Wheatsheaf Inn, Willingdonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
A half timbered pub at the foot of the south downs. Busy last Saturday with live music. I had a fish pie for �9.95 and a pint of Harveys Sussex Bitter for �3.30 which seems reasonable compared with the prices in Swanage. No food after 15:00 on Sunday or all day on Monday. Staff and locals seemed friendly.

Great pint but marked down because if you have a sign saying food till 3pm don't tell me you have stopped serving at 2:20.

Went here with 8 friends recently one Wednesday lunch time.
Pub smells a bit damp as you go in but you soon forget that, 4 good cask ales on today including Harveys, Timothy Taylor "Landlord" AND Betty Stoggs. Our party sampled them all and all were in good condition at reasonable prices (�3.20 or less)
The pub is friendly and was quite busy.
The menu is rather limited but what they do they do well, 4 of us had a very nice and very tasty Liver and Bacon with mash and fresh veg, (not cheap at �9.95 each but VERY good) 3 others had ham eggs and chips which was not on the blackboard (only menu) but was on the web site, they only had 6 eggs so we were limited to 3 portions at �8.95, very good though with thick home cooked ham. The last 2 in our party had burger and chips, again home made with hand cut chips, very nice .. sorry, can't remember the price. Puddings at �4.75 were tasty and looked good although we thought the very shallow plates that looked like dishes were a bit of a swiz!
All in all this is more a drinkers pub I think but none the worse for that. as I said, what they do they do very well.
We will be going back.
For me 7 10 and probably best in this area, certainly for beer!
