What visitors say
Really friendly welcome and great food at good prices. Really enjoyed both visits. Sunday Lunch was incredible value for money. All staff really welcoming and friendly service which did not feel at all rushed. Dog friendly pub.

We ate at The Wheatsheaf three times during our stay in Lorton this May — and every time was superb. The food is outstanding; my husband's favourite is Shredded Shepherd, which is slow-cooked lamb and black pudding, and I love their Sunday roast! The pub is cosy, the staff are really friendly, and the service is faultless. We always love a meal here after a walk on the fells — it’s the perfect way to round off the day. It’s part of our holiday tradition, and we always book beforehand as it gets really busy. Highly recommend.

This is one of my favourite local campsites . I recently went to a van meet here for the weekend. the site is clean and well maintained . And showers are available. The view from the site is lovely. And added bonus is the pub on site that serves food and even takeouts . The pub had a great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly . I would highly recommend here .

Hard to miss, (was a) mustard coloured pub, along the B5289, with splendid meals and local ales, and a large gin selection. Pleasant, pale green-blue tones accent the decor, plus soft lighting, with wooden tables and chairs spread across two sections, separated by the wood fire crackling away along a wall. The pub almost juts into the street, and a pretty river burbles along the other side of the road. Beer and food is sourced locally with a daily specials board ranging from about £12-19, plus gluten free options. My wife had an unctuous lamb shank on mash, smothered in Cumberland sauce, with a side of veg. I plumped for the 10oz sirloin steak loaded with fried mushrooms and onions, topped with Camembert, and including proper chips and a side salad; a mixture of greens, diced peppers, red onion, and nicely dressed with a balsamic glaze. Above average pub food, which was absolutely delicious, presented well, and went down nicely with their own Yan for the Hill ale. Service was good, and staff were friendly and welcoming; [they let us in early due to pelting rain] and overall, the pub has a cozy feel and little details are done well. Tends to fill up in summer, so you may need to book for meals. Free parking is located behind the pub, as is the beer garden. Look out for the beer festivals. Owners offer a range of nearby accommodations.
