    Service was slow, waiters inattentive, was difficult to get their attention and we waited over 30 minutes to order. Food was OK.

    Having budgetted for 2 3 course meals at the set price, I was disappointed to find that this was not available unless the ' menu du Jour' was the day's menu. However the food was excellent and the staff friendly and welcoming so a good experience all round. Next time I will phone before booking to check if the set price menu will be available. But we will certainly visit again and can absolutely recommend The Chequers.

    We ate here as a family of 6 on a Wednesday evening so knew it would be fairly quiet this time of year and just after valentines night but it didn't spoil our experience Table was beautifully laid with a lit candle too. Menu was interesting and plentiful food served with a lot of care. We all enjoyed our meals. It was served in a friendly efficient manner. Certainly one we will return to.

    There was four of us & we all enjoyed our three course set Valentine meal. The choice was good & we all enjoyed what we opted for including venison suet pudding, steaks & a duck leg. In fact the venison suet pudding was such a large portion that a dessert could not be eaten by the member of our party who choose this option! Waitress was very nice putting us by a fire as it was a cold day & was quite chatty & friendly We all enjoyed our meal at The Chequers & would definately come again
