The Wheatsheaf - Rushcliffe

We came for afternoon tea and it was absolutely delightful. They do accommodate special requests, and the food sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream, and desserts were all delicious. Service was impeccable.

I'll start by saying that our food was fine (apart from the fact that two out of about 10 mussels were unopened) but prices are a little too high for the type of place. The restaurant wasn't very busy and lacked atmosphere. The service was ok but not outstanding.

Booked a table for 3 at 5.45pm. Could not have earlt bird 2 courses for set price as advertised online. Two meals, pasta and chicken/ rice were served on cold plates. Never serve anything, especially rice and pasta on cold plates. Third mal was a curry in small iron pots. Desserts served on cold plates. Spotted dick wasn't warm enough. Disappointed. Not good value for money.

Brought my daughter for food. the kids menu is lovely, clearly well thought of by people with children which is always a good start. Our main courses of trio of pie was something else. My husband wanted to order a portion to take home. Nice to eat somewhere child friendly but also with good food for adults. Ambience was very nice early evening. Candles lit but still lively and welcoming. Need to come back to enjoy some cocktails and ciders.

Visited here a few times for Sunday lunch and it has always been an enjoyable experience with amazing food. We have recommended Sunday lunch to a number of people. We booked a table for 4 of us. We were seated quickly, given menus and orders taken promptly. Myself and my partner are vegetarian and both ordered the wellingtons which were very nice. Our friends ordered the roast platter and the sirloin beef. All the meat was overcooked and tough. I did complain and was given a discount on those meals. Throughout the meal no one offered any condiments, more drinks or asked if everything was OK. I had to seek out a member of staff. Very disappointed, the price that the meals are, I would expect better. Will not be recommending anywhere again.
