The Chequers

I was very disappointed with how cold the pub was. The door was open to the pub and it made it very chilly inside. I really feel the menu now needs to be updated. I know there are specials but the specials don't seem to vary that much either. I have been a loyal customer here for several months now and I've been coming here every Friday. In the last few weeks I really noticed a difference in this pub I'm sorry to say.

A warm welcome and outstanding food and service. This was a stop-off on our journey home. Just wished we lived nearer so we could visit more.

Service was very slow! Love the staff and love this place!

Food was outstanding. Service was a little slow, and felt forgotten about at times. Considering the restaurant was not busy for a Sunday afternoon. A little more attentiveness would have been key. We had various servers over the course of two hours, and had to request some items more than once before they arrived, with one drink at the end of the meal taking 15mins.
Location and cleanliness were also very good. We will be returning with the hope that the servers can bring back a warmer invitation. Rather just a fast food restaurant approach of serve and leave....

The experience from arriving until leaving was excellent it was a joy to have Sunday lunch with you

Very disappointed to use the app which didn't actually work had to manually order in the end which is what I wanted to do in the first place. Happy to use an app that works but very frustrating when an app doesn't work. Wasn't told the specials tonight. Otherwise the food was good.

Kind and friendly staff. Good food selection and prompt service. Will be visiting again soon

Excellent food, ideally I would sit outside as we did very relaxed, 100% recommend

Fantastic service from Claire and lovely food!

Friendly staff, pleasant surroundings, easy parking, convenient location.

Had a table outside under the sail, fairly busy on a Thursday night but atmosphere was very nice. Tables well spaced comfortable seating, cushions and blankets if you want them. Staff very attentive and helpful with any questions. All food was to a very high standard and well presented, from the soup of the day and a perfectly cooked steak finished off with great puddings. Would certainly recommend a visit to enjoy great service and food we will certainly be going back.

The Chequers is back to its best. The food and service were top class.

Had a meal inside on a day where it wasn't possible to eat outside . Felt safe - COVID protocol in place

Good table service- adequate meal well cooked and presented

I took my family to this lovely pub to celebrate my son's birthday. We sat under the awning outside and had a superb lunch in a great location. The meat and veggie based food was cooked to perfection. The portions were right. We had steak, duck, chicken and a veggie burger. The staff were friendly and attentive without disturbing. We will definitely go back.

Great service from all the staff. Reasonable choice of menu options with something for most tastes. Decent beer choice too!

Good service and excellent food, i had the fish of the day which was Hake and it was delicious. Will come again :)

Back to its best. We used to have the gastro pub on our regular go to place. But it then dropped as standards slipped down our favourites. Pleased to say things have changed and the Chequers is back.

Eating outside under big sail covers but they have done as much as they can to make you comfortable with cushions and blankets.
Staff were excellent and food was very good.

Fantastic roast and brilliant service, could have been warmer lol

A really beautiful pub on a glorious day. Our server was really friendly and recommended the specials which we ended up ordering. Only thing was because it was a little busy the mains did take a rather long time to arrive. But it was the first weekend back after lockdown so it was to be expected. Flat bread to hummus ratio was a little low and the cauli cheese was a bit of a flop, but Hallumi fries and roast mains were outstanding. All covid hygienic procedures were in place and much appreciated. Thumbs up :)

Great food, great service and great value.

Lovely new outside canapy; chilly as heaters had not arrived.
First coffee luke warm and no suggestion of another one to replace it when we let them know.
Food delicious as always.

Food was really poor. Potatoes hard a tasteless vegan burger which was so Small that It was more bread bun then anything else.
Service was also really slow. The only thing that was good was the level of service from the front of house.

Lovely food, service and surroundings!
Huge portions for the Sunday roast. Had taken great measures to ensure safety in COVID times (screens, masks, one way screens, multiple hand sanitisation points).

Was first time visiting but will definitely be back.

Nice country pub feel. Nice staff. Great food. Daily specials.

Very nice atmosphere; staff very attentive & food lovely.

Definitely coming back!!

Good food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be going back

A very warm welcome to a very nice space, we sat near the fire and served in no time. Food and drink was very high quality, the menu was really enticing and good value. I will definitely be back for a large evening meal

Had the Steak and Ale pie which was really lovely but alittle on the salty side but it still didnt stop me polishing it off:)
It was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very attentive.

Great venue. COVID secure. Fantastic food that is locally sourced where possible.

Great pub with friendly helpful staff doing the best they can given the covid restrictions

Great. Thank you

A fantastic meal! Friendly staff and really tasty food (very generous portions too!)

The vegan Wellington was undercooked with virtually raw pastry. Flat Iron chicken excellent.

Food was nicely cooked. Menu a bit overpriced. Staff welcoming but not that organised. Waiting staff making errors and a bit forgetful.

Mixed review. One starter delicious, other bland. One main overpriced but reasonably tastey, the other "wierd" combination of hot and cold. No dessert. Wine overpriced at £9+/glass without being previously advised. Value questionable. Offered feedback and very gracious response and offer for free return which was appreciated.

Great food, great restaurant and the staff were great with our kids and very accommodating!

Just all round good

My impression of this pub was 'bang average'
The waitress wasn't particularly engaging and was disinterested at best. I booked on a Sunday, where I ordered the highly anticipated 'wellington' only to be told it wasn't on the menu. (once all the other food was served to the table) The 'cauliflower cheese' was a dish of cauliflower with cheese sprinkled over it and grilled, and the 'jugs of gravy' didn't exist (much to the annoyance of the children).
It's certainly not a must go again experience!!!

It was nice, slightly overpriced but would go back again
