Since Simon (the former manager) left The Wheatsheaf a few months ago the place has turned pretty bad in terms of atmosphere. On the last 2-3 visits to the pub the place seems to have turned very 'white van man' combined with the SAME old depressing face ENDLESSLY on that pool table bringing everyone down. The familiar fun, enthusiastic, bar staff have all gone which is a bit of an odd move by the new management, as they really made the place work - that for me was the final straw. There are plenty of other pubs in Oxford that are far more enjoyable to spend time in.

Great place... Friendly staff, great gigs in what feels like a very genuine kind of pub venue... not club like and trendy but a real local... no mean feat in a city centre like oxford.
