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.

As mrse1 says, the new one has opened. And what a great job they've done with it. Really nicely kitted out, the same faces behind the bar. Good beers, some very nice real ales. This place deserves to do well, and is well worth popping round the corner from the market. I think it beats the Porter, but the great thing about all the pubs round here is that they're all in it together. 10/10 though to Danny, Phoebe and the rest.

Re-opening tonight at the old Hop Cellars round the corner on Southwark St.

alan_latchley, just to confirm your posting.......

Sign outside the pub last night (April 2). Danny and co reopening in the old Hop Cellar location. That kills off the rumour of Utobeer taking over that venue. Still, its a great relief for all the fans of the Wheatsheaf.
