The Wheatsheaf, Yarmouth

A large detached pub, with several entrances including a columned one into the bar area and very tidy looking in a white rendered and brick lower half and a white and timber framed upper. The interior has two rooms in cream, black ceiling beams and wood panel. The one room is really for dining and has lots of tables, the other is more a bar, with a pool table, high stools, sofas, comfy chairs and silent Sky TV. The wooden furniture, like the rooms, is modern. The decoration is supplied by old local photos in the bar and sailing prints and photos in the dining room – I didn’t eat. Service was functional and the clientele mixed, and it was busy enough for me not to be able to sit down – so it was popular. Beer; tap stuff, with an untried London Pride, Goddard’s Fuggle-dee-dum and an ok Ringwood bitter on handpull. A decent beer choice, it is simply my personal taste in pubs that would take me to the more traditional Kings Head around the corner – if you like modern, then here is for you.

Modernised pub, with eating area at rear. OK if you prefer modern to old - some good beers though.
