About The Old Wheatsheaf
At 3 Windmill Hill, The Old Wheatsheaf is a restaurant built around three real log fires inside, warming the room on colder visits. The menu runs to twenty dishes, with the Sunday roast, including beef with Yorkshire pudding, served that day. Cask beers are available at the bar, with tastes offered before ordering a pint. Seating is walk-in, with no reservations taken. A front area on the street has no tables, while the rest of the room accommodates diners inside. Dogs are welcome throughout.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast is what reviewers return for most, with diners describing a big Yorkshire pudding, a decent portion of beef and a table found for two adults, a child and a buggy without a booking. Close behind are the Wheatsheaf burgers and onion rings, whose batter one diner singles out, along with a menu that covered a group's different dietary requirements. Many credit new owners for a friendly, welcoming feel, and a few mention live music on Saturdays, jazz playing in the background and a quiz night run by a pleasant quiz master. Three log fires draw praise on cold days, and the garden gets mentions too. Reviewers also note cask beer tastes offered at the bar, very cold wine and lower prices than before, and that the pub is very dog friendly. The only criticism is small: one diner felt a waitress was quick to clear plates while they were still eating, and one cyclist hopes bikes can again come through the gate or be locked up safely at the front. One reviewer, after a Monday visit, said they now need to come back for the roast.
