Part of the Chef & Brewer portfolio, this imposing building has a large open plan dining area either side of a central bar. A small comfortable drinking zone lies just inside the door, close to the bar. An extensive refurbishment was carried out August 2016 but this has not altered the layout rather creating a more contemporary look with plenty of exposed brickwork, stained timber and tiled floors.
Historic Interest
The Wheatsheaf was registered as an Asset of Community Value on the 11th May 2016 by Gedling Borough Council after being nominated by the Nottingham Branch of CAMRA. Designed by T. Cecil Howitt, a nationally known 1930s pub architect, who was also responsible for the Art Deco gem, the Vale Hotel, Daybrook. Sadly, the interior has of the Wheatsheaf has been totally re-developed. (www.heritagepubs.org.uk).
The current pub was built on the site of an earlier Wheat Sheaf Inn. In the 1823 Alehouse Recognizances for the South Thurgarton Hundred, the Wheat Sheaf was under victualler Samuel Taylor (County Archives C/QD/LV/4/7/2).
As at November 2017, the freehold for the Wheatsheaf (NT259933) was held by British Land Leisure Limited [Reg. No. 5215386].
