Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The Wheatsheaf hosted lunch for 20 people after our wedding ceremony in June 2023 and everything was great from start to finish - they put together a wonderful menu for us in the upstairs room (including the Wheatsheaf smokies). All the food was great and...the team on the day were amazing. It was a perfect space for the number of people and everyone had a brilliant time. Thank you to Vicky and the team for making it all so easy for us and for making the day run so smoothly!More

Celebrated Father's Day with my English friends after arriving from Australia. What a beautiful & historical place. Previously the c1700's 'Slate Splitters Arms' it was a great introduction to my English holiday. I HAD to try the Wheatsheaf Smokie - Haddock, white wine cream sauce,...tomatoes with a crunchy cheese & grainery bread topping, which was just heaven. Plus a Pimms & Dessert was the Elderslie Cheesecake, also divine. Our table totalled 6 & the service & ambience was superb.More

I provided this feedback via their in-house feedback form but they didn’t bother to reply. My girlfriend booked us a table. When we checked the lady behind the bar was puzzled, unable to find our table. Was referred to “manager” who took us to a...table with a card showing the table was reserved for another guest. Why no label for our table? Although there were many nice alcoves with a modicum of privacy our table was an awkward add-on in an awkward position with no privacy whatsoever. We ordered drinks that arrived timely and we ordered our roast lamb dinner. Three more times different staff asked us if we had ordered yet? Another example of the chaotic management style!! Within minutes the next table just a few feet away showed themselves to be very inconsiderate with a constantly barking dog under the table, very loud barking. I made my feeling very clear to the staff and soon the barking was stopped. Why allow dogs into the eating area? It’s not appropriate!! We started eating out roast dinner only to be disturbed again by a multiple tray crash, three separate crashes one after the other followed by staff rushing past us to investigate and clear up. Remember, our table in an awkward position, very apparent now. A few minutes later I expected a repeat when another staff member tried to navigate a fully loaded tray through a doorway narrower than the tray. It just beggars belief. Get proper trays!! We finished our dinner which was actually very nice, the only good thing in our visit, and left. It is hard to see why we would want to return to The Wheatsheaf Inn. It was chaotic.More

Extremely friendly and professional service. Good food. Nice pint. Sunny day sat outside. What’s not to like. I loved my lunch here and all of the staff I came into contact with were excellent. Our new pup was also happy. At least he looked like...he was as everyone said hello to him and were so lovely. My first visit and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank youMore

We stumbled upon the Wheatsheaf purely by accident and I have to say we will be back! A friendly greeting awaited us from the staff, the menu had a good selection of traditional dishes available along with a few more unusual dishes, I had the...Signature Stilton Burger which was lovely, My partner had The Wheatsheaf Smokies which he said was absolutely amazing. We also shared a mint chocolate cheesecake which was sooooo nice. Lovely service from very happy staff who clearly enjoy working there. We will be back soon to try more dishesMore

The Wheatsheaf Inn is a nice enough pub and looks like a great place to eat lunch when out for the day in the Charnwood area. The service was also quite good. However, the food served to our family was a combination of mediocre and...very poor. Our burgers were served rare, even though we were not asked if we wanted them that way. The Katsu chicken burger was ghastly, with chewy and tasteless chicken mixed with a horrendous curry sauce; there was no hint of a proper Katsu sauce, so that is a very false claim. The Wheatsheaf Smokies dish was okay but nothing to get excited about. Maybe they were having a poor day but using cheap ingredients and cooking them badly is not a good starting point for any food venue. Very disappointed.More

My husband and I have visited this wonderful traditional country pub twice now, both times for Sunday lunch. The pub offers a lovely relaxed environment with open fire for extra warmth. Food is amazing and the staff are extremely friendly & efficient. We’ve so far...sampled the smokies starter (famous I’m told) Roast Beef, Roast lamb and chicken, all superb, not forgetting the Apple crumble which finished off the meal nicely. This lovely pub is a hidden treasure.More

Party of 16 for Sunday lunch. Excellent lunch all round. Everyone in the party commented on how good the food was from the fish pie, full roasts, Wheatsheaf smokies and children's meals and delicious desserts. Service by the waiting staff was excellent. Would highly recommend...and we will be returning again.More

Staff and food are fabulous at this village pub. We visited as part of a large family group ordering everything from Roast Dinners to Burgers to Kids Meals. Everything we ordered tasted delicious and I, for one, will definitely be returning for another Sunday Roast....However, organisation was a bit of an issue. Meals had been pre ordered (which was fine) but staff bringing our food had no idea what was actually on the plates, which did cause some confusion! A minor issue, perhaps, but it's more than a tad embarrassing to discover that the meal you 'd started eating as you'd been told it was yours, turns out to be some else's...oh dear!More

Lovely scenery and car park and service was ok. The main course was divine but the desert was melted! That took away a star for me. Except for that it was wonderful!

We returned to the Wheatsheaf after a walk in the area. We had pre-ordered as it was from the Christmas Menu. The food, service and atmosphere were all very good. The beer was also well kept. This is one of our preferred places to eat...if we are in the area. Highly recommended.More

Vicky and her team did an excellent job for us for my father's recent wake. Family and friends gathered in the upstairs function room which is a lovely room I can wholly recommend for any family event. Staff were on hand to fetch drinks from...the bar if we wanted and the ploughman's buffet was excellent in both quality and portion. Everyone left in good spirits after an emotional dayMore
