    Having visited before we decided to come again bringing our Son & Daughter-in-law for a treat. Had not been on a Sunday before and so hadn't tried the carvery. We all opted for this and it was excellent. Plenty of everything and all beautifully cooked and presented. Just about had room for dessert. We all enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the pub and will visit again.

    We were sat in a family area which was quiet due to the day and time of year. It was quite chilly for some due to a draft coming through the conservatory doors. We had great service , the food was up to the Checquers usual good standard with mostly empty plates returned to the kitchen. We were celebrating a birthday, everyone had an enjoyable evening and we will be returning 😊

    Cannot fault the carvery, amazing as ever. Choice of pork, turkey, ham or beef, or a bit of all. Best cauliflower and broccoli cheese, lots of veg, roasts, Yorkshire pudding. Great value large plate plus desert £20 per person. Great table in a cosy corner. Staff very polite and helpful. Only issue white wine recommended was not nice at all, had to load with ice and lemonade.

    Most had the carvery. One had Hunters Chicken. All enjoyed good quality food. All were too full for deserts. Very nice experience but a little noisy as other people's conversations carried and echoed.
