games area for pool and darts or TV area for watching sports. Food is fantastic, the bombay chicken burger is amazing and needs to stay on the menu. Good priced drinks for a village pub too. Will absolutely return.

Myself and my husband had a lovely Sunday lunch yesterday. We both ordered the beef which was cooked exactly to our liking (pink) and loads of it, accompanied with home made yorkies, roast potatoes, swede & potato mash and plenty of greens, all piping hot! Didn't think we could manage a dessert but glad we did! Homemade apple crumble and custard, yummy! The staff were very attentive and friendly, what more could you ask for? Fab food and staff. Thank you to all x

Great local that serves good food. Popped in for lunch on Good Friday. Glad to see it was busy . Always good choice of beers . Enjoyed lunch and one of the best places in the area.

The food was fair value, good but nothing special. The experience was spoiled by not being given a table in the area we booked which meant we could not hear ourselves speak over the tv(s)

Great atmosphere - great food and great attentive service 😄👏 We booked in advance - the table was ready for us on arrival- drinks 🍺 order taken and served quickly whilst we reviewed the menu - thank you

The whole experience was l great the staff are friendly and the food is wonderful we will definitely be going back and the sooner the

Excellent meal for a birthday celebration. Restaurant was very busy but staff were very attentive & welcoming. Special mention to Eloise, for being so bubbly & friendly. All of our food was delicious, well presented & piping hot. Ribeye steak was absolutely delicious & would rival any steak restaurant. Highly recommended!

Great service Eloise great food John and Co Absolutely fantastic. Sreak cooked to perfection food excellent congrats everyone 👏 ❤️

Myself and 30 other people booked this facility for our Sunday lunch at the end of a bowls tour and right from the first moment the staff made us all welcome. The food was excellent and the location was perfect for our group. We loved our visit and hopefully we will be using this pub again in the near future

A fantastic Sunday lunch with our friends from the Bridgend Municipal Bowls Club to end our weekend away. Superb service and excellent quality food. I’m sure we will be back. Thank you.

Went for Sunday lunch. Really good menu, lots of choice in starters, mains and dessert all home made and food was outstanding.

An appalling meal - it was a Monday night. Received a nice welcome, though the staff did not even know what beers were available on tap which was understandable as they were students doing a holiday job. Ordered our meal but it was dire. To start, the calamari were served with seafood sauce, not tartare. Strange. Our main meal arrived on stone cold plates. The Beef and Ale pie itself was very good and hot enough at the start, as were the potatoes. However, the Puff Pastry crust was uncooked, a soggy mess. The beans and peas, good, but only warm thanks to the cold plate. The manager offered not to charge for the meal but, as we had eaten most of it, that was not appropriate. The only explanation for the disaster was that the person in charge of the kitchen was totally inexperienced and inept.

Me and my friends were on a bike ride when we decided to come in the wheatsheaf for a pint ( water ) and the best waiter called Matty served us the best water ever good on you Matty 🫡

Arrived at pub, surprised car park (Tuesday), parked in one of the village car park, only a short walk back to pub. Rest of party already at table. As soon as seated a staff member asked if we wanted drinks. The menu contained all the classic starters and mains as well as a good selection of steaks we all had various starter and mains, mine was fish day, whitebait and then cold and chips, a nice touch, garden or mushy pea. All plates cleaned. The eating was full, yet the wait for courses was good. A enjoyable evening. I would say always book

Very unpleasant experience. Miserable staff. Unpleasant toilets and overpriced drinks. Can’t believe the other reviews have been made by real customers!

This could be the best Sunday lunch I have had in a pub or restaurant, ever. They were so busy but shifted furniture and made us so welcome. Lovely place to spend a couple of hours and eat really well. Thank you.

Despite the pub being inundated with people who only patronise the pub on special occasions the staff looked after the regulars to an excellent level of service. Well done as usual- the Sea Fury was superb!

Nice,clean pub. A great selection of food on the menu. Including a range of vegetarian burgers. Nice not to be limited to one option as a vegetarian!! Food was lovely. Great service. Good value for money.

A great selection of beers are to be had here, along with gins and other spirits too. Not only this but it's a lovely place to eat too!

Gorgeous food followed by beautiful staff and owners who can’t do enough for you and make for a great experience. Highly recommend.

Despite the fact that lunch had finished we were welcomed and ate a delicious pub lunch, two courses for £12.95. Great bruschetta, lasagne, beef pie in this pretty pub 5 minutes drive from the M4. We will return

Booked an outside table due to having dogs with us. Fabulous meal and lovely service. The food was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented, highly recommended

Last Saturday we managed to get out of the house for a change for some pub food. It was a super evening, the initial greeting and end to end service was spot on. The food exceeded expectations, both with the steak and other food we...

Had a lovely meal here one evening. 3 course meal in a pleasant rustic public house/restaurant. Good quality food and drinks at reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

This venue is perfect for a family Sunday lunch, the food was out of this world, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The belly pork is a must! It will definitely be our first restaurant choice when we return to visit our family...

Super food staff well-mannered and a credit to themselves and the Wheatsheaf We recommend the maulteaser cheesecake!!

Before Covid-19 restrictions, would eat here regularly (and enjoy a couple of drinks!) with family and friends. It's a nice village pub with good, unpretentious pub grub, decent selection of draft beers, and an unpretentious, friendly atmosphere. Currently doing a classic burger/fries AND a pint...

Enjoyed a great meal at this pub. The young staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend the homemade puddings.

I’ve come in this evening, to be greeted by pleasantly warm decor. A very friendly young man showed us to a table and immediately asked us what we would like to drink. They left us to take a look at the menu for 10-15 mins and didn’t seem to want to get us in and out in a rushed fashion. This was great as many places do adopt this behaviour. The food didn’t take long to come and the waitress’s served us with a smile. We had the burger and a beer deal which was absolutely fantastic! 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone looking for some good food with good service and good vibes.

Beautiful and cosy pub. Very attentive staff, well looked after. The meals were outstanding. Steak was cooked to perfection. Sticky toffee pudding was beautiful. I highly recommend this place.

Was just greated at the pub by a Foul-mouthed rude woman, who has no need to speak to the public in such a way, I for one will never go there to be spoken to in such a nasty way, its a wonder she has any customers.

Hadn’t been here for years and was pleasantly surprised. Needed to book the table as the place was full on a Friday night. Service was good, very attentive, food was excellent and wine equally so.

Prebooked table for 2 on a busy Saturday evening. Food was lovely! Staff were efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Have eaten here several times and it’s always been okay without being exceptional. Last night was a disaster. We had an early evening booking and as the menus arrived we were told that all of the steaks were off. They are a significant element of the menu and at least two of us had mentally already chosen steak. The pub was very busy. It was busy last week end as I couldn’t get a table. So not a one off then on the demand side: whomever is ordering the food needs to rethink their approach.So to the wine. The bottle arrived at the table open. I hate that. I want to feel sure that I am drinking what I have paid the markup to drink. The waiting staff may be young but surely they can be trained to open a bottle at the table.So to the food. Again mostly ok without being either exciting or exceptional. That is except for the gammon steak. Exceptional in the sense that it was cooked like a piece of crispy bacon: completely dry with blackened edges. I don’t do complaining these days as I don’t have the energy. I paid up and we left.Unless there are changes: best avoided when they are busy I’d say.

We have stopped at the Wheatsheaf twice just off the M4 at Magor instead of enduring corporate Motorway Services. It is a delightful traditional cosy British pub. A good menu reasonably priced and food is of a good standard. Very welcoming young lady who served us who was very efficient and friendly and had a lovely sense of humour too. We will be back again soon.

We had a table reserved in the restaurant for a group of ten and my little grandson. The pub was packed as expected but the service was excellent. The food was delicious as ever, and a fresh barrel of Export was in place to make the whole evening a great start to Christmas. The staff were extremely busy but did a great job keeping everyone fed and watered.

Food really nice & reasonably priced.staff were very pleasant. Parking can be a problem, we had to park down street.

I visited the Wheatsheaf 2 weeks ago with a works group of 14 and we waited from 6pm until approx 9.30 with no sign of dessert order being taken. 10 people left as they were fed up of waiting, most saying they would not return. I returned there again tonight for a family meal and had almost the exact same experience, waited ages for main then no one came to take dessert menu although lots of staff walking back and fore clearing tables. In the end we paid and left without desserts or coffee. Very disappointing as we have visited on over 12 occasions before and had excellent food and service. Would definitely think twice about visiting anytime soon, especially if for a special occasion. The food is always very good but sadly the service is some of the slowest I’ve seen!

We frequently pop here on our little country walks but usually for drinks only.Last week week, we stayed for food. We had already walked 5 miles through ankle deep water in some cases, so really needed a little bit of sanctuary.The Steak from the specials board was excellent, and the Chicken with an Italian style tomato sauce. OMG gorgeous.As it was a weekday, we tried their Autumn/Winter cocktails menu- excellent value and really top class drinks. This pub/restaurant always has something new up it's sleeve, so if you think you've seen it all before, please keep going there and find out what's going on. It's brilliant.Well done to all the management and staff at Wheatsheaf Inn Magor

Had a birthday event here with a group of 4 kids and 8 adults. The staff were fabulous and capable and there were no mistakes or mishaps at all. Food was delicious and good portion sizes and really good value too. Will 100% return.

All the staff are well trained and confident. It reflects in everything they do. A good selection of real ales and lagers, cider and wines. The menu includes all you would expect from a village pub and is excellent and moderately priced. Cheaper menu if you order before 19.00. All round a very happy and successful meeting place.

Excellent attention to detail for our party (40+ people), drinks were very reasonably priced. Everyone had pre chosen their 2 course meals in advance, service was amazing, food excellent - piping hot and was served to everyone in a very quick time scale. Highly recommended is the homemade steak and ale pie it was scrummy! Very accommodating staff and management - fantastic evening with delicious food! Definitely we will be back

We were a large party of 12. Not a problem for the Wheat sheaf. They are so well organised. All the meals came out together , the beef and lamb were excellent. Paid extra for cauli cheese and roast parsnips, but worth it. Thank you to the staff for looking after us so well

Needed to feed 12 people for £20 a head and they did us proud. Wine was decent and so was the beer. Pity I don't live nearer!

We stopped over in Magor on our way into Wales for a holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our first dinner out at this lovely pub. Really glad we went. The best vegetarian dish was the mushroom stroganoff and the best meat dish was to try Welsh faggots - meatballs served with a gravy, vegetables and potatoes. And of course all the drinks at the bar you would want to choose. Very friendly staff too! Sorry didn't take camera along to photograph the delicious dishes, but I'm sure others will.

I visited the Wheatsheaf recently with my boyfriend. This pub was actually our third choice for dinner but we ended up here as the other restaurants were fully booked...VERY glad that it turned out this way! The staff were very friendly and helpful and every single dish we ordered was delicious! We both ordered the French burger and I can say it was hands down the best burger I’ve ever eaten! The calamari starter was also shockingly good. Smaller restaurants tend to not cook squid well but this pub isn’t one of them, it was incredible! Neither of us had high expectations as we thought we would get basic pub grub and although the menu does reflect more of a traditional pub menu the quality of the food is out of this world! We would 100% recommend eating here and will definitely be back ourselves.

I went to Sunday dinner here for the first time. They didn’t have their Sunday dinner menu on their website. It was perfect for people who eat meat but not for vegetarians. There was plenty of vegetarians dishes for starters but there was only one main meal option. It was chickpea and sweet potato curry. It was so spicy you couldn’t even taste the potatoes or anything else. Only having one vegetarian option isn’t enough. They could at least have vegetarian gravy so we could have a roast with no meat.

This is our local pub and the food here is excellent. There was a group of six and most went for the steak option which is always delicious. The food is always cooked perfectly and presented well. The fish option which I had was exceptional and served with the tastiest sautéed potatoes. An excellent evening!

Excellent menu, pleasant surroundings with helpful staff. Prices varied but offered a great choice. Food quality and presentation great, highly recommended

Great traditional pub , with proper pub grub! Not a slate plate or unconstructed dessert in sight. Great find! Quality dishes , well presented and great value for money.

We’ve had the pleasure of having food at the wheatsheaf numerous times and it is always great food. The staff are friendly and attentive and the food is fresh. Never had a bad meal regardless of what day we have visited. Great food. Great pub.

Driving from Dewstow Gardens back to Porthcawl looking for somewhere for lunch went through Magor and purely by chance took a left off the main road and found The Wheatsheaf. Excellent food and great staff, glad we found it allbut accidently. Highly recommend. Signpost from main road could have made it easier but maybe you want to keep this gem secret.

Came here 2 days running while being away for work. Friendly staff really looked after me, making me feel very welcome. Food was excellent pub grub and beer was from a local brewery and again excellent.

We were very please with our lunch experience here at the Wheatsheaf it was our second visit with my wife’s elderly aunt. She says it is now one of her favourite places for lunch so we will definitely come again.

Visited The Wheatsheaf on May Bank Holiday Monday. Good choice. Four in our group, we had Chicken curry with Rice and Fries, Fish cakes and two of us had the Beef lasagne with Fries, puddings we had chocolate brownie, cheesecake and profiteroles. We all enjoyed our meal and would return, in fact two of us are returning on Sunday with other guests for Sunday lunch. Service at this pub was friendly and efficient. All the food was presented well, tasty and good value for money. Plenty of choice on the menu. Wine and drinks were good too. A special accolade for lovely clean polished wine glasses, so many pubs get this wrong. Thank you to the landlord and his team.

Just finished our main course, mine was pork belly with fennel, hubby had Lamfantastic, it was lovely and hot as we're the side accompaniment of vegetable. Profiteroles to follow, can't wait.

Nice, traditional pub with a good selection of meals and drinks. Good atmosphere and reasonable prices.

We had a lovely meal here, the rib eye steak was brill. Only complaint the waiter came to remove my plate when I was still eating but apart from that lovely food, friendly place and would definitely recommend.

Went to the Wheatsheaf for Mother’s Day with the family and had and excellent meal. The service was good and the staff could not do enough for you. Clancy family

We celebrated my son's 18th Birthday with 28 of our family and friends. With a large group The Wheatsheaf didn't put a foot wrong.

Me and my family decided to come to the wheatshef for Sunday dinner.. on arrival we was greeted by a lovely gentleman that swiftly showed me my table, as I sat down the waitress approached me asking if I’d like a high chair.. and I explained my son was asleep so might grab one later.. she then went out of her way to put one aside for me just in case they ran out! I thought that was fantastic! We were then presented the menus by a lovely waitress Bethan that was polite and consistent with everything, the order our meals and our drinks! Food was fabulous and service was brilliant! Thank you for a lovely Sunday meal!!!

Food is always lovely and with very good portions, there's a nice atmosphere in the restaurant and lounge too. Staff are always nice and nothing is too much trouble. we visit when ever we can. they also do a fab day time menu, Defo worth a visit

Though we live in the area we went to this pub for the first time on New Year’s Day.

We booked a table of 4 the Sunday before Christmas & we weren’t disappointed. Although the pub was extremely busy the service was excellent, we were shown to our table & the lovely waitress immediately took our drinks order. The Sunday lunch was extremely good, excellent quality beef was perfectly cooked served with a nice selection of piping hot vegetables. We were entertained by a local band “My Tin Monkey” who played for 3 hours. We had a very enjoyable afternoon and would definitely go back.

We were a party of nine including four children. We hadn't visited before and were unsure what to expect. We found the pub warm, friendly with lovely staff despite the place being full (so glad we had booked a table!) and the waitresses rushed off their feet. The food was hot, tasty and all in all excellent value. Portions were good, in fact the chocolate brownie was huge! Can't speak highly enough of the venue. The Sunday before Christmas was very, very busy and still the waitresses came back and fore smiling and greeting everyone with a friendly greeting. We chose the area because it was a good half way place for family to meet up and exchange Christmas presents and we will certainly do so again.

First time we have tried an 'event ' night at the Wheatsheaf. Booked a few weeks in advance for Beaujolais night. The dining room was full and candles on all the tables added to the lovely warm atmostphere. We were a table of 4 . All ordered the French onion soup. This was so.....good . Really tasty cheese crouton on top. Followed by beef bourguignon. The food was excellent. and way above average. A large glass of Beaujolais was also included in the set price. The service was also excellent. Everything served with a smile . We will definitely book for another Specialist night. Thank you for a great evening

We are regulars here! The food is always of a good standard and is very reasonably priced. Traditional pub fare. It’s always our go-to pub when we are feeling lazy and want dinner out. Very family friendly - much more so than the other pub in the village. Whenever we have visitors, we come here. Great selection of real ales and gins. My only negative feedback is the location of the pool table in the main bar. When it’s busy and you want to play, people stand too close to the table. My husband and son were playing recently and people were not respecting the fact they were playing, which upset my son. Have the table removed if people don’t have adequate room to play. A couple of free games when it’s quiet wouldn’t go amiss.

Went here for drinks place was lively with lots of people eating and drinking didn't eat hear ourselves but food coming out of the kitchen looked good

Just popped in for lunch, looking for new venue locally, just a quick bar meal. FANTASTIC as an enthusiastic carnivore I don't normally go for meat free, but was strangely drawn to the Falafel, hummus and pepper ciàbatta. Fantastic flavours, fresh, lovely bread, nicely dressed side salad. Wifey had Butternut and veg soup and really enjoyed it too.

My partner and I visited on Sunday for a roast dinner. My partner is a meat eater and I am vegan, but I certainly didn't miss out! The vegan roast was extremely tasty and came with all the trimmings you would expect. And, if you didn't fancy a roast, they even had a vegan chilli amd curry available. Lovely food and great service - would definitely recommend to all! Yummy!

Had my first date here with my Girlfriend 6 years ago. Decided to come back to celebrate our engagement on 4th August 2018.

My last recent review concerned a hotel in Cork whose customer service excelled. This was matched by this pub. There was a long delay between starter and main which was never fully explained but once the error was spotted the staff went way beyond what I would have expected to put the matter right....and by the way the food when it came was excellent.I could not ask for more.

It's been a while since we dined at the Wheatsheaf and this was an ad-hoc visit after a busy day. Portion size was good, the steak was cooked just right, plenty of garlic butter and frites perfect!

This is really the only serious pub in Magor for real ale, normally 4 hand pumps with a good varied selection he pub always has a good vibe and a mix of ages frequenting.

This is my local, and we had a friend stay at the weekend, so we had an evening meal in the restaurant. On the "specials" menu was Salmon Nicoise, which I chose. However I asked if I could swap the salad for garlic mash. This was done without any fuss, and I was served with the most delicious piece of salmon I have had in a long time. The garlic mash was excellent, and the meal was served with a creamy tarragon sauce. The meals that my wife and our friend had were equally delicious and they both enjoyed the food, but believe me I had the best deal! To make it even better I had a couple of pints of Evan Evans Warrior, a real ale straight from the barrel. All in all an excellent evening.

Sunday roast is tasteless, very underwhelming and stingy. Bar man was weird and abrupt and the waitresses were poorly trained school girls. They were on their phones a lot and talked under their breath to one another. Won’t be rushing back.
