The Wheatsheaf

You walk into The Wheatsheaf and immediately feel like you're somewhere that's been pulling pints in the same way for decades. The kind of place where regulars have their spots at the bar and the landlord knows what you're having before you ask. It's on Birmingham Road, right in the thick of it, so you get a proper mix—after-work drinkers, match days when the energy shifts entirely, families grabbing a quiet pint on a Sunday afternoon. The place has character that doesn't need explaining; it's just solid, unpretentious boozer energy.
