Property details
Greetham has a strong sense of community and is surrounded by open countryside that appeals to walkers, cyclists, and visitors. With Oakham just six miles away, and Rutland Water close by, the pub benefits from a consistent mix of local regulars and destination diners. Its proximity to the A1 also brings passing trade, helping the Wheatsheaf perform well throughout the week and across the year.
The Wheatsheaf is a welcoming village pub set in the attractive Rutland village of Greetham, just minutes from the A1. From the moment customers arrive, the pub makes a strong impression, with a traditional frontage, open countryside views, and a garden that features a small stream running through it.
Inside, the pub balances its food reputation with the feel of a proper local. The front bar remains a relaxed, social space, popular with regulars stopping in for a drink and a catch‑up. Beyond this, the dining areas offer a comfortable setting for guests who visit specifically to eat.
Food is central to what makes the Wheatsheaf special. The pub has built a strong reputation for quality dishes, with menus that change regularly and reflect the seasons. This reputation has attracted praise from established food groups and continues to draw diners from surrounding villages and beyond.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a private kitchen, and a private lounge.

Trading style
Despite its success, the Wheatsheaf has stayed true to its village roots. It remains friendly, informal, and welcoming, with good beer, carefully chosen wines, and an atmosphere that encourages customers to return time and again.
This opportunity will suit a food‑confident publican or partnership that takes real pride in what they serve.
Strong experience in the kitchen will be important, as customers already arrive with high expectations. The incoming publican will be able to step into a well‑equipped kitchen and established dining spaces, with the freedom to shape menus and continue building on an already respected food offer.
Just as important is a warm, visible presence in the pub. Regulars value being recognised and welcomed, and becoming part of village life is key to the Wheatsheaf’s continued success. Confidence using social media to share menus, specials, and the pub’s setting will help maintain its profile with both locals and visitors.
