The Wheatsheaf Inn Restaurant in Carlisle

Visited a few times between July and September. Only in September did we manage to actually book to have food due to you having to call them to book, but the phone not being answered on several occasions. Food was ok, nothing special.....unless you're a football fan and don't mind eating under a TV screen whilst everyone is staring at you!! Not in a rush to return to what is very much a locals only vibe

Brilliant atmosphere and friendly service with great food

Have stopped for a drink here numerous times. Finally booked a table for evening meal, the good did not disappoint! Beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The staff are friendly and attentive and the pub has a lovely atmosphere. Will become regulars here I'm sure!

A great pub with excellent quality beer that served better than average food. Staff are very friendly and make the place rather special.

Called in on spec and was found a table ok. Had the lamb shoulder roast, absolutely beautiful. Well cooked, nice veg all hot and tasty served by very friendly and attentive staff. Drinks were good and reasonable price. Excellent place. Best to book. Think we were lucky to get a table.

Really tasty roast dinner outside in the sun. Much nicer atmosphere outside! Would recommend. Roast was about £16

Amazing food the best in the area! Definitely recommend it if you are in this part of Lake District. Very friendly and helpful staff. 5 stars ⭐️

Book a table, this super little pub gets busy. Food delicious! Called in on speck and managed to get a table, but before we had finished eating they were turning people away. Had plaice off the specials board and cod loin served with crab risotto. Goodness this chef can cook fish! It was perfect. Can recommend. Saw lots of lovely dishes coming out of the kitchen, all prepared with care. Thanks for a super evening.

Excellent food from an extensive menu ranging from pub grub to more interesting choices. Well-kept local beers. Attentive and pleasant service.

Great food & friendly staff/atmosphere

great food and a really good menu. will defo be back to try the rest

Had a lovely lunch today (Friday). Friendly staff, clean loos, excellent food. I had the lamb shoulder, hubby the fish & chips, both scrummy! Will return next time we are in the area.

If you want a genuine village pub with character real ale and superb food this is where you should go. There is a fantastic lunchtime menu including a specials board as well as sandwiches and smaller portions. Great value for money. The pub was busy with most tables occupied and people sitting at the bar having a lunchtime drink which made a nice atmosphere. The food was excellent as was the polite, friendly and efficient staff. Well done The Wheatsheaf i'll be back!

Friday lunch with friends .. another visit to the Wheatsheaf and as usual it didn’t disappoint. Friendly staff, great beer and a fantastic lunch. Ham hock starter was fabulous😃, and the ever faithful gammon cooked to perfection👍. Back again soon for another visit!

We were all made to feel very welcome. Especially our dogs

Good service, excellent food & friendly atmosphere.

Excellent food and service, cozy atmosphere and very clean toilets. Will be back

Sunday Lunch a complete dissapointment. Cumbrian Sirloin tough as old boots. The Yorkshire puddings were burnt black. Complaint to young Waitress received no feedback or response from kitchen.

Brilliant pub. Such good food. It's tremendous

Fabulous main courses and the garlic bread unbelievablly tasty (not many places do good garlic bread probably).

Great little pub friendly staff & local people thank you for the hospitality much appreciated for an out of towner and great selection of beers

Just like today a big thank you to all the staff for a fantastic meal and service

We hadn't booked. But managed to get us in. Would highly recommend the Gammon

Visited on a recommendation from a local. Friendly staff and dogs welcome which is always good. Beer was good but this place is tiny and crammed. We couldn't enjoy our drinks because of the volume of people shoving past trying to find seats or get to the bar. Nowhere to sit or even stand - it's possibly better in the summer when you can sit outside but is on a very busy road with lots of fast traffic.

Great little local pub. We popped in for a visit and were made to feel very welcome (as were our 4 legged family members). Cosy and warm with open fires, great ales and football on the telly. What more could you want?!?!

Very busy pub that serves food, pleasant staff, As this is a pub the table space is very limited and cramped.we were on table 4 tight for space and not comfortable. The food we had was not great. Chicken dish laced with raw garlic, ruining the taste of the dish. The steak pie had burned pastry top and some of the meat was very dark colour from overheating.The peas were lukewarm.The trio of desserts were ok as long as you like chocolate and if you are going to serve them on the same platter then dont pour the sauce on as they are all tasting of one thing only. Spoke to the young lady serving us about our concerns and got a smile and that was it. Staying local and will not be back.

Called in after staying at a hotel nearby. A friendly welcoming locals pub. With a welcoming bar staff, friendly regulars and good pint of Guinness.

I had some time to kill, fending off boredom I headed the the Wheatsheaf. What a wonderful pub! Friendly locals and excellent staff. I came in myself and the locals / regulars were quick to accept me into their company and chat away. Next time I’m in the village I’ll happily pop back in!

Çozy wee place, friendly atmosphere, dog friendly, good choice of beers, spirits, wines etc, friendly, helpful bar staff, indoor and outdoor seating, good menu.

This is very much a village PUB rather than a restaurant. Not a place to go if you want a quiet meal. But a great place if you want to socialise.

Can't fault the food , friendliness. If one niggle ,though nobody at fault ,it can be a nightmare to park

Great food, service and atmosphere. It's great to see a busy pub. If you're into your desserts try the salted caramel brownie. Very tasty.

A great country pub spacious Good selection real ales. Friendly staff.

Fablous staff very attentive .Excellent food.

Good village pub. Me and my wife came to wetheral for our 9th wedding anniversary at the weekend and stopped here 3 times. Only strange thing was there's no smoking on astroturf but you can smoke right next to it on the concrete. Nice beer and outside area was spot on.

Just had a drink but very welcoming & it's very dog friendly brilliant 👍

Nice local pub with really friendly staff

Lovely traditional pub with friendly staff, good pub food and drinks. Recommended 👌

Didn't have good but heard its good. Awesome pub!

Popped in for a quick pint and packet of crisps during an impromptu dog walk. Excellent pint of Corby Ale awesome barmaid and XL crisp. Sat outside lovely beer garden.

Delicious food, lovely environment, friendly staff, good ale, all in all a lovely experience, have been several times recently love the place

Popped in for lunch after a walk by the river... Food was spot on

All round brilliant village pub

Fabulous, freshly cooked food. Friendly staff and locals and dog friendly. What's not to like! We will be returning 😍

Called in for Sunday roast, ,lady very helpful, meal excellent +good value for money

Great friendly staff, yummy food, fantastic beer, open fire - perfect pub 👌

Excellent food. Good value. Lovely atmosphere. Can't fault

Sunday lunch. Great food, friendly service. Loved it. Will be going back. Have been back, great meal and plenty of it

Lovely country pub, just what you need after a good walk.

Lovely pub and bar team😁👍..wish i lived in this village 😞

Fabulous pup, great atmosphere, great selection of drinks, lovely friendly staff, and locals 🍻

Great service. Food not quite 5 star, but very good nonetheless. Quite expensive for pub food, thus rated at 4 start. Very friendly staff.

Good food friendly staff nice open fire

Nice atmosphere good menu, good gluten free selection, will go again.

A proper pub which serves proper beers and good food

Fabulous place, warm, friendly and amazing food. Plus my son has egg, wheat and milk intolerances and they bent over backwards to make him something he wanted. We had a lovely afternoon. Thank you, Steph

This was a second visit. The food and beer was excellent. The service was second to none and my four friends who were with me were equally impressed.

Lovely pub. Friendly staff who greeted my dog with biscuits! The goats cheese starter was absolutely divine, easily a two person portion as far as starters go. The mushroom tortellini special of the day was also sublime. The veg curry was ok but the main thing that stood out for it was the onion chutney that came with it. The staff were also having a chat with a group (I assume locals) and it was so pleasant to hear their jokes/fun facts. Good parking space and plenty of outside seating too.

Lovely food, lovely waiting staff, spoiled by a person constantly using foul language at the bar next to us that constantly played videos on their phone that low and behold contained foul language while the bar staff member encouraged and joined in.

Enjoyed my meal but the beef was chewy and the Sunday had only one small scoop of ice cream and was dry and small. My friend had the crumble and that was delicious.

Friendly service, chatty locals and a good atmosphere. Decent range of local ales which are kept well.

Very nice pub we had a drink but the food looked amazing

5 of us went for food 100%, food excellent very pleasant atmosphere, staff very friendly and efficient. Compliments to the chef.we will be back.

Nice pub. Meal good gammon steak the best I've had. Steak pie good

First time we've been here for a few years and we both really enjoyed it. Fast and friendly service, food was fab. I had cheese and leek sausages they were delicious. Two of us two courses each and a soft drink less than £50. Good to see a village pub so busy.

Excellent homemade food great atmosphere

Been for Sunday lunch with my dear friends this afternoon all five off us was so happy with our meal's the food is absolutely outstanding all through the meal my friend's from South African who are visiting said absolutely amazing we did not expect this standard off food it's just beautiful and big thank you to staff for service and big thank you to Sandra for popping over to see if we need anymore drinks so kind Thank you so much beautiful afternoon 😊

Fabulous as usual. Large menu selection. Also do small plates for lunch from the main menu along with sandwiches etc Lovely staff. Defnitely recommend.

Absolutely brilliant food! Best Sunday lunch I have ever had. Will definitely be back.

Very pleasant pub good food always busy best to book.

On our way back from Northumberland we wanted to stop for food. Called here as reviews were good. Food wasn’t on on Tuesdays but the landlord books a fish n chip van in the carpark and you can get a drink from the bar and food from the van and sit outside. Really lovely experience and just what we fancied. I can highly recommend the pub especially on a Tuesday. Chippy tea is a must !! Brilliant idea too.

Sunday roast was amazing and brilliant value for money.... Well worth a visit 😁

Lovely meal here today. Really enjoyed it

Decent choice of beers, beer garden

Quality Ale pub with a nice beer garden

Couple of beers in the garden on a sunny afternoon, highly recommend!

Fantastic village pub with amazing food. Definitely worth a visit ☺️

Nice food, friendly staff, and treats for the dogs.

Good food friendly staff nice vibe

Choice of cask ales, good food and menu options, clean friendly atmosphere

Amazing food and service. Thank you!

Visited when we stayed in Carlisle on way north. Found it by chance. Lovely pub, really busy but we were served quickly. Beer and wine were great. Didn't eat but the food looked and smelt amazing. Will pop in next time we pass !

By luck we found this place and it was great. Food was amazing and service was excellent. I had the burger and it will serve as a lasting memory until I return. Both my teenage kids loved their lunch and that says a lot.

Great food, lovely place, friendly staff & a good price. What more could you want.

Top spot after a walk down by the river

After travelling down on holiday we went in for food, chalk board up outside advertising food. Went in and was curtly told sorry mate when my husband asked if they did food. Admittedy was a Monday night so guessing only did food later in the week but no explanation plus why advertise.

Lovely sandwich with the wife today chilling by the lovely fire, really nice but £15 on main menu for gammon.. I'm thinking people won't be wanting to pay that when leccy rises kick in.... Lovely meal n ambience though I can't fault it xx

Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend.

Best meal we have in carlisle area lovely coal fire proper pub staff really friendly

Visited the pub last night with friends haven’t been for quite some time and have to say food was amazing 🤩 none of us could fault it we had 3 courses and all of it was perfect…..thank you Chef Neil we will be back. The staff, service and atmosphere were also great. Highly recommend to anyone. 👍🏻😄

Went here with friends just before Christmas for Sunday lunch. It was lovely. The food and the service were both great! Definitely go back.

A well presented real ale in a busy lounge, which also serves meals. What more do you want?

Stopped here for lunch on the way up to Scotland. Friendly, helpful staff, great food (we all had the pie), good real ales, nice beer garden. Can't fault it. Will definitely call in next time we're passing.
