I got one of the construction workers to let me in about two months ago and found that all was still in tacked on the ground floor, so hopefully a grand reopening will happen one day. I've never been happy about the sheer audacity of the whole new wheatsheaf/bierkeller thing, yes staff are very important (and the staff at the wheatsheaf were great to the very end), but you can never replace the bricks, mortar and decor of a classic British city centre pub like this.

This pub as many will know has been shut now for well over a year, yet appears at #60 in the top 100 rated at 7.2. Meanwhile the new Wheatsheaf just around the corner in southwark street rated at 7.4 by 33 is nowhere to be seen. Crazy.

Has moved round the corner whilst they build the new railway bridge. Still excellent staff and beer.

I wasn't totally knocked out by this place. Two railway carriage rooms separated by the bar and a thin wall. It picked up a huge reputation when it was a freehouse - selling a good range of microbrewery stuff in excellent condition. Youngs are keeping up with that tradition by offering a changing guest, but - at least in the daytime - it lacked atmosphere for me. And the famous candles seemed pointless when light was flooding in from the new windows at the back! But, it was just above average, and it added to the general atmosphere of the area.

Popped in to the new Wheatsheaf for the first time last night. It's very different to the old one - so much bigger. The beer selection is great, food looks and smells good. There's a good lively crowd of people.

My only criticism is that it's so noisy with the sounds of music and conversation reverberating around the cellar. Perhaps it's just my ears.
