Wheatsheaf, SE1 9AA
- Address: 6 Stoney Street, Borough, London SE1 9EF
- Locale: Southwark
- Nearby Tube stops: London Bridge
Refurbished around a year ago, this is a small attractive Youngs Pub with wood paneled walls and a lively atmosphere. Situated directly opposite Borough Market, a couple of doors down from the [Market Porter]?, the Bankside tourists tend to bypass the Wheatsheaf for the lure of the well-stocked Market Porter. This gives it a more local atmosphere.
Drinks
The range of Youngs, plus usually one or two guest Ales. Typically well maintained beer. I've managed to get tasters too.
Food
It has the atmosphere of a drinking pub, but its proximity to the Market has lead to the kitchen chalking inviting looking dishes on the blackboard outside. I have yet to try the food though.
Service and Ambience
Always friendly, quick service, usually a lot of laughter around the place.
Facilities
Toilets are basic, but not unpleasant. usually pin iconic picture postcards weekly to signify Mens and Ladies (last time I was in it was Brando for the boys and Mae West for the girls). Dartboard, and 2 fireplaces. Cosy.
