The Wheatsheaf, formerly a coaching inn dates back to the 17th century. It is now home to the Wheatsheaf Public House adjoining the La Pergola Restaurant.
After lying derelict for a couple of years, the Wheatsheaf reopened in 2007 following a major refurbishment. The large timber-clad extension houses La Pergola, an excellent Italian restaurant, with pizzas cooked in a wood-burning oven. The bar area of the old pub survives but only the original bar back was retained. The large counter has a fine polished granite counter and the beautiful stone flags on the floor were imported from Italy. The guests beers are often from local breweries, with Potton being a favourite.
