   We really enjoyed our meal at the Chequers. The staff were really lovely. Cannot fault them in any way. The ambience was great. Busy but not loud. The food was, on the whole, really nice. The adults not wanting to eat too much were welcome to choose from the kids menu. The kids fish and chips were particularly good. The ciabatta with the prawns was a bit too toasted for my parents. They couldn’t cut it as it was too crispy. They wished they’d had the kids meals as they were amazing. Two out of the four burgers ordered were fantastic, the other two not quite so great. I would definitely visit again. Best place I’ve been to eat with the whole family in a long time. There were 10 of us so they did well to get all the food out at the same time! Thank you!

   A beautiful lunch, every course was extremely enjoyable . My father in law reckoned the steak and ale pie the best he’d had in years. My lentil and squash warm salad with fillet was to die for. This is our third visit and certainly won’t be the last.

   Food was excellent. We ordered from the Christmas menu, the steak medallions with peppercorn sauce and chips, and the harissa spiced chickpeas with winter vegetables. Both mains were excellent. The restaurant staff were friendly and service was excellent. Would recommend!

    We all had the roast dinner, with different people choosing pork, beef and gammon. Mostly it was delicious but the crackling was awful and I am sure it didn’t come from the same supplier as the pork. It was more like insulation material than crackling - tasteless, tough not crunchy, not salted, and with no scoring or layer of fat. The crumble was not great either, really watery at the bottom of the bowl. We then had a problem with the bill, as apparently the person serving us had forgotten to use the right codes. Mistakes happen but it’s all about how things are handled. No-one was the least bit interested in the problems with the crackling and although they corrected the bill there was no apology. Overall it could be great if the front of house team were better trained.
