Wheelwright Arms, Matfield

My husband and I visited the Wheelwrights last Sunday for Mothers Day with my daughter and grand-daughter. Our table was booked for 2.15 pm and the place was heaving, absolutely packed. We had a fantastic meal, my daughter and I had the open lasagne which was squash and goats cheese with a pesto sauce - I could eat that every day of the week it was heavenly, my daughter thought the same. My husband opted for the roast rib of beef and said it was really tasty, lovely bit of beef. We had chocolate fondants and bread and butter pudding for desserts which were also well above par. All in all (husband also said it was the best pint he had drunk for a very long time) we had a really enjoyable mothers day meal and we felt good value for money with quality ingredients, not frozen ready meals bought in like some pubs dish up.

Wheelwright Arms, Matfield

Have just this week been for an utterly delicious meal, I had a fantastically different risotto (beetroot with chocolate reduction) and my partner had a beautifully cooked ribeye steak that was, he said, perfect, with the best home made chips he had ever tasted!!
I thought I would add a review as the pub has only just been taken over again (May 2011) and the lovely friendly young couple now running it seem to be a breathe of fresh air. They have started to have the furniture reupholstered, fresh flowers, painted the outside and generally seem to be getting the old place back on its feet. It is a cosy pub with hops hanging from the beams and great atmosphere. I must say it was a pleasure to visit and we will definitely go back to eat next time we are in the area. 100% improvement from last time we visited in February.
