The Wheatsheaf, Stamford Hill, N16

The original Watney Coombe Reid signage is still on the pub's exterior, but the shamrock and Gaelic script writing suggest that it's now branded as an Irish pub. Entering through the open door on the left I was in what might be regarded as the public bar area. There was no real ale in this bar, but I didn't go round to the bar on the right so there might have been a pump there that I missed, especially as the pub's website, as well as WhatPub, claims that it does real ale. I didn't see any sign of food or menus. This is still a basic boozer. There were three large TVs that I saw, two showing some golf, and the other the racing. There's a dartboard in the left hand side of the pub, as well as a pool table at the back. The room surrounds the central horseshoe bar, and is furnished with one tall table/tall stools as far as I could see, plus several small round tables and small round stools. This is a very basic and ordinary pub with no airs or graces. Next time I'll have a good look to see if there's a handpump that I missed.
