Not too sure what the previous poster was referring to as this pub is currently undergoing a fresh lease of life with well kept Real Ales, friendly bar staff, football on the big screen, good banter over the bar and even fresh crusty rolls on a good night.
Another good crack last night with top notch ESB, friendly chat with the locals and bubbly blond behind the bar . Fortunately, though Leonard doesn't work every night so hopefully we'll have the lovely Kate or Julie back behinfd the jump tonight. LOL

Friendly pub, just off the High Street, with happy bar staff, good beer, and a lively mix of customers. A little restricted in the Real Ale sense, but as its unashamedly 'Irish' the fact is that the Guinness is top notch. Tom, the landlord is normally 'round and about' and his hand on the tiller is quite evident in the effective management of one of Slough's few successful(busy) pubs in the current economic climate.

This pub is much improved from the 'old days' since the current manager took over, and the choice of beers has increased too. Apparently, they're going to get a regular change of Guest Ales on the bar, and are even canvassing the customers to choose their favourites. The word on the street is that Old Speckled Hen is a clear favourite at the local bookies, and to be honest I can't say I'm surprised. Good choice lads. Better get the order in, Becky.

Further to my earlier post, I was confronted on my last visit to the pub with the sight of the previously dreadlocked white barman, with an absolutely clean-shaven pate. Totally scalped! Strangely, no sign of the Mohican...

Alenut's right (whoever he/she is ?) this is a good pub. Cask Marque signs now back on the pumps, and the food's excellent. The ESB and London Pride are top notch, and there's plenty of lagers for the 'lads'.
Live music every Friday night, a good quiz on a Thursday, and the crib league starts again soon on Monday nights (we still need 2 new players, though.)
Best barmaids in Slough, plus the only white barman with dreadlocks, and the only singing Mohican. Well worth a visit !!!!!

Friendly little pub, with eclectic regulars.
Always worth a visit on the way home.
SKY T.V. for the football, and a nice drop of beer.
And its actually a little bit bigger inside, than it looks from the road. (well, just a little bit.)
Nice pub.

new folk behind the bar, but good beer, chirpy barmaids, and best of all, homemade cheese rolls!

Congratulations to the ex landlord for defending his former pub so vigorously. I think he's put the previous contributor soundly in his place.
but just to put the matter straight, I'd like to clarify the meaning of his final sentance. I think he means that St G. was the limp-wristed one.Cetrainly not my goodself... Just ask the last three barmaids ???
Good on yer mate. and may the crib team do EVEN better next season!!! (after all, we only have to overtake about twenty eight teams, and we'll be top of the league !!)

As someone who drops into the pub, from time to time, I was quite surprised to see the latest 'nosedive' comments appear on your notice board this week.
I have always found the food, in the Wheatsheaf to be well cooked, and the beers of good quality.
Whilst its true that 'Chiswick' has been taken off, due to poor sales, you'll find this to be the case in most pubs where it was previously served, e.g Vansittaert Arms, and White Horse, so you can't really complain in that respect.
I'm also rather surprised to read the comment about
poor service, as I have never found this to be the case, and have always found both landlord, and landlady to be courteous, and quick to serve, booth the ale, and the food.
But at least we can agree on one thing. Its good to see the bar billiard table come in, and that hideous tent outside, disappear.
Don't know if the previous contributor still visits the pub, but if they do, I'd rather like to share a pint with them, one day, and compare notes. Clearly, we have totally different views about this pub, and I'd quite like to find out why...?????

Debbie and Tim now serve hot food all day, in rssponse to customer demand, and the menu is both attractive and extensive, with the Debbie's Shepherd's pie and Barbecue rib, particularly recommended .
And the high quality of the beer, across the Fullers range has now been officially recognised and rewarded, by the award of the prestigious Cask Marque for all of Tim's beers.
The addition of a bar billiards table, and the success of the Monday night crib team in the local league (Division 3) have all aded to the friendly atmosphere, at the Wheatsheaf.
And its good to see so many of the local residents popping in for lunch again, during the week. now that they feel that the pub, is rightly 'back on the map'!!

The Wheatsheaf, Slough
Does anybody actually read this, by the way, or am I just typing to myself?? lol
Any way another grat quiz last week (though I say so myself.) and the next one is taking shape nicely. Hey we've even got a picture round this time . Why not come along and join the challengers team and try to knock the Keggheads off their lofty perch (They're really not that good.)
