    Wonderful cosy place with a roaring fire. Greeted by friendly and helpful staff who looked after us the whole evening. The food was beautifully presented and of a very high quality. We were a party of six and will all be returning.

    I have had many good meals at the Chequers, but this was not one. Rabbit terrine starter was flavourless, ended having burger for main out of desperation. Other choices were all game based which didn’t work with starter. Only so. Other diners and staff started closing up at 21:20. Had a cheese board for dessert, but the only port available was white, then ordered brandy and was served plum brandy! Staff were very young, untrained and unsupervised, they didn’t even know the difference between ale and lager! On a positive both server’s were very polite and the mussel starter was excellent.
