I had the beef burger which was good. I think it had probably been a bit overcooked and was quite dark, however the flavour was really nice, and it was large! Plenty of cheese and bacon, all served in a nice big bun. (Also came with nicely cooked thin fries which were tasty) Someone else had the gammon, chips and egg from the 'lighter bites ' section which was really good. And great price for the portion size. I would definitely recommend this place and happily eat here again.

The Wheatsheaf is ideally situated in the centre of the village and has a decent sized car park for guests. We were given a pleasant room overlooking the beer garden. A nice touch is that the coffee provide in the rooms is the fresher coffee bag type as opposed to the normal saches of instant coffee The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice to suit everyone 's taste. We had an evening meal there on the first night, the food being straight forward well cooked 'pub grub '. We like cask beers and whilst not a 'real ale ' pub in that the choice of cask beers was limited, we did enjoy our several visits to the bar. What is outstanding about the Wheatsheaf is the friendliness of all the staff we met including the very helpful housekeeping lady. A big thank you to the attentive Abigail who looked after us so well when we had our evening meal and also to Kelly. She warmly greeted us on our arrival, looked after us so well during the breakfast service and was very helpful when we asked her about the best route to take from the village to reach Ingleborough. The next time we visit Ingleton we 'll definitely stay at the Wheatsheaf.

Bank Holiday Monday and it was busy but we were served quickly. Husband said his gammon was good, 2 large steaks with eggs, chips and peas. I opted for the BBQ sharing platter as a main and it was lovely. Tasty and well presented. Enjoyed our evening and would return.

The Not so good: Our room was reasonable but dated, the carpet needed a good clean (the carpets in the corridors were filthy). The shower was as powerful as drizzle, the shower head drooped, the water constantly changed temperature. I awoke in the morning wheezing and with itchy, watery, eyes a rare allergic reaction for which I had to use an inhaler and take anti histamine. It was unpleasant but not serious, I can only think that there must have previously been a dog in the room and inadequate cleaning done afterwards. Annoying as I noticed they charge dog owners an extra £15 to cover extra room cleaning after the stay. The food was pricy (e.g. nearly £8 for 4 prawns which I suspect were frozen and bought in) and really not that great. I had been looking forward to the Curry all day but when I went to order and asked if I could have chips instead of rice I was told no, its against the rules to change a special . Unbelievable, the rice was served as a separate item on the plate so it would have been very easy to replace it with chips. I don 't eat rice so ended up with a Lasagne which was dry and tasteless. Very disappointing Breakfast was no better, the full english should have been great but the sausage was poor, cheap meat and full of salt, the bacon was overcooked and tough, the mushrooms were rubbery. We certainly wont be returning

We walked in and we 're welcomed by a waitress who looked at me and said no tables There were plenty of tables! We left and went else where. Very disappointing service.
