Part of a terrace, the Wheaten Sheaf (this is its actual name - it's incorrectly worded on the inn sign) was refitted around 1960 and has not changed much since. A red-tiled passage has rooms either side plus an off-sales hatch that also serves the lounge. The main bar, on the left has a red-tiled floor, a large partly-curved counter and a brick fireplace of indeterminate date. The ply panelling on the front of the counter and on the dado is very 'sixties'. The lounge, on the right, has fixed seating all round the room but has lost its fireplace.
The interior appears to have been refitted in about 1960 and not changed since. Landlady Marion Palmer ran the pub for 40 years until 2017. It is situated in a terrace of houses and has a rendered front - note the Felinfoel inn sign incorrectly worded ‘Wheatsheaf’.
From the front door there is a passage with a red tiled floor leading to the rear. A door on the left leads to the ‘Bar’ with a figure ‘2’ on the top of it. Further down the passage on the left is the off sales hatch, which also serves the lounge that is situated on the right. This has fixed seating around the room that looks 1960s work, but has lost its fireplace and there is some 1950s ribbed hardboard in evidence.
The main bar has a red tiled floor, large bar counter curved at the front and straight at the rear with 1960s ply panelling on the front and the wooden top is possibly older. The brick fireplace could date from the late 1950s (or late 1930s) and the dado has c.1960 ply panelling. At the rear of the red tiled hallway is a room on the right with a figure ‘3’ on it. The toilets further down the passage at the rear left with a latch door. Opens at 6 Mon to Fri.
