The Wheatsheaf

Head down Bargate and you'll find The Wheatsheaf doing what it does best—being the kind of reliable local you can count on. You're looking at a traditional pub setup with enough character to feel genuine, not trying too hard. The food's straightforward stuff that doesn't pretend to be something it's not, and they've got the drinks sorted whether you're after a pint or something more considered. It's busy enough to have proper atmosphere but not so rammed you can't hear yourself think. The sort of place where regulars nod at each other and newcomers don't feel out of place.
