About The Wheatsheaf Inn

The Wheatsheaf At Brigsteer was founded in 1762 and has been an integral part of this tiny Lakeland hamlet ever since. It has a rustic-contemporary feel with polished oak floors and handcrafted bistro-style tables and chairs plus six individually refurbished, dog-friendly guest bedrooms if you fancy an overnight stay in this tranquil corner of the Lake District. The family friendly menu is packed with great pub food, created with the freshest seasonal produce, and their award-winning Sunday Roast is not to be missed. If you enjoy proper cask ales, roaring log fires, great pub food and Cumbrian hospitality then the Wheatsheaf is your home away from home.

Always receive a warm and friendly welcome. Service is very efficient and food quality is always well above standard pub fair. Highly recommended

Sorry. Am a good cook myself. My chicken was reasonable. The belly pork meal pretty awful. Staff did their best. Very pushed due to lack of help. Didnt think the quality merited the price paid. As an aside. The broccoli wasnt cooked at all and couldnt cut it. No offence to anyone. They were busy and pleasant.

I had cod fish and found it to be overcooked and dry. We were also put in the conservatory part of the restaurant which both my husband and I felt there was no atmosphere and rather chilly. In other words we were ‘out on a limb’ with service rather slow.

Thought we would give a try after seeing new menu on Facebook and we were not disappointed.The best menu I’ve seen around for ages.Everything we had was lovely and we were well looked after by I presume the manageress. Will definitely recommend and be back.

Excellent menu and food was first class. Friendly service both at dinner and breakfast.

Food was as you might expect: decent, tasty, no complaints, but nothing exceptional. Staff weren't as attentive as they might have been however - we had to wait a good 15-20 minutes for our table to be ready and we didn't get a hint of an apology, and when we first entered it took a fair while for anyone to look up from the bar and acknowledge us. Throughout the evening they became a bit friendlier, and it wouldn't have been enough to put me off returning, but it wasn't the best way to start an evening.

The pub is in a beautiful location, off the beaten track but easy to find. The room was very clean and pleasant, and the service/staff unfussy and efficient. Great menu, great food. Good atmosphere, good breakfast, and overall pretty good value for money. Easy parking and everyone was helpful.

Have visited the pub on many occasions so it was great to see the addition of specials to the menu, giving us more choice . The lamb shank was delicious and our friend enjoyed the pork chop Very welcoming and friendly staff Looking forward to our next visit

Nice relaxed atmosphere and good pub food. I especially enjoyed the very dark meaty gravy on my pie, and had some very tasty "Dizzy blonde" beer. Our dog was welcomed and the staff were warm and helpful.
