| Glad I went to this pub yesterday as I had the best Sunday roast I've had in a very long time, or even ever. The lamb was cooked to perfection, roasted spuds crunchy and fluffy, absolutely delicious! Can't wait until next Sunday .. mmmm ... Pub in general is nice enough, the bar staff is friendly, kitchen staff a cut above the rest. lolla28 - 9 Nov 2009 18:13 |
| This is a really cool pub, really friendly staff and really nice drink (I agree about the smoking area-not so much an area as an alley way!!) but it's the overall atmosphere I liked here. There was one thing that ruined it...I went for the quiz and some stuck up idiots were cheating on their swanky phones! I'd recommend to the pub to make the quizzes anit-phone! it's always been a case of people texting under the tables but having the internet at your fingertips ensures a win and it's not fair! Anyway, other than that this is a top place to be. fionafi - 26 Apr 2009 14:42 |
| This is a great pub and has been my local for about 3 years now. The staff are friendly and also very competent, most of them having been there for quite a while now. Beer is standard Fullers but it's all well kept and they often have a guest ale on which keeps things interesting enough. Food is generally of a good standard, particularly their Steak and Ale pie which is excellent and their roast dinners. Menu is a bit gastropub but still good value. This pub is good for sport, particularly football though it can be bit difficult to find somewhere to perch for big England or Top of the table Premier League matches. Although it's not got a particular team bias a lot of Liverpool fans drink here which suits me just fine! Not sure why people have complained about the decor, at least it's not bland dark wood like most Fuller's pubs these days. Overall the only way I could improve this pub would be if it opened a bit later! scousemouse - 24 Apr 2009 20:42 |
| I am proud to call The Wheatsheaf my local and have been drinking there for about two years now. As with any Fullers pub, there is a decent selection of ales and a few alternative lagers, while the wine list seems to have been carefully crafted. The pub is never too busy, other than during big football matches when the location of the big screen can make getting served a bit difficult. It's out-of-the-way location contributes to the relaxed atmosphere and the nearby Haven Arms seems to mop up anyone who accidentally stumbles upon this quiet road before they get to the 'sheaf. I've always thought the food was top notch at this pub, if the selection is a little small. The burgers used to take a long time to cook because the chef was making them from scratch, but recently I believe he has been replaced and the burgers are bought in instead. They still taste great and I've never heard any complaints from anyone about the food, and the chef used to even come out and ask customers about their preferences for food. It's always been great value grub as well. I once saw an entire rack of ribs going for just £6. Exquisite. The decor in the pub is nice, and it certainly doesn't detract from your drinking experience. I'm not sure what everyone has against it, but it's not overbearing or garish. Has a bit of a reputation as an old man's pub amongst people I've spoken too, but the bar staff are all quite young and competent and there is a good mix of young professionals and archetypal 'regulars' at the bar. I've never seen someone in there I didn't like the look of either. The pub quiz on a monday night is very well run and worth a try if you fancy your luck. It's pretty tough though! Although outside seating is listed on this site, don't count on it as it's only a tiny alleyway with a few lightweight aluminium chairs to accommodate smokers. There is also free wireless internet in the pub and a bunch of boardgames and newspapers lying around in one corner. I'd recommend this pub to anyone who enjoys a sensible or quiet drink. Can't really see it being a place to include on a pubcrawl, but that's probably what makes it such a nice place! Malice - 13 Apr 2009 15:45 |
| Decent pub for all (or most) occasions. I've popped down here to meet mates after work, watch live sport, check my e-mails or do the pub quiz, which is always good fun - even if we rarely cover ourselves in glory. The beer is well kept (as you'd expect from Fullers - Pride is tough to get wrong) and I've never had a problem with the food - I tend to stick to the pub basics (burgers etc) and found them to be of high quality. I can't say I've tried the chiken & liver pate but don't think I'd ever order one in a pub! ChrisBass - 7 Apr 2009 17:14 |
