About The Wheatsheaf

The Wheatsheaf is an alternative, rock and metal pub in Banbury, at 68 George St, not far from the town centre. It occupies an old building that has been renovated and hosts live gigs, so fans of alternative, rock and metal music can see bands in person. Food is served alongside the music, so a meal and a gig can share the same visit. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring them along.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the live gigs at this alternative and metal pub, with one citing excellent sound and several pointing to great live acts. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful, and one reviewer calls the landlord a top geezer. Close behind are nice food and an old school heavy metal look with a DIY edge, and one reviewer made lifelong friendships there.

    “Great little venue, old school Heavy Metal Asthetics with a cool DIY edge. Landlord is a top geezer too.”
  • Paul Gibson
    “I recently attended a gig here and it’s honestly one of the best Alternative / Metal pubs in England. It reminded me of The Banshee Labyrinth in Edinburgh. Great atmosphere, excellent sound, nice food and friendly staff. Worth visiting and checking out for gigs! 10/10”
