The Wheatsheaf Pub & Grill Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

• "Nice atmosphere. Food was so-so."
• "Nice location for a pub walk. Didn't eat but the Sunday roast looked nice."
• "Stopped here on a journey around Beds as they appeared to sell Birra Moretti wife's favourite lager."
• "Nice cosy decor inside and the food was fantastic."

Cons:

• "Service wasn't entirely friendly nor attentive."
• "Service very strange, too quick when asking how food was as we had barely taken our first bites."
• "This is a busy place and has a nice atmosphere. I was put off by the strong smell of fried oil as we went to our table."
• "Where we were sitting was freezing. We had 2 elderly ladies and 2 children when we did complain they just said sorry."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Everything was cooked just right, no overboiled or over cooked veg that sometimes happens with Sunday roasts."
• "The pies themselves were very tasty and clearly hand made."
• "Very high quality food, nice building, and we strongly recommend it."
• "The food was excellent and a wide range of gluten free for those with these requirements."

Cons:

• "Food was so-so, a bit too greasy for my liking, and my child who is usually a good eater did not like his pasta."
• "The batter on my prawns was greasy and thick. The sea bass was dry and sauce too oily."
• "The burgers were dry and over cooked, short rib burgers should be bubbling with juices but no, chicken was dryish and chewy."
• "Roast potatoes had been re-heated, veggie nut roast was sludge rather than roast."

Service

Pros:

• "Welcomed with a warm smile and friendly waiter who gave us a choice of inside or outside tables."
• "He was very friendly and nothing seemed to much trouble."
• "The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble."
• "Amazing service, wonderful food and atmosphere. Beautifully decorated and furnished."

Cons:

• "Lunch menu was not given until we requested. When asked to repeat what items were unavailable on the menu, the waitress seemed very annoyed."
• "Took 30mins for our drinks to arrive (after food) then we had ordered coffee with the desserts but they never came."
• "Food was not delivered as advertised on the menu. Avocado didn't come in the chicken burger until we asked where it was."
• "Visited The Wheatsheaf today for the first time, having pre ordered food as part of a group! I was there for an hour and a half, in that time staff forgot my meal."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "We all had a great meal, and at a reasonable price. Without hesitation, I would recommend this wonderful pub for a good meal and great service."
• "Pie Tuesday is a great menu offering around 4 or 5 pies on top of the normal menu, very well priced."
• "Lovely place to go for good quality food and atmosphere. Ideal after a great walk or any other occasion... very reasonably priced."
• "Definitely recommend & 5 stars!! Delicious food (and kids said the burgers were amazing 10/10), quick service, friendly staff & really good value."

Cons:

• "Slightly pricey but will return when we can afford too!"
• "Expensive lunch menu, around £13 mark after supplements for a sandwich and chips, when main menu can get proper meals for around same cost."
• "We shared lunch, we had ham and cheese toasties on white when the menu said granary, 1 glass white wine and 1 cider, this came to £28.95, very bad value and the food was awful."
• "Great food but we found it was rather over priced for what you got on your plate."
