"The food was wonderful, and the staff were incredible! They were friendly, courteous, and attentive. However, there was a very rude and aggressive man who was shouting and swearing at the staff, completely disregarding the multiple families with children nearby. I don’t know how the staff managed to stay so calm and professional; I was almost ready to get up and confront him myself, as his behavior was completely childish! He clearly needs someone to talk to. Despite this disruption, the staff handled the situation admirably. Thank you for the amazing food and great atmosphere!"

"We went for a family meal, the experience wasnt good and we ordered dessert at the end and it was awful. This came out in a clay bowl. At the time I hadn't noticed but it had a chip in it. I took a bite into the ice cream i had swollen some of the chipped bowl. When telling a staff member they were not bothered and just offered another ice cream. Whilst I did accept this at the time, this wasn't a compensation it was just something they did. I will never be attending again. On top of this the quality does seem to have gone down hill. We will be trying to find elsewhere as we have been coming here for years now so it's a massive shame. But definitely do not order the ice cream as its not worth the money. £6 for a very small pot of ice cream with no flavour as its definitely freezer burnt.

"Despite being a bit pricey, the pub seemed pleasant until I witnessed the landlady yelling at customers at the bar. It turns out they had found something on top of a can and asked for a replacement, but she refused to serve them. The whole situation could have gone unnoticed by the other patrons if the landlady had not made a scene in front of everyone. Her behavior was rude and unnecessary, as she was the only one escalating the situation. If you cannot handle criticism or interact with customers respectfully, you should not be in a customer-facing role. This kind of behavior is unacceptable for a landlady."

"We visited the Wheatsheaf Burton Joyce on Thursday 09/11/2023 for dinner. We had a table for four people. We all had different meals they were lovely. The service was excellent from the whole team but especially both ladies called Mia. They were so attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. We are all local to the pub and we have not visited for a very long time due to being disappointed with our visits. I must say yesterday evening has definitely changed our opinion and we shall all be returning soon. Thank you for making our visit extremely pleasant."

"First time we have visited this restaurant, we booked a table and on the first impression it looked lovely, we chose a starter and main course, when the starter come it was fairly nice but nothing spectacular, we ordered the chateaubriand at a cost of £85 which was for 2 people which celebrating a special occasion we accepted; when the main meal come out it was slightly disappointing the chips where like very standard frozen oven chips from Iceland and the steak was very basic, I’ve had a lot better for a lot less; the most disappointing bit of the night was the very basic trained staff, not once through the night did we get asked if the meal was cooked fine or to satisfaction ,! When the staff come to collect the dishes they just said have you finished!!!! And to add insult to the poor staffing they automatically added a 10% sevice charge to the bill which I have no problem leaving a tip if it’s up decent standard which this obviously wasn’t, It was such a shame as it looks like the owners have spent a lot of money on the restaurant but not spent the money on the staff training."
