Wow! I was shocked at how much this place had deteriorated since I was last there!For a Friday night, where it would once have been heaving with people, it was very empty.I had a steak pie, and when I cut into it, the gravy gushed out! There was hardly any steak in the pie! The chips were DIVINE!!!I waited at the bar, possibly 5 or 6 minutes, despite being the ONLY person waiting to be served, while 3 waitresses were having a chat to a guy with a clipboard, that looked like he could be their manager? Another guy behind the bar was counting money, and I was COMPLETELY ignored! When I asked if I could get a drink, the waitress replied, very begrudgingly, that she was 'busy with a customer' !? She did serve me then, but was clearly very irritated by the fact that I'd asked for a drink.The stairs down to the toilet area are DISGUSTINGLY grubby - they are literally black and gritty.Not a great experience service and food wise, but being with a good friend made up for it.I doubt we will go back!!Oh, and the car park had not been gritted - it was very icy and dangerous to walk on!Avoid folks!

Beautiful room in a stunning location. Large clean room, gorgeous decking area to sit out in the sunshine. Comfortable bed and lovely bathroom.Plentiful and tasty breakfastOnly downside was that the fridge in the room was noisy through the night, and the sash window didn't stay propped open.

I didn't stay over but I go about once a week and it's just great there! I've tried a few beers and they have a great selection. Tasty snacks like nuts and crisps but also bar snacks to order! I now often get a coffee and it's really tasty, again lots of choice and different milks to choose from too. Reasonable prices. If they're not too busy they bring my coffee to the table too and usually with a small piece of cake to nibble on the side. Would definitely recommend this hotel/pub/restaurant to anyone for any reason.

We were welcomed by a smiling receptionist and it just kept getting better. She booked us in for dinner and made sure we had everything we needed.Great breakfasts and evening meals. Very helpful staff. Clean rooms.

Just got back from here again we had a fantastic time. One of our friends retired who has been here before so it seemed only right that him and his wife came here to celebrate. His wife is Celiac and feels very safe here every single time. Special thanks to Jack for his humour and banter which made the evenings go too fast.

Absolutely fantastic place, went for a meal. Staff were so happy to help, nothing was a problem. Food was lovely, great selection of beers, wines and spirits.Will definitely be back, it felt very upmarket with the service but very warm with the ambience and decor.

Great pub whether you are just going for a drink, a meal or staying. The food and service is v good. The rooms are lovely. Staff friendly and cheerful.Happy to hear that the planned refurb includes a lift as my knees are becoming v creaky. But please don't change the character of the pub. It's lovely as it is.

I eat at the Wheatley regularly. The staff are friendly, the menu is nice and the food is always good, sometimes exceptional. We ate as a group of 11 last night and were made to feel welcomed and had a great evening. Thank you to Emma and her team.

We booked The Wheatley for our wedding celebration in may and it was fantastic!They were really accommodating with planning our special day which was a little outside of their usual sit down wedding affair.They gave us free rein to decorate the gorgeous garden room and outside as we wished and they also created a fantastic pizza and sides buffet for us which went down a storm after a warm afternoon of drinking and partying.The rooms are beautifully decorated and the bridal suit has a fantastic decking area giving that extra room for all the bridesmaid and family to come get ready too!Carol (the manager) was helpful throughout and was very calm and level headed! She even managed to keep our surprise singing waiters a secret too! We really appreciated that!The bar was always fully stocked annd service was fast , no one had any issues with getting what they wanted!We had had worries that if the weather was bad we wouldn’t be able to have our ceremony outside like we wanted but Carol assured us that if it were bad, we could put the sides of the large canopy down and everyone would be sheltered. Fortunately this didn’t have to happen but it’s great to know there is an option.We also have been offered a free stay over one year on from our wedding day as part of our package and we are really looking forward to it!Thanks again for all your help in creating a fantastic day we will remember forever.If you are looking for a relaxed wedding or party I would 100% recommend The Wheatley Arms x
