About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
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.

    First visit to The Wheatsheaf and will certainly be returning and recommending to others. A great choice of food, beautifully presented and friendly service. A remarkable wine list covering every pocket and grape variety.

    The menu is fantastic, however I cannot resist their steak, which is consistently excellent. I don't think I have seen or eaten anything hasn't been excellent. The atmosphere is relaxand friendly but with just enough etiquette to make it feel like a serious establishment and a real treat. You will not regret booking to eat at the Wheatsheaf.

    This is our fourth recent visit to the Wheatsheaf and we’ve never been disappointed. The food has been gorgeous and the staff attentive but never in your face. It was my birthday on this occasion and the birthday card on the table was a nice touch.

    It is a mistake to think it’s rare to be able to rely on food and service of this standard and value outside a major city/town. Rutland has its fair share of Restaurants of this quality and The Wheatsheaf in Greetham, in our view, is the benchmark. There is no doubt Scott’s front of House professionalism combined with Clare’s mastery of the Kitchen is the driving force behind the superb experience you are guaranteed here.
