Wheatsheaf in North Lincolnshire

We chose the carvery at our 6.30pm Thursday booking. But on requesting a slice of pork and a slice of beef (which was barely only approx 3" square) we were told that "management didn't allow this!" The beef incidently was very tough and chewy! The accompaniments were tired and sad, presumably after being kept warm for a long period prior to our meal. With exception to the carrots, the greens were too crisp for my liking in comparison. I had to spit the roast potatoes out in the end as they were just impossible to chew, and the yorkshires were like tough soggy tasteless cardboard! To round off this extremely poor experience, the gravy was like dishwater and settled in a swimmy pool on the bottom of our plates instead of coating the food as would be expected! We did complain of course, but we're just told "Sorry" and that they've had complaints of tough beef before!!! Altogether a very disappointing experience. A real shame because the place and it's decor were really pleasant! We might go back at some stage to try the menu but will definitely NOT be having the carvery!

Haven’t been here for a few years, as we had had a couple of bad meals, so stopping visiting. Noted the change of management etc, so thought would give it another try. Booked a table for 630 on a Saturday night, and the place wasn’t busy. Starters and mains came up quickly and were all hot, plentiful and tasty. Only quibble is the menu says chips, not the huge ‘wedges’ that were served. Appreciate these are probably made on-site, but would never describe them as chips. Fish was succulent and fellow diners said their gammons were very tasty. However when it came to desserts, this is when it all went wrong and it became a comedy of errors. Took our order, 1 treacle sponge and 2 roulades (1 with cream, 1 with ice-cream) and 1 latte coffee. Returned couple of minutes later to advise they had run out of treacle sponge. Offered the opportunity to order an alternative, but there wasn’t anything else fancied so we cancelled that dessert. Returned again 5 mins later to advise the coffee machine could not make lattes, so did we want to change the order – this was changed to a cappuccino. Returned again 5 mins later to advise the machine couldn’t make cappuccino but they could make a de-caf in the kitchen. This was declined and no replacement ordered. Returned yet again 5 mins later to advise they had no vanilla ice-cream, so did we want cream on that roulade – we agreed. After an additional 15 mins of waiting, we chased up on our desserts, and were advised they wouldn’t be long, and apologies were offered with the reason the kitchen was very busy. We looked around the restaurant – it wasn’t even half full, with only 4 tables appearing to be occupied (which included us). After another 5 mins we asked if the desserts had even been started, because if not, we were cancelling. They hadn’t, so we cancelled the order and asked for the bill. This then had to be returned as we were still being charged for all three desserts and the coffee. So after a promising start, we were left frustrated with the chaos over coffee and desserts. It is such a shame, but we have agreed it would take a lot to tempt us back again.

Very pleasant updated place, we went for 6.30pm meal and chose the £7.95 carvery. Very disappointing to be honest! There were 2 meat choices, but we were challenged when we asked for a slice of each, the chef said he wasn't supposed to offer this??? Unbelievable!!! What difference does it make to their profits? Never come across this before...ever! And to make it worse, the teeny weeny (3"×3")slice of beef was impossibly tough. The accompaniments were very sad and tired, yorkshire puddings were like soggy cardboard and had to be torn apart as the knife couldn't handle it, I had to spit the roast potatoes out in the end because no amount of chewing was working. The veggies were barely cooked and much too crisp for my liking and the gravy, although quite tasty, was so runny, it puddled at the bottom of our plates! The chef admitted that all the lids were keeping the food from view because "it had been a bit of a day" presumably meaning he was trying to keep it warm! (Exactly for just how long, he didn't say) I had to leave most of my meal, and didn't feel at all satisfied! I went for the chocolate peanut butter stack for dessert which was actually very good! If we went back at all, it would be to order from the menu, and definitely avoid the carvery!

Awesome food, very attentive staff

The four of us visited today, Sunday 20th October for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed! My sister lives in the village & mentioned that the establishment has recently changed hands ( taken over by the owners of The Red Lion in Redbourne) & were now serving excellent food. We all decided to have the carvery and the food was absolutely delicious. A choice of 3 meats with superb selection of vegetables, despite our table being booked for 4pm there was still plenty of choice. I lived in the village in the early 80’s and worked as a waitress in the pub dining room here. It was very emotional revisiting the place, with the same warm atmosphere, & wonderfully accommodating and extremely hardworking staff, nothing was too much trouble. The bar staff, waitresses and management were delightful, but in particular a mention for the wonderful Kyle, part of the management team who served us our carvery and was incredibly warm and attentive, ensuring that our every need was catered for. He went to the trouble of arranging a doggy bag for the left over meat etc’ to take home for my sister’s dogs which was incredibly thoughtful and kind! We loved it so much, we have booked again next Sunday lunch to treat our 88 year old Dad who also lived in the village and has fond memories of the pub in the 80’s. Thank you once again to Kyle and his team! What a lovely experience! ❤️👌😊

Lovely food and a good atmosphere for a quiz night on a Thursday night but they should ban phones from tables if you know what I mean....

Absolutely perfect. We called in on the off chance on a Sunday lunch. Service was spot on, and we were accommodated even though it was busy. We chose the carvery, and it was faultless with very generous portions of meat. Very reasonable price. Also has Sky for those liking sport. We would highly recommend you give it a try. Plenty of car parking and located easily on a main road.

Had a fantastic meal to celebrate our 38th Wedding anniversary. Food was beautifully cooked and a good portion. Quick friendly service in pleasant dining room

Carvery Monday and Thursday. Specials every day!

Had a lovely family meal. Delicious food and a great service. The steak pie was the best I’ve had in a long time. A lovely pub.

We had a very nice meal good value

Was very relaxed, friendly plus food was great, very good portions

Amazing service and gorgeous carvery today. Made even better that the dog was welcome as well. Thanks will be back and will recommend you to others.

A family meal out had begun to turn into a bit of a nightmare owing to certain dietary requirements but we were saved by the Wheatsheaf back in our home village !As a party of six we were shown to a lovely table in the window by a friendly waitress and drinks orders taken.The very friendly landlord went out of his way with advice on our certain choices of meals.All six meals arrived hot ,looked and were delicious ! All in all we had a lovely family meal out with good food and friendly knowledgeable,welcoming staff.We'll be back !

Good quiz and food included in entrance fee for quiz Few people on phone whilst doing quiz , including the winners - makes you wonder

Went there for a first date meal, food and service was impeccable, and for anyone interested. The date went better than either of us could have expected.

I was at the Wheatsheaf for the bike night it was very busy and the car park was jam packed with bikes

Hairs in multiple plates of food, filthy glasses with crumbs in the bottom, drinks tasted off, low quality of food, staff unprofessional and overall chaotic experience.

Recently visited the Wheatsheaf as staying in North Killingholme. Very nice reception from Christy the bar maid. Ordered our dinner, Christy went off duty. Kayla took over bought our meals over. Very nice woman. Lovely food. Good Service. Good value for money. Service with a smile. Will definitely go back.

OK place, food not really up to much. We had Pepsi and lemonade not good either really enough said its a shame it could be a real gold mine.

Good food great service lovely decor

Had a lovely carvery here last sunday.Service good and food excellent.

Just moved to Hibaldstow and had a meal in the restaurant, it was delicious. Glad it is now our local!

Not had a bad meal here yet, always served by extremely friendly and helpful staff.

We had a Mothering Sunday lunch and the mothers got a glass of prosecco and a lovely bookmark and the meal was enjoyed by all four. 👍🥂

Not a great experience this Mother’s Day. Arrived and were led straight to our table, but the waitress made several mistakes with our drinks and food orders, then when the bill came we hadn’t been charged according to the Mothers Day special so had to ask for that to be done, at this point we realised we hadn’t received the complimentary presecco for the mums in the group either. The carvery was reasonably good - the meat was a little dry and the roast potatoes were old and stale. The veg was lovely and the stuffing was superb. Deserts weren’t great - the sticky toffee pudding was a square slither of stodge (you could stand the spoon up in it) and the ice cream sundaes were just three scoops of freezer-burnt ice cream with whipped cream on top. The chocolate fudge cake was great. So a mixed bag - some of the food was brilliant, others needed work, and the service was patchy.

We were a party of 10, we decided on a carvery after friends had a great experience themselves. My wife had recently celebrated her 40th birthday, and the meal was to get some of her family together. We rang and booked the table in the week with us being a large party to make sure we could all be sat together. We all decided on the carvery and was told when we could all go up to collect it. The carvery area is a little cramped, but I imagine most parties are table of four where this wouldn’t be an issue, but ten of us queued up meant we had to queue up the corridor. This in itself wasn’t a problem, it just meant to was a little cramped when being served. The food was amazing. Most of us opted for the large plate, two younger ones had the regular plate. We all had plenty of meat. The options were Beef, Turkey and Pork. All were very tasty. Roast potatoes were great. Two choices of stuffing balls, one with cranberry and a meaty version. Again, very nice. Being a veg dodger I didn’t partake, but those that did said it was great, as were the Yorkshire puddings. The staff were very friendly and polite. It had been years since I have been in, but due to our friend recommendation and our recent visit, we will be back again as a family of four in the future. Thank you.

Went for Sunday lunch the carvery was excellent washed down with a couple of black sheep beers,also a good choice of puddings, the staff were great, friendly and efficient, I would definitely recommend a visit.

Been coming here for many years, food and service always excellent, dave the landlord is very accommodating and always good for a laugh, and kayla is an absolute star food is excellent and well priced, plenty of drinks options, one of our favourite establishments, look forward to the valentines day meal

Amazing. Just amazing. The best value for money in the county and trust me we've tried it all. Outstanding taste, huge portions for reasonable price. Exceptional carvery but the standard menu will satisfy you also for sure. Honestly, you must try it, your loss if not

An excellent restaurant with great service. The quality and variety of the Sunday carvery was excellent.

We visited this wonderful pub for the first time on the 12th December2023 for my daughter's birthday. The food was just perfect, and plentiful. We had a one and a half year old with us and without asking, we were asked if we would like his food serving first. The service was first class. We were looked after wonderfully by a gentleman and lady all the way through the meal. On leaving, my daughter was even given a very thoughtful present. First visit, first class food, first class service! What more could you ask for! Thank you for looking after us so well!

Cannot recommend this place enough for incredible homemade food it really does set the difference from standard “pub grub”, staff are all wonderful very friendly and helpful will definitely be making the effort to coming back regularly!

Food excellent, but because there was 20 of us the service was a bit slow.

Sunday lunch was nice, service and welcome could have been better. No clear welcome or explanation about menu ordering etc.

The worst service I have ever experienced. Over 30 minutes for the food to come out, rather greasy and lacking taste. The barman and the waitress spent most of the time talking, we had to interrupt them to get more drinks. Table not cleared and no one came to ask if we wanted dessert. Watched one gentleman having to collect his own cutlery and condiments in order to be able to eat his meal! The waitress and bar staff need a lot of training to provide any form of customer service. This was a shame as the pub could be quite a nice venue.

Really friendly staff, food was gorgeous and it is such a smashing pub with friendly locals and a lovely restaurant. Good choice of beers too. This is our second visit and both times we have been really well looked after. We will be back!

Great friendly village pub and excellent food! Can't fault it! You won't be disappointed!

Had my birthday meal here last night with my family. I have ceolac disease and there were plenty of choice. I had steak with peppercorn sauce, onion rings and chips. The portion size was great 👍 I even had a gulten free treacle pudding with custard. The other also said how good there food was they had curry, stroganoff, curry and hunters chicken and pudding that they all enjoy. I even got a free glass of wine for my birthday

This was a brilliant experience. I wasn't expecting much for the price but was surprised by how pleasant the hotel and room were. Thanks Dave (landlord) for your friendly banter and welcoming ways.

Called in today for Fish and Chip Friday fantastic value for money, top notch food. Very friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely be going back in the near future.

Good food good service will return

Visited with family. We had a baby with us, they were really accommodating. Sunday roast was a carvery and was outstanding. Three meats to choose from and, all great. Veg was limited to 3 options but cooked really well and the Yorkshire puddings and stuffing was great. Desserts were all home made and great portions. Outstanding value and a really good experience.

Easy friendly check in free parking too room had everything you needed hairdryer tea tray etc bed was a bit squashy for us but you can't have everything breakfast was tea and toast but served with a smile so happy days dave the guy in charge is a diamond can't do a enough for you bar prices are fair plenty of choice didn't have food but smells from the kitchen we're good

Nice food, lovely staff, will go back

We had a brilliant meal good service as usual

Great pub with lovely food and staff.

Called in for tea on a friend's recommendation. Found it was "Pie night" So we both had Steak and Ale pie . There was a slight wait as the pies were being freshly made . They were excellent and great chips too . Would highly recommend.

Really good food. Great pub with plenty of space and tables inside including a pool table.

Enjoyed a lovely impromptu visit. Welcoming staff, great menu selection and cold beer on tap! Food was fantastic, I would highly recommend. We will be back!!

Great gaff and the landlord appears decent! A rarity these days.

Very good meal and staff friendly even when I forgot to pay as I walked out embarrassed as I went back in to pay ,I will go back for another time

We had a meal here yesterday . Ten adults ,one toddler and two babies were seated swiftly , nothing is too much trouble for the staff , Dave is a pleasure to natter to , and the food was superb . Most of the adults opted for a lunch time special which was pie chips peas and gravy . All freshly cooked and of a high standard . The value for money offered was superb , especially with a free dessert with the specials .

Awesome Food. Great Service. Exterior the Downside ie Drably Painted and Building surrounded by Weeds......

First class meal with excellent service.

Tasty food. I had the pie! Lovely.

Fish an chip Friday's are worth getting out of bed for! lol (5pm >)

Food and service were lovely. Simple nicely decorated room and quiet relaxed atmosphere. Little remote pub well worth a visit.

Restaurant service was great, girls worked very hard but still managed to have a chit chat. Did not get the owners name but he was very friendly with funny little quips. We did have to wait 40 mins for our meals but we were informed before we ordered so we had the choice, they were very busy. Really enjoyed our meals. Will be going back to try the carvery.

We’ve been a few times now and although the pub looks a little rough and ready from the outside we’ve always had a warm welcome and great friendly service. It’s not the warmest pub (but nowhere seems to be at the moment either) A nice menu with specials aswell, the portion sizes are good and the homemade chips (which aren’t frozen!) are lovely. We will be returning and would recommend

First visit to this pub today and have to say it was the best food, best service and friendliest staff, highly recommend. Even offered to change our table so I could bring my cranky old Yorkshire terrier in to sit near the fireplace- outstanding and will be a regular from now on

Absolutely outstanding service and food staff worked hard to make sure everything was fantastic. thoroughly enjoyed it from all at table 3 :)

What an excellent restaurant, food superb, staff very helpful, would thoroughly recommend

Excellent food, friendly staff & value for money. We shall definitely be going again. Highly recommended.

Went to my granddaughter/ son and daughter inlaw celebrating 20 anniversary, warm welcome friendly The food was excellent, did us proud

Excellent meal. Catered very well for one of our party who is celiac. Staff very friendly

Nice pub, food looked fantastic

Stayed here Friday night. Staff were lovely. Our room was nice. Everything you needed and very clean. No cooked breakfast in the morning. But what was on offer was ample ( cereal toast, tea, coffee and fruit juice)

Fantastic pub, cosy, decent music, food is lovely and friendly atmosphere

Went for lunch today, 7 of us, mainly carvey. 6 had carvey, they went out of their way to do me fish and chips. It was absolutely amazing. Staff and owner are so lovely. I highly reccomend this place. Well deserve 5 stars.

I ordered Haddock chips and peas here on Friday and have to say it was one of the best tasting pieces of haddock I've eaten in a long time. Fresh, great texture, perfectly cooked in a lovely tasting thin crispy batter. They even served it on a proper plate! Will be returning for more.

Great meal out. Fish and chips Friday. All home made and cooked fresh. Went the extra mile for me being gluten and dairy free. We'll be back soon. Recommended

We were made to feel very welcome. We were a party of 11 and the service was excellent. The food was delicious and the portions very generous.

My partner and I booked a very last minute night away for a much-needed break. Booked Friday evening, and arrived the next day. From the moment i booked, the communication was great. We received confirmation straight away, and a further message confirming our requested check in time. Check in at 2pm was appreciated, giving us more time together being just a one night break. The Wheatsheaf was easy to find. And parking was ample and easy. We were welcomed and shown straight to our room. The room was good. The bed and pillows were particularly comfortable, and the shower was really good- powerful and kept good temperature. A luxury as ours at home isn't great! Room facilities included a TV and tea/coffee making facilties. Bare in mind this is a pub and restaurant with rooms, not a hotel. So go with appropriate expectations. The focus is on the pub and food. That's not to say the rooms aren't good, they are! The food was very good quality. We met the chef, Craig, who appeared proud of his work and took time to tell us about his dishes. We're looking forward to returning to try curry night - Craig told us he was trained by an indian chef and makes a great curry. Looking forward to that on our next visit! On this occasion we had the steak-night deal. We both found our steaks perfectly cooked to our liking and with great accompaniments. The chips were very nice. And the lemon roly poly was amazing ! We stayed on to try the carvery on the Sunday. We were again very happy with this. The homemade Yorkshire puddings and the roast potatoes were highlights for me, along with the homemade gravy. Dave the owner was wonderful and went out of his way for us. The restaurant manager Tracey, who happens to be the wife of chef Craig, organised the restaurant very well. We were seated promptly both times and served served in good time. Wait times for food were good too. We will definitely be returning and would like to thanks all staff. Kinds regards, Helen and Ronnie x

Had a lovely meal for my birthday

Went for a family lunch as a birthday treat, certainly wasn't disappointed, food excellent service excellent Tracy and her team were great and meeting the chef who spoke to us about one of the party having a nut allergy, was great. Certainly worth a drive...

Called for lunch today - 2 couples Two had the fish Friday deal which included desert. The fish was enormous and delicious. So much so they had to bring dessert home. One meat pie and one “grilled” garlic chicken with new potatoes and salad, For...

Beautifully cooked food. Pleasant environment. Great service. 👍

had a lovely Sunday lunch all good, little bit of a wait but that's expected as it was very busy, good food good atmosphere, advise you to book early if you want to try 1200hours to 1600hours only on a Sunday 👍

Awesome food friendly staff just make sure your hungry before you get there as portions are great size.

Really nice pub with super lovely staff and owner. Service was great and food was delicious. They will even make things that aren't on the menu to accommodate vegans and vegetarians. Defo worth a visit!

Excellent food and service, Sunday carvery at its best.

Called in without pre-booking after a long drive. The staff were friendly, helpful and really obliging. We had tasty meals, one veggie, one meaty, with puddings and drinks for a very reasonable price. Looking forward to going again.

Sunday carvery. Selection of 4 meats and lots of hand prepared vegetables. Everything is home made. Craig the head chef came over and asked if everything was ok, he was genuine in his efforts. Overall, great food, nice relaxed atmosphere, worth every penny. I wish I had saved room for puddings, they sounded amazing.

Stumbled on this pub after giving up on Brigg “we stop food at 7pm!). The staff were very friendly and squeezed me in on a busy night. The chicken breast pot cooked was absolutely delicious. I said so and the young chef kindly came out...

Touring the area, astonished to be told in a Brigg pub that they stopped food at 7pm! But this pub gladly fitted me in on a busy night. A local at the bar told me “Don’t worry. This is good!” He was right. Pot-cooked chicken was absolutely delicious and when I complimented the very nice staff the young chef even came out to thank me! He was asst chef there before going to college and returning as head. Good luck to him and the friendly bar staff. Pleasant unspoilt feel to the interior too.

We had carvery Many veg overcooked many undercooked Otherwise OK Don't think we will return

We have just got back from a lovely family meal at the Wheatsheaf. The food was amazing as always and my kids absolutely love coming here. Cannot fault the staff at all, they always go above and beyond especially with my kids which is why...

Lovely evening meal out with husband and kids. Some of the nicest pub grub we've had! Definitely worth a visit.

Clean tidy and great value for money. Restaurant y was very good. Thanks very much. We will come again.

Had fish friday special, cant fault it.Best pub grub I've had and dessert included ,spot on!service was great too!

Really excellent carvery today. My son (from Derby) said it was the best he's had

Visited with a friend after a day skydiving. On arrival we were greeted and asked if we were dining. A drinks order was taken and enough time was given to look at the menu. We both had the chicken curry and rice. Very good meal...

10/10 food was probably the best I've had for a long time! chef was absolutely fab, came out to explain what was in the foods etc and adapted it to family tastes. Will 100% be returning very soon.

Would highly recommend this country pub, fantastic food, lovely ambiance, landlord and staff thoroughly look after you. If you give the chef a few days warning with a specific request he will try to cater to your needs. We went on quiz night and had

Went with a group of 6 , who all had excellant meals . Owner went out of his way to greet/speak to us . Friendly atmosphere and lovely food . Highly reccomend , but advise booking as was very busy .

Really great meal here today. Friendly, helpful staff. The food was great quality, and generous portions. A hidden gem!

Another fantastic meal at Bournemouth local. We don't eat out regularly but this is a fantastic meal near to home. The staff are friendly and attentive but never hover over you. Great food and brilliant service. Highly recommended.

Quality food, presented well. Friendly staff. Inside it's clean, traditional and modern. Definitely one to go to if you're in the area or even worth the drive out. 👍

Staff were Really nice and friendly and the food was good although the beef was really under cooked I didn't mind but if you don't like to see blood in your meat do t have the beef. Plus not everyone likes cauliflower cheese love cauliflower but with cheese no .
