Checketts in Wychavon

Such a lovely place, fantastic food and a lovely view of the church

Just don't bother. As they don't allow bookings, coming here for brunch (or lunch or a coffe) is a waste of time. All tables full of Ombersley 'yummy mummys' and their brood. You won't get a table and staff couldn't care less. They seemingly don't need or want my custom so I won't bother again.

Great setting & atmosphere, staff very friendly, but please don’t have the pancakes!!! I chose the pancakes as I thought for £10 they would be presented in a stack with fruit etc but literally it was 3 cold pancakes thrown on a plate with about 10 blueberries & yogurt very disappointing I’ve had French toast in London which you would expect to pay more for but yet I paid less and the presentation and taste was everything. I would advise having a cooked breakfast as this looks fantastic and good value for money.

I like this place because it provides the food I like and is dog friendly. There is outside seating when the weather is good. Although there is a butchers at the other end of the building vegans and vegetarians are very well catered for, There are good cheese and deli items for sale and all sorts of treats. My partner and I enjoy the vegan mezze platter. My partner who is very keen on his coffee says the coffee he drinks here is excellent. There was no problem with ordering a decaf oat milk latte. I enjoyed my wine from a local vineyard. This place caters well for all tastes. The environment is comfortable and the service efficient. We shall be back because we like it here.

My first visit. Loved it from the moment I walked through the door. Friendly staff, lots of different seating areas, interesting surroundings and good food and coffee. I'LL BE BACK!

Had a great breakfast, only negative and it’s really minor is I would have liked 2 pieces of sour dough toast 🤣 otherwise fantastic

Very friendly. Lovely tea and cake.

Very quaint and character deli / restaurant. The butcher side of the store didn't seem to be operating when visited.

Had brunch of scrambled eggs on sough dough bread and coffee. Never thought I would rave about scrambled egg but this brunch was absolutely delicious. Coffee was really good too. Staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly

Lovely service and lovely food! So glad we managed to get a table on NYE. Even though it was busy and it looked like the restaurant was full, we didn’t have to wait long for our food. The waitress kept us updated and was really friendly, genuinely seemed to care that we enjoyed it which you don’t get at most places. Bonus points for fresh avocado which is hard to come by in other places we’ve been recently. Will be going again for sure!

Have been recommended to try this place many times but just hadn’t got round to it. We had a large group for a family members birthday breakfast meet up and from the moment we called to reserve to the moment we left the team were fab. Accommodating to accept the reservation and a warm welcome on arrival and thoughtful positioning of the table as they knew we had children with us to make sure we had plenty of space. The restaurant is cosy with a view into the kitchen, which I always appreciate as its shows they are proud of what happens behind the kitchen door as well as infront. The food was lovely, party of 9 so always tricky to get everything out warm and at the same time but they managed it. Everyone really enjoyed the food and atmosphere and will definitely come back. Thank you

The worst service EVER!!! Second visit as bad as the first. Staff would rather stand polishing bottles than serve the customers. Twice we waited over half an hour just to be acknowledged, to be told no coke, diet coke or pizza. Gave up and went home.

Diabolical service. Really disappointed. 2 visits, both times waited over 20 minutes to be acknowledged. Second time today, again had to find someone to serve us then, no coke, diet or either, and only doing brunch. Needless to say, went to the Kings Arms and got exactly what we wanted.

Lovely place to pop in for coffee and a chat

Great Shop and place to eat Dog friendly inside and outside Quick service Good menu Friendly staff Can get busy Free parking on road if you can find a space

We used the air bNb at Checketts, Beth was absolutely fantastic and the apartment was a real home from home, so clean, tidy and very welcoming. Dog friendly. The restaurant downstairs was just amazing we love it here and will be booking again for next Christmas. Thank you Beth and Team

I was meeting a friend for breakfast today, and she had recommended Checketts as she is local to Ombersley. I haven’t been to Checketts since it was a Deli, and it has since been changed into a lovely bespoke dining area with lots to look at in the terms of local produce and homeware. The food was delicious, with plenty of choice for veggies/ vegans, and the staff were very informative and friendly. My friend had brought her little dog with her, who was treated to a puppucino. All in all, a very pleasant experience - I shall he returning!

Impromptu late lunch here last week after being recommended by my parents who pop in here whenever passing through the village. What a fabulous, quirky place! Food was spot on, I had the chicken Kiev pizza cooked in a real pizza oven! My partner the tandoori skewers and both meals were stunning! The food being served to other tables all looked delicious and can’t wait to go back to try more. Excellent service from cheerful and attentive staff. We found some treats to take home with us and I bought my secret Santa gift! Winner!

Visited because I wanted to see what it was like after the refit and have visited The Elms Hotel which is part of the same collection, The Elms is a lovely hotel so had high hopes for this place. Easy to park at the side of the place. It's very quirky inside with different rooms of various sizes off the main room. There's loads of items on the sides of the place, it's not that clear if these are for sale or just for show. Coffee is expensive at £4 and it's not particularly a large cup in comparison to lots of other places. The place was absolutely freezing, it appears that all the money was spent on the refit but they ran out of money for heaters. One strange thing I found was that because it's small little rooms set off the main room, if there's already a table of people in one of the rooms, it makes you feel slightly awkward walking in on them and then to sit on a neighbouring table. It would have been better to have had one large room I think. Didn't eat because I was too cold to stay around any longer. They really need to get the heating fixed, it wasn't a particularly cold day either. Such a shame because it's quirky and looks good on the surface but I won't visit again I'm afraid.

I drive past Checketts everyday on my way to work but have never stopped in before today. With the cold weather I thought I’d grab a hot cup of coffee and a Sausage and bacon bap to take to work with me. The staff were excellent and the actual restaurant was clean and very well presented. Special thanks to Milly for offering me a extra sausage for my dog! I got back to my truck and started eating… I could have wept. Everything about it was amazing even the sauce! For the price, I was very impressed and I can’t wait to go back! Long live Checketts!

Love it here - we go away every time and recommend to friends a family. Food always great. Tried the wine today, recommended by a very enthusiastic female member of staff and went away with a bottle. Keep up the hard work!

Best brunch in Worcestershire if not the Midlands. We really love the coffee, menu is good for gluten-free (Skillet eggs my new fave) and staff are funny and genuinely care. A rare jewel in Ombersley

This the 2nd time I have tried to eat at this cafe, the first time I was turned away as finished orders at 6.30, arrived tonight at 6.10 for a takeaway pizza no-one at the counter had to find someone, by this time it was...

Poor service, totally pretentious decor and after the longest wait, the most disgusting excuse for a pizza. I'd recommend you travel up the 449 to a lay bye, far better service/ food, that is unless you're one of the absurdly pretentious idiots who cannot differentiate between quality and frequents such places.

If you like good service, quality food and good value, avoid this place like the plague! If you ever want to see true pretention and tastelessness this is the place to go. Appalling service, after waiting for an hour the worst so called pizza I...

As always, the food is very good and well presented, definitely worth a visit once in a while and dog friendly.

Never been and now two weeks on the trot. Quite lovely. Good food, great service and excellent coffee. I’ve only ever heard good things and it really is worth a visit. I hope to make it a regular thing. Well done all x

Superb coffee which I really rate for quality and taste. Makes me return for coffee alone. The homemade pizzas are also very nice in great surroundings.

A mixed experience: very good food & non-alcohol drinks, good service, abysmal inside for wheelchair users due to steps, obstructions & lack of turning space, however tables outside suffice in good weather!

Great food, fab vive, good price and good service

Wow what a place! Haven't been since before lockdown and since then, it's changed hands and had a major makeover! Quirky, cosy and cool, this is a cafe with a difference for sure. Home made bakes, unique homeware and alcohols for sale in addition to great coffee and food. The toilets are beautiful and clean, the service is excellent. My dad bought a pork pie from the adjoining butchers to eat in the shop and popped it on a plate with mustard and garnish; that is going the extra mile in my opinion. Lots of tables inside compared to before and also outside. Free parking, and a village shop next door for any essentials. Well done guys!

Staff are unhelpful and don’t care about anything! Doesn’t deserve to do well, food average.

We popped in for a snack on a miserable November day at about 4 pm. The café is dog friendly and that was why we came. I had a samosa which was fine and my partner had a baguette which he liked. I enjoyed a...

We ordered 4 different, delicious tasting pizza for our table. They were some of best pizzas eaten in UK! It's a favourite spot to bring out of town visitors to show off what gems we have in our beautiful countryside

Service and food was great … lovely feel to the place. Checketts is really well located and Ombersley is a lovely village.

We visited Checketts for the wine and steak night. It was a wonderful evening - the food was really well done and delicious. Wines done by Halfpenny Estate, all English wine which were surprisingly good! Staff were brilliant, very friendly and couldn’t do enough for...

I went here with 2 friends for lunch. One of my friends has Parkinsons so had special dietary requirements. We were treated incredibly kindly by all the staff who went above and beyond to create a very pleasurable afternoon out for us. The location and...

My Dad comes here few times a week, he loves it, he can be a pain, but the staff are fabulous and look after him, we as a family have been there a lot over the past month due to family bereavement. The staff have been fantastic made us laugh, thankyou so much food and drinks amazing.

Friday night dinner for 5 was fabulous. Catered for kids, you’re adults and those with allergies. Their gluten free menu is extensive. Food was delicious and wait staff were pleasant and friendly. We enjoy pizzas, salmon bowl, ploughman’s and garlic prawns. The truffle and Parmesan...

A lot of changes and definitely for the worse. Over priced and poor service. What has happened?? Go back to old setup - quality and service

Came for a Saturday night pizza takeaway. Best pizza we have had in a long time, staff are lovely. Picked up a few little grocery items while we waited. Lovely little place and will be returning very soon.

I was really looking forward to a personal treat by ordering a bacon and sausage bap. The reality was a big disappointment. The bacon was lovely, the bap was fresh, the substantial looking sausage was awful, merely lightly browned on the top surface and completely...

We visited late afternoon and ordered a latte and a diet coke. I was shocked as they rung up the price on the till. I was charged £3 for a 330ml bottle of diet coke. That is the same as a can. That is a...

We booked for 11 people for a post wedding brunch (5 mins from our wedding venue) today 7/10 at 10.30. At no notice we added an extra 3 people. Checketts staff were very welcoming and extremely amenable to adding the extra people. Service was excellent...

Went for the first time today and what a little gem! The surroundings were cool rustic, the service (from Lila) was wonderful, and the food was simply sublime. Whoever is in the kitchen really knows how to cook. The chicken was tender, juicy and perfectly...

Disappointed...I waited 1hour ...and still never got served...yes they we're busy ...but communication would of been appreciated...I confronted them...they said we will come and get my order...inwich never returned after a hour...so I left...😒

Delicious food! Seating is limited but worth the wait.

The best breakfast in the midlands fact, best sausage I’ve ever tasted, excellent service, a little pricey but if you want quality you have to pay

Just been there for afternoon lunch , food was really good . Burgers r amazing and the chicken caesar salad was lovely . Service was great and the girl was very friendly and customer service was spot on , definitely recommend

Excellent service, delicious cake and coffee, the surroundings interesting and comfortable.

normally the food is ok mid week, but be warned if you plan a Sunday lunch they can only offer baguettes or poached eggs with salmon or ham no pizzas so not a good choice for families with kids, I feel they cannot get a...

Enjoyed my meal and time here. Relaxed atmosphere and love the decor!

Fabulous cafe & bistro with amazing butchers shop attached. Service is very good so are the pizzas! One of my favourite places for coffee, breakfast, lunch.

We travel for 40 minutes to come here just for their food and the atmosphere. Beautiful breakfasts - would highly recommend the chilli avocado and eggs and the iced salted caramel latte. Prices are reasonable for the beautiful little town. Always friendly and quick service. Beautiful gifts are available to buy too so it's a nice place to have a wonder round once you've eaten. We love it here.

Pop in here for breakfast occasionally. You pay a little bit more, but the food is always good with good quality ingredients. Service has always been good. Really nice coffee also.

The service here is incredible! We were served by the energetic and lovely Laura who suggested excellent choices from the menu, listened to our stories and even pretended to laugh at awful jokes! She served us quickly and with a smile that brightened all of...

An amazing place full of delightful products and incredible staff. Laura was especially helpful and is a true asset to Checketts !! Thank you Laura !!

Fab place for food and a coffee with friends. Helpful and friendly staff.

We were wanting a brief escape from the chores and made our way to Checkettes to relieve the boredom. We took Lily the dog and expected to sit outside but Lily was welcome inside and we sat and enjoyed some treats. Lily had a dog...

Great lunch with friends. My favourite place for coffee and cakes

A superb cafe/Bistro with a butchers next door supply home made fare. Great food and coffee with interesting surroundings.

Hi class prices for average coffee.

Wow, wow, wow. What a stunning place. Great menu, great setting inside and out and top service. Will become a regular spot for us. Dog friendly. The pizzas even arrive with their own pizza cutters 😃

Excellent all round, thoroughly recommend. Lots of different food tastes/requirements catered for.

Good breakfast ingredients first class a must visit 😊👍

Fabulous family lunch for 6 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs!! Laura was really helpful finding is a wonderful space big enough for us all to sit together. Delicious!!

Really like the shop as it states fine food , it is. Freshly prepared food available to eat outside or inside.If you are in the area it's really worth popping in.

Best coffee around. Great selection of cakes/treats. Kids love the pizza’s a lot! Amazing service and staff always friendly and smiling. The dog loves the treats she gets too!

Called in for sausage and bacon rolls, with coffees, really friendly service in a fantastic establishment, the quality of the food was excellent.

100% great ace for coffee and a bacon bap well worth a visit

The food and service are top quality.

We all make mistakes, its what you do when it’s pointed out. One of our party had a grey hair embedded in her meal. When pointed out, no remedy was offered. Will not return.

Unique and rustic atmosphere, amazing food, great service. Cannot recommend enough 😋

Great shop, meat selection and quality

Lovely polite girls serving. Can sit inside or out. Didn't eat but the food certainly looked appetising.

A wonderful experience from start to finish. Super friendly staff who advised on Gluten Free options with confidence. The GF pizza is outstanding. Beautiful decor, and can't wait to go back.

Wonderful experience in every way including very friendly staff. A real gem of a place in a lovely small village

Ordered a couple of pizzas to takeaway, they are without question the best pizzas for miles around. Authentic wood fired pizzas with amazing toppings

Been twice now and really enjoyed the food. Lovely place to sit in the sun.

Great choice of high quality brunch and drinks .lovely delicatessen and friendly service.

A gorgeous place for a breakfast stop, including gluten free options. The berries overnight oats almost looked too good to eat. Great interiors and even greater coffee, would highly recommend.

Brilliant brunch and amazing stone baked pizzas! Always worth a visit.

Lovely breakfast we always go here. They now have a vegan menu too. Friendly staff. Good quality food.

Really good food and nice place to sit and eat - service a bit chaotic and very slow so be warned !

6 of us had a great brunch last Monday. Food tested great, very high quality, and lovely coffee. We were well looked after by the staff who were friendly and attentive. We would be regular customers if we live nearby!

A fab place for delicious brunch with friends. A treat of a find! Lovely staff and delicious food.

First visit today based on FB posts & recommendations. First table we sat at hadn't been wiped clean so we moved elsewhere. The couple next to us said they'd been waiting 25 minutes for someone to take their order & the lady was fuming. We...

We’ve been to Checketts numerous times over the past month and it is truly a hidden gem! Customer service is always on point, and the food is equally fantastic. Would 100% recommend their breakfast, and pizza!

How has E.H.O. not picked up on the fact there is no wash basin in the cafe. The staff have to rush off to the kitchen to use the sink in there. Also no working light in the public toilets. Been like this for over...

Great food lovely atmosphere Service from Laura J was superb really friendly and professional Delicious pizza

Wonderful food, superb coffee, great atmosphere and really friendly staff (Laura). I would highly recommend and this will become a regular breakfast venue for us.

Amazing breakfast, beautiful cafe overlooking the village church. Friendly staff, (our server Laura J was lovely!) outstanding food & great shop! Would thoroughly recommend a visit :)

Dreadful, don’t bother. The once fabulous Checketts has died, leaving what can only be described as a grotty cafe which is seriously over priced with hardly any staff.

Had an excellent service at Checketts today. Good quality Ploughman’s lunch and Cappuccinos. Lovely products in store which you can purchase to take home. A definite worthwhile visit. You won’t be disappointed !

Terrible service and no menus on table. When I asked where the order was the waitress said it had been thrown away it was not busy either. More staff training required.

What an amazing place, great decor, amazingly fresh food, great coffee and service. Deserves top marks.

This venue is a beautiful piece of Worcestershire history. Brunch is delicious

Excellent service from Laura with a charming smile. Food beautifully cooked and tasty Coffee excellent

Wow!! Came across this place when out and about. I will be going again lovely atmosphere really felt relaxed and the food was amazing 🤓👍
