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.

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!!

We regularly eat at the Wheatsheaf, as it always is delicious food. Scott and Carol are a delightful couple who work exceedingly hard to exceed expectations. This is simply the best place to eat in Rutland and great value for money.
