The Wheatsheaf Pub in South Oxfordshire

No longer a restaurant - needs to update its website and TA info. Does not serve any food at all. Limited parking as well.!

Nice alley pub just tucked of the high street. Visited a few times and always seems to be pretty busy Great service and an even better jukebox

No South African food, Chinese after 5pm. We did not hang around. Locals call out orders whilst you are waiting so thank you and good night. Staff untrained in basic politeness

Used to go here for food a lot before my friend moved out of the area (haven’t tried the new chef / cuisine update but I would definitely go back to try it because the food before was fab!

It was incredibly quiet for a Friday evening and I did not feel welcome. I’m sure different times of the day are better and maybe the food is good but I would never return for a weekend evening as I’ve never felt so unwanted in a pub. Its definitely a locals only pub in the evening.

Rude staff, feel as though it is a locals only pub as it felt like they wanted to make it known that we weren’t welcome there, would definitely not return

I have never left a review before but I felt on this occasion I had to. We attended the first Sea Food Sunday today with friends. The food was excellent and more than we could manage to eat. The shell fish included Oysters, King Scallops, Crab claws and much much more. Kelly and Adam's team couldn't have been more helpful. They create a friendly atmosphere in a pub setting and the service is great. If you like sea food this is the place for you. I highly recommend it. We will be back for the next one in August .

We visited here after a day out walking with friends. The landlady was very friendly and welcoming. Even though the pub was busy, she moved chairs around to accommodate us, and our three dogs. Excellent service, we chose burgers, and ribs as recommended, all delicious. The ribs in particular were enormous, and had to be shared. We will definitely pop by here again when we are next in the area. Thank you for a lovely meal.

My parents moved to the area recently where we have been out for dinner here now twice, the food is exceptional, think I may have had one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had!! The staff are also brilliant and very friendly. Can’t recommend this pub enough.

Excellent service in the eye of storm Eunice. Having arrived in Aston Rowant to stay with no power we went in search of light and warmth and found it in abundance. We had a lovely evening with very attentive service and lovely food. The rack of ribs was delicious and the sides great. We had a lovely bottle of wine and good beer. We were welcomed and had a lovely evening. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

My first time visiting The Wheatsheaf today and it couldn't have been better. Very friendly and accommodating staff and a lovely environment inside and outside the premises. The food is excellent. Although I only had a very delicious pizza, the others in my party thoroughly enjoyed their decadent looking desserts. Although it's a little far out for my current location in London, in comparison it's a stone's throw away from my hometown Aylesbury. I will be returning to The Wheatsheaf soon, hungry for more.

Fish n Chips in Chinnor on a Wednesday. Who knew it would be so good. Tartare sauce, minted peas, chunky chips and a slab of beautiful Cod. Just what the Doctor ordered.

Called in off-chance, did nor pre-book. Excellent food in a great outdoor atmosphere. Staff could Not be more attentive or courteous. Left very full with a smile on our faces, could we ask for more! Well done all.

The wheatsheaf is a great pub with a great atmosphere, it has a wide range of drinks available and a lovely woodfired pizzas. Ive also hesrd good stuff about there burgers but have been unable to try them yet. The staff are loevely, and inviting I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Rolled Roast Pork Belly Sunday lunch, to takeaway. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! Didn't even need a quick reheat. Lady answering the phone for orders and bringing out the food is just lovely. Thank you!

We have come away for the weekend and booked a table at the wheatsheaf and what can I say! The food, service and atmosphere was just amazing! Will 100% be back there I had the pork belly burger and it was just the best burger I have ever had everything was so fresh and the staff very friendly and chatty a lovely pub and they really make you feel at home!

Absolutely loved it. I had the roast beef, the portion was so generous and the roast potatoes were delicious. I also treated myself to some crackling. The staff were lovely too, cant wait to go back.

The wheatsheaf is such an amazing pub to visit. I’ve always heard such great things about it, but visiting was even better than what I had heard! The food is unbelievably good, the pizzas are amazing and an absolute must when you visit. Fab gluten free options too, the staff were very accommodating with their suggestions to do with gluten free choices. Thank you so much to Kelly, Rohan and Roger for looking after us while we were here. Truly a lovely night and can’t wait to come again!

We were lucky to get a table on the last day of Rishi's discount scheme. The Wheatsheaf was well organised with Covid precautions and we felt very safe throughout. Well done to Kelly and her team for making us so welcome and serving us so efficiently. The pizzas, burgers, ribs and the waffles were all delicious and our kids cleaned their plates! Would definitely recommend.

“BEST Pub restaurant in Chinnor!”I am rarely that positive in a review but this place deserved it all. Food is excellent, ( Home made evrething ) staff kind and on point, prices are very honest. All meats are tasty and clearly fresh . I tasted the chicken burger and the one with halomie ... everything was fresh, The taste make you to remeber my childhood . Very Good ,,, I think that even this morning I still feel the taste ... YES I recommend you and I am I'm sure I'll be back. Just go!

We came here after our visit to the chinnor nature reserve park, and booked a a table the day before.The pub has a garden too and we sat outside because the weather was lovely.We decided on the double beef burger each and tasty toppings by the way, omg!The customer service was great!Would definitely recommend!

I'm a local but by no means a regular, I probably visit 5 or 6 times a year, but regardless the Wheatsheaf always makes you feel welcome. The staff are fantastic, the punters are friendly and the food is superb. During the summer the garden is perfect for when you've got friends/family visiting and on top of all that, the prices aren't bad either. Highly recommend. If I absolutely had to give one area of improvement, I'd say that sometimes the wait for food and service can be a little long if there is a lot of tables eating, but I'm really clutching at straws to think of a negative. Overall a really lovely place which I hope continues to operate for many years to come.

I love this pub! The staff and regulars are very friendly, the food is very good and comes in large portion sizes and the decoration is lovely. Would recommend popping in for a drink or a meal and having a chat with the welcoming owner.

Recently moved to Chinnor and decided to visit The Wheatsheaf as it’s our closest pub/restaurant. Food was fantastic, we had roast dinners, chicken burger and South African burger between us and all were delicious. Very friendly atmosphere and we were made to feel most welcome by Cameron who didn’t rush us, spoke to us about the local area and was the perfect host. We will definitely return more often and recommend to anyone and everyone!

Heard very good reviews on the roast so I thought I best try,I can honestly say beef was superb, stuffing was gorgeous and rest of it was excellent,well done chef 10/10

The food is probably the best served in a pub in Chinnor the welcome is always warm with great staff. It’s a great mixture of a local and restaurant where you get good food at a reasonable process. I will return and try the varied menu

It’s been a while since we had a roast Sunday lunch here and it was worth the wait. Excellent. Special commendation to the crispy roast potatoes and gravy - really good. Never thought to take a photo, but it looked like a Sunday massive roast chicken with a huge yummy Yorkshire. Scrum.

Wij wilden toch eens even vertoefd hebben in een rasechte , bruine , Engelse pubb !Gelegen in een zijstraatje , naast een grote winkelstraat .

Great dinner tonight, first visit to the Wheatsheaf but it won't be the last. Awesome Calamari, Steak and Ribs. Lovely friendly people, fantastic service and some good old Springbokkies (liqueurs) to finish. Thanks for a great evening. Highly recommended!

The venue, armospjere and staff were all top notch and the hospitality was just what you would expect from any good South Africans..However, i do have to mention a couple of things that were not quite right. The ribs were exceptional and the portion size extremely generous. As a result i decided to only eat half and take the other half, together with my chips which i had not yet tackled, home as a take away. I asked the waiter to please prepare my left over as a take away which he assured me he would do. A little while later i asked him where my take away ribs were and he rushed off to investigate, only to return and apologise that they had been thrown away as they didnt know i wanted a take away!! I was naturally very upset as i had really been looking forward to eating my chips and ribs the next day. I had to pay £18 for a rack of ribs and they had thrown half of them and all my chips in the bin. I said if that was the case i was only going to pay for the half i had eaten. Thìs was not acceptable to them and i was given two drink tokens as compensation! I had already had one drink and didnt want another one!! As i write this review i am still angry because it is so seldom that i get out to have ribs, and then half of them were taken and thrown in the bin!

I did not expect much since the pub is on the main road and looks like a run of the mill place.Inside the bar, seating areas and toilets show some good attention to detail, tastefully done and up to date.Beer is well kept, staff are busy, efficient and friendly. One guy in his early twenties had been there three years and shows passion for customer service coupled with love for his work and was tremendous.We had a BBQ lunch from a South African chef, no idea how they do it so well, everything tasted of BBQ but not one sign of burning. Home made sausages were a delight, plenty of side options and plates cleared very quickly.A really good venue, well executed all round, nice one.

We have frequented the Wheatsheaf for several years now and because of the lovely staff, food and venue we decided to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary there. We had a fantastic time. Nothing was too much trouble for Roger (the owner) and his staff. Roger is South African by birth and because of our love for his homeland and their food and wine we decided to have a braai which is a South African BBQ. It was superb. The venue was excellent for our requirements as it has a lovely garden but if the weather is inclement (which it was) there is plenty of covered seating to accommodate everyone without encroaching on the bar area.

Lovely and welcoming pub, great atmosphere and lovely pub gardens and nice food, Would recommend the ribs!

Good food, friendly manager / owner (Roger), interesting themes and great bar maids especially AP. They also have TV screen thing if you like footie

5 years on from all our children’s births we all met for a wonderful day and great food at the Wheatsheaf in Chinnor. Food was exceptional and the service was better. Thank you to Roger and the great team you have there.

A family party visited here on Friday evening for what was hoped to be a small family birthday celebration. Food ordered we waited in anticipation which once arrived and tasted had to be the worst pub food tasted in a long long time. Even the children left their food which was well over cooked. As for the adults the only decent meal out of the 5 adults was the fish and chips. The so called South African burger was dry and like leather, the buns were dry and all who had chips found they had been doused in salt. If you try to enjoy a nice cool glass of white wine you will find it served lukewarm. We did not complain at the time not wishing to spoil a social event. However I would warn unsuspecting customers do not eat there until they change the chef.

I'll start with the cons as to be frank they are very minor . Entering the pub you are hit with a wall of scented candles that personally I found to be enough to to give me a headache and go out side for air. My toddler had a potion of chips with his lunch and didn't eat them. It wasn't until he'd had desert I realized the chips had be salted with far far to much salt making them inedible. (Please let the customer salt thier food!!! They may not be able to have salt!!) My friends little girl had pork and it was very pink, really not very healthy. I'd have complained but it's my mates local and he asked me not to. A dog seemed to be hovering around the table which I find utterly unacceptable. Plus points. The most amazing home made steak burger!!( Again overly salted chips) Good portions. Friendly professional staff. Very clean all over. Reasonably priced. I'd highly recommend buy do ask that food is covered in salt unless you like it that way of course. Only three stars as I feel the amount of salt and the fact it assumed you wanted it was really not very good .

Absolutely beautiful food. Chef catered to our every need. Staff on the bar were very polite and helpful, would definitely visit again

Absolutely fantastic could not fault staff or food everything was great and very reasonable on price

Visited here tonight, by myself as I was working away on business, made to feel welcome by all members of staff as soon as I walked through the door, had the ribs that were amazing !! Nicest ribs I’ve had in years!!!!!! Will definitely be back

If you are looking for a warm and friendly welcome this is the place for you. An unfussy pub offering a small but very different menu featuring South African cuisine along with more traditional items. Very helpful and attentive service together with well cooked and presented food. If you live near or pass through Chinnor it is definitely worth a visit!

Saw they advertised South African food which is a bit different so called in while passing through Chinnor. Not disappointed at all. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, prices are good for the area and drinks were well served and right temperature, beers and wines. The S African food was different and lovely, excellent if maybe even over large portions. Will certainly call back in next time we are in the area visiting friends.

Wpadliśmy na piwko ze znajomym. Miejsce w miarę normalne. Zamowilismy przy okazji kilku piw rzeberka wieprzowe. Bardzo pyszne i bardzo ogromne. Połowa tylko została zjedzona.

As always - a great welcome from the charismatic landlord Roger , and his staff. Food as always was excellent. While I confess this is a local haunt for us - the hospitality, food and company is always 100%. Many thanks

We called in for a drink, looked at the menu and felt a friendly atmosphere so decided to choose this pub for our regular group night out last Saturday. What a good choice! We were made to feel welcome from the start by Daniel who served us drinks outside while we selected our meals, took our orders and let us know when the starters we're ready. Our meals were all delicious, steaks were tender, ribs were huge and fell off the bone, Sosaties cooked just as requested. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and Daniel looked after us throughout the evening. The complimentary shots at the end of the meal were most interesting. We will be returning.

What a fantastic pub! The food is incredible. So full of flavour and always quick to table after being so well prepared.

Eat at the sheaf probably a couple of times a month. Food is always excellent, staff courteous & attentive. Service, food & value are all good ( buttons to rate not working)

Visited on the bank holiday Monday as my partner and a friend were taking part in their Man Vs Food challenge. I ordered some tapas for my dinner - five for ten pounds and my choices where calamari, potatoes, beef, humus and mushrooms with some bread on the side. the beef, calamari and potatoes where swimming in oil, the calamari was pretty indescribable but basically looked and tasted like rubber bands the bread had almost a damp texture to it, the only things that was slightly enjoyable was the mushrooms and humus.My partners food for the challenge had not arrived yet but I did pre warn him that I did not think that the challenge would be the quantity of food but more the quality. His challenge consisted of a portion of ribs with sweet potato fries and coleslaw, the ribs were tough, the meat dry and chewy and the sweet potato fries where in fact dry and unpleasant ordinary oven chips, the coleslaw was also fairly unpalatable. There was then six chicken wings which were also tough and overcooked and a hamburger which he said was okay, more oven chips and more coleslaw (yay). Needless to say he did not complete the challenge, more I think due to his jawbone giving out from all the chewing required to get through it than the quantity of food. Some of our party had food from the bbq which they said was good. possibly the kitchen was not on form that day because they where running the challenges but my tip would be if you are eating here then order from the bbq and avoid food from the kitchen, specially the tapas. Needless to say we very probably will not be visiting again. One good point I would say for them is that when they set a challenge then you really do make it a tough one............ Literally!

Witnessed the landlord telling a group of customers that if they didn’t like his pub they should go elsewhere as he didn’t need their custom. It was a very warm evening. Apparently the landlord was cold (although his sweaty forehead told a different story) and refused to have a couple of windows open. Not many landlords would risk losing 50% of their customers on a Saturday evening who seemed quite settled and were buying plenty of drinks. To top it all he then began to insult one of the group over their choice of outfit. Incredibly rude of him. It was like a scene from Fawlty Towers but without the humour. Best to avoid unless you like your beer served in a sauna. Perhaps that’s their tactics, make the environment so warm your punters buy more drinks! Fortunately we won’t be returning to find out if this is a regular occurrence.

Invited to our friends 50th birthday drink at this local pub.

We were joining a friend for their birthday. It was unbelievably hot inside, we opened two top windows, only to be shut by someone outside. Windows were opened again, and then shut loudly again. Turns out Landlord was our side of the bar, and said he was cold, we were all sweltering. Landlord was extremely rude to us, said if we if we didn't like it we could go elsewhere, said he didn't need our custom. He insulted one of our friends. I have never been to a pub and been so insulted by the Landlord. We won't be going back.

What a rude and un-hospitable landlord... all we wanted was to open a couple of small windows where we were sat as it was VERY warm inside! Every time we opened them, he walked outside and pushed them shut, this happened a few times, and not once did he make himself known to us and explain why! When we started asking around, apparently it makes the customers drink more as they get so warm!!! We them approached him about this and he became very rude to us saying he didn’t need us or our custom, which is good because we won’t be going back...

Despite living in the village for decades, this was my first visit to the Wheatsheaf - it won't be my last!!!

Our family had a lovely dinner. Our feedback:

Had a family meal lunchtime midweek. Great food and good friendly service. Quiet as we were early. South African food I can't pronounce or spell but excellent.

Service was great. Food was very good. Staff were very attentive. New toilets are a great improvement.

Called in for a light bite and a beer. This has an interesting menu with a distinctive South African influence. I had the deep fried Brie and a beer. Service was prompt and good.

this is a nice place it provides some great food some with a South African twist, there is a relaxed atmosphere about the place, service is good and you are not hurried over your meal. I have been on several occasions and have always been very happy with the meals.

I've been here a couple of times with friends and always enjoy it here :) I always settle for just a bowl of chips which are always cooked good. Bar staff and some of the locals seem friendly. Shame it's the other end of Chinnor to where we live so we don't really go there that much. My daughter enjoyed her 18th birthday meal and drinks :) when my little girl got a little bored my boyfriend asked if they had any games or toys to occupy her? and they gladly found a game which kept her amused for a while :) Nice pub serving South African food but there are a few english dishes too! :)

Went to the Wheatsheaf on Sat night; they had an opening of the new toilets in the pub. Was quite busy as they were offering hotdogs and hamburgers. We got there about 9pm, took along time to be served due to being ignored by the bar staff. As it was busy there was nowhere to sit, there were several children there, we found a seat in between two families with children, some of the children were asleep and the parents still sat there drinking. Think that children should not be allowed in the pub at that time of night. Due to the lack of seats and the families we had to leave. The new bathrooms were lovely but had no toilet roll holders or hand dryers. Overall a nice pub.

Stopped by for lunch with a gang of 20+ cyclists. Place is having some alterations but this didn't stop them providing a warm welcome and all food was consumed with vigour. Top job and great attitude from the staff.

This south African themed pub is fairly good with the food being somewhat different from anything you will get elsewhere in Chinnor.

Friendly staff and great service! Dishes were also fresh and light ! The Potjiekos was lovely , had it with the rabbit ! They also do good bar b que on SUNDAYS. Got a lovely South African touch !

Estuvimos aquí en camino a casa de vacaciones para el almuerzo. No había nadie en la llegada y pensé oh cielos que metiendo. En navegando por el menú había un montón de cosas que no había probado antes. Fui por el soastie y pasteles de pescado tailandesa. El vino en la horca soastie brocheta, que me recordaba a uno que he tenido en Madeira. El cordero estaba muy tierno y sabroso, y la parte grande, la pasteles de pescado también eran buenas.

Los Trigos en visitamos el homenaje a nuestro padre, ya que era un pub que frecuentan en las primeras 60!

We frequently visit the Wheatsheaf for lunches and evenings .There's always a warm welcome and cheery greeting from the friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The food is nicely prepared served promptly and terrific value. Roger the owner heads an efficient team and offers specialist dishes from his South African homeland. Why look elsewhere?

Been reading the reviews of The Wheatsheaf and decided to give it a try on lunchtime.Was worried when we were the only people in the place and the menu did not seem to have the same choices as on the Web site. Anyway, the burger was Good, and the chef did cook a lovely chicken pasta meal for my wife (pasta was on the menu but not with chicken). Friendly staff. Oh, a few more people did trickle in before 2pm.I guess it is an OK place and obviously suitable for lots of people, but not one I would go back to as there are 3 better places near by.

Had a visit there as friends had a friends bday there with food done by the pub it was all very nice,

I recently visited the Wheatsheaf for lunch with a friend as we regularly meet up somewhere in between where we both live.We received a very warm welcome from the lady behind the very nice unusual metal effect bar. She recommended the burger or the sosaties and not knowing what these were we thought we should try it. We were not disappointed and it was a good job we were hungry as it turned out to be a huge lamb kebab served in the most unusual way. It really was very filling and delicious. We will be back to try the burger next time.

Found this pub on TripAdvisor and I must say everything other revues said were certainly not exaggerated.As soon as we walked in the greeting from all the staff was fantastic, we were made to feel really welcome.The food was amazing, fantastic value and enormous portions.I would definitely recommend this pub for its friendly atmosphere and excellent food

My wife and I had a hugely enjoyable meal of marinated lamb on a skewer above a bed of lettuce and slices of pizza dough. There is a specific South African name for this dish and I regret I don't remember it, but it was really delicious. Capping it off was excellent service both from the owner and manager. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended!!

What a lovely atmosphere, so friendly and attentive. Great food, plentiful, tasty and so reasonable.

Ate here last week as part of a small group. It's an incredibly friendly place to go for a drink and the service was really attentive and friendly without being unobtrusive.The food was all home cooked and we tried some South African specialties. They weren't really to our taste I'm afraid but that may just be that we aren't a fan of the Boerwors sausages or the thin style stew. They did good pizzas and garlic bread and we did enjoy the place in general I would just find it hard to rate the place above average based on the food we ate.

Turned up on the bank holiday weekend hoping it wouldn't be too busy. Met by a nice ambience, decor and helpful staff. We decided to sit outside as was so warm. The great decor continues to the outside where there is a porch area with sofas and chairs and an outside cooking area where our tapas was prepared. The food was excellent... We had one of everything off the tapas menu (15 dishes between the three of us)....great variety, tastes and presentation. Staff were very attentive. Highly recommend this pub for food and service.

Stopped for lunch on the way back from the Cotswolds. Food was excellent and beer cold and refreshing in the side garden. Landlord very friendly and informative- but would not give out the recipe for his home made Boerwoers!!! (Only on pain of death). We would thoroughly recommend this Pub. Steve, Rita (Newcastle, Australia), Lara (London).

My first review of this pub but not my first visit! Had a lovely welcome when I came in as usual including a hug from the very friendly landlord Roger. I sat at the bar not intending to eat but watching the tapas come out of the kitchen I couldn't resist. Asked for a recommendation from the bar staff and went for the chorizo potatoes, meatballs in tomato sauce and dates wrapped in Roger's home smoked bacon. Plus some homemade bread and all for £5.50! It's was very tasty and just right for a light lunch. There is an option for 8 or 10 choices as well. My first time having tapas there and I'll definitely try again. I've always opted for the Ribs or traditional South African Sausage before but I'll save those now for winter! On other notes, clean bathrooms, comfy booths, friendly locals and a lovely garden. What a great and unusual village pub

Excellent lunch with good company. The owner was very welcoming and chatty. We stopped here for lunch on the way to the steam railway. I had a South African burger and my wife had chicken salad all were excellent.

The pub has a very large outside space with lots of tables, it has a lovely atmosphere. We didn't eat in the pub, however I have been told the food is very good. We only had beer and cider amongst us, of which there was a reasonable selection. A pleasant, relaxed pub to visit.

Went to this pub last week after reading reports on Trip Advisor and were extremely disappointed in the standard of the food. My calamari for starters was fine but the garlicky, cheesey pizza bread turned out to be a pizza base with cheese - it lacked taste and garlic, of which there was none. Waitress apologised with a smile, saying that the chef must have forgotten to put it on !! I had the ribs for main course and was looking forward to some well cooked meat but alas, it was not to be. They were smothered in a BBQ sauce which overpowered any taste the meat may have had and I had to wrench the meat off the bones with my teeth. Awful. My husband had the chicken sosaties which were OK except that the salad was drowned in dressing. Very overpriced for the quality of the food. Decor was nice but nothing to get overwhelmed about. I doubt the validity of some reports or maybe they don't get out much! We won't be back!

We were looking for somewhere to eat travelling down to the south coast. We turned off the M40 before hitting the M25 and ended up in the village of Chinnor.On first appearance the Wheatsheaf did not look a promising place to eat. The pub was just your average local in appearance and was was full of locals enjoying a drink after work. Nobody was eating. It goes to show that first appearances can be deceiving.The beer was great (one of their own brews), service was excellent and the food great. I had spare ribs, a neanderthal man would have been pleased with the size of the portion. My wife had salmon tagitelli which was good.I wish our local pub was as good as the Wheatsheaf in Chinnor.

Great adventurous menu, with large portions and all freshly cooked. The website is a bit confusing as the Menu implies you can get tapas everyday in fact this is only on Sundays and the Biltong is nowhere to be found, that said the Bar staff who also do the waitressing were really friendly and helpful and happy to explain anything to us. This pub is lively and busy with seating indoors and outside,fun decor, and a great atmosphere - The food is superb and really great value! We chose Sosaties (recommended) and Pulled Pork wraps, the Ribs &Chips were very popular and huge , the Oven fired Pizza's smelt delicious and looked good too! We'll have to go back.

My family and I are regulars to the wheatsheaf, very often on a Friday evening we will have tea here and we have eaten here before on a Sunday, so after along day working in the garden we decided to pop to our 'local' for some food. Since our last Sunday visit the menu has changed and the fayre on offer now was tapas or bbq chicken skewers or bbq lamb chops, none of which appealed, but we decided to stay. The tapas was served as so many dishes for a set price and the bbq was a set price of £11.95. My husband and I opted for the bbq. When it came it was literally the meat with a small salad side and 2 pitta breads,which in my opinion was extremely over priced. The children did have fish fingers with chips and chicken nuggets and chips, which were much better value than the adult meals, but weren't advertised or obviously available. Overall I was very very disappointed by my dining experience

This pub needs to come and be my local in Birmingham. Lovely atmosphere bar staff genuine and friendly and manager has the most amazing accent ever. The decor is fresh and different. Food great price and the burger with blue cheese was mourish.After lunch we sat in the garden lovely little sun trap and we watched the beautiful red kites flying around.I will travel from Birmingham to have another lunch here Highly recommend whether you are local or if you fancy a drive

I had an african burger and the was amazing, everything was fresh and the staff are friendly. i would recommended a visit. They also have a bbq area out in the garden which i imagine to be excellent on warm summer evenings.

A fantastic venue, great food and great staff. Very attentive, and had good recommendations. Spacious garden and long bar. Very happy with our experience here.

We were greeted immediately by a lovely gentleman behind bar. All the staff were friendly, efficient and welcoming. The food was excellent, the pub is comfortable and the decor is fascinating. We would highly recommend and are looking forward to visiting again.

We had an excellent Father's Day celebration on Sunday lunch time 19 June. We have tasted the excellent Wheatsheaf Beer and had delicious tapas for lunch. The service was excellent.

Roger is the most warm and welcoming landlord. On Sundays they are now doing Tapas with choices from 11 different dishes ranging from roasted green peppers,meatballs in tomato sauce,roast potatoes with spicy chorizo,Moroccan style chickpea dip to prawns and baby chorizo skewers. With the choice of chicken, beef and pork skewers. All served freshly prepared from 12-5pm on Sundays

Friendly and relaxing. The ribs were huge and well cooked certainly the best I have ever eaten. Well done to the team I will certainly be back

I work at this pub for fun alongside my main job as it is a fantastic place to work. I am proud to work here and more than happy to eat here as I now the food is good, if there is anything wrong with your meal the waiter/resses will more than happily replace any meal that is sub-standard! We are proud in what we serve and hope that everyone that comeIn enjoys they're food! We visited today and I had fish and chips and my other half had the sosaties! It's was very nice! ☺️ of course

If you like something different and a good pint and good food then look no further. The staff put every effort in to make this a great pub to pop in for a quick pint of have a nice meal. Nice back garden, family and dog friendly. Great atmosphere :-)

Visited with family for Sunday lunch and opted for the Roast Dinner. Cold food, fatty meat and seemingly uncooked Yorkshire puddings. Minimal interest from the waitress when we highlighted that the food was cold. Foolishly stayed for dessert. Eton mess consisted of whipped cream, few pieces of meringue and some raspberry sauce in a wine glass - no fruit in sight.

Went here on Good Friday for lunch. The barman was on his own and struggled to keep up the service, nice guy and did his best. The chef was it appears also on his own judging by the one hour it took too deliver 4 meals. The fish and chips had an incredibly small portion of fish, The South African sausages were dry enough to have come form the dessert, the chicken skewer was OK. It was a warm enough day to eat in the garden but worrying to see dog excrement scattered around in various stages of decomposition in the garden where children play. Unfortunately the swings are broken and the slide decrepit.

Went for a Friday night meal with the wife and kids. As always the food was excellent and Roger and his team severed us promptly and politely. Would recommend to anyone, make sure you are hungry as the portion sizes are generous.

A very warm welcome to our arrival (a friend as well as my dog). Surprisingly the restaurant was quite empty (perhaps because it was a cold day?)I had a burger which was HUGE and although tasty, a bit dry. However, the service was awesome and I shall return in spring - hopefully to a spring menu.

Reading some of the reviews, I wonder if we're going to the same pub! We are regular visitors. the landlord is always welcoming and the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is always good; the burgers particularly are fantastic, and completely home made, even the buns.

Not sure what the earlier review is going on about all i can think it was is that they actually went to a different pub but didn't realise! I was in the Wheatsheaf on Sunday and had a great meal, wonderful staff and great service.....! The landlord is very welcoming and sometimes funny!!

First time I’ve ever written a review – that should give you some idea how bad this restaurant is. Best advice I can give is avoid it – booked a table for 7 for my daughter’s birthday meal. We had to wait over an hour for the meal to arrive. It wasn’t worth the wait, the Sunday lunch tasted like leftovers, parsnips burnt, roast potatoes had seen better days. The mean on skewers was burnt – came with pita bread that was cold. Can’t believe how bad it was – complained and got a desert for free - I should have been paid to eat there. A free pudding was no compensation for an appalling experience and rubbish meal. I will never go there again.

If you're hoping for a South African culinary experience, then sadly you're going to be disappointed - or misled! On arrival we were informed that there was no boerewors. No boerewors in a SA restaurant? Skandaal! We chose ribs and steak instead. The ribs were dry, and tough, and the chips were hard and undercooked. The blue cheese sauce for the steak was thin and watery. Our food arrived an hour and a half after being seated at our table. We then chose koeksusters for dessert, which took 30 minutes to arrive. As for the koeksusters - what a disaster. I'm sorry, but a piece of plaited dry dough with thin syrup poured over it does not constitute a koeksuster. Most of our party sent them back. Nee wat mense, julle moet harder proebeer. On a positive note, the decor is great!

I'm staying in a nearby hotel and got fed up with the food so I looked to trip advisor to see what's local. I chose this place. I'm down here on my own and was instantly greeted on arrival. A very warm and welcoming pub. I tried a South African meal called boerewors which was nice. An overall welcoming and pleasant experience. Will definitely eat here again.
