The Wheatsheaf in Shropshire

Stopped here whilst visiting Shrewsbury for the day. It was a good looking place, clean with shaded outside seating - vital as it was a scorcher. The food was incredibly good value for the delicious meal we had. High quality, large portion size and friendly, helpful staff. Recommended for visitors to the area.

Best “luxury” fish finger ciabatta brunch plate. Beer and coke between us. Very reasonable price. Very friendly local, very nice owner and staff. Thanks

not a nice pub honestly, was really crowded, went there for a gig only for it to be 18+ when it stated it was 16+ and half my mates couldn’t come in, not going there again.

Large room where sounds echo around. Beer can be up and down

Fantastic venue for live music. Really great atmosphere and good beer. Well worth a visit

I haven't been since the bar and lounge has been made into one bar. Not a fan but the beer made up for it. Glad to have gone while they still had the Old Ale on. They also still have bands on a Saturday night.

It's a proper pub - very friendly, good atmosphere and excellent selection of beers.

Great pub atmosphere great have some great bands on at weekends staff very freindly

Great staff great entertainment live bands no charge on door great beer wot more can u ask for

Great pub. Surprised I've never been in here before, having been a member of the casino next door for many years. Found it to be nice welcoming service, a fantastic selection of beers and ales on tap, clean and tidy settings. I couldn't fault it at all from my experience of it.

Great local pub great atmosphere

Visited mid afternoon on a Friday. Very friendly land lady, Good choice of beers.

Absolute brilliant night on Saturday band were amazing staff were brilliant will definitely be back

Good pub, nice and clean with good entertainment

We went on Easter weekend and it was busy everywhere. Managed to get the last table and ordered food. Two meals for £16. I had hunters chicken and due to the cheapness wasn't expecting a lot but it was lovely. Staff friendly, quirky pub and we would definitely return.

After a late afternoon stroll around the town, we decided to call in this pub for a couple of pre dinner drinks. I don’t normally review drinking establishments but this one merited the exception. Walking in from the cold outside air, the warmth in the pub was lovely ranging from the temperature to the welcome from Sam. She was excellent. Two medium glasses of wine and change from a tenner was also welcome to Southerners used to paying around double that. Food only done at lunchtime but check out the pub and it’s atmosphere

Great place friendly people and staff.. great prices . All round good pub xx

Lovely fresh sandwiches with salad and well cooked chips. Nice pint of Eagle IPA and very pleasant service. Decent prices as well. They get 4.3 on google which I think is nearer the mark.

Fantastic Staff, great service and great place for a Drink 🍸

Great if you're a larger person. Big screen and a friendly landlord. Would of rated higher but not a good place if your an ale drinker like me.

Drank in this pub before, however always been summer time so always sat outside. With it being miserable weather outside the pub was friendly/ warm and very welcoming and the locals were friendly too which definitely helps. Great selection of real ales and lagers, throughly recommend 61 Deep great pint. Visited a couple of times over the weekend at different times and the place was busy, however staff were very much on the ball, clearly can handle the pressure. I was led to believe the pub done food however didn’t see anything advertised, either in the evening or during the day, so not sure if this is something they do anymore. Will definitely return in the future and would have no issues recommending either.

Best pub in West Bromwich again. Well done Stu for turning the pub around.

Top pub in bramich I ay bin in there for years nice staff and top beer a old fashioned boozer. Av a luk in there and av a few beers.

Not too bad although pint a bit expensive. Almost empty.

Very welcoming staff , lovely atmosphere, music and sports .top marks

Great beer and staff, great service.

Great pub. Friendly bar staff. Great atmosphere

Awesome place lovely lady brilliant atmosphere

First visit to the pub. I was always curious but then moved away from the area. I went in to watch the band that was on. Staff were very friendly. Nice traditional pub👍

We came her a couple of times for drinks and each time the staff were very helpful and pleasant The drinks are good value and the room is nice and airy. Will definitely go again on our next visit

A proper pub...no airs and graces but a good atmosphere and good beer,and any pub that supports live music is great in my eyes

Nice cosy pub, good live entertainment if a little loud.

Great pub nice relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a nice pjnt

Very friendly local pun with live music

A lovely little find.... popped in for a pint and an eat... only to find thay finished serving at 3pm.... not a problem as recommended the Old Post Office - thats where the problem lay.... Fab Staff at Wheatsheaf, (the bar person's meal looooookeeed fab) nice little place.

Great Saturday nite out great atmosphere

Lovely pub, with very friendly bar staff. Only down fall it's a west bromwich albion pub. Lol.

Just had bacon and Brie sandwich. It was the best ever. Amazing value and brilliant staff. Thank you

One of the only gems left in The High Street 🍺👍

Beer and wine very good. Served with a smile. Lunch snack of Bacon & Brie sandwich was excellent - we really needed to share one as we struggled with size on our own.

The staff were really friendly, the food was served pretty quickly and was piping hot. The portions were huge and the meals were both pretty tasty and decent quality. Best of all they cost very little!!! Fine dining it is not but good, honest, affordable pub grub it certainly is. Overall a great experience

As it was a Saturday we had booked elsewhere but it was extremely noisy and we looked elsewhere. We are not local and by chance we discovered the Wheatsheaf. A very nice welcome, a good bar and a reasonable menu that should satisfy most. The food was hot, plentiful and tasty. Top marks

Fabulous hospitality and facilities. Will visit again. Bands on every Saturday so I am told. Excellent venue xx

Wonderful Food. The menu was that good I found difficulty in choosing what I wanted. Staff were very helpful. Nothing seemed to much trouble.

Friendly staff and a good night out

Had a great time last Sunday watching checka play rules were abided by staff very friendly lovely clean pub I hadn't been there in over 30 years but will be going again August Bank Holidays to watch the band again

Lovely pub,good location-top corner of an attractive street,we sat outside at front of pub….extremely pleasant,helpful young lady served us. Definitely go back there next visit :)

Very slow be prepared for a long wait. Beer good food ok but they dont seem interested in anyone ( mostly tourists ) outside

The Wheatsheaf has a wide pavement area so is able to accommodate around 30 or more people at tables outside. In the sunshine today it was splendid. The local architecture surrounding the ancient pub is beautiful and with the adjacent High Street closed to traffic it was peaceful, too, other than passers-by and shoppers. We were not particularly hungry so my daughter and I opted to share one meal, and the staff were perfectly happy with this, despite us taking a table which could potentially have been more lucrative. The food was good; not outstanding but more than adequate and good value. The best thing about quite a lot of good things about the Wheatsheaf was the very helpful, efficient and very attentive staff. It was clear that the serving staff were prepared to take a genuine interest in the service they provided, rather than just going through the motions. Very impressed.

Walked in to find a table- 4 men around the door being served at the bar. The “lovely” lady stated we’d have to sit outside. When we said ok we will go out following the one way system she politely told us to go across the road to the old post house. We did, it was a lovely atmosphere.. go there instead!

Visited the pub early Saturday evening we got talking to another table and we were having a really great night, small barmaid came over and demanded we move away from this other table or leave as an old couple the other side of the pub we're offended by what we were talking about, brexit & immigration with the occasional swear word! I was absolutely gob smacked it's a Saturday night in the town centre with no children around! We were spoken too like dirt and felt like we had committed a full on crime! Lighten up for gods sake the world's miserable enough with covid! I really don't recomend this pub unless you like a place with no atmosphere, miserable customer and up them self staff bar staff, best thing about it were the door staff really good fun and felt safe.

Me and my wife have been visiting Shrewsbury for a couple of days and have visited the Wheatsheaf 3 times and each time was greeted by a lovely young lady who ensured our visit was enjoyable every time. The poor girl I think she said her name was Ash did not stop the whole time we were there and was running the place as smoothly as possible with how busy she was and the fact she was on her own. But she always had a smile on her face and made every customers feel welcome. Sadly When we were sat outside a man brought her outside and embarrassed her in front of customers as she hadn’t cleared glasses off the tables. The poor girl couldn’t keep up and everyone had left at once. I don’t know who the man was I can only assume the landlord. But I am absolutely disgusted with how he treated her and if he is the landlord I will not be returning to put another penny in that mans pocket. The lady tried her best to clear the tables quickly and professionally but it broke our hearts seeing her cry. I hope he apologise to her as no person should have to put up with that disgusting behaviour in the work place.

Good value excellent range of Holdens beers

Friendly people. Interesting music band.

First time visit the wheatsheaf to play dominoes

Great night watching the Teeze friendly pub nice atmosphere

We usually pop in for a swift one while we are in town shopping. The pub no longer serves food, although occasionally there is a choice of prepacked sandwiches (or pork pies, I saw once) in a cabinet on the bar. [The owner also runs 'The Post Office' across the street (through the archway and across the courtyard) which does the full range of pub food ( to a good standard too).]There is usually live music on at some point in the week (see the posters) and on Wednesday evenings, record enthusiasts meet up and can take over the turntables playing records from their personal collections for 30min slot or so.

Good live music good atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks with pleasant staff

One of only two pubs left in the Carters Green Area the pub underwent a major refurbishment a couple of years ago. A good selection of Holden beers and popular drinks including San Miguel. Live bands on a Saturday evening with free admission, also a beer garden if you want to sit outdoors.

This is one of three pubs that I know that is owned by the Holdens Brewery and is local to the black country. This place has been modernized to accommodate more visitors but the newly renovated leaded light Windows still fit the character of the old style pub. Holdens Brewery ales are well worth a try for real ale enthusiasts. Update I recently visited the pub and all the old style pub is gone inside and now is a one room bar come entertainment area and two large screen tv's and a platform for live music.

This a fairly souless town centre pub with a ghastly modern bar. They do have live music some evenings but not the kind of place to come for a pleasant drink during the day.

Friendly staff, friendly crowd, lots of good live bands at weekends

Great pub in the centre of Shrewsbury.Lively entertainment on the friday night we visited.Great atmosphere and good selection at the bar.

I utilised this one on a couple of occasions whilst staying in Shrewsbury, initially on a Thursday evening, as local musicians bring along their guitars and set up in the seating section by the left hand entrance, and as a consequence the pub was busy and had a decent vibe, and then again the lunchtime of the day after for the official Pubs Galore crawl of Shrewsbury when we found the pub inexplicably completely empty (and the barmaid only too happy to see us) and the whole thing a bit flat. The interior is small but light and airy although a bit corporate.It is a Marstons pub and the ale range was a bit pedestrian. For my visits the 6 handpumps only offered Brakspear Gravity, Marston's EPA, Banks Amber and Lancaster Bomber. I had gone for the Lancaster Bomber the night before which I found dull and went for the Banks Amber on the subsequent visit which was OK but not a patch on the same beer in the Loggerheads.I would recommend a visit here of an evening when the local musicians are performing on their guitars, otherwise probably not.

Totally different from the original pub

visited on a sunday evening and it was busy as it had live entertainment.singer was good mainly songs from 60s to 80s.friendly atmosphere,pleasant staff and drinks at a reasonable price.could do with more independent pubs like this.

Great Pub, great bar staff. Refurb is lovely. Fab venue for live music. Went to see Asena supporting Taymar Pigeon tonight. Brilliant night.

Always visit this pub to sit outside and people watch.Good choice of real ales and not bad prices.Good service always

Here the beer was not so good for Holdens.

Shame they have removed the lounge. It feels a little soulless now without the back room. Even though I remember them building the backroom 20 years ago it had become part and parcel of the pub. I suspect the bar dwellers are not too keen on losing their bar either.

Visited yesterday. As a teetotal and on a dieting regime I drink soda with cordials. Unlike other pubs the staff gave a generous and equal amount of cordial to soda and with ice for a reasonable price. They make a nice cheese nudger. Pleasant attentive staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

Worro, great night,superb band, more please. Seeya.

Like here, friendly and although kareoke system dated still ok

This was a lovely place for our very late lunch on arriving in Shrewsbury for 3 nights. The service was friendly, the natives were friendly, the food was lovely, our window seat was great for people watching.....all in all, a great start to our Shrewsbury adventure!

Like this pub nice ale and staff

Another great pub. Dunbar, you are missed. Bless you.

Great place brilliant Karioke on a Friday groups on a Saturday great staff

Even though the sign outside clearly states 'good food, they do not do food. Don't be fooled as we were! Nice pub apart from the lack of sustenance.

Popped in for a drink late afternoon, friendly atmosphere and felt at home. Good selection of gins. Friendly staff

Super pub with real ale and caring staff very enjoyable time

I really enjoyed my belly pork, but the rest of our party were really disappointed. The fidget pie had no flavour, and the ham and mustard sandwich had far too much mustard. With a bit of tweaking the food could be a lot better.

Ever since the refurb the beer (mild & bitter ) goes flat within 10 minutes, tastes good but no life in it , a mate posted a "memories photo" on Facebook the other day from two years ago (before refurb ) the glasses some near empty had beer froth all the way down them, in those days hand pull beers were served in over size glasses as opposed to the measured glasses they use now so if you want a good head of beer you get less than a full pint, on a plus side they have finally started having some rock bands back in there on Saturdays which is what the locals have been used to, for the pubs sake I hope the old regulars start coming back because there used to be a good atmosphere on a Saturday .

Fantastic night with entertainment

Very nice and cozy place to chill and drink few cold pints!🤗😎👍

Good beer great music nice friendly pub

Clean tidy loads of local history pictures, and keeps a good pint, 33 and my first time in here.

I've visited this pub before on a visit ti Shrewsbury and having enjoyed it in the past decided to revisited. Was pleasantly surprised at the changes in this place and the gastro style menu. Great food and nice atmosphere of a lunch time. I think it my have lost a little bit of an evening as it doesn't seem to cater just for drinkers anymore.

Decent enough. Seems to have lost its classic atmosphere. Staff & Beers were good but I can't put my finger on what's not right.

This pub has always been a favourite over the years but the recent refurbishment seems to have meant a lot less space in the pub. We struggled to squeeze in as the previous lay out has been replaced for tables aimed at making money from food. I do understand the need for this in today’s industry but I feel at it has come at a cost to the old atmosphere this pub used to have. Overall very good though and a high quality refurbishment. Good selection of ale and reasonable price. Hopefully it’ll find its new place as a new classic on Salops high street.

Lovely pub with a great selection of real ale

A smart little pub in West Bromwich. Sports on the screen, good quality beer and live entertainment of a weekend

A nice comfortable pub with a nice atmosphere. Only drank here so can’t comment on the food. Nice real ale which was a good fresh pint

This is a good venue with a wide range of beers. The staff were helpful and the service was prompt, even when busy. There's cheaper places to drink in town but this one is worth a visit.

The place has been refurbished- it is ok, but we found some of the new lighting bright which was annoying.

Nice pub great choice of beers aswell staff are friendly . Only thing what does my head in is when you go the womens loo the door bangs really loud always reminds me of porridge when that used to come on the telly and they slam the cell door its the same sort of bang as that . Also have good entertament on aswell

Good Beer, Friendly bar maid, old type pub with character. Pity it is always so empty. Can sit outside and watch the world go bye. Not too many pubs in Shrewsbury!

First time in after about twenty years nice atmosphere friendly and clean and a nice sheltered part in the yard for a smoke. Will definitely visit again.

This is a quaint old pub serving decent drinks at reasonable prices. It has a pleasant atmosphere and is clearly popular with locals

Holden's Ales, large single room. Good music venue.

Popped in to have a cold drink but also use the ladies toilets. The toilet seat was loose and the cubicle door handle was unusable at least was able to slide the door lock closed both of these was disappointing to see. The service was ok had to wait for the barman to return from the cellar to be served though.
