Wheatsheaf Inn in North Tyneside

The food at the Whatsheaf is superb. All cooked freshly on the premises. The portions are huge .. . The staff are very pleasant and very helpful .. There is a quiz on on a Thursday evening also .

We came on Saturday evening, The owner who came out to serve us has an absolutely disgusting attitude and was very rude, her customer service skills are non existent and made us feel like we were some sort of nusance for being there, the way she snatched the menus from the table then had no manners. We spent £60+ on 4 meals, the food was absolutely delicious apart from the tartare sauce which was to accompany the fish, it smelled like toilet duck or some sort of lemon disinfectant. The little dark haired girl who seemed to be doing everything was really nice and friendly, if it wasn’t for her who was lovely, well mannered and helpful I think we would have all walked out and told the rude owner we would take our business else where. We will not be returning in a hurry while that owner is still in charge.

Had a lovely meal, fish and chips and rabbit and black pudding pie with chips and veg. With a pint cider and a hobgoblin for just over £30

Visited for Sunday lunch after a recommendation. Very reasonably priced tasty food. I had the homemade rabbit and black pudding pie which was excellent. The beef and lamb were also both good with a good selection of vegetables. It would be even better with turnip in my opinion. A special mention to our server who was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. I’ll Definitely visit again.

Absolutely shocking service! Served me a pint (possibly in dirty glass or after cleaning the pipes) and refused to give a refund or an alternative drink! The lady claiming being a manager got no people skills at all! All our group said it taste funny, she still kept being arrogant and rude! AVOID!!!

The Wheatsheaf Inn is on our doorstep so it was a lovely surprise to find a lovely friendly and comfortable place for our family gathering. The staff were great and the food was enjoyed by everyone. You need to go with a big appetite as the portions were generous. There is a good range of starters/main meals and bar meals on offer without being too overwhelming. Well done to all at Wheatsheaf for providing a good local service.

If you are in the area you need to give this place a try, proper home made pub food that doesn’t disappoint. Portions are large, no scrimping on sizes here, food is served hot and fresh. My wife’s steak and kidney pie would have given Desperate Dan a challenge, packed with succulent steak with a lovely shortcrust pastry , my halloumi flat bread was large, well put together with fresh herbs added for extra taste. Service is prompt and friendly. Value for money was very good. The only think that disappointed us was that we couldn’t finish both our meals, it was such a shame to leave such lovely food. We will be back again I am sure.

Loved our visit. The food was amazing. My brother had homemade venison pie which was to die for. I had roast beef which was falling apart with tenderness. We had deserts too including homemade cheesecake. Very good value too. Left absolutely stuffed!

Beautiful Sunday lunch. More importantly happy, pleasant staff who obviously enjoy their job! 10/10 customer service today

We had Sunday lunch today and it was the best we have had at any place around here. The staff were all lovely and friendly, very efficient and looked after us well. The meal itself you could not fault. Everything is freshly cooked, lovely tender meat, Huge Yorkshire’s and all very tasty. We couldn’t manage desert, but there was a good selection to choose from. It was busy so I would recommend you book.

Visited today for a couple of Sunday afternoon drinks. Husband went to the bar to order to be told they were too busy to serve a drink? Asked again and was tutted at and told "we are so busy" whilst eye rolling.... pubs are struggling, if that's your attitude to paying customers your doors will close. We will stick to Shiremoor farm in future, nice staff and a cleaner pub!

We for works Xmas lunch It was yummy fresh hot and very tasty The starters were huge and delicious The main came with loads of fresh veg The the deserts were delicious, great service and excellent food

We went this evening for an early dinner before the theatre and we weren’t disappointed. The specials menu offers amazing value and something different from the mundane food on offer locally from venison loin to pheasant sausages there’s defiantly a game feel to the menu which is perfect for the winter nights. I had the goats cheese tartlet my partner the mushrooms to start, followed by ox cheek and mash, and the chicken in cream sauce both were delicious and no extra charge for terrine of vegetables to accompany them. Another bonus was homemade chips! What more can you want… 2 people, 2 courses £37. With a roaring fire in the pub it’s cheaper than putting the heating on so we’ll be back next week.

We go here for Sunday lunch regularly and are never dissapointed, if you are hungry try the large pies. We also went for a Saturday teatime meal of Chicken and Salmon both were excellent (see photos)

A very disappointing, unwelcoming visit with a very strange ordering system. Upon arrival, I went into the bar to order drinks and food whilst my husband and young child sat outside. I was told by a weary and depressed looking woman (who later told me that she was the manager) that because they ‘didn’t want to get into the same situation as yesterday’ where it was very busy, food orders would be taken at the table and she then began complaining about how ‘bad’ last night had been. She also said, ‘I just wish people would book.’ After this, she told a young girl to come and take our order after the table who were seated next to us. Not a very friendly welcome, but nevertheless I headed outside and waited for someone to come and take our order. Twenty minutes went by and no one came. I went inside and asked if someone could take our order. I was told no and that I had to wait. We waited a further ten minutes and still no one came. At this point, we decided to just pay for our drinks as it had been half an hour and leave. The manager was not at all apologetic and we left feeling confused and let down.

Walked in at approximately 6.20 pm on a Sunday evening after a 25 minute walk on recommendations from friends to be told on arrival they are closed despite many people being in and cars in car park. The lady was quite rude and absolutely not...

It was very busy so you need to book. The Sunday lunch was delicious. I had the lamb and my husband had the rabbit pie

A friendly welcome on arrival. A little off of the beaten track but well worth a visit. The Aberdeen Angus burger was delicious and the Cajun chicken burger also got top marks from my husband . The real homemade chips were spot on. A very...

Very poorly presented menu and slow service.....the chicken was absolutely disgusting and obviously not fresh, very chewy and jelly like. The waitress offered me a replacement meal after complaining, so i ordered the salmon risotto which came after another 30 minutes. This was equally disgusting...

Barman was very friendly and helpful. Wasn't very busy at first but still had a lovely atmosphere. The chips were homemade and the chef made us some lovely garlic mayo. It has been decorated since I was last in and it looks really nice and...

Fantastic Xmas meal last Friday. Good portions and quality. Friendly atmosphere. Sorry cannot attach photo its too large!

Wonderful food. We had chicken and Ox cheek. Well presented especially the beautiful swan raspberry pavlova and the freshly cooked vegetable selection. Lovely friendly waitress (even though her foot was in plaster!) and the bar staff were pleasant and helpful too. This was our first...

Horrible Rude dark haired woman serving has no manners. Have read a review in May which is very much like the awful attitude we had from her this Saturday. We have been lots of times previously and although the pub is in need of a...

Only giving one star because I can't give zero. It's mentioned in another review that the manageress has brain damage. Well they aren't wrong. She is a nut case. It's a shame because the food is usually really good. I walked in to the bar...

Absolute beautiful food, service a little slow but can't hide away the quality main meal,would eat and recommend again

I popped in today to have a look at the menu when looking for somewhere for lunch. When given the menu, there was not ONE vegetarian option. I asked if there was any vegetarian meals, and the girl said she would have to speak to the chef. In this day and age, I don't think there is any excuse for not having vegetarian options. I walked away because there shouldn't have to be a conversation about what you could make. Have it on your menu.

Upon arrival I asked a member of staff if we could order drinks and be served outside. They said yes, take a seat and someone will be right out to take your order. 25 mins later, nothing. I popped inside to ask if it would...

My hubnd I have just had Sunday lunch. The taste of both my pork and my husbands beef was wonderful. Veg perfectly cooked and staff great.

Came in for a belated birthday meal with the mrs without the kids. We had Curried parsnip soup and chicken liver parfait. Mains we had Venison pie (hearty portion) with potatoes and veg & slow cooked rib of beef with red wine sauce (amazing). For...

Visited yesterday for Sunday lunch. Food no better that that produced by a somewhat below average home cook. Main problem was the total lack of social distancing, the back of my chair was only about six inches from the back of a chair on the...

Great to have such inexpensive places open safely during the pandemic. Excellent menu, and in safe environment. Thanks to good management.

Clicky pub staff had bad attitude went to for food but left after the attutude of rude staff will not be returning

saw good reviews on sunday lunch so gave it a try. average at best. the food was cooked that was it. no seasoning,no extra effort on flavour. however, the desert was excellent. home made cheesecake very nice

Great place for a quiet lunch. Food is in house made, portion sizes are great too. Reasonably priced.

We ate here on Saturday,early evening. We received vouchers as a Christmas gift, what a lovely present that turned out to be.We both had starters, cod & chorizo fishcakes, chicken liver parfait. Both were tasty & generous. For mains I had pheasant breast, wrapped in parma ham, stuffed with a herb mousseline. This was served with a sauce, and plentiful vegetables. Everything was beautifully cooked, I loved it.My husband opted for pheasant pie, he chose chips to go with it. This was a very generous portion and really delicious. No room for puds!We will definately return, the value was very good.Its lovely to find another place for our Saturday night meal out.

Sitting here now on a sunday evening enjoying a beautiful pint by the fire. Fancied a snack and the staff let us have some left over roasties and Yorkshires and gravy! They were beautiful! And such a fair price!! I wish I lived closer so this could be my local!

Phoned up at 12.30 to see if we could book a table for 2 of us. They didn’t have a table til 2.30. When we got there it was starting to quieten down. We were seated and served quickly. We both had the lamb which was beautifully cooked with generous amounts of veg. We then had a blueberry and white chocolate cheesecake and a crumble with custard. Both of which were lovely. Good, friendly service. 1st visit for us but we’ll be back. Only regret was that we didn’t have more than a £1 in cash to tip and there’s no option to do this on the card machine.

We have visited twice and been highly impressed. Starters are all 4.95, my garlic mushrooms didn't disappoint whilst my partner had the game meatballs. We both opted for the roast beef which came with homemade Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, seasonal veg and lovely rich gravy. We just about managed the homemade cheesecake and crumble to finish off. Mains are 9.95 and desserts 4.95. Everything is of the best quality and homemade including the desserts. Excellent value considering the generous portions. Pleasant dining area and nice staff.

We went for our wedding anniversary. The meal was excellent and great value for money. It's menu is varied and imaginative and freshly cooked. The staff were very welcoming and it has a great gin menu.

This is the third visit to this pub in the last few months , it never disappoints the food is wholesome and tasty. We all cleared our plates I had the roast pork with crackling, pork was tender and succulent.Do not leave without having a dessert my mum and partner had the homemade cheesecake they said it was the best cheesecake they have ever had and believe me my partner has cheesecake everytime we eat out! Also recommend the sticky toffee pudding with liquorice icecream, delicious. This sunday lunch is fabulous value.

Good choice of menu, reasonably priced, and food always freshly cooked. Would unreservedly recommend

Although a little dark the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely and has a great game menu which is pretty unique

I took my Mother here for Sunday lunch. She is a stranger to the northern side of the Tyne but on a visit to see me and grab some shopping nearby I found this pub through google. I have eaten at the nearby Shiremoor House Farm a few times and wanted to try somewhere new. Despite the most recent reviews being negative I still thought it might be worth a try. It was a wet and dreary day and the restaurant area was fully booked, but we were invited to eat in the bar area, which was perfectly acceptable.

We were regular visitors, however, we experienced unacceptable and disappointing customer customer service when raised concerns about one of our meals. We ordered 4 Sunday lunches which as usual where very good, we ordered a chicken and mushroom pie which came with a raw pastry base. This was quietly mentioned to the waiting on staff, who immediately apologised. We presented ourselves to pay the bill and a female staff member who claimed to be one of the management team informed us that she had taken a few pounds off due to the pie. When we explained that the pie was not edible and therefore ruined the meal, we politely requested a full refund for the pie meal. The response was unique, that the guest had eaten a bit of the meal, and they could have simply eaten the filling if the pastry was raw. We were eventually given a full refund for the pie dish by a very angry and disgruntled employee. We will never return.

Another lunchtime visit to The Wheatsheaf and I think this meal was even better than before. I chose venison loin with beetroot and Anna potatoes. The venison was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. My friend had a great dish of belly pork with black pudding and chips. There were lovely fresh vegetables. As always, the service was friendly and efficient and prices amazingly reasonable. I don't know why this place isn't packed out every day, it is wonderful!

I can’t be bothered to list what was wrong with Carvery simply because all items were disgusting There is an alternative 500 meters away- use it!

A pleasant cosy venue offering a varied menu instead of the bog-standard choices on offer at most of the pubs in the surrounding area.

Went for lunch today - superb! I had venison, bacon and leek pie - outstanding. Husband had fish and chips which he said was beautiful. Portions are big and therefore could not fit in a dessert. As it is freshly preparedyou do have to wait around 20 mins but it is well worth the wait!

Been going twice a week for the last two months I cannot book as we have a dog so we have to hope that the couple of seats in the bar aren’t taken .no bother if taken.but yesterday went in asked for menu after 45 minutes we asked if we could get service,,your not allowed to go to bar to be served,, was told not taking walk ins that day we had been in two days earlyer could of told us then or when I asked for menu we do like the food but will never go again

Called in after shopping in nearby Boundary Mill, Myself and another pheasant from the special board which was so tasty and different, black pudding was one of the best I’ve had, another family member had the famous pie which also looked delicious and gravy looked like proper homemade goodness, he ate every morsel and could have eaten it again it was so nice. Anyway this place was so good we have booked for Xmas day! Can’t wait! Also staff were really relaxed and super friendly. Top marks, I’m sure we will be back before Xmas it was that good!

Fabulous Sunday lunch in excellent relaxed atmosphere, with first class service from the staff. We have lunched here on 2 occasions now and would recommend this establishment to anyone. Great value.

After a long cold day walking we ended up eating here - great pizza and an amazing price and the staff was helpful in good recommendations for beer. Would highly recommend this spot!

After many, many, years of not having visited this delightful pub, we happened to pass by and were shocked to see the inexpensive, wide choice of menu. Seeing the quality of food on plates and plates being returned clean, was testament to its quality. We indulged in conversation with other customers to find the chef cooks amazing pies depending upon the selection of meat available in local market. Our particular day he had cooked rabbit and black pudding pie. Amazing size, chips like old fashioned chips and fresh veg.

Ate here Saturday 20th. April. The food was delicious and in our opinion the best value for money in the area. We shall be back and unreservedly recommend this pub to anyone. Thank you and compliments to the chef.

Arrived for dinner and ordered starters of lentil soup,which was very thick and peppery but ok, and the Tai fishcakes, which were disgusting. They were as tasteless as cheap chicken nuggets and quite frankly could have been anything!

Finally found a local pub that does a decent home made lunch. Taste the difference of food hand made not from a packet. Friendly staff and free parking. Own new Tuesday lunch date, home made pie was lovely.

Its a long long time since we have been to the Wheatsheaf and when passing we thought we would give it a try for a change , it has recently been renovated and is now very smart indeed both inside and out. The range of drinks are as you would expect and as we were just having a quick lunch I had the Coors on draught and the missus a j2o as she was driving , both most acceptable. The food is all locally sourced and the menu reflects that with everything cooked fresh to order. I had a Steak sandwich and the missus a Prawn sandwich both of which were excellent. Whoever the local butcher is that they use should be commended. The presentation and quality were superb at a reasonable price. The service was very good . The full main meals that other diners were having looked very good too and many gave compliments so we will look forward to returning to try a meal sometime soon. A good find this one !.

We took the family out for Sunday lunch. Plenty choose from the menu, small plates for the grandchildren. Varied dishes or grandson had the smoked hare loin and really enjoyed it as he loves his meat. Rabbit pie, game pie and a choice of roasts. The portions are really generous if you have a starter.

Have visited twice recently for evening meal and have not been disappointed by the lovely home cooked food and generous portions.

Great friendly pub eatery. Staff are great, food exceptionally good and plentiful. Venison, game, pheasant etc usually on menu. Value for money also exceptional. Full score Tina for a well managed friendly establishment, fully recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good home cooked food.

We booked here with a group of friends for an evening meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my order of game pie and vegetables. The staff were pleasant and the service was good. I would highly recommend the Wheatsheaf Inn and hope to dine here again in the future.

This was a fab night meeting new friends and finding excellent wines what a great night and fab value for money please look out for their special themed nights you won’t be disappointed on top of a great food menu this place is a unique place to eat or drink not the run of the mill franchise place it’s special and has an excellent menu which can’t be beaten

Had a really nice meal chicken burger with real chips / steak open sandwich very well cooked and great value for money, service very good will definitely been returning

Booked here for Sunday lunch. Was a large party and the staff were very accommodating. As soon as we arrived were told our table was being set up, we only had to wait 5 minutes before we were shown to our table which was up the little stairs and felt like nice quiet private dining. Drinks were reasonably priced. Ordered quickly, food came quickly and was lovely - I felt at first that £9.95 for a dinner was a tad steep but the size of them proved me wrong - you get generous amounts of meat where as usually places charge an arm and a leg for a plate of veg. The staff were all so lovely and the service was excellent.

Called here one lunchtime, venison and leek pie was delightful as was the pleasant service. No complaints whatsoever and can highly recommend.

Had intended to try this place a year or two ago but didn’t get past the porch as it looked so neglected. Knew it had changed hands so decided to give it another go. Young lady was very pleasant and helpful, as was the guy. We both ordered baguettes which were very nice but the only problem is the lack of choice. It was either prawn with Marie rose sauce (and it came minus sauce which was soon rectified when the missing item was pointed out) or cheese no selections to go with the cheese just cheese. There was a nice salad accompaniment along with Doritos. Unfortunately purely due to lack of choice with the menu we won’t be returning. However if this changes we will certainly return. Main courses looked inviting but as I’m vegetarian again choice was limited.

Best chilli nachos ever .... have recently been on holiday and ordered in a Mexican restaurant so expected to match if not bet the Wheatsheaf nachos... God was I disappointed so I just want to praise Andy for the best chilli nachos ever don’t go anywhere else here’s the best

We weren't sure what to make of this place when we walked in. Everything was spotlessly clean, the furnishings were of a decent quality and the lady who was serving us was all smiles and attentive. My first thoughts were that it all looked a bit pretentious and would cost us.

We hadn’t been to this place since it used to be a Thai Restaurant so we thought we would try it.

Had beef sunday dinner (they had run out of lamb as usual) and the meal was nice and there was plenty of it. However the visit was spoiled when my son fell in a large mound of dog muck inside the beer garden. When we raised this with the staff they were fairly apologetic, and said that the majority of dog owners are responsible. However there was a dog running around loose in the beer garden. They should have told the owner (who seemed to be a regular) to keep it on a lead, as clearly he doesnt know what the dog is doing when it is out of sight. I'm all for dog friendly pubs, but until they decide to keep the dogs under control then I wont be going back. Would appreciate a response from the manager on this.

We have never been here before but went as a spare of the moment thing not knowing what to expect. Wow what a nice surprise we got, food was Delicious especially ‘Andrews special pie’ which consisted of venison,ham and leek I’m so glad I chose it. Pie came with Veg + potatoes. My husband got the sirloin steak which he said was amazing had garlic and prawns on top & it came with chips. Prices reasonable, service great, decor average but homely. We will definitely be back

We were a party of three for lunch. On arrival the place was empty of customers. We ordered our food and after a short wait it arrived and was extremely good and we did enjoy it. However at no time did anyone return to us to ask if the food was alright and when we finished we sat for quite some time with empty plates in front of us. Only one more person came in to eat during this time so being busy was not an excuse they could use. Poor service will drive customers away so get it together people.

Simplicity 24 get a life and stop putting down good traditional pubs, in the old days these were coaching stops and dogs were always there, “ doggy smells” in the resturant don’t know where your nose was but it wasn’t there, oh sorry I think I do know where your nose is. The Wheatsheaf is a good family all welcome style of pub, wish we had more of them.

We visit this establishment on a regular basis. It is mainly to socialize with the abundant of doggy owners or friends who appreciate dogs, but we have also tried the food on a few occasions which has never disappointed. It has a separate dinning area for customers and families, also catering for parties but you can also dine in the bar area with your dog. We have never experienced any nasty doggy smells. We have always been made very welcome and look forward to the laughs and general conversations with others The friends we have made in the Wheatsheaf Inn makes it a wonderful place to go.

This is a dog friendly bar with a separate dog free restaurant for the best food in the north east . If you want a friend drink where you can relax with your dog or a fine dining experience this is the place for you .. With friendly helpful staff you will find this bar meets all your needs .. can I also add that I was in this bar on a day when there was a number of customers with their dogs and it did not smell of dogs .. A must visit bar with friendly staff and customers . Tina ,Andy & Alan well done

This pub has as many dogs as it does humans crowding the bar. If your thing is the smell of dog whist dinning this is a real gem if not give it miss and watch out for the drinking bowls on the floor.

After visiting here on Friday night not sure why it was so quiet, there are other pubs out of the way that get busy and are really not half as good as this place , the food was excellant and o high restaurant quality

I have visited the Wheatsheaf twice, once at lunchtime and once in the evening. At lunchtime it was very quiet, which I think is due to its location. In the evening it was busier with a nice atmosphere. The food is excellent. Starters, such as crab risotto and a trio of fishcakes are delicious. There is a good range of main courses including wonderful pies with proper short crust pastry. Portions are large, so no room for pudding! The service is attentive and friendly and prices are very reasonable. The Wheatsheaf is well worth a visit!

Saturday afternoon could not have been better spent!

went today for lunch (5/7/18 with family one who came over from usa, she had vegi Burger for a change from meat and fish, she summed it up as the best shes tasted withe the chips (from a land where chips are crisps and french fries are funny stick things, My wif had the Chicken in white sauce with bacon, she wouldn't stop eating to reply, but the piece to resistance has to be the Rabbit and Black Pudding pie, with veg, Oh and not forgetting the the friendly and attentive staff, THANKS>

I recently came here for food and was really pleased. I thought it was more a local drink type of pub with some bar meals, well be prepared to be surprised they do lots of different types of food and it's bloody lovely, proper home made chips and all reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. I will be going back for more!

Visited The Wheatsheaf after it was recommended by close friend and was not disappointed. We were a group of 7 adults and 2 children. We had reserved seating to ensure we could all sit comfortably together. The pub is well presented, comfortable seating, log fire which was welcome given the snowy weather. Usual drinks on offer. Food though was outstanding, Venison Pie was great, Sunday lunches of Lamb, Chicken, Beef or Pork were highly recommended. Some had starters some had puddings, Black Pudding starter was great, Crab cakes excellent. Puddings - Ginger sponge, ice cream, cheesecake were all very tasty. Can only support my friends view that this is a great place to take family/friends for lunch. We will be visiting again.

Friendly and welcoming. Food is great value: big portions and moderately priced. Tasty food, especially the chips and salad. Newly refurbished toilets are good. Pub itself could probably do with a lick of paint but who cares when all that really matters is the service and the food.

Tried this inn for dinner and what an excellent choice it was, Great food, interesting menu and very nice service. Will definitely go back.

Every time I’ve visited we’ve always had great friendly service. and the food is just outstanding!!! Fresh, home cooked and very plentiful. Exceptional value for money! Venison is just divine 😊

I have been here a few times and the food is very nice. The price is reasonable and the restaurant is clean

Every time I’ve visited we’ve always had great friendly service and the food is just outstanding!!! Fresh, home cooked and very plentiful. Exceptional value for money! Venison is just divine 😊

Just tucked nicely away off the main road this pub gives the feeling of being a friendly, country retreat. Very good bar service where you are warmly greeted as if you were a regular. Good pub bar meals giving value for money. A nice place to simply sit and enjoy a reasonably priiced glass of wine.

We pre-ordered for Christmas dinner. We were really looking forward to it after a lovely Christmas dinner last year. We were so disappointed. Tables not set for Christmas, a couple of cheap crackers were unceremoniously dumped on the table after we were seated. No festive atmosphere at all. Dinner came floating in a ring of grease followed by a bowl of cold vegetables. We sent the veg back, by the time they has reheated them we had nearly finished our reconstituted turkey. We did eat it as we were starving. The waitress was very apologetic and said she hoped our dessert was better, unfortunately she had her finger up her nose at the time and if we hadn't already been put off we were after that. Declined dessert and made a hasty exit. Don't waste you money was a total let down. Our Christmas night out lasted less than 30 minutes.

I have reviewed this place in the past and all ways found it to be good,not tonight without doubt one of the worst meals I have had out .No atmosphere,apart from two cheap Christmas crackers dumped on the table after we sat down ,I had been asked to pre order,so within in minutes of sitting dozen out came a sorry looking plate of food mash two roast potatoes and processed turkey all surrounded by a ring of grease,then arrived a dish of cold vegetables,hard sprouts it was awful ,the veg was taken away and reheated other food growing cold.The waitress came and asked if everything was ok ,I said no ,she had her finger up her nose all the time playing with a nose stud,she asked if we wanted dessert,at that point I had enough and decided it was time to leave.At the bar a message came saying the (chef) ha ,was asking what the problem was I then refused to pay for both meals and payed for one ,in my opinion still too much.Dont was really time and money in this place .

The staff there were not welcoming or positive in any way.

I visited with my grandfather and we both had pheasant breast and it was fantastic. It came with black pudding which was the best I have ever tasted.

Food was delicious here. Staff made it really easy to organise a work do. Everyone was very pleased with the food. I had the burger which was full of flavour. Hand cooked chips were perfect. Very helpful staff. Recommend

Ordered fish and chips sirloin steak beef burger and steak sandwich fish and chips were ok my wife had steak sandwich which consisted of stale bread the steak was not seasoned really fatty and inedible sirloin steak unseasoned fatty and very tough to eat burger tasteless !! my wife complained to staff person said they could not reduce the price of the meal as there was no manager available but apologised to her, I'm not one to complain but it was absolutely terrible PLEASE PLEASE don't waste your money we won't be going back

Visited Wednesday 25th October 2017

Arrived approx 5.45pm thought we would have tea some where different. Asked at the bar about meals etc. Told to sit where ever and a menu would be brought over. Finally got a menu after a lengthy wait. Approx 3 other couples in eating. Waitress came back asking for our order. Gave her my menu choice & was told drinks only for now. what on earth? I then explained we only wanted food not a drinks she said again drinks only for now. Obviously food wasn't a priority for this place. Looked decent but what a shame we didn't find out & wont be visiting again.

My husband and I visited the Wheatsheaf, after being rudely addressed by a staff member at Shiremoor House Farm! I was celebrating my birthday and we were so pleased we came here. The place is clean, warm and very welcoming. The staff are helpful, keen and eager to please. My meal was delicious, the starter of crumbed prawns and dip arrived speedily and was very tasty. My salmon fillet with prawn and peas risotto was scrumptious. The sweet of mango and peach cheesecake with coconut ice cream was yummy. Unfortunately they don't do de-caffeinated coffee so I had hot water and lemon instead. I was really impressed with the standard of food, including the portion sizes. This is definitely one to visit, especially on a Sunday lunchtime. Well done to all the staff. We'll be calling again, maybe through the week to try a different menu.

Twice now we have been to The Wheatsheaf on a Thursday and the service was dreadful. The food was excellent, but, when you have to wait for service because the staff are more interested in doing the quiz, it gets a more than a little annoying. Must remember not to go on Thursday!!!

We called to have a meal and a drink in the restaurant on the 7th September at around 7.30 pm. I bought a couple of drinks and we sat in the restaurant & waited & waited & waited some more! Zzzzzzzz!!! No sign of a blackboard with descriptions of meals, no sign of any menus anywhere, and the waiting staff simply walked past us frequently, completely ignoring us. Not a word of greeting or acknowledgement of our existence was made.Eventually, finished our drinks & gave up on any hope of being served, when there were only three other tables occupied by customers, so the place was not busy. Went down to Copperfield's at the Grand Hotel in Tynemouth, where the staff spotted us without difficulty and we had a really good meal.From recent reviews the meals sound good at the Wheatsheaf but unfortunately we will probably never know whether they are.

Nice pub inside, friendly staff. Not over priced. Toilets were dated. Reminded me of walking into an old swimming baths. But had obviously been scrubbed from top to bottom. Some toilets that you walk into make you think these need ripping out & the stuff burning. These toilets weren't like that. Ordered slow cooked lamb shank. Came with nice veggies but lamb was tough. The chef asked me how it was. So I told him Lamb was tough. Hopefully that will make him cook it slower. No vat number because they've only just taken over. Could see that they'd put a lot of work into the presentation of the place. New carpets and the pub was clean throughout. I get the feeling the owners will be disappointed when they read about the Lamb. They seem to care about the place which is always a good thing. So would give them the benefit of the doubt & eat here again if I was passing. They're obviously giving it a good go which you can't fault anyone for.
