Wheatsheaf Inn in Winchester

Dropped in for a lunchtime bite to eat and a beer, and certainly wasn't disappointed. A good selection of locally brewed beers and a very good choice of meals or snacks available. Beer straight from the barrel! A brilliant, friendly pub. The pub has extended into the building alongside, creating much larger seating and entertainment areas. Good sized garden, and plenty of parking over the road. Good to chat with the staff and watch the banter with the locals. Well worth a visit.

Use to visit this Pub lots years ago popped in recently and what a wonderful surprise different people but the same atmosphere I remember good beer smiling socialable customer's banter humour wit just about everything that makes a British pub such a wonderful institution super

My Husband and I popped in for lunch today. Fabulous meal and super atmosphere. We will definitely be going back 😊

Food, nothing to talk about It's ok but nothing special, over priced for what you get

Fantastic pub great pint did not eat but the selection of choice was good lovely garden

Local pub. Seemed dated , but served fresh cask beer that was well kept

Great little pub with a real 'old fashioned' feel about it. Welcoming staff and friendly locals. There is parking directly outside the property...but be aware...this requires that you reverse out onto a road with a bend, that restricts your vision and conversely that of any car using that road. Safer by far to use the car park opposite...but be careful walking across the road!!! No music, no TV sports, no tracksuit wearing hoards, just great beer and a lovely garden. Worth a visit. UPDATE: It has been 6 years+ since I posted this review, but a visit today has cause for this important update. If you choose to pay by card, be aware that they have a minimum charge of £10.00!!! As my visit was a solo one and I was driving (I never have more than 1 pint if I'm behind the wheel), this automatically excluded me from buying a drink. But you are inside and at the bar before you are given this information? Surely it warrants a notice on the door? It all seems very unfriendly to those without cash!!!

We came for a good pint of pots and were not disappointed. Lovely pub.

Very nice lunch and fantastic beer selection

Great choice of ales. Didn't have food but menu looks good.

Excellent. A delicious meal, great beer and friendly service. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Excellent selection of real ales in traditional pub, casks poured from direct and stored behind the bar, dog friendly and plentiful, just be careful where and how u park as limited visibility and road outside is used as a race track by many

The Bar Staff and chef were amazing after a long drive from South Wales skipping breakfast..we missed the kitchen reaturant times.for lunch they close at 14.00 .however they went above a beyound..made us feel welcome and accommodating with nice snacks to fill.an ex rugby player..shame we couldn't make the evening entertainment as it sounded fun with a live band..we hope to visit again when we pass through again.thank you..

Lovely pub, home cooked food and a beautiful garden 👍👍

Huge thanks to the lovely lady who directed us elsewhere for food tonight. Very much appreciated. Even booked us a table. Thank you so much. Above and beyond. Regards

Didn't try the food. My mates curry looked special. Quality beers

Been drinking here and decided to have lunch with my wife. Food absolutely lovely. Tasty, honest, very fresh crisp salad, all delicious and good price as well. Staff and owners are just lovely. Had a peek in the beer garden as well which is very nice and secluded 👍

Excellent real ale excellent food food served 12 til 2

Great country pub, good choice of beer and tasty food.

Really nice old pub, just had a pint in the beer garden.

Always worth a visit for some excellent Flower Pots beer

Follow Mr & Mrs R on TikTok. Smashing traditional, semi rural pub. Real ale straight from the barrel and lovely cellar chilled ciders fresh from the cellar. Plenty of room inside the pub and a big real sun trap garden out the back. Food is plenty full, well prepared and presented. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good ale and food at a affordable price. Fount of pub parking or there is big car park on the opposite side of the road.

Brilliant friendly pub that we have been going to for years Sally and Tim are great hosts Sally's food is legendary Bex and Emma are hilarious Totally recommended 👌

I don't know how we have not been in this pub before, we have driven past it many times, Perhaps because it is quite unassuming on the outside, on a well used road. However, the pub is full of charm with a car park opposite. Staff were friendly and food wholesome. I had salt and pepper squid followed by a steak and ale casserole. 😋 Will definitely be back.

Proper pub. Great selection of ales and cider, and live music on a Saturday night.

Great ales and a beautiful garden to enjoy them in.

Great pub, fantastic beer and food, served by friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

A traditional pub with excellent beer.

Great wee pub. Well kept and served local ales, a warm welcome from staff and customers alike.

Lovely pub, well kept ale, it's all about the ale. Hardly ever eat there, but it's good pub grub. Filling. Beautiful garden.

Nice for a Saturday lunch. Shame the wine selection is limited.

Great real ale pub with amazingly staff who where friendly and welcoming - we felt right at home celebrating a birthday and will definitely return, 5 out of 5 for a proper country pub 👍

Nice local pub, everyone seemed friendly, food was great, dogs everywhere - who wouldn't like coming here 🙂

Nice traditional pub with good ales and food

Great place! Lovely staff, very welcoming. Had a nice evening here ☺️ will definitely be coming back

Great pub. Really good ales and cheap n cheerful homecooked food. A proper pub. Nice menu not the same boring rubbish everywhere else serves. Done well without gimmicks. A real find.

Best real ale freehouse in Hampshire! Fabulous beer and lunch time food, I recommend trying the landlady's large breast (chicken), liberally smothered in Tim's secret cajun dressing 😉

Excellent food and good service plus value for money

Fantastic beer and awesome landlords

Emma and Becky are just brilliant!!some of the best ale ever !!great night out

Usual excellent food and flowerpots ale. Highly recommended.

Good beer @ a good price, and good pub food.

Great selection of Beers and friendly staff.

Says home made on the menu and it definately was. Absolutely lovely. Would highly recomend the Cajun chicken and the lasagne😊

Lovely pub with a great selection of local beers

First time at this pub and wont be the last. Nice real ales very nice atmosphere

Love the choices of beers and food. Lovely friendly village pub!

Great pub with friendly staff, excellent selection of ales and very good prices too.

A very welcoming place to visit very friendly food excellent home cooking. Good real ales.

Always a friendly welcome (but then I have known the landlord for too many years too remember!) Great fresh cooked food, well kept real ale & nice wines! Plus as you can see it's a dog friendly pub!👍😁

A pub where conversation rules. I am an occasional visitor when passing. The beer is always excellent and is competitively priced. The ham ploughman's was very good quality and the other food coming out of the kitchen looked excellent

A great pub with an emphasis on real ale. A quiet friendly atmosphere and well organised for the covid restrictions. Normally holds live music events either indoors or outside in the well tendered garden. Dog friendly too. Highly recommended.

Great beers and food in the sun. Staff are amazing 👏😍

Nice pub great bitters good covid precautions

Great beer. Friendly landlord. Had a great evening

Awesome, as ever. Lovely garden that allows for easy social distancing

Been going to the wheatsheaf for about 3 years it's been an OK pub some nice people in there. John the head barman, grumpy sod but a mate, you'll get to like him we do! OK small garden, food well cooked by Sally. Staff in general nce you always get a few unfriendly ones in every pub! Pub dogs lovely definitely a pub of 2 half's, though beer usually good but here's the problem 3 price increases in about a year is taking the piss! Real ale made by god knows who is really very good home brew too expensive! And the only way to make a point is by walking, which is a great shame and I'm a regular 5 tlmes a wk but enoughs enough will pop in once in a while if I'm not barred but hayho life goes on. Swampy.

Excellent beer nice surroundings

Excellent meal and beer. Friendly staff.

Loved it. The locals were so friendly and welcoming and the choice of real ales was superb. Would recommend it to anyone.

Small cosy pub with a good varied menu. Well presented food at a very reasonable price.

Marvellous mince pies and piano playing in a great pub

Wonderfully friendly staff and Great Beer and food

Lovely pub. Had the spicy five bean hotpot. Lovely. And lovely beer. Very reasonably priced. Would definitely return .

I enjoyed it with one of my forever friends.

Visited on a Saturday early evening. Clearly a locals pub and basic interior but cosy and a good selection of local ales. Reasonably priced. Nice garden out the back and a good drop off on a cycle ride.
