The Old Wheatsheaf in Enfield is a charming pub that blends historic character with hearty food, quality drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Situated between the town library and Enfield Chase train station, the Old Wheatsheaf is perfectly placed for locals and visitors exploring the high street or nearby green spaces such as Trent Park. The building itself carries a fascinating history, famously known as 'The Vault' where the Hatton thieves once stashed jewels. Today, that historic room has been transformed into a stylish dining and meeting space with original timber loft beams, seating up to 20 or standing for 30, and opening directly onto the garden.
The pub’s interiors combine homely charm with modern comfort, while the rear garden provides a sunny retreat for families and friends. Children can play on the lawn while adults relax under the summer sun, making it a true community hub.
The menu celebrates traditional pub classics crafted from seasonal ingredients. Guests can enjoy comforting mains such as slow cooked meats, fresh fish dishes, and vegetarian options, all prepared with rich, decadent flavours. Sundays are a highlight, with slow roasted meats and seasonal vegetables served as part of a classic roast. For gatherings, buffet menus and five-course set menus are available, alongside the main and lunch menus, offering flexibility for both casual dining and special occasions.
The drinks selection is equally inviting, with local ales, fine wines, and a variety of tipples to suit every taste. Whether enjoying a pint at the bar or a glass of wine with dinner, the drinks list complements the food perfectly.
The Old Wheatsheaf is a comforting pub - a historic and welcoming retreat in the heart of Enfield, offering delicious food, quality drinks, and spaces for both everyday meals and memorable celebrations.
