The Wheel Inn - Melton

We are regular customers of the wheel and would evaluate both the eating and the atmosphere as excellent. the manager takes us from home personally in his people carrier, so we can all enjoy a drink.

Convened for Sunday dinner in this lively rural location. the series came from a menu and not from the traditional Sunday roast, although this was also available. we had all sunday roasts, four cattle, a pig and a chicken. the food was well cooked and the portions were abundant. service was fast and pleasant. beer from recognizable breweries were well kept and delicious. the parking lot is around the back of the pub, although most seemed to park on the road

Beautiful pub, great atmosphere and menu. I had the mango chili hühnerburger, who was tasty and the chips were sensational! special shouts at james, who was a wonderful and charming host!

Eating was good pub food. bier excellent- beautiful real ales. personal friendly. I had the burger who was excellent. I like to try a burger at different places and that was the burgertest!

We were recommended this pub by others and have been meaning to go for a while. On arrival the I feel the entrance needed a tidy up as first impressions weren’t that good. Inside however it was quaint and appealing. The arms of the chairs...all kept coming off when you tried to pull your chairs up to the table so definitely needs addressing. When I went to the toilet i felt it was a Shame too as it felt scruffy and the fire door inside the toilet was very dirty and needed a good paint as it made it feel generally untidy and unkempt. It’s a shame as it’s quite an attractive pub inside with the fairy lights on the ceiling. Food was ok but nothing special. The food comes out on slate plates, not on proper plates and chips etc in little baskets. I found mine very difficult to eat trying to lean over things to get to food. I would usually tip it out onto the plate but couldn’t as there was nothing to stop it going on the floor. Looked nice to serve but not practical especially for the kids. When we got there we were told they would do the kids chicken or fish Goujons or make kids portions from things on the menu. My rating is about the cost in general and imparticular the childrens food. I was not told before any costs as there was no official childrens menu. When the bill came I got charged £9.50 for each childrens main course for a 5 8 year old !! EXTORTIONATE, had I been told this before ordering I would not have stayed and gone elsewhere. So for one adult main course and two children’s meals and two children’s ice-creams a glass of Prosecco and some Coca colas it came to £60 !!!! I get two three course meals in most places we go with childrens meal deals for just over half the cost of one of their children’s meals. For a country pub, out the way I would think they need to get people back, unless business is that good they don’t need more customers. I would definately not be going back it’s far too expensive for standard pub food and there are some really nice pubs round here a lot more reasonable prices. If you are a family you need a mortgage to take your kids to eat there !!! Very very disappointing
