Review on The Wheatsheaf Inn at Oaksey
The Wheatsheaf has been dispensing beer and hospitality for several hundred years, and you can still see fascinating echoes of its past in the bar: note the lintel over the fireplace (reputedly the remnants of an ancient coffin lid) and the carved crosses on the beams and chimney (apparently to ward off witches). The pub has retained its 'local' character with real ales, a skittle alley and other traditional pub games, and continues to play its part as a local watering hole to the denizens of Oaksey.
New owners Michaela and Mike took over the Wheatsheaf in January 2017 and are already making their mark with their friendly welcome, and a menu of homemade dishes using carefully sourced local ingredients. The menu kicks off in true style with breaded whitebait or ham hock terrine, followed by a pub classic of traditional beer battered cod or meat lovers might opt for the rib eye steak. When it comes to desserts enjoy favourites like sticky toffee pudding served with vanilla ice cream, or spiced apple and winter berry crumble with your choice of cream or custard.
