There’s something special about a Sunday spent in the village pub 🍽️

A proper roast, a drink in hand, good company around the table and nowhere else to be.

We’re incredibly lucky to now call home every Sunday. Whether you’re joining us for a full roast, a smaller portion, dessert or simply a pint in the garden, it’s become one of our favourite ways to spend the day.

The Wheatsheaf has everything a village pub should. Character, history, a beautiful garden, friendly faces, dogs snoozing under tables and the sound of families catching up over lunch.

Nourishing bellies and illuminating plates, one roast at a time ✨
