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.

    This is the best Sunday lunch there is within a 500 mile proximity of Greetham !!Excellent, friendly ,knowledge able staff , great service with a smile. Extensive wine list for all palates and a good range of prices. I don’t usually do dessert but the coffee and chocolate crème brûlée was amazing as was the rabbit terrine oh and the roast beef … actually everything!!

    This is the third consecutive year my husband and I have returned to The Wheatsheaf for "lunch for less ".The quality of the food and excellent service are second to none. The food always arrives hot and flavoursome. We are served by very helpful, pleasant staff.

    We loved the relaxed feel of this place. Oysters and sea bream was well presented and delicious. I will recommend this place to friends and family. Well done, we enjoyed it very much.
