Former Watney Combe Reid pub. Very traditional boozer with light Irish theming, sports and racing on TV, pool and darts, but no longer serves real ale.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
A small back-street pub that has retained many traditional features and much of its original two-room layout.
The Wheatsheaf is a mid-terrace Victorian building with a fiercely traditional interior. It contains some features from a refurbishment that might have occurred in the 1930s or might have been later. These include wood panelling on the walls to dado-rail height and some attractive red-and-white tiling around the base of the bar counter. At the top of one side of the bar-back is some illuminated lettering that reads “The Wheatsheaf - Manns”. Even more unusually, signage at the top of the other side reads “A Manns House” - which must pre-date 1958 as that is when the brewery became Watney Mann. Old frosted windows are still in place. The two rooms are now connected via a large arch.
Wheatsheaf, Stoke Newington
