Great meal. Very accommodating for my 102 year grandmother. Brooke was a particularly great hostess. My only gripe is that they can’t accept tips via the card machine. We had cash but the staff must be loosing out on a lot of tips. Great experience all round.

Limited choice for vegetarian. Unable to eat burger as smothered in relish despite request to leave out. Chunky chips not chunky. Some dishes not brought out (side salad, dessert, had to be asked for) and general quality of meals not to previous standard. However staff apologetic and did not charge for burger meal and gave complimentary coffees. Just disappointing as husbands birthday and he could not eat his meal.

Very pleasant birthday lunch at the Chequers. Be prepared for a menu biased towards game, eg pigeon, rabbit, venison, pheasant. I found the choice a bit limiting as I'm not a game fan (especially the starters) and if I'd known in advance, we might not have gone. However, my husband loved his venison so that was good. Desserts were fine; I had orange and cranberry meringue pie but I like my meringue with a crispy shell, this was completely soft. All in all, very nice but not overwhelming. We were very impressed with service from Daniel, who seemed to be running it single handed!

had a lovely meal, the food was served lovely and hot and was displayed very nicely on the plate, he gravy came in a jug to allow you add what you wanted. Being a Wednesday it was a quiet evening and the pub wa quiet. The waitress service was very good. A complete contrast to the meal we had a few weeks ago.
