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.

    The Wheatsheaf at Greetham is a delightful experience. We’d eaten here before and loved it so came back for more. The waitress was attentive without being over enthusiastic and Carol’s home made bread was as good as we remembered. Both our meals were delicious and the wine (we always have a bottle) was not over priced. The landlord was also attentive but never in your face. We will be going back.

    Great food, friendly staff. Very busy so service was a bit hit and miss. Had to prompt staff a few times to get drinks and order. Would go again

    Went for my daughter's 21st birthday on a Friday evening with 3 generations of the family and all loved it. I contacted the restaurant prior to our visit to check on my son's allergies and received a prompt friendly reply. A birthday card was on the table when we arrived and the attention to detail helped to make our visit so enjoyable. The food was outstanding, service was superb and the atmosphere was so relaxed. No pressure to rush your food or drinks. Would recommend the Wheatsheaf to everyone
