The Wheatsheaf Inn in Eastbourne

Had a pleasant lunch all fresco. The main dishes were interesting and tasty. Portions generous. The service excellent and the atmosphere relaxed. The apple and rhubarb crumble however was disappointing. More like a muesli breakfast topping. Slightly overpriced.

Met some friends here we’re all local. Nice garden but that where it ends. The menu choices were poor and the prices ridiculously expensive as were the portions. We had a sandwich the bread was hard and it looked so unappealing and a small cup of 7 chips. And our friends got the same with their burger. Also I had to return my drink as I found hair in it and also my husband found the same in his pint. The drinks were overpriced as it was. I was disappointed really and won’t be going back, the pub seems to have lost its way

Drinks were very expensive. Absolutely hate the spotlights. Used to live in this pub but as my friend said as we were leaving- it looks a traditional pub from outside but inside it's now a brightly lit restaurant. Went to a nearby pub instead which actually felt like a pub- and was miles cheaper.

My friend and I had an absolutely superb meal. Our food was delicious, hot, beautifully presented and the service was first class. The pub is clean and the staff so friendly and welcoming. We are now going to make this a regular venue for our get togethers. I had the belly pork and my friend had the chicken burger. Thoroughly enjoyable. Would totally recommend a visit. We are lucky as this is quite local for us.

Had a very tasty Sunday lunch. Lovely food, very good portion size and wonderful atmosphere. Although local had not been here for years. Very happy with current owners, refurbishments, food and marvellous staff!! Cannot wait to visit again. Thank you!!

Absolutely shocking, we had booked over a month ago & were phoned at 4pm the day before our booking to be told that they did not serve food on a Tuesday. As this was during the ATP tennis we had difficulty finding alternative. AVOID

All things: athmosphere, kindness, service, drinks and food are absolutely A-M-A-Z-IN-G! The two friendly ladies staff give this pleace the sense of special and cozy pub. The meal are suberp!

It’s a great traditional British pub. Food excellent and service good. Prices very reasonable. What else can I say! We live in Devon and it was a welcome change.

Popped In here today after spotting it on a google search Lovely friendly welcome from the owners, great choice of beers and sprits and wines, had lunch food was fabulous all home made, and great size portions Highly recommended will deffo come back if in the area again

Lovely pub - good food - great service / staff. Had a great lunch with super service & dog friendly too.

We came here on sunday and had the vegan Wellington roast and for dessert we had the biscoff cheesecake and raspberry sorbet. This was the most delicious roast and the cheesecake and sorbet was divine! The staff were so friendly and welcoming, really really lovely people!! and the food came out really fast! We have our eyes on some other vegan food they provide we are definitely going to come here more and more everything was absolutely amazing!

Booked a table in the garden and weren’t disappointed. Food was excellent - can highly recommend the burger. Looking forward to trying out the new menu soon.

Dinner on Saturday night with a best friend. Our first visit to a pub since Boris lets off the hook. The 're booted' Wheatsheaf is seriously impressive inside and out. The food is outstanding, service with a smile and very engaging and it was very nice to see packed for the weekend back indoors, all socially required measures in place mind you. My only small comment is i would like a few more beers on tap craft IPA's or Pale Ale or maybe that's just me thinking that. Anyways cant wait to go back

Went to this absolutely picturesque pub today for Sunday roast , the staff were so friendly and the landlady, Karen, couldn’t of done more for us , the food arrived and for both of us this was the nicest roast dinner we have had for such a long time , roast potatoes just like your mum makes , melt in the mouth beef , from start to finish just superb , will be back next Sunday for more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

being over 81 and cannot walk far and corona virus as well we needed a walk and rediscovered this pub, we tried it and were very pleasantly surprised. the welcome was genuine and although very busy we were shown a seat, menu tea and coffee provided and a substantial and fresh food provided, well done to all concerned.

Sunday lunch amazing. Great service lovely decor and lovely staff. Plenty of space inside and out. Also outside covered area

Couldn’t wait to try out morning coffee and cake following the end of the 2nd lockdown, we certainly weren’t disappointed. The cake was beautiful and moist, the cheese scone an absolute delight and the toast truly scrumptious!! Thank you!

No puedo calificar este lugar lo suficiente. Ambiente familiar. Volumen de la música alterado a nuestro gusto. Un pequeño error con las patatas fritas veganas no siendo veganas; Sin abrir ni intercambiar, llegó a nuestra mesa un plato lleno de nachos veganos. He estado aquí antes con las vibraciones amistosas de esta visita, pero esta visita superó y superó cualquier visita de antes. Visitará muchas veces en el futuro. El pub del futuro.

Sunday Lunch was excellent In every way and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Really great time, we will return

Excelente servicio de entrega, hice un pequeño pedido de alimentos esenciales y me encantó la rápida entrega. La calidad de la comida era excelente y muy fresca, así que definitivamente ordenaré semanalmente.El pub también ofrece comidas de su menú que están disponibles calientes, frías o congeladas.La señora que tomó mi pedido fue muy servicial, amable y sentí que nada era demasiado problema.Muchas gracias.

News years eve at the Wheatsheaf was brilliant, we had a set menu dinner and the food was cracking, they also laid on a free buffet later, great people, great times, hats off to the bar staff especially Angie who looked after us all night

Era nuestra primera vez aquí y, de hecho, no será la última, sin duda, el servicio era muy bueno y amable y la comida también era buena y sabrosa (ver fotos).Solo se ofrecía el menú de Navidad, así que me gustaría volver a probar el menú estándar.RecomendadoDisfrutar

Great little pub that was full of atmosphere as the rugby was on. Service was attentive and beer was good. Clearly well looked after pumps

I used to be a frequent visitor to the Wheatsheaf but not been for a while since moving further from the pub. Visited last night and was really surprised how abrupt one of the staff was (I think it was either the owner or manager),not just to us but also the way they spoke to their staff. Really felt unwelcoming from the moment we walked in. Needless to say we won’t be returning!

Tuve el MEJOR almuerzo del domingo hoy con la familia. La opción de asado era carne de res, cordero y cerdo. Optamos por la carne de res y el cordero. ¡DIOS MIO! La carne estaba tierna, las papas asadas estaban sublimemente crujientes y la salsa para morirse. Nos dieron patatas crujientes extra y salsa extra. El servicio fue excelente; la comida estaba caliente y sabrosa y cumplía todos los requisitos. Un pub familiar con todos ayudando para que sea una experiencia gastronómica maravillosa y un ambiente fantástico: el personal es amable y nada es demasiado pedir. Muy recomendable para una comida encantadora y un ambiente encantador! 10/10! !La cena se completó con crujiente de manzana y helado de melaza. ¡Soñador!

El café lounge Wheatsheaf fue una buena idea, pero parece que no ha funcionado. Ya no está abierto para el café. Su hora de apertura es ahora a las 11 am.Red Lion no está abierto hasta las 12 PERO Chalk Farm and Garden está abierto para tomar café. Ver página separada.

Los increíbles propietarios y el personal de Wheatsheaf amablemente me permitieron realizar un concurso de pub de caridad en su lugar en el que reuní mucho más de lo esperado.Realmente no puedo agradecerles lo suficiente por ser tan serviciales, haciendo malabares trabajando en el bar ordenando mesas y sillas con sirviendo comida y manteniendo el lugar organizado (lo cual debería haber hecho mejor en retrospectiva). Sin el arduo trabajo del personal, habría tenido dificultades para hacerlo tan bien, ¡así que gracias a todos!Definitivamente regresaré muchas veces al Wheatsheaf, ya que tiene un ambiente encantador y bebidas a precios razonables. También me gustaría probar la comida en el futuro.El jardín también es muy bonito :)

Great sharing cheese platter with a couple of beers early evening. Easily enough for two or three hungery folks at the end of a busy day.

Este es un gran pub para reunirse con amigos, tomar una copa, escuchar un ect de la banda, pero no es un buen pub para una comida. El pescado y las papas fritas que se servían eran particularmente malos y solo podían describirse como una comida barata de cafetería, pero no a un precio barato. . La hamburguesa de pollo del sur es muy cara a los 14. 00 para una comida de estilo café. Tenía un par de aperitivos y estaban bien, pero no volvería a comer una comida principal aquí. Sin duda volveremos a este encantador pub aunque para bebidas con amigos.

Se reunieron con algunos amigos, habían comido un almuerzo de domingo aquí y dijeron que estaba bien. Creo que tener que tomar una foto del menú en la otra barra de tu teléfono es un poco cutre, pero eso es lo que parecían hacer en el resto del mundo. El menú parecía básico todos los complementos para una hamburguesa bastante descarada. Elegí Cod and Chips, por 11 pensé que el sonido estaba recién batido y sabroso. Qué equivocado era el pescado y las patatas fritas más baratos que he tenido en cualquier lugar. Las cucharadas hechas parecen un restaurante de 5 estrellas. El margen de ganancia en esa comida debe haber sido enorme.

Have visited here a couple of times now and enjoyed coffee and scones (great selection) one visit and on a previous occasion a tasty lunch (the menu has a great variety of choices). Staff friendly and efficient even when busy

Always pop in here for a bite to eat. Portion sizes are amazing. Friendly staff and good choice of drink .

Convenient meeting place, nice to stop for coffee/cake. Selection not available and quite a wait. Scones and cakes were nice.

Food was superb and not overpriced .service was excellent and attentive but not intrusive, could not fault it. Would highly recommend.

Acabamos de tener un almuerzo familiar aquí. El resultado final es 6 platos vacíos y todos dicen "es el mejor almuerzo que han tenido". Wow, qué cumplido pero tan rico merecido. Si desea un excelente almuerzo familiar en un pub tradicional de Sussex, no busque más que Wheatsheaf en Willingdon. ???

He tenido la intención de visitar una comida durante unas pocas semanas, ya que escuché cosas buenas sobre la comida aquí. No me decepcionó. Recomiendo encarecidamente la hamburguesa, tan deliciosa. Yo estaba en un grupo de 3 y tuvimos una hamburguesa, un indio y el pastel. Todos disfrutamos mucho de nuestra comida y definitivamente volveremos pronto por más de lo mismo.

Visité aquí el domingo por la noche para tomar una copa tranquila. Solía ser un pub local encantador cuando visitábamos, sin embargo, parece haber cambiado bastante.

Dispuesto a reunirse con amigos aquí debido a la facilidad de estacionamiento. No pensé en mirar el menú. Es una comida normal de pub. El menú solo tenía cosas de tipo listo con rellenos o chaquetas o bocadillos de bar en 3 cada uno y se combinan para hacer una comida de todo tipo. Así que elegí las salchichas. Eran incomibles. Como masticar un palo. Se los quitaron rápidamente y también se borraron del menú, pero a pesar de eso me dejaron con un plato de papas fritas para comer mientras mis amigos comían. Ah, sí, había una sopa que no había en el menú. Aunque lamentablemente solo era cálido y sin sabor alguno. Lamentablemente, nos fuimos diciendo que el año que viene, como miembros del club de golf Willddon, simplemente iríamos a la calle donde menos podamos estar seguros de la buena comida. (Abierto al público) .

Visited tonight with a few mates, haven't been in for a long time, but I have to say what a change the pub has undertook. New staff, great beer and great service, friendly happy staff. Nice to see.

No atmosphere. long waiting time at the bar with one lady on (Saturday afternoon!). Finally a chap appeared to help but was unfriendly & put no care what so ever into our drinks. Cheap tonic used & the cocktail menu was swiftly snatched from my hands with a "we're not doing those" comment from the cheesed off bar man. We had one expensive round & left not even enquiring about food.

I noticed on Facebook that there is a coffee and cake place within this pub now, it's closed on Mondays and shuts at 3pm most days, except weekends when it shuts at 4pm.

Had a lovely lunch with a friend. Lunch menu is varied and cakes look yummy. However the 'front of house' chap wasnt very welcoming, hence the lower review.

Last evening after a long journey, we needed to eat, and as the other pub in the village was full, we decided to try the Wheatsheaf.

I love the wheatsheaf, the variety of beers available and the bar snacks are always welcomed.

We went in here last week for a drink after the local church fair as it was so hot.

Been here a couple times now when visiting family lovley pub nice beer garden when weather is good nice decent people not to bad prices place has a good feel i like it. 4 stars cause some of the staff are quite poor last time i was in there the bloke looked like he and just woken up and the lady didnt even no what drink we wanted but oh well still and noce place will come again soon

Second visit with you and I must say.... WHAT’S HAPPENED!! Complete new staff turn over who have no idea of customer service... would rather chat and drink at the bar.. we was going to order food, but on realising the lady chef what was there before wasn’t there this time... we got up walked out and wasn’t even acknowledged!! Would NOT recommend this place!!

What a great find, I've lived here for 40 years and never been before, that will change..

Served by two youngsters that didn't have a clue . If you drink Lager don't go here Fosters was absolutely flat as a witches bosom . £4.10 for flat Fosters wont be going back get some staff that speak English and know what there serving .

Came for a pub lunch followed by coffee in the next door Coffee Lounge. Beautiful, quaint country pub. Excellent food and superb service. Dog friendly. 10/10.

We had several drinks at this old pub. Good range of ales and wines. Food is basic but OK. Pleasant proprietors and very atmospheric. We were there in the middle of a beer festival and the celebrations spilled into the street complete with Morris Dancers. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

De passage sur notre retour de vacances, nous avons dîné par hasard dans ce pub, et quelle belle découverte !!! Au-delà de la "pub food" classique et bonne, nous avons passé une vraie soirée anglaise avec une super ambiance. Très facile de discuter avec les clients et le personnel,on a tout de suite eu l'impression de faire partie des habitués ! La soirée était animée avec un quiz de culture générale (malheureusement impensable d'animer une soirée comme ça en France...) et c'était franchement marrant et sympa. Très très bon souvenir pour nous !

This is a great pub/restaurant - Food is typical pub grub but done very well, large selection of beers available and the staff are very friendly, they have live music most Saturdays and there is usually a great athmospere

Un amigo y yo vinimos para comer el domingo pasado, estaba muy lleno y el ambiente era genial. El. el personal amable y salchichas y puré que tuvimos era muy sabroso, el chef señora que nos trajeron nuestras comidas era muy bonita Ella se aseguró de que tuviéramos todo lo que necesitábamos y no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros, era agradable que el chef salió como la mayoría de los lugares en los que he estado no ver normalmente, así que es un buen toque. . Sin duda volveremos y lo recomendaría a amigos y familiares.

Fui a la de trigos con mi familia después de haber oído que había un nuevo chef. No creo que este era verdad! El personal del bar eran encantadores y muy atentos. El resto de la experiencia fue muy decepcionante. Me sentí muy deteriorado y monótona dentro. Pedimos nuestra comida, calamares ordenados, lo que sin duda de una bolsa del congelador y estaba hecha, por lo que incluso el bateador era duro. No podía comer a todos ellos y a la izquierda, la mayoría de ellos. Me dio la sensación de hambre. Espero que este pub puedes encontrar su chispa, ya que podría ser una joya local.

He visitado previamente los trigos en el verano por su festival de la cerveza brillante fin de semana de agosto fiesta, pero más recientemente fuimos allí para el almuerzo. El menú era variado, con un vegetariano y un par de exigente ¡ en remolque, aún...

Tenía comida de Navidad aquí con unos 15 colegas y la comida era estupenda. Buenas porciones y muy sabroso. Un entorno agradable en un pub de pueblo tradicional. Altamente recomendado

Yo había estado un par de veces antes, pero nunca había probado la comida. Pero desde nuestra última visita sin duda volveremos para más

Love this pub fir it's atmosphere, beer and wonderful summer beer festival, but we're very disappointed in the lunch we just had. With so many lovely pubs nearby they really need to up there game, we will definitely not return for lunch again. Our side of chips were smothered in salt, something that should be left to personal choice. The ' baguette' was the end of a very soft roll, certainly not fresh bread, and the dude salad was poor. Such a shame when you pay to eat out and could have done do much better at home. The barman also was a little slow with service to say the least, and seemed to find the menu difficult to interpret during orders (not just say ours) - had to check if cheese was the same as cheddar! Somewhere I want to be able to return to as, as previously mentioned, I really like this pub, but PLEASE do something about the food.

We have been going to the Wheatsheaf for many years and it is a lovely pub. But! If you order food, be prepared to wait! We have visited on a number of occasions with friends as we think it is a great example of what an English pub should be. But we have, on the last 3 or 4 times, ended up apologising to our friends for the ridiculous length of time it has taken for the food to arrive, and then, I'm afraid, for the quality of what has been put in front of us. Sad to say it will be a long time before we go there again for anything other than a drink.

Good choice of Real ales. Friendly, helpful staff. Would be perfect if it had an open fire as would 'cosy' the place up or even candles to make it look more welcoming, just a little drab in the winter.

On a whim, yesterday, I ventured to my local pub. For lunch I enjoyed a superb home made chicken curry with side order as prepared by Engine. Highly recommended

This is a fantastic village pub tucked into the corner of Church Street in Willingdon. As teachers we only get to go along to jam night on Wednesdays during the holidays but the live music is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. This pub has lots of nooks and crannies and comfortable seats if you prefer a more chilled out evening. New manager is really friendly and welcoming, having done wonders getting great bands in at weekends as well. New Food menu is lovely, quick and really reasonably priced.

Lovely pub with good beer and great staff/punters. Always feel really welcome. They also have a fab jam night every Wednesday night.

I absolutely adore this pub! It is a traditional, English, country pub! The decor is lovely and the garden I do think is a must have! It is a delightful place to either have a casual drink or to go for dinner.I have been here on numerous occasions. I went with my sister just before I went to uni and had a lovely dinner - the game pie was fantastic! Drinks kept rolling! I also went here with my parents, sister and boyfriend for the quiz on a Tuesday night which was such a laugh!I will always return to this pub and would recommend it to everyone!

To be honest, you wouldn't come here for gourmet dining, but for a great pub selling good beer and affordable and pleasant bar food it is difficult to beat.

A quaint, traditional, "ye-olde-inn" nestled away in Willingdon Village - the perfect place to finish up a beautiful walk across the South Downs with a cold drink and some lovely food. Wednesday and Saturday nights are always popular too with live music on these days every week, plus the weekly quiz on Tuesdays always makes for a lighthearted challenge!The Wheatsheaf offers a really welcoming atmosphere from the chatty locals and friendly/smiley staff to the old, low beams and trinkets on the wall - it really is somewhere where you could spend the whole afternoon relaxing in a comfy chair (or the beer garden if it's warm enough!)Since recently becoming manager, the lovely Alison has introduced a small but popular and varied new menu, a new paint job and an ever widening selection of new and interesting (and sometimes local) beers.All in all this pub is well worth a try - it's been my local since I moved to the area 8 years ago and I'm sure you will enjoy it on your visit too.

Have been frequenting the Wheatsheaf for many years. It recently came under new management and the interior is looking lush, new menu is simple pub grub at reasonable prices, tasty filling stuff. Always enjoyed their range of beers, friendly staff and fun activities. A real village pub.

Great little pub, staff very helpful. Food resonably priced. Fab atmosphere, will definitely visit again. We really enjoyed the live band.

A really lovely village pub, well worth a go.The staff were very chatty which made us feel very welcomed. Will definetly go back, apparently their quiz night on a Tuesday is supposed to be really good, so will give it a whirl.

We had a great lunch and found the staff to be really friendly. I would recommend it for the lunches.

not good at all the food was very average service ok very much a locals pub with characters the menu is very limited our friends who live locally say its gone down hill since there last visit which was a while ago and the pub is not very clean

After our experience here I am left amazed at the other reviews. They're all giving 5 stars - our food wasn't worth 5, service wasn't worth 5, the whole experience was awful.The first sign that all was not well was when my husband rang to book a table. The person kept asking him to repeat everything - several times. My husband hasn't got a strong accent and no one usually has a problem understanding what he says, so what was going on here I don't know. They didn't say what the problem was but my husband got the impression it was the bar man and he was very busy.They didn't take our phone number - which is unusual and they should have done to avoid the first big problem of the night. Their card payment machine wasn't working. This was a celebration meal out for our family, so we had walked there so my husband could drink - he had 3 pints - instead of driving here as we also know it is a nightmare to park in this narrow road which is usually filled to the brim with cars, which it was this night.We'd also rung to ask if we could take our dog with us and were told yes - but there wasn't much room for him to lie down by our table. The seating area is quite small where we were put.There were a lot of dogs in this pub on this evening.So my husband had a long walk to the nearest ATM machine to get cash out at the BP garage on the main road down the back road which was very dark and which ran out of pavement at one point, so was dangerous for my him.He got back and we were looking at the menu and two of us had a real problem finding anything we liked to order for a main course.The young girl who was the only waitress - and very over worked, told me there were two specials which weren't on the menu.The other table had a couple sitting there who weren't told about the specials and they too were having a problem choosing, so I told them about the specials. This problem needs addressing - more staff are needed and the menu needs more information on it, put the specials on there - with the price as the waitress doesn't say what they cost.One special was a starter - prawns with a chilli sauce - so my son ordered that. He was very disappointed as it was just a few prawns with a small pot of chilli sauce - nothing else at all and he was left very hungry and fed up! We all felt the charge for it at £6.50 was too high.I had the trout infused with beetroot with a salad which was kolrabi and apple, it said with a whiskey and walnut dressing - well the dressing wasn't a dressing at all and it didn't taste of whiskey (thankfully as I hate it!!). It was really weird, it was big lumps of hard stuff like sugar with walnuts in it - very stange and it just didn't go with what else was served up. The trout was too salty (I couldn't taste any beetroot) and the apple was far too soft and tasted horrible. The kolrabi was enjoyable.My other son had butternut squash soup which came with a big bread roll. He liked the roll but found the soup too bland which we all tasted and agreed with him, it was like it had too much water in it. What a shame.My husband had a scotch egg which he really enjoyed - the only one of us that enjoyed their starter!Main course - well I had another starter due to nothing appealing to me on the menu - nachos with melted cheese on top and 3 dips. The nachos were very fatty and salty, the melted cheese wasn't cheddar and whatever was used didn't suit, it went into hard lumps and didn't taste nice (our dog liked it!) and the dips weren't brilliant either, two were quite watery.Hubby had the other special on offer which was calves liver and bacon - it came sitting on a large mound of white stuff - it looked weird! Ages later he got a pot of gravy and another dish of vegetables and altogether it was tasty for him, costing £11 - so he thought quite pricey but he loved it.My son who also struggled to find anything on the menu went for a vegetarian option - stuffed aubergine. When it arrived there a lot of salad leaves, a big slice of bread and an oval pot which contained mostly aubergine - there was loads of it and not a lot else - he wasn't impressed with what he got - again.My other son had chicken curry which came with a small amount of rice, a naan bread and some homemade mango chutney. He was pleased the chutney wasn't spicy as some are nowadays but twice had to spit out things from it, a whole black pepper and I think a cardoman pod - they should not have been in there - my son was disgusted at finding those and overall he wasn't happy with the curry.Two were still hungry and wanted dessert so we asked the waitress for the menu for those. We waited ages for her to come back and were just about to give up when she returned. Sticky toffee pudding - son had, didn't enjoy. White chocolate ice-cream which I heard the waitress say all ice-creams were home made - I had, yeuck - large lumps of ice and not much taste, I make good ice-cream - this was not. Rice pudding with strawberry and elderflower had by hubby who enjoyed again - 3 dishes in a row - he was lucky!When we ordered drinks the waitress didn't bring them, an older man did - he didn't ask who they were for, just put them down - like a water he gave to me when I still had half a glass of water and my son wanted it who was the only one without a drink. Ridiculous service.We asked for the bill. We got a bill which listed the drinks we had but no prices, total of £72.50. No one came for the money so we went to the bar to pay as there were lots of people standing around and we didn't want our money being stolen and us being accused of not paying.There was a man playing sort of hill billy music - that was a laugh, really awful!!! We were glad to leave that.We got outside and were half way over the road when the waitress called us - I went back and she said she hadn't put the prices of the drinks on our bill - I said that's ok, we don't need to know the prices - I just wanted to leave. She then said she had to give us the extra charges, I asked if she meant there was more to pay and got told there was! No apology - what a weird way of doing it. Hubby went back in and was told the actual total was £91.50, nearly an extra £20. We were not impressed.We will not be going back - ever.

Amazing food! Lovely staff, i cant recommend this place enough, the main courses were wonderful the deserts were to die for the ice creams and sorbet selection is vast and all taste great. all the food was presented beautifully. would recommend to anyone.

This isn't the place you are likely to find by accident but it is well worth the search. What I like about the place is how genuine everything is, it doesn't have to pretend to be old because it is old. The staff don't pretend to be friendly and welcoming they just are very friendly and welcoming.. The beer can't get any better, it's Harvey's and last but by no means least.. The food is out of this world, I can't wait to go back and try the other dishes. I wish I lived in Willingdon and could use this pub as my local

After hearing good things about The Wheatsheaf Inn, I phoned and booked a table for my partners birthday for the two of us and our 16 month old daughter and we certainly wernt dissapointed.This is a beautifully old fashioned English pub located in the village of Willingdon.The staff were welcoming and friendly upon arrival. We were shown to our reserved table which had been prepared with a high chair ready for our daughter.The menu offered a great variaty of food without it being overwhelmingly big. (Never been a fan of oversized menus) Reasonable prices too.The food was beautifully cooked, Tasted lovely and the presentation was second to none. Each dish unique. Very impressive from the young chefs. Overall - Good atmosphere, beautiful location, lovely pub, Friendly staff, superb food and a great afternoon had. Highly recommended. I'll certainly be back.

Lovely old fashioned pub, very friendly staff and good food and music. Visited several times over Bank Holiday as they had a beer festival going on.

Warm and welcoming village pub found in Willingdon.A very wide range of meals to choose from the menu. Lots of great meals at a very reasonable price too. Service was great from the waitress. Presentation was lovely and neat.I would highly recommend this pub to anyone. We were so impressed with the chef, we asked to speak to him, to thank him. What was even nicer was that he came out promptly & he was so lovely and easy to get along with.Bar staff were brilliant. There was a new manager in charge who was lovely too. He sorted out our bill at the end. I will 100% be returning.

Came to here for lunch with some friends and the food was excellent. Good choices on the menu. Beautifullly presented fish & chips. The cod was fresh & tasted gorgeous. The homemade chips were fantastic. Would recommend this pub & the brilliant young chef.

This is a lovely, local pub based in the heart of Willingdon Village.Nice beers and ales, with some really great food produced by a fairly new chef, Seb. I particularly love his fish and chips that are beautifully presented with mushy peas and homemade tartare sauce. The food is great quality and nicely priced. Roasts are very good too.Bar staff are great, in particular Jacob stands out as he is very welcoming and knowledgable - and seems to know what drink you want, before you do!
