The Wheatsheaf Inn

The Wheatsheaf Inn is an informal bar and restaurant on Bridge Road in Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. Its character is deliberately individual, combining a tap room, craft beer and relaxed dining with an interior full of unusual decorative touches. The setting suits casual drinks, a light bite or a more substantial meal without feeling formal.

The bar focuses on interesting and quality beer brands, with craft beer served alongside small plates for lighter appetites. The restaurant offers lunch and dinner, giving the kitchen room for more filling meals, while Sunday roast dinners form part of the regular food offering. The style is straightforward and sociable, with food and drink suitable for a midweek meal, an evening out or a longer gathering.

An enclosed harbour courtyard provides the main outdoor setting. The space has relaxed furniture, a bespoke mural and wall art, with a collection of curios and objets d’art adding to the inn’s playful atmosphere. Copper diving helmets have been turned into light fittings, beer barrels serve as tables with hand-painted tops, and details such as old leather suitcases, octopus tentacles and Jesterfield sofas give the courtyard a distinctive look.

The Wheatsheaf Inn suits diners who prefer an informal venue with a strong sense of personality rather than a conventional pub interior. The bar and tap room work for drinks and small plates, while the restaurant offers a setting for lunch, dinner, date nights, groups and special occasions. The courtyard adds another option for relaxed outdoor dining or drinks when the setting is suitable.

Dogs are welcome, and cyclists can make use of the bike racks in the courtyard. Live music and quiz evenings are also part of the inn’s programme, with details communicated through its social channels. The venue is located at Bridge Road, Yarmouth, and can be contacted by telephone or email for current arrangements.
