"The Wheatsheaf is a Borough Market institution. It is a glorious pub and effective in its coherence. The sandwiches should be the first port of call, whether fish fingers or beef shin and pickles or some other creation; buttermilk fried chicken makes for a tasty bowl; the sausage rolls mustn’t be ignored. Be warned, however: The Wheatsheaf’s location means punters might want to be tactical if seeking a hake fish cake of an evening. It’s usually worth waiting until the after work crowd have gone before settling down to curly fries. Or go, drink, then mop up the beer with cheddar bites and chutney. One plate, generous as it is, won’t be enough." - Josh Barrie
