My reviews are always fair and balanced, so I will focus on the good first. The menu is varied and reasonably priced for a pub of this type. The food was excellent and of particular note it was all served at the same time and...beautifully hot (how often is one person in a group waiting at a some places??). The drinks and wine list are extensive. A little expensive possibly but not outrageous prices. However. The access into the pub is down a slope so for any mobility issues, a little tricky. Whilst the pub is dog friendly, which is ok in the bar, I did not enjoy the experience of the dogs running from table to table in the restaurant begging for food. Just not on. The style of flagstones, wooden tables and no soft furnishings means the noise level in the restaurant is very high. So get an exuberant diner on another table and you’ll not hear yourself! I saw two tables leave sooner than they might have due to this. No one asked us if everything was ok, food good, etc, common practice usually. So would I go again? Hmmm probably go somewhere else first. BUT if noise, dogs and ambivalent service doesn’t bother you, then go, the food is lovely!More

Really charming and lovely pub & restaurant with great vibe. Great service and good food and interesting beers. Lovely home made bread and an interesting menu. Located in some great walking country. Plenty of parking.

A quaint looking pub in a beautiful location but we felt the food was pricey & disappointing. One of our meals was completely overcooked to the point it was inedible and had to be sent back! Lovely staff but sadly wouldn’t rush back….

We went for Sunday lunch after a walk in the lovely countryside around Combe Hay. Service was good but the disappointment was that only three items were offered as main courses (for Sunday lunch) and only one of those was a vegan option. And that...option was a risotto, which seems to be the standard vegan "option" in about 75% of pub restaurants. It's not very creative and although I am an omnivore, my partner is not. We should probably have looked at the menu beforehand, but really, in this day and age, having only one vegan item on the menu is a bit behind the times.More

The setting is beautiful and there was a lovely atmosphere BUT the food is way too pricey for what you get. The cannelloni was just 2 small tubes and the rest of the plate was covered in tomatoes and leaves, tasty but left feeling hungry...and out of pocket. My dad had the crab, definitely wasn't worth £30! HOWEVER my partner had the fish and chips which was spot on, huge and tasted lovely and fresh!More

Beautiful pub in a glorious location. We visited by chance on a sunny February day and were really pleased that we did. I am Coeliac so it was lovely to have a dedicated gluten free menu. I had battered fish and chips, which was a...real treat for me, and my husband’s and daughter’s choices were equally good. The food arrived quickly and the service overall was brilliant. Our dog was also made welcome and the resident dogs were lovely. Hopefully we will return!More

A most enjoyable evening and stay here at the Wheatsheaf, Combe Hay. A birthday treat for my wife, she loved it. Great atmosphere, top food, top staff, made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived late afternoon. The room was cosy and warm with...some lovely touches and a large bathroom/shower & big comfortable bed. Slept really well! Finished off with a generous breakfast in the morning. Thanks Wheatsheaf!

A wonderful evening at the Wheatsheaf easily made my long journey on a dark wet night worthwhile. The location is lovely and the old stone pub was a cosy retreat in welcome contrast to the inhospitable weather. Great service from the friendly team and the...food was knock out… homemade breads with all the trimmings, creamy flavoursome scallops, and perfectly cooked brill. Sides and sauces were excellent, as were the homemade ice creams to finish. Special thanks also to the chef and team for taking care over my tricky allergies.More

Used to frequent this pub with family and then friends 35 years ago so popped back for some nostalgia! It was a beautiful day and the garden looked magnificent and very welcoming however a little nippy so we ate inside. Just as it was back...then but bigger and better. We both had Chickpea burgers with Halloumi and sauces which were delicious. Great food, attentive service and good value, thank youMore

This pub was highly recommended but rather disappointing. I had Brill, nicely cooked, but on limp and tasteless unseasoned Pak Choi. The burgers were small and underwhelming. Frangipane and pear tart was dry, hard and lacking in flavour. Very little pear, very little almond flavour...and pastry too hard to cut with a spoon. Wished I’d had the sticky toffee pudding, which was good. Obviously very popular with locals so perhaps we caught it on an off nightMore

Quaint pub, great location. Stayed in one of the rooms. The only fault i can find with it is that the WC smelt overwhelmingly of cat urine. But the food was very good.
