| I have been coming here for nearly 30 years. It has always been very good, with plenty of charm and character and still is. It is especially good on a summers evening or daytime. Actually, the Wheatsheaf has in my 30 years always been very food oriented - with a restaurant upstairs. Considering the neighbourhood and clientele out this way, food and drink is the perfect mix to suit the requirements of many of the local populace, it is an expensive village and quite rightly the pub aims to serve the people in the community with what they want. However the bar is nice to drink at too, and as the weekend evenings progress there can be a great atmosphere. As for it's unusual opening hours, well yes, rather than run up costs opening when there are no customers, I think the owners would rather open when they can make money and thereby maximise the investment back into the business, which is clearly something that they take seriously. It is not a traditional village **drinking** pub, but they don't seem to mind when I treat it like one. It is a great place for an evening by the fire or the bar, with great beer. If you like £3 a pint, or bogof don't go. It seems to me that blue scrump would prefer a pub to risk going out of business than to adapt to the changing landscape and hence his score of zero.

| Lovely pub set in Charnwood forest, close to Bradgate Park, Beacon Hill, Bluebell woods and some seriously nice countryside. Whilst it has seen some improvements and extensions over the years, it still has a very traditional feel, and appeals to most types. 5 real ales when I visited; Vixen from the up and coming Charnwood brewery in Loughborough, TT Landlord, Adnams Broadside, George Gale & Co Ltd (Fuller's) Seafarers Ale and a really deep, rich beer called Embers winter warmer from the Big Lamp Brewery in Newcastle. It caters to both drinkers and diners, and also has an upstairs Restaurant. Food excellant, but on the pricier side (The Woodhouse smokies being a much loved favourite that has been on the menu for years!) - Recommended. Barrow_Beer_Hunter - 18 Jan 2016 16:18 |
| I'm afraid I'll have to score this pub a 0. If you arrive after 5pm on a Sunday, you'll find the pub is closed making a 'beerintheevening' very difficult. This would indicate that this has not turned into a restaurant that serves drinks, as opposed to a pub that serves food. Hopefully I'm wrong and I'll get to visit again one day. But beware of the crazy opening times. blue_scrumpy - 24 May 2010 17:53 |
