Went there for Sunday lunch recently. A lovely pub, shame the management don't make more of it.
Nice ales but very expensive, ditto soft drinks.
The major disappointment was the poor quality of the roasts chosen. Reminded me of industrial catering provided in large company canteens.
Won't be going back.

We have been going to this pub about once every 3 months or so after walking our dog at Dinton Pastures. Beer and soft drinks are expensive, but it is a lovely pub. Late last month (Sept 2013) we went there on a Sunday for a late lunch. Ordered a pint of real cider and a half of coke. £6.80 !!
Went on to order 2 toasted paninis. The roast beef panini had about 70% coverage of meat filling in it. The rest was just toasted bread. Both breads were of poor quality and was overly toasted as to be slightly burnt. The salad accompanyment was just a bunch of green leaves thrown on the plate.
A pint of Swordfish was about the only good thing about this visit. We will not be eating at this pub again.

Proper Pub !

Really good food
Well kept beers (and quite a few of them too (Bitters and Lagers)

big car park

Hard to to fault the Wheelies if you want good honest English pub grub and an excellent choice of ales. Kevin and Helen are proper old fashioned publicans who have been ensuring a warm atmosphere for the past 10 years.This place has been really improved by the smoking ban because it has a traditional low ceiling and real fires.
A couple of minor quibbles - it would be good to see those fires lit a bit more often in the winter. Also perhaps we could relax the dining room rules in the evening to allow us to take our 17 year old daughter in the evenings.

Still excellent. Nice lunch there today, the place was busy but not crowded. Good ales - 7 of 8 were on, the 6X and the Old timer were sampled and in fine form. Added bonus, 10% of draught Wadworth's beers for CAMRA members!
|
Still as good as ever.
re;previous comment. - I can't see any problem with the smokers shelter, & they do a J2O eqivalent so you could have had your mango fix!!

Good choice of 8 Real Ales - very friendly welcome on a Sunday evening - children made very welcome. Not the cheapest but beer was good. Spoilt slightly by the (illegal) smoking shelter right by the side (main) entrance door.
|
Attended a function here in the dining room. Food was excellent.
Can't comment on the beer as I restricted myself to a soft drink,
but weirdly they don't sell J2O so I couldn't get my mango hit.
Looked like a good pub, from what I saw of it.

Kevin and Helen have just completed 10 years at the Wheelwrights, with an award from the local CAMRA people. Still a lovely pub, low beams, good atmosphere, friendly locals and a good range opf beers - Wadworths plus up to 3 guests.

Really like this pub, the beer is excellent and usually 1 or 2 unusual ciders on tap as well... recently expanded the food serving hours and has a pleasent beer garden making it our first choice for a summers evening drink. Can get busy but not often too over bearing.

Great pub. Superb food.Used regularly for all our family get-togethers. (plus frequently in-between!) Well done Kev & Helen.

Quite a nice pub but often frequented by ponces from a local IT company.

Quite cramped sometimes, especially Friday lunchtimes when the local office workers come for food. The food is nice, but quite expensive, same as the beverages.
|
This is the bestest pub in the world. love it.
