"We were really looking forward to a Sunday roast lunch at the Chequers Inn and upon arrival we were quickly seated at our table, which was lovely and cosy. We were asked what drinks we would like, and asked for a wine list, to be told they had red, white, or rose. After asking what wines they had, we opted for a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, as they only had a Merlot or Pinot Noir available as red wine. After a short while our waiter returned to say that they did not have a full bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, so we changed our order. (Having subsequently found their wine menu on line I guess they had also run out of Malbec, Rioja and Shiraz, which is why I had to opt for the Pinot Noir from Romania). After a long wait our drinks of one glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, one glass of Pinot Noir, two large glasses of lime and soda and one small glass of lime and soda were served and we placed our lunch order, having been told there were no burger buns not a problem as all five of us wanted a roast lunch. For starters we ordered a ‘selection of warm bread with butter, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and tapenade’ and deep fried whitebait. After a very long wait the ‘selection’ of bread arrived. This consisted of a sliced overcooked baguette, with the tiniest drizzle of balsamic vinegar at the bottom of the olive oil and the tapenade had been replaced with finely chopped tomatoes and onions. The exceedingly overdone whitebait turned up after a further long wait. Then one of the roast beef main course turned up, which looked lovely, followed by the roast belly of pork with hardly any gravy so we had to order additional gravy (at a cost of £1 for a very, very tiny pot). The two roast turkey dinners and children’s portion of roast beef turned up after about a further 5 minute wait. The additional gravy followed 5 minutes after that. Despite numerous front of house staff walking past our table it was exceedingly difficult to attract anyone’s attention to ask for more drinks. Whilst we were eating our main course we could overhear the front of house staff laughingly updating each other with what was not available on the menu. Whilst we were waiting to place our dessert order another family came in, but on being told the lengthy list of items which were not available on the menu, they got up and left. When it came to dessert our granddaughter wanted sticky toffee pudding. We were told they had the pudding but no sauce. We asked for floater coffees and were initially told they did not have the cream for floater coffees. We were subsequently told they had the cream, so order a decaf Tia Maria coffee, a normal floater coffee and a rum floater coffee, and another lime and soda. After an exceedingly long wait, (we thought they had forgotten the order), our floater coffees turned up but not what we ordered. The decaf Tia Maria coffee was caffeinated coffee, when we were told this we asked for a replacement and were told they had no more Tia Maria. Great shame as this is a lovely venue, but we will not be coming back, or recommending it to anyone as the service is so slow and the selection of what is available is not what is advertised."

A regular Sunday lunch haunt for us. Love the pub and the staff, but I have to say that the food has gone downhill recently. The portion size has drastically reduced and it seems to be more about style over substance now. Such a shame.

Overall disappointed food was bang average. Staff were really over worked, I sense they did their best but was too few waiters for the volume of customers. The worst burger I have probably ever had in a pub and I’ve had a few… don’t order. Pizzas look poor and at £15 a meal you wanted better cooked food. Good location and drinks were as you’d expected but management of the pub and cooking of the food was no more than two stars.

I’ve been here a few times to eat. The last time I had a Sunday lunch it was better than most pub lunches. Today I was very disappointed. The portions were much smaller, especially the cauliflower cheese. The dinner presentation was not like traditional pub roasts, but stacked in a chefie sort of way and topped with pea shoots not needed on a roast dinner. The roast beef cost £4 more than the other roasts, but was rationed to two tiny slices. The vegetables were nicely cooked and the Yorkshire pudding was different to any I have had before, but quite nice. In all a disappointing meal today, nowhere near as good as it used to be.

I hadn't been to this restaurant since it reopened, so I thought we would give it a try. I wish we had read reviews beforehand because we would have gone elsewhere. The menu was different from the one online, and the items we wanted were not available. They had run out of certain foods, even though it was only 7pm. When we complained, we were told that the food had to be spread over three pubs. We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for our starter, which was garlic bread. We asked for it three times. When it finally arrived, it was cold and had no garlic. We decided to leave. It's a shame because we had a great time there a few years ago. We will not be returning.

We popped in here for lunch with our two children. We ordered some ‘artisan’ bread to start. This was simply a sliced up part baked baguette and a bowl of olive oil with the tinniest drizzle of balsamic vinegar at the bottom! I ordered the sausages on the special menu with hand cut chips (as suggested by the waiter but, when our food eventually arrived after an hour and 45 minute wait, I had mash instead. I questioned this but was told that they had run out of hand cut chips. We had already been informed that they had run out of chicken and this was at 12.30pm on a Saturday! The fish and chips both had chips though (which incidentally were also supposed to be hand cut! . We waited so long fo...

After reading some mixed reviews, we decided to give this restaurant a try. Overall, it was okay. We ordered three bangers and mash meals, a Margherita pizza, some chips, and a round of drinks, which came to a total of £80. The portion sizes were on the smaller side, but the food tasted decent. The sausages weren't anything special in terms of quality or flavor, but the mash was smooth. The vegetables were crispy and undercooked, which I personally liked. The gravy was nice. The Margherita pizza was average with a thin base and was not very inspiring. The prices, however, were quite high - £16 for bangers and mash was too much for the portion size, and the £12 pizza was also overpriced. Even... Speisekarte ansehen

Having visited the Chequers around 2 years ago, I decided to return for my Birthday meal and How disappointed I/we were. Arrived on time at 13:00 having booked a table already, and were seated around 5 minutes later. No one came to take our order and 1/2 hr passed before we managed to get site of a waitress to take our order. We then waited a further 1 hour before our meal finally arrived. That was after mentioning twice to the manager and a waitress that we had not yet received our meal. Interestingly a couple who sat adjacent to us and arrived at around the same time were served there meal within 1/2 hr. The manager seem to indicate that they attend the large tables of 6 or more and gravit...

On our second visit a week later, I found out that most of the lagers were off due to a delivery delay. We were able to choose and rearrange our table, and we even brought our dog with us. I waited 10 minutes for a beer as they were changing the barrel of Peroni. When we ordered food, we were told they had run out of halloumi. I quickly asked for another pint, knowing it would take a while to pour. I was given the last pint of Peroni as they had just changed the barrel and it was also empty. The food came out, and my partner's roast did not have Yorkshire pudding, which was promptly brought out when requested. I found my two small pieces of beef to be overcooked. My partner asked for another...
