Since the new takeover Kath, Bobby and her family have really turned the place around! The Undercovers here last weekend were incredible. The whole place has improved so much! Really enjoying going there. :)

Having just moved to Didcot, I have found a home away from home. Lovely staff and friendly locals. The prices are competitive against other venues. I got to watch the semifinals of an Aunt Sally league which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. There are two well kept and lit dart boards with a counter and a pool table. Friday and Saturday nights are busy with rotating karaoke and live music. No food is served here. The beer is good and a decent cider collection is welcome. There is a large beer garden and a large outdoor seating area on the street front. Recommend a visit.

Came here for work... Micheal is the current landlord, top bloke very welcoming. The pub looks great from top to bottom... Photos show that Micheal has this place looking very fresh, very clean and inviting The wheatsheaf Offers Pool, Darts, live sports and large beer garden, photo shows daily events that are held here... Large Carpark is shared and belongs to the pub... It is free to use (unrestricted) and has no cameras with 8 bays reserved for Sainsbury's with them having a sign saying 30mins. Great local pub but currently not serving food at this time... (This may change in the future). 😎

I got told to leave because a woman upset a male customer , unfair staff won’t be returning. nice reply! After talking to the police i had the opportunity to press charges against the man due to him and his friend attacking me and fellow people that where not regulars also backing my side. i was removed due to the police thinking it was a good idea due to there being around 5 individuals in the group the police gave me a lift home to make sure I wasn’t followed and assaulted again! thankyou for showing to everyone that your regulars are more important the the publics safety! also this is a true account been doing reviews for along time! Also i didn't try to hit someone, i got held by a headlock from behind then proceeded to get hit from the front in self defence i got the man of me and walked away. as witness by witnesses and they stated to the police.

This was once a great pub to have a drink in, unfortunately this is no longer the case. The service is hit and miss, depending on whether staff are smoking or playing pool. The landlord is rather rude to customers and lacks customer service skills, his attitude is poor which creates an unenjoyable atmosphere within the pub. It's not a welcoming pub to sit and enjoy a drink anymore. It's good they run different nights and show sport but it never seems that busy anymore.

We been there Sunday evening after having a meal in Oxford, the guy from the restaurant suggest us this nice pub just reopened close by ! We get there before 23.00 and the lady behind the counter told us that we could go away because the pub is closed, ( meanwhile talking with us, she was pouring beer for her 3 or 4 friends that was still drinking inside the premises, ) she suggest us to go to the next pub down the road, She said ::: is Better then this one :::: so you can all imagine the desire of work that this lady has !! I will fire this staff right now if I was the owner ! We won’t be back !

Great place in the most normal town in the uk..the place is crowded during game nights.. good, friendly staff..the food is pretty good. They do have a good yard outside, especially good during summer. They do have ample parking space..it isn't a long way from didcot making it a great spot. I've come to love their burgers. During christmas season, we've had mulled wine, which was fab.. They do have ample seating and oh wait before i forget, they have a pool table, a dart board and some good old fashioned casino model game stations.. Overall a great place

Visited the village of Didcot with some friends. Encountered upon the Wheatsheaf, with a little bit of luck.First impression was, clinically clean, what are you hiding? The answer nothing.The pub is clean, fresh and with a staff that are knowledgeable, and accommodating. The facilities were immaculate, and that it why I say clinical. You can eat your food off the toilet seat.Although food was not consumed; I witnessed, a steady flow of pub regulars.Would I come again? I haven’t been kicked out yet!!

Nice cafe situated in the old bank. Staff are always pleasant and nice choice of cakes. Tea nicely served in pots on wooden trays and cakes nicely served on wooden platters. Reasonably priced. Tiffin cake was nice but a bit stodgy. Very dog friendly with free doggy treats. The cleanest toilet ever! Unfortunately there was an overpowering background chemical smell in the cafe. Would definitely visit again.
