The Wheatsheaf Inn - Allerdale

What a disappointment. No children's starters, no cheese or soup starters, several main course items not available. We weren't told any of this before ordering, would have been helpful to be told when given menus so we didn't waste time deciding on food choices that weren't available. Asked for wine... they didn't have any, sold out. What we did have was ok, but a touch on the pricey side. Whilst I couldn't complain about what we got, the pub lacked good customer service, when I went to pay the bill the waitress was too busy washing dishes in the kitchen to see so had to go into the bar area to pay. Not sure when they sold out of everything as we were there at 6pm on a Saturday evening and at the time of arrival the only people in the restaurant.

My husband and I ordered a turkey roast dinner. The service was great and our dinners arrived quickly. The food was delicious, hot and plenty of it. The gravy was sensational, can’t recommend enough.

Having some time to kill in Abbey Town, I was lured in by the sign outside which promised Real Ale . However when I asked what real ales were available, the landlord didn 't even seem to know what a real ale even was. Instead he offered me a pint of keg John Smiths . As I was only there for a quiet afternoon pint, I can 't comment on the food. But after gulping down a very mediocre pint of Strongbow, I left feeling more than a little dissatisfied. If it were not for the false advertising I would have just gone somewhere else which did sell real ale. Service was good. Atmosphere was lacking, and If you are looking for good quality well kept beer, then I am afraid I can 't recommend the Wheatsheaf. Hopefully the food makes up for it.

Food was terrible got the ham and it was crappy packet ham.other meals were greasy, also toilets were dirty. Definitely wont be back.

Good food and sizeable portions. quite pricey but worth the money. beer garden looked quite good although i didn’t use it myself.
