The Wheatsheaf - Rutland

Fed with gastropubs, where they usually camp and not much fantasies eat for their money we were looking for and found this good old-fashioned, right pub that keeps his beer good. the wheatsheaf had friendly personal, traditional pub dishes at a reasonable price and a great selection of beer. the tables and chairs did not agree, but were comfortable, the decoration was not fancy and the carpet a bit worn, but who cares? the golden hop beer was perfect, the steak and the Ale Pie came with many chips and veg and my Makkaroni dishes were delicious. total bill including 2 half pints, £30.20 perfect! and to add the atmosphere, we enjoyed the bell ring practice in the church opposite on Tuesday night when we visited. when they approach the street in oakham, the church is on the right side and they will not see the pub unless they turn their head back. in the public parking lot left past the church, free in the evening, and they will see the pub to the right. Don't miss it!

Really happy that we found this pub, great pub food to go right, good beer as well. love it and we have been back several times

For the first time booking for Sunday dinner, as the venue is accessible to foot. he asked for a table that allowed the man to sit comfortably where he was in no danger of getting his legs accidentally beaten. service was friendly and efficient, in the did. "best pint" he had revealed in a long time. the frying dinner was hot, much on the teller with obviously domestic frying and fresh vegetables. the bark was tender and tasty and so I was told the lamb. beautiful house made desserts were in offer and all this at a very reasonable price. we will go back!

We were around the corner in oakham and had luck finding a table here for our family celebration on a Saturday night. Despite the clever photos, the pub is located directly in the centre of oakham, opposite the church and with a public car...Park over the street. a really traditional pub where they resist the temptation to knock walls to create large spaces, beams at the deck and soft lighting all add to the atmosphere. a small bar and then a row of dining rooms, we sat in a room back with about ten covers, quiet and intimate. the menu is quite simple and much of it is homemade, aim to eat relatiw early to avoid disappointment, as the homemade dishes can run out. the employees were friendly and informative, efficient and attentive, without being intrusive. we ordered a mix of traditional dishes of fish and chips, gammon steak, chips and exalted and a few of the homemade dishes brie, broccoli and cauliflower bake and butternut squash macaroni cheese. teller were hot and food well presented, portion generous. eating was good, but not exceptional, but the atmosphere and the unobstructed kitchen did a lot to increase the experience. the desserts were delicious brownie and apple crumble and custard. if they are looking for a simple, honest menu, good atmosphere and not an expensive place, then this easily fits the bill.

The Wheatsheaf was a proper' pub. A traditional interior (as well as exterior), serving a choice of real ales and the food was good, and a reasonable price.
