The Wheatsheaf

The Wheatsheaf hasn’t been available for over 23 years, making this a truly rare chance to take on a thriving, well-established pub. As John retires after more than three decades in the trade, he leaves behind a highly successful business and heads off to enjoy life with his partner — in his words, “to do nothing, no plans, no alarms, just nothing, for a bit.” With strong existing trade and a loyal customer base, this is a ready-made opportunity with solid foundations and plenty of scope for a new owner to make their mark.

Stunning Location & Strong Trade 

Located just minutes from Rutland Water, The Wheatsheaf benefits from a steady flow of walkers, cyclists, and destination diners, alongside a loyal and supportive village community. Close to Oakham, Stamford, and renowned venues like Hambleton Hall, it’s perfectly positioned in a sought-after area that continues to grow, with planned housing developments set to bring even more potential customers. 

Character, Space & Potential 

Inside, the pub offers a warm and welcoming trading space centred around a fabulous log burner, with around 50 covers inside and a further 50 outside. Outside, a generous patio and garden area already provide a fantastic setting, while additional land to the side and rear offers exciting potential to create something truly special. With opportunities to grow the food offer, enhance social media presence, and further maximise the space, this is a standout business with real upside.

A Welcoming Community & Well-Connected Location

Set in the heart of a friendly and supportive village, The Wheatsheaf is at the centre of a close-knit community that truly values its pub. Just minutes from Rutland Water and within easy reach of Oakham and Stamford, the area attracts both affluent visitors and loyal locals, creating a strong and diverse customer base. With good road links, nearby schooling options, and ongoing village expansion through planned housing, this is a location that offers not only a great quality of life but long-term potential for a growing and sustainable business.
