A former coaching inn built in 1890, The Wheatsheaf in Hightown, Sandbach has been acquired by The Pear Family, who own Pecks Restaurant in Congleton, Lion & Swan

The Pears are planning to breathe new life into the historic building. Following extensive refurbishment and restoration, The Wheatsheaf in Sandbach will become 'A Quintessentially British Gastropub'. We aim to make the Wheatsheaf your regular haunt, appreciated for outstanding food quality, great beers, wines, cocktails, friendly engaging service, and perhaps most importantly, superb value for money.

You know when you arrive with your order already decided, then spot something on the menu that changes everything? 👀

Well, this might just do it.

Rich dark chocolate hot chocolate, with cinnamon-sugared waffle fingers, chocolate popcorn and crème fraîche. 🍫🧇

We could waffle on about how good it is, but we reckon the picture says enough.

Although dipping those warm waffle fingers into the chocolate is rather hard to resist.

Ian's been busy keeping the fire going on our terrace again. 🔥🍂

It's that time of year when the mornings are getting a bit chilly, the coffee tastes even better by the fire, and Ian's taken it upon himself to make sure nobody gets cold.

We've even had a few people swapping their home offices for a spot by the fire. Not a bad idea, really. A laptop, a decent coffee and plug sockets to keep everything charged.

Anyway, if you're looking for Ian, you'll probably find him adding another log to the fire. He's taking this very seriously. 😂🔥

Mark and the kitchen team have been showing off again. 👀

This time, it's duck. Beautifully cooked, looking far too pretty for something that's about to be demolished in five minutes.

We'll give Mark the credit for this one. Wouldn't want it going to his head, though. 😏

Just another evening in The Wheatsheaf kitchen.

There she is – Macheala 💛👋

One of the originals, here since the day The Wheatsheaf opened and, at this point, probably entitled to part ownership of the building.

She somehow knows what’s going on everywhere – bookings, guests, the hotel, the floor, the team, and whatever little drama has kicked off in the last five minutes.

She’s a big reason our standards stay so high too. She notices the details, gets things sorted and makes chaos look suspiciously organised. 😅

She’s brilliant with guests – warm, welcoming, naturally funny, and the kind of person who makes you feel like she’s known you for years, even if it’s your first time through the door.

Then there’s the energy. ⚡️

She clocks up around 28,000 steps flying around The Wheatsheaf…

…and then goes to the gym. 💪

At this point, we’re fairly sure “Gym Macheala” is just her alter ego.

Same energy. Slightly more Lycra. 😂

(Starting to think this is becoming a bit of a theme with this team. 👀🏋️)

Macheala’s been a huge part of The Wheatsheaf from day one, and we’re very lucky to have her.

If she ever sits down for five minutes, please alert us immediately.

We’ll need photographic evidence. 📸💛

New menu, new reasons to argue over who’s having what. 👀

This little starter’s already getting plenty of attention.

And yes, you’ll probably want a bite of everyone else’s too. 🍅
