Up there with The Bon Accord and Aberdeen's Prince of Wales, this is a traditional boozer that…read moreticks all of the boxes! It's quite a small pub and it can get pretty busy on Friday and Saturday evenings, but the clientele are really friendly and warm, as are the staff, so it's not an issue. I've been drinking in here for well over ten years with a crowd of friends and it's become the traditional venue for our Christmas Eve pintage. The place was bought over several years ago by a well-known local publican who had a good reputation for fixing pubs up, getting them running well and moving on. He's never moved on from The Sheaf - which must tell you something! On draft there's always a really good selection of guest ales as well as the standards. There's been a real focus on ale in here and you're always assured something interesting to try. The staff are top-class, I'm always greeted with a warm smile. For me The Sheaf comes into it's own on a cold winter's night - it's small, cosy, there's an open fire, auld men with dogs, great malts, tasty ales and a warm welcome.

It is often hard to attract the attention of the waiting staff, with the exception of the small girl with the curly hair and the bouncy walk. She's lovely. Fish and chips, burgers, steak pie all very good. Recommended

The Funky Forest(Childrens' play area)is no longer supervised by staff for a small fee) The Little Darlings now have to be supervised by a member of the party. This defeats the whole point of the venue. The menu, which used to be varied and reasonably priced is now dull and not very good value for money. The table service was abominable. Trying to attract a waiter's attention was well nigh impossible. The staff showed complete indifference when we tried to attract their attention on more than one occasion Not to be recommended.

How things have changed, the pipes have been cleaned and the light snacks and nibbles on sale are in date. There has even been the addition of a female bar maid or two in recent times, which for the Woody, is an event of similar significance to the fall of the Berlin Wall. I can't complain much at all about this boozer, the clientele is of a slightly more mature nature, but there is never any trouble and the beer is good. If anything the seats need to be widened to accommodate for my appalling posture, but it is otherwise an establishment of the highest caliber. Best buy is a pint of Belhaven Best, and if you're feeling classy, why not use it to wash down a pack of Scampi fries. Welcome to the world of Falkirk's elite.

Nowadays you only have a splitting headache to contend with in the morning rather than hallucinations due to the loss of fluid, but it's still just as enjoyable as ever. The walls are yellow from years of nicotine stains, Sweetheart Stout is on sale, and while it might look and feel like an "old man" pub, at weekends especially the punters come from a wide age range. It's my favourite pub of all, and nothing beats a sit down here with a Best and a bag of chilli nuts. It's been going well over 150 years and assuming Kim Jong-il doesn't push the red button, I expect it will last a few more centuries yet.
