We were pleased with a good range of gluten free options on the menu (slightly less so on the dessert menu.) The menu was quite wide ranging and fairly imaginative. Another vegetarian / vegan option would be nice but, overall, the choice was good. Presentation nice. You can always quibble over minor points as that comes down to individual taste and that will always be the case anywhere. We enjoyed our meal and the price was pretty fair. Yes, we would go back there again and, yes, we would recommend The Chequers to others. Not sure if the wine list includes any non alcoholic wines but that would be a nice option, particularly as non alcoholic drinks are in greater demand than every.

Welcoming and friendly staff. Extensive menu choice. Food arrived in good time. The Cumberland pin wheel and bubble and squeak cake was served with a delicious gravy. The haddock was very fresh and served with minted mushy peas and well cooked chips. Will definitely return to sample more dishes.

Great food, and we were well looked after by Brooke. Just a bit chilly - wish we’d asked to sit closer to the fire.

This is our second visit in recent months and again we were not disappointed. The quality of the food is excellent and great value for the money. This coupled with the attentive service we received made it a very enjoyable night.
