The Cotswold stone building that is now The Wheatsheaf Inn, by reputation dates back 600 or 700 years and has been a pub for several hundred of those years. Local legend has it that it also operated as the village slaughterhouse when pubs were multi-purpose affairs! The Wheatsheaf has many historical features including a large lintel over the fireplace which is reputed to be a roman coffin lid recovered during excavations of the gravel pits that now make up the Cotswold Water Parks. The original beams and the main chimney carry carved crosses, supposedly to ward off witches. The pub is mentioned several times in Elspeth Huxley’s book Gallipot Eyes, her diary of life in Oaksey in the 1970s and its history in previous centuries. The pub has recently been extensively refurbished with a newly opened restaurant in the rear half of the building, this serves a full menu of lunch-time and evening meals. The front bar has been retained in its original character as a traditional village inn and a meeting place for local residents and visitors alike. A choice of 3 real ales is normally available. Local attractions include fishing, cycling, flying, golf and the many activities available at the nearby Cotswold water parks. Other facilities offered include a Skittle Alley, Quoits, bar skittles, dominoes & Shut the box. The car park is wheelchair friendly.
