Roaring log fires in the winter go a long way to making this a warm and homely atmosphere for that get together with friends. We have a large selection of wines and spirits from our well stocked cellar, and traditional real ales. All our wine can be purchased by the bottle or by the glass.

For the summer months we have ample seating outside for dining or drinking.

The Wheatsheaf's wine list has been specially selected by Tim Atkin, Master of Wine and wine writer for The Observer. The list features a selection of some of the best traditional European wines and an exciting range from the southern hemisphere.

If you'd like to try an unfamiliar wine, ask one of our knowledgeable staff for guidance. They'll be happy to take you through the wine list and help you select a wine to your taste.
