We wanted to have a pub meal in a old pub style setting for my birthday and from the website this looked like just what we were looking for. I would suggest booking in advance as when we were there they were turning people away all night. We arrived and it looked like everything we had been looking for, until... More

My Mother and I stayed at the Wheatsheaf last weekend - it was my friend's 60th Birthday and we came to help her celebrate. It was our first visit to Leicestershire and the Wheatsheaf - it certainly won't be our last - we loved it!! We had a twin room in the cottage beside the pub. Our room was wonderful... More

Our first time dining here. The setting is lovely, good staff, friendly and keen to please. The food however was not in my opinion even up to 'pub grub' standard. Thin gammon, eggs burnt, nice fishy fishcakes but bland, braised beef was served cool. Portion sizes not generous, and if this were haute cuisine, fair enough but it wasn't that... More

Visit here so many times. A real credit to the country-gastro-pub-B&B's around and to the local area. Well kept ales make it the perfect afternoon walk destination. I've always enjoyed the food, and a great effort by what I understand is a small kitchen- I know how they feel! Keep up the good work, all!

The Wheatsheaf is a pleasant inn in an up-market village in the heart of the Charnwood Forest. They serve well kept real ales, apart from the usual run of drinks. It is a family-run pub, and there is much World War II RAF memorabilia on display, as a relative of the Dimblebee family who run it had a distinguished war... More

We dined here with friends, on their recommendation, and were glad we booked as it was very busy. The décor of the pub is great and has been maintained to a very high standard; the atmosphere lovely and relaxing; the staff were welcoming, friendly, well trained, efficient and most helpful. We noted that, reassuringly, it had a five star (top)... More

Booked a large party for my birthday. The food was lovely, staff really friendly and efficient inspite of having to rush around on a busy night. Great atmosphere in their Mess room especially for larger parties. Will definitely go again. Thank you for a great birthday night.

I always enjoy going to the Wheatsheaf for my Sunday Lunch, except today. We booked a table for two in the restaurant only to be greeted with a large dog sprawled out where we should be sitting - dogs in a restaurant ? We then had to sit with the owners family while they had their lunch and counted out... More
