We met up with Mick & Jane at The Wheatsheaf in Titchmarsh for Lunch today.
We were last here (again, with Mick & Jane) in April 2022 and it was good to be back. This used to be our go-to Pub/Restaurant when we first moved here (we must have visited close on 50 times!), but it went through a phase some years ago, where the food and service became somewhat ‘average’. Since then, we found a few other venues to take its place, but happily, in recent years, it’s returned to form.
Actually, the service was a little sluggish. I think the staff were all very willing, it just felt that there wasn’t enough of them – no menus were offered whilst we sat in the Bar! (the usual practice). In the end, we gave up waiting and headed for our table.
Ahh, menus! That helped! Happy days, as it all looked very enticing. By the time the food arrived, we were ready for it!
No problem with the taste – it was all very yummy, but disappointingly, my Mash was cold (however, the flavour of the Pie made up for it! 😁) and I certainly felt that the experience lacked a certain ‘something’. Overall then, the slightly lacklustre service and the food presentation took the shine away from the overall experience, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying each other’s company and comparing notes about recent – and future – holidays! 👍
Based on today, I think we’re going to put The Wheatsheaf ‘on hold’ for a while, as there are plenty of other eateries we can try in the area! ☹️. A real shame!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
