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.

    Great quality, tasty dishes served by a friendly and efficient team of staff. The Sunday lunch menu is very good value too, with the dessert only costing £3 extra to add on at the end - and add it on you should! Num, num, num...

    We visited on Friday and Saturday night as we were staying nearby. This is one of the friendliest places we have been. The food and service was amazing and the locals really made us feel welcome. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and the staff gave him a birthday card! We will definitely return! Thank you for making our weekend special.

    We were looking for somewhere special to take my Mum for her birthday and The Wheatsheaf was everything that we had hoped and more. The menu was varied but not so many options that you felt overwhelmed. The food was all delicious, perfectly cooked. The staff were all kind and friendly. Having mentioned when booking that we would be celebrating a birthday, there was even a birthday card waiting for my Mum. We would definitely return for another special meal.
