General Comments
A group of 13 of us visited The Wheatsheaf as a) we needed somewhere that could take our number and b) I had read a local review which praised it.



Our initial view of the place was that it was quite small and a fairly traditional pub. From the review I had read for some reason I perceived it to be slightly more modern. But that didn't matter.



The staff were very curteous and efficient. The food arrived promptly (unlike our experience at the Feathers - see N Thompson's review of that). The portions were generous and there was plenty of choice of both starter, main and accompanying veg/salag combos.



The food was very tasty and substantial without being fancy or ostentatious.



Ludlow has a name for being a bit of a foody's Mecca and I think a number of places have jumped on the bandwagon. However The Wheatsheaf provided simple, honest, great tasting pub food. Just what 13 hungry guys needed!
