Trading style
The Wheatsheaf operates as a friendly community pub offering well-kept cask ales, a curated selection of beers, wines, and spirits. A menu of traditional pub dishes would ideally complement the drinks offering. The pub features both Sky and TNT TV sports and is popular with sports fans of all categories. Football/Rugby/F1/Golf etc. The pub atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, appealing to a broad customer base including residents, walkers, families, and visitors to the South Downs.
Regular events such as sports, quiz nights, themed evenings, live music, and seasonal celebrations help drive repeat business and maintain the pub’s position as a well-loved local hub. Its garden/patio is a particular draw in warmer months. With strong local heritage and an established customer base, The Wheatsheaf Inn has significant potential to grow its offering further through enhanced food trade, events, and effective community engagement.
This pub would ideally suit a hands-on operator or couple with strong hospitality experience, a passion for community engagement, and the ability to develop a warm and welcoming “true local” feel. An eye for quality service, consistent standards, and creative marketing would help maximise both food and drink opportunities. An operator who embraces local events, quality, good value menus, and partnerships with producers or community groups would thrive here. The ideal applicant will be a natural host—outgoing, proactive, and capable of nurturing a loyal local following while also appealing to tourists passing through the South Downs.
