Nice enough place. Just had 2 starters. but expensive for what you get. £6.95 for a coffee cup of vegetable soup with half a slice of shop bought bread. £4.50 for a pint of Diet Coke. Service was ok and the dining area was clean. Just wouldn’t rush back though.

Only one word for this restaurant FANTASTIC. The welcome was friendly and the food was amazing. It's a pity we're from Northern Ireland or we would have been going back again soon ??

What a hidden gem! We decided to go here for a birthday meal but was hesitant with the mixed reviews......glad we went! Staff are welcoming and it was a nice and cosy liitle restaurant with a pub next door. Food didnt take long to arrive and was amazing. Tasted brilliant, even the children manage to eat it all. My partner had steak pie (portion was big, steak was to die for i was told) 1st child had a burger & fries and 2nd had lasagne (they loved it), i had haggis neeps @ tatties with the most tasteful whisky cream sauce iv ever tasted. I loved it that much i even treated myself to a dessert (i never have desserts) but the millionaire shortbread cheesecake was amazing. If never been here, go give it a try.....the previous reviewers must have just went on a bad day (which we all have) will definitely be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have eaten here before on one occasion. Tried to ring for three days before hand to book - phone never answered. No email or other way to be in touch. Group of friends meeting up so arrived at 6pm for a table of six. Two cars in the car park Met by disgruntled rude unhelpful unwelcoming chap. No tables available Given this close to Christmas it’s great they’re busy but to be turned away in such a rude manner, when we could see all the empty tables, was a total let down.Turned on his heel with a shrug - no apology - nothing - and left us standing there. Called another local restaurant - superb service, fab food, great atmosphere and much busier than this place. Sadly he needs a customer service update and there is no way any of will darken the door or consider going. Being busy is one thing - rudeness and abruptness is another!

Stepped into The Wheatsheaf Inn and was immediately enveloped by its warm and welcoming ambiance. This establishment marries traditional charm with modern amenities seamlessly. The food, true to its roots, was delectable and heartwarming, reminiscent of classic British hospitality. The staff, attentive and cordial, added to the overall positive experience. A perfect spot for those seeking an authentic inn experience with a touch of contemporary flair. ?? A must-visit for locals and travellers alike.

We met with friends and had a lovely lunch here. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Good size portions and piping hot. Service was great. We will definitely be going back.Parking: They have their own car park to the side of the building and street parking at the door.

Excellent service. Lovely meal. Didn't know what a tablet was and the waitress bought out a sample for us to try. It was a sweet made from sugar and condensed milk

1st time for my wife and I and I can promise we will be regular. The pub was lovely, staff very nice and the food was absolutely superb. Very well priced and the portions were more than ample.

We hadn’t been to the Wheatsheaf for years but were looking for somewhere for a large family gathering for an anniversary. We were allocated the private room at the back of the restaurant. The staff were friendly, the room was a little chilly but once we were all in there it was soon toasty. The service was decent enough, although my meal took that long some of our party had almost finished theirs. A few of the meals were wrong but in all fairness the food was good. My MIL has booked for us to go back again in a few weeks for a big birthday, except this time she’s been told they can’t guarantee the private room we had before (despite there being no other big bookings at the time of her making the reservation) which I find strange as it was me who booked the previous get together and I was guaranteed the room. I’ll leave a follow up review after our next visit ….

Visited for lunch with family. Waited a while before any staff arrived. Young girl didn't seem to know what she was supposed to do. Good selection on menu but portions were very small for price and we ordered from main menu. Cajun chicken only had a very small piece of chicken on it with a little rice and a tiny tub of salad. Fries were too hard to eat as overcooked. Haggis, heaps and patties although tasted ok were poorly presented, was like someone had built sandcastles with a small pot of haggis, heaps and tatties and just plonked them on the plate. Servers had no concept of space at all when serving and I constantly had plates and behinds in my face when serving our table and the one next to us. Pavlova was rock hard so could only eat a tiny bit of it. We also waited ages for the bill once finished We came away still feeling hungry. Shame as could have been so much better, won't be back anytime soon as very expensive for what we got.
