Customer Review Summary
The Sunday Roast draws repeated praise, with reviewers calling the beef version delicious with generous portions and a Yorkshire pudding described as big. Close behind, the three real log fires and friendly staff under new ownership stand out, with one reviewer noting cask beer tastings offered at the bar. Several mention it's dog friendly and recommend popping in without a booking.

“I can’t recommend The Old Wheatsheaf in Enfield highly enough! The food is always excellent, the service is friendly and efficient, and all the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Matt and Emma are brilliant owners who have created a fantastic atmosphere and clearly care about their customers. A great local pub that deserves all the support it gets!”

“Popped in for a drink after work and had a fantastic roast dinner. We had beef and it was amazing. Will definitely be back for Sunday dinner again! Picture doesn’t do it justice but the Yorkshire was big.”

“Popped in on a random Sunday after word of mouth the roast being good. I was not let down it was absolutely delicious and decent portion. We didn’t have a booking but they managed to get us a space suitable for 2 adults a child and buggy. Highly recommend pop in for a Roast with Rob the chef.”

“This is my local, it’s really nice and the latest landlords are really lovely. My favourite place to stop for a pint at the end of a great cycle journey. In the past one could bring bikes through the gate, so perhaps that will be reinstated in the future, or the front area with no table on the street could have a nice place to lock up bikes safely. Deffo recommend.”

“We stopped by on a Monday, not aware of the change of ownership, I'd checked the reviews just before setting off to see what was on tap as we'd been there a few time before. I was a bit cynical about the plethora of new reviews saying it was great. I was very wrong. Its definitely much much better than before and the reviews were right Masimo ( spelling?) behind the bar was very friendly offering a taste of the cask beers and chatting about stuff They have three real log fires which were wonderfully warm and somewhat 'magnetic' at this time of year, but as there were three there was space for everyone to cluster round an open fire and revel in it....:-) Wine was super cold. Prices much beter than before. We now need to pop back for a Sunday roast. Very dog friendly, but we didnt have our one this time”
