licensees to stay local....
Described in the 2009 Good Beer Guide as "a fantastic unspoilt pub" "a little gem" " welcoming" "worth seeking out". The Wheatsheaf made it into the guide for the first ever time last year and is retained for 2009.
The Wheatsheaf is a tiny pub, a legacy of a bygone age, where the beer drinker was king, and after work drinking holes were always full.
The pub will be closing on Saturday 27th September. The licensees of The Wheatsheaf are moving to their nearest other pub, the Crane, Armoury Way. This has been a pub fraught with problems for years. Flooding was the latest but Youngs have now invested in yet another refurbishment, this time to include flood protection and the pub will be opening on 28th or 29th with hosts who now have a reputation for one of the best pints in town.
