About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Based in Greetham, The Wheatsheaf is 6 miles from Oakham and 4 miles from Rutland Water. Carol and Scott took over the Wheatsheaf in March 2008. The seasonal Modern British menu changes weekly. The wine list is based on wines from around the world with a good selection by the glass. We also have an excellent selection of beers and local cask ales.

In 2021 The Wheatsheaf was a new entry in The Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastro Pubs and was also awarded The Michelin Red Plate.

We are closed on Mondays and Tuesday except Bank Holidays.

    A very nice place to eat. The food was excellent with a warm welcome as always by the host. The service was just a little bit slow. I can highly recommend this place.

    Excellent The 3 course lunch menu for £28.50 is very good value. The dishes we had I would probably have chosen anyway though how often do you see rabbit rillettes? Our friend who is knowledgeable about wine was very impressed with the wine list. He thought we were so lucky to have such an outstanding pub. We agree

    We are always greeted with a personal welcome when we arrive at The Wheatsheaf which is lovely. My uncle and I always enjoy the delicious meals here. The home made bread & butter goes down a treat and the freshly prepared food never disappoints. Booking is essential as it is always busy!!
