The Wheatsheaf Inn

Head out towards St John's and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself. The Wheatsheaf sits comfortably on Henwick Road, the sort of place where staff remember your order and the bar hums with genuine conversation rather than forced bonhomie. There's a confidence here—the kind that comes from doing one thing well and letting word-of-mouth do the rest. Real ales rotate through the taps, the food's made properly, and it feels like the pub's been serving this neighbourhood forever because, well, it probably has.
