Chequers in Central Bedfordshire

There seems to be a big problem with their drains ! The smell in there was horrendous ! The toilets were worse .A very tired pub,tape holding down carpet and holes in the floor.Absolutely awful ! Won't be going back there in a hurry !

The staff were very haphazard, food came out either over cooked or under cooked, the fish and chips were awful and had a stodgy texture and horrible taste, a lot of food wasted because wasn't edible, half the food on the menu wasn't available and staff were putting things on plates because they didn't have what we had ordered, took over 30 minutes to get served at the bar, overall not the best service or food, as I'd organised the night for my mum's 70th I was embarrassed and very upset and has put me off in the future, I have arranged a 50th Anniversary few years ago at the chequers in Houghton Regis that was made special which is why I chose the same place again what a big mistake.

Friendly service as always. Great atmosphere. Always greeted with a smile off Ange the friendly barmaid. I hiighly recommend The Chequers, great for a night out.

Great service as usual, thank u Ange, diamond an co, the guys behind the bar are lovely an friendly, jolly an chatty, Ange always makes time for us an is generally very nice

Very nice food and service, Tamar was very attentive and helpful. We had the chicken sandwich super special and it was excellent!

Great food and great service by Adam. Friendly and respectful to everyone. Will come again. Great all round service. Thank you

Very good service Tamar shows a lot of interest with customers and likes to engage with them would highly recommend the place 5 stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this chequers pub. Wonderful staff. Ange is so lovely. Takes care of us whenever we're there. With a family of 7 she's got the patience of Saint.

Once again we had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Chequers. Its totally accessible to people with disabilities and Greene King have an app that makes ordering from the table easy for those with disabilities. All the staff are lovely. Ange is such a sweet lady and so helpful as are all the staff on a Sunday lunch time. I have also been in the week and they have great deals on the menu. It's very reasonably priced and the quality of the food is very good. Also very substantial and value for money.

Great food, good service special thanks to Ange ! She was very nice and careful with us. I would go back and bring friends .

Came here for lunch with family. Lovely food and Tamar was a great host. Would recommend this pub. Looking forward to coming back!

We are regulars every Wednesday. Thank you Ange for making us so welcome this evening. We will shall be back next week. Thanks

Fabulous night with the Long Riders Band from Houghton Regis. This time the main reason we came was to see the band. Attentive, friendly and hard working staff. Great table for dinner so we could also enjoy the music whilst having our dinner and join them later outside. I understand that it was a very successful charity event as well.

Wonderful experience with the staff absolutely stupendous confectionery my sister had complaints but she has no job and less girls so she’s needs to shut her trap

Good experience, Tamar was a good host, polite and well mannered, lovely food and was cooked to personal preference. Would recommend

Fish awful looked like cheap packet frozen fish. Burger was suppose to be served without sauce smothered with mayo and barbecue sauce plus under cooked . The only good thing was the chips . Defo won’t be going again

We went for breakfast midmorning the place was empty and cold. We ordered two large breakfast and coffees. The bacon had small specs of burnt food of the hot plate mushrooms were cold like the beans and sausages were very fatty and tasteless.

Disgusting smelt like sewage all the way through the restaurant and still willing to serve you food. I booked over the phone and wasn't told of the problem.. walked way with 7 hungry people including children...

Had a great time, the food was good and there was a great variety of drinks to try. Very friendly atmosphere, great way to unwind on a Friday night.

The food is always so good here and at such reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and helpful making the whole experience very enjoyable. And no washing up for mum!

The service was fantastic. Ange looked after us so very well and even found my favorite prosecco for me, and bought it to the table wine cooler in hand. Food was exceptional as usual and we look forward to our next visit. P. S. Thank you Ange for being so patient with all of thr tsco vouchers. Picture is the kids not us . X

Sunday roast was terrible whe could not cut the beef for love or money. We sent it back and was refunded no problem I dont think we were the first that day.

It was very nice to come here. Staff are ever so kind 😇. Very good burgers 🍔 😋 👌 👏 👍🏻. I have left a 5 star review because I like it here.

Worst staff ever. No manners and was even denied a glass of tap water. Complained to HH CEO. The staff here are ruining his companies reputsion.

Friendly and professional service received from Akosua (waitress) - thanks to her for making our time there a splendid one. First time at Chequers/Hungry Horse and really enjoyed the meal and remarkable service so will always visit there again, again, and again 🥂 👏 👍👍

Was aware of new management. So was expecting better things. Unfortunately that's not the case. Toilets are so dirty, and stink, that you smell them out in the hallway. Food came out lukewarm at best. Had to send back to reheat 3 out of the 4 dishes. One of them was a hot plate sizzling chicken. You could handle the hot plate!!! What's going on guys? The food itself was decent enough once sorted. Such a shame

The food is always so good here and at such reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and helpful making the whole experience very enjoyable. And no washing up for mum!

After a long break from here due to hubby’s illness it was great to come back and have a great meal. The staff are as friendly and welcoming as before with the atmosphere still warm. The nachos grande continue to be excellent with the perfect combination of toppings. No dry crisps left at the end. The chicken wings were crispy yet moist and although we can’t eat all three baskets anymore the boys will enjoy them later. Thank you for the cheerful reception and chat with your helpful staff.

Lovely service and food was lovely too I would recommend this location. Clean, friendly, and pleasant atmosphere. 9th birthday celebration Thank you

Good family meal great service all the food came out fast it was lovely l and great atmosphere thank u

This place absolutely stank of urine right through to the main restaurant! I was told at first they had no cleaners then I was told it was a drainage problem. So glad I wasn’t eating here it was nauseous to say the least.

A big thank you to: Ange Joe Anne Harry for all the hard work to make todays Armed Forces Veterans Breckfast Club meeting this morning a very enjoyable event for the 33 members attending. Good Service and great food Thank you all very much See you all next month
