The Wheel
The Wheel is a down-to-earth, friendly and welcoming village pub. It hasn’t forgotten how to be an honest hostelry, but is also passionate about good food, high quality beer and making customers feel loved.
Rustic, compact and family-run, this free house serves impressive, locally sourced food, often via dishes you wouldn’t expect from a village pub.
Walkers are welcome (so are dogs – in the bar) and you won’t be made to feel naughty for treading mud into the quarry tiles and wooden floorboards. The decor is simple, as is the furniture, and the place is kept spotlessly clean.
On visiting for Sunday lunch, we chatted with the staff and a few locals and were impressed by the warm atmosphere, literally and metaphorically.
Three real ales are available and the regularly changing chalkboard menu offers a range of exciting creations, with starters like crispy pig cheek salad; baked apple, goats’ cheese and walnut salad; and Jerusalem artichoke soup with pub-made bread.

The Wheel is my favourite pub. Always such a good atmosphere. Amazing staff, fantastic food and great wines.
Friendly pub with lovely food. Welcoming staff that have always gone above and beyond for my family.
A great pub with a warm friendly atmosphere. Always has a good selection of real ales and nice wines. Would highly recommend the themed night dining experiences which have excellent food and are good value for money.
Fantastic warm and friendly pub with great locally sourced food. The menu changes on a monthly basis so there is always plenty of delicious choices with an extensive wine list to match. Will highly recommend this pub.
Went to the wheel on Wednesday and had some great food! Started with a lovely pint of Brewsters Decadence which was fantastic. I then had a starter of devilled kidneys which were delicious. For my main I had the ribeye steak which I recommend to anyone. Best steak in the Vale next to a roaring fire.
Fantastic setting, warm and friendly atmosphere- divine fresh cooked food and a choice of real ale or beers. What more could one ask for?! ❤
A great pub that serves very good food.
Have been meaning to write about a superb Sunday lunch a few weeks ago. The beef was sublime, the Yorkshire puddings light and moreish, lovely crunchy roast potatoes with fluffy insides AND the veg was an event rather than an afterthought. Lovely, creamy cauliflower cheese, sweet root vegetables and greens cooked to perfection. Having been brought up as a vegetarian (and now a committed carnivore), I often find veg side dishes unimaginative and poorly cooked. Definitely not the case here. Super gravy too and the steady hum of contended, relaxed conversation in the room all added to the ambience.
When I take friends to the Wheel they are always impressed by the cosy and simple interior, a great selection of drinks, some creative and tasty food plus really caring and personal service. Best to book a table if it’s the weekend. Enjoy.
