Chequers in Hart

Not overly impressed - daughters half sized roast was bigger than mine, was offered extra when everyone else was close to finishing. What we did have was good though

Food was ok but not deserving of gastro-pub. Could write more but with the attitude of the staff when a complaint was made, hardly seems worth the effort. Much much better in the previous years that we have had our Christmas lunch, so shocked that this seems to have been poor value for money. May be ok for a small group. Personally wouldn’t go there again and would definitely not pay the 10% service charge which incidentally is added to the bill.

Awful New Year’s Eve - told dj and music til 1 am. Nothing all night.... and charged us for the privilege!!! Paid our bill and not sure why! Feel ripped off! Not happy and never going there again.

Great food, great surroundings,very friendly staff and a good experience to be in a pub that has come a very long way this last year. With new staff and management, I would highly recommended it as we come here often and enjoy it each and every time. They have snacks at the bar and people ready to serve you drinks and food. In the restaurant it is normally full so I recommend to book.

We went here as a group of friends for a Christmas meal and the food was really tasty. Lots of veg also brought to the table for no extra cost which was nice as most places would charge for side dishes.

other customers also disappointed at the apparent disappearance of the Christmas Menu 2course £19.50, 3course £24.50 (web: "Christmas Menu served from 28th November until Christmas Eve"). Ur... no! The A la Carte was the ONLY option and we were told it was the same choices. But they avoided that the price in fact doubled. A big Christmas con. We took the ethical route and decided to spend only £20 each for larks - which mean just a main, no veg. Plenty of decent wine & desserts instead at home! If other pub restaurants in the area weren't fully booked, we'd have gone elsewhere because feeling conned is not what we'd hoped for on Christmas Eve. Extremely annoyed to have chosen the Chequers, to have not heeded their recent bad reviews (having eaten there a lot in recent years) and totally unimpressed that the management don't understand that if they advertise something, they are supposed to honour it. Not festive, not impressive and a con.

Just had the misfortune to share a Christmas Eve lunch at The Chequers with the family. I say Christmas lunch but they decided in their infinite wisdom that they wouldn’t honour the Christmas menu today; so the offer of 2 or 3 courses at a set fee was abandoned also. This is particularly poor as they had confirmed it was on offer when we booked & this was the reason we went ahead with the booking.

Booked Christmas Eve Lunch for family based on Xmas Menu Offer on website. (See pic as proof it existed!). Yet on arrival, they advised there is no Xmas Menu! We were forced to order from the standard a la carte menu on the pretence that it gave more choice. On the blackboard you could pick Turkey (no veg included, that would be extra). However, this meant one course now cost the same as two would have cost on the ‘fake’ xmas menu! Outrageous! A lucrative scam for the management isn’t it? How nice to actively fleece your customers at Xmas! (Not to mention illegal to falsely advertise). The food was average, too dry to finish. Complete disappointment for all of us. We had decided to eat out for our xmas meal this year (having recently lost our father) so wanted to change things for this first year. So this was an extra kick in the teeth, especially for our mother. We should definitely have eaten elsewhere but didn’t want to stress her further. So we stupidly stayed. The people on the next table sent their meal back. New arrivals were heard insisting on the Xmas Menu (having also been denied it, but pushing their rights). The staff were heard saying ‘what do we do? Another table are now insisting on the Xmas Menu & pricing’. The management need to be fined. They are a disgrace. Especially at Christmas. No shame! Never again.

We booked a table for 10 for midday, the pub was coming to life as we arrived. Nice and welcoming with friendly staff, one even welcomed us in the car park. Christmas hats for all in the restaurant and a roaring log burner.

Popped in here on the way back from reading for a late lunch. Lovely pub, friendly staff nice wine! Ordered a sharing board which was ok not bad but not great - needed a plum sauce with the duck bites and just generally lacking in taste.

We have visited here several times and always had an excellent time but today ( Wednesday lunchtime ) might make us rethink. We arrived and the restaurant was not busy but waited quite a while before being seated . We waited ages with nothing happening and eventually had to ask the surly waitress if we could order . No one asked us if we wanted drinks first so we asked the waiter to come to our table. He was pleasant and our drinks came but the waitress taking the food order didn’t smile or show any interest in us . The food was lovely but service plays a large part in thedin8n* experience . Sad to have to write this as in the past we have had very good service

Last time I visited here the meal and service was very good. Unfortunately not a good experience this time and similar to previous visits where the food and service is hit and miss. We did have a good main meal which was the pie. The rest was poor quality and disorganised / almost disinterested staff. Our starter was deducted from the bill but would rather have had it right from the start. Bar area was by contrast busy and good. Will give this place a miss next time.

Unfortunately we left it too late to get in anywhere else without prior booking. (Only midday but Yateley/Eversley pubs all booked out) My husband was happy as he wanted a roast dinner. I wanted 'smaller appetite' anything but they don't do that. I ended up with a starter which certainly was that. A 'tart' which was just a disc of pastry with a few mushrooms on it lol!

Had a family meal here on a busy Sunday. The service was outstanding, as was the food! Will definitely be back

I've been going to the chequers for years and chose this restaurant to celebrate an important event, the service was shocking, they had run out of quite a few things. I had the scallops which were very gritty.

This was another breakfast on the list to go back to. The service and food was excellent. Just try it as I have no negative comments, well done made points on our score sheet for this month

Our family of four went to Chequers for Sunday Lunch yesterday and it was exceptional. The service was fantastic and we were very well looked after. I had Pork and the best crackling ever, my husband and daughter had lamb cooked to perfection and our son had the Vegetarian Wellington - which looked and tasted amazing. With Gavi Di Gavi and white Rioja by the glass a perfect afternoon. We are always a bit wary of having Sunda Lunch out as it sometimes does not meet up to expectations but we will definitely be coming back ...... even if it Is just for the Yorkshire’s or Sticky toffee pudding.

Booked online for a table of two for an evening Sunday dinner. We both chose off the Sunday best menu. The beef and pork were both beautiful, as were the veg, potatoes and massive Yorkshire puddings! Service was very attentive and the ambience was nice. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for a nice evening!

Went today for Sunday roast. Can honestly say one of the best Sunday roasts I've had in a restaurant. Service from Hannah and Sunday was perfect and Tom made sure we were well looked after. Will definitely recommend and visit again!

We recently visited this restaurant while visiting friends over the weekend,and contrary to many other reviews were nothing but pleased.The food was good ,from app to entree and the portions were large as well.The service was great ,and very attentive.All I can say is we had a good expierience.

The most pretentious restaurant I’ve ever been too! Food is so overpriced for the sub standard meal you receive, meat is dry, portions are small and drinks so expensive!(£9.50 for a G&T;) the setting is just a standard pub, nothing worth paying the extra prices for and the staff.... well they don’t really seem like they want to be there and are just as pretentious as the menu, they don’t smile or check if you need more drinks and don’t apologise when they forget bits from your order. I paid £60 for my meal and for that price I received:

Already average to be honest. I had the rump steak (rare) it it looked very mainstream pub if I’m honest. I asked for sauce and that never came so yeah it’s a bang average meal. Drive past.

We visited today for a family celebration - drove a long way ! Really poor service and overpriced warm food and drinks - £7 plus for a glass of mediocre wine ! Waited ages in between courses - had to ask for a desert menu !! Small plate of green veg to go with roast dinner between 4 of us etc !! Asked for two bills for two families - nope it came as one long mixed bill !!

This was the first time we have visited outside of the "lobster feast season". Good selection on the Autumn menu, not large but good mix. Nice specials. I ordered "moules" from the special and trout starter (with gluten free bread). A nice Cotes Du Rhone. The "sparkling water" was "normal" and exchanged. Wine was really good. A rather long wait for startersThe "moules" were luke warm and replaced. Asking for an extra gluten bread, had to go and remind them of that. OK Service and production not great but the food was excellent, loved the creamy sauce with the mussels. Both of us had the lamb shanks, excellent, with a side of carrots (small but delicious). They did remove the cost of the "moules" but they need to get this service side sorted. Food yet again was excellent, staff were friendly but they need to improve.

Yet again the food was not checked before sending out, so the duck leg came without the cabbage and bacon. When we queried it there was no apology but eventually a dish of mixed greens arrived. My dish of meatballs was dry as was the tomato ragu, and the polenta was inedible.

Sharing fish starter at £15 was mean and a bit odd....brown crab on a 1/4 toasted crumpet. I would imagine the mark-up must be around 8X which feels a bit excessive! The side dishes arrived 15 minutes after the main course was had been served and the meal was underwhelming....chicken main course was a little dry (same for the people next to us) and the creamed spinach was pretty much "cream-less" and watery. In fairness, our bill was adjusted but I would much prefer a good experience.

We booked Sunday lunch for 12 several months previously in the Well which I was lead to believe was solely for our family use. Please note that there are 3 other tables in this area which may be used by guests other than those in your group and indeed they were. I felt sorry for them as our toddlers became more fractious during the wait for the meal itself. This, by the way took nearly 50 minutes to be served which is totally unacceptable even for an adult only party.

Really bad service, elements of food missing from meals.

Good service, friendly atmosphere. Always enjoy a meal at The Chequers.Seasonal food makes the the dining out more interesting and enjoyable.

We went last night to try the new tasting menu. I have been a few times, but last night did not disappoint. Atmosphere was great, food was amazing, service was top class, pudding’s where spot on. Plus it was value for money. Recommend this place for any occasion. Thank you

Had the set menu at lunch time, choice of starters and mains. All freshly cooked and great value for money. When we went there was a Pinot Grigio as a recommended wine which was really good. Would highly recommend it as somewhere to eat.

We chose The Chequers because it was mid-way to meet friends for dinner. None of us had been there before, but we all agreed we’d definitely go back there next time we meet up! The crab & prawn salad was lovely (another of us has the terrine, and said it was just as good). Also loved the sea bass on Bombay potatoes. With drinks (and 2 of the 4 of us had dessert) it came to £75 a couple allowing for service. Not cheap, but we’ve paid more and not been anywhere near as impressed. Would definitely recommend a visit

Today was my first visit at the Chequers and I can say I was not disappointed. I had the Roast of the Day, Leg of Lamb, cooked to perfection followed by a delicious apple and cinnamon crumble! What a lovely pub with lovely staff, I will be back Chequers!!!

Visited today for Sunday lunch with a friend, chose the beef, portions were shocking, 3 very small (no bigger than 3inches) thin slices of beef, vegetables and potatoes luke warm. Dessert wasn’t hot either, the table next door to us sent food back twice!

It was so disappointing. On arrival our table wasn’t ready we were simply told “ you can go to the bar but it’s really busy” or to sit and wait by the front door. ( there was 6 of us including a newborn baby & 2 year old) We then sat down and asked 3 times to order drinks. Then they came 20 minutes later ... the order was wrong ..... twice where the waiter simply hadn’t listened. We got the menus no one came so we asked to order after 15 minutes. I asked if there was a kids menu / colouring for my 2 year old which I was told ... no they’re lost?? When the food arrived it came in different stages so we sat waiting before starting out of courtesy but the meal was awful. Yorkshire’s were burnt ... tasted burnt and bitter... potatoes cold & hard, only 2 pieces of extremely thinly sliced beef. Watery “gravy” on the plate ... we asked for 2 jugs of gravy which again was just like water. We then asked for second round of drinks, which were wrong .... again... took it back and came back again wrong. We were asked if we enjoyed our meal after the bill was bought to us. At which a reply to my “ no service and food was not good” was “ oh sorry about that” as she took a payment of over £100 from my card.

Really disappointed following our meal there last night. We have visited many times before with friends and family for breakfast, lunch and dinner and always loved it. Yesterday we found the food overpriced and mediocre. The service too was disappointing. The waitress said she could not take our food order in the bar despite serving other customers. Our drink order arrived twice. Last week I contacted Chequers to try and book a table for Christmas Eve I called again this week and again no one has got back to me we will be looking elsewhere.

We had a End of Season t20 and social with our food and drinks hosted by The Chequers. Upon arrival we were greeted by all the bar staff and had a designated area outside with complimentary Pimms (went down very well!)

We’ve been to the Chequers at Eversley many times in the past. Our most recent visit was poor. Menu now very expensive for what you get and one of our party was served a burger that was more biscuit than burger. Clearly had been re-heated and burnt to a crisp. Tasted stale and burnt. Manager had audacity to claim it was fresh meat badly cooked. I know “re-heated”, “stale” food when presented with it. The waitress was more sympathetic than manager. Due to length of time it took for food to arrive I declined a new meal as I would have been eating on my own well after rest of group had finished. Tip for the future. Don’t argue with a customer when you are clearly on shaky ground. Very disappointed.

We came on a Sunday night, arrived 5 mins early and was told that our table was not ready; it would be 5 minutes ,before it was; that was fair enough. However 15 mins later we had not been told that our table was ready, so I decided to ask, and indeed it was. We had a pleasant drink at the bar at meantime. Later on though, our bar drinks had not been added to the food bill, so appears like the restaurant and bar work in silos. The staff are friendly but perhaps a bit overworked? We came on a Sunday evening and disappointingly the chocolate mousse was off. However the roast beef was tender and there were some nicely cooked vegetables.

Eaten here on a number of occasions, generally had a nice experience, but first time for Breakfast with the family. You would think of all cuisine breakfast would be the easiest to master, unfortunately not for the Chequers. Smashed Avocado should be called sliced spring onion, the Avocado was not smashed but diced and had been sitting for some time and had turned a shade of brown, with spring onion outnumbering the avocado. English breakfast was disappointing with some items served tepid and portions that I had expected to set me up for the day causing me to contemplate Sunday lunch, and then there is the price. There are many other local establishments that do a better job for breakfast.

have been to this restaurant a few times now and this latest visit did not disappoint. The food once again was good and the service, considering there were only a few staff serving on quite a bus evening, was quite quick.

The Chequers has two distinct personalities - a local pub, and a gastropub restaurant. Going by the interaction between staff and customer while I was there, both clearly have a very loyal local customer base.

Ordered a cheese Quiche with radish salad and new potatoes, salad was so small, tiny, and three new potatoes. no value for money £13.75. my family had burgers, same price. complained and was tole it is standard size. this is not good enough, at the most not even a hand full of leaves, no radish on plate and three potatoes ! poor value, poor response. was given my money back and given food as well. very tasty quiche.

I have been there only once and it was not the greatest experience. Saturday, between 2-3pm. Staff not really bothered about guests coming. Had to go inside to find someone to place an order. Menu is very poor. - The whole list inclusive of the starters, classics, main dishes, deserts - on 1 page. You have maybe 5options tops. Burgers seemed safe. Edible, but not the best - were dry, overdone and built tall to impress visually, but the overall impression was rather - how am I going to put that in my mouth since its a tower of this size... The salad that came with it was tasteless, completely blant. Chips were just fine.

Overpriced menu and then the meals were very small - especially for men. Food was ok but for the price should have been a lot better. Very disappointed again.

The Chequers is our local gastro pub and I have been several times for lunch, dinner of breakfast - the latter is usually a lovely start to the day but my experience yesterday was very disappointing, especially since we were taking American guests. In comparison with previous visits, our (very small) poached eggs were all over cooked and parts of the toasted muffins (again, very small) were burnt. The small (!) portion of smoked salmon was brown and thick in parts - not the best!

A group of us went for Sunday Lunch a couple of weeks ago and would say how disappointed I was with the service and the food. The meat was very fatty and not up to the usual standard and the puddings and coffee with cake were the same. When we complained to the staff, they were too quick to give explanations as to why rather than apologise.

We never did make it back to The Chequers after last years "Lobster August", but could not miss it this year. In fact last night was our 2nd in 2 weeks. The staff were great, friendly and attentive, the starter menu was excellent and the "English Lobsters" were perfect. Cooked to perfection and natural. A lovely French Sauvignan Blanc to wash it down. What more can you want. On both occasions we retired to the bar and an end to an excellent day with Hendricks and Tonic, presented with care and thought. The Wheat Beer was excellent, used to drink it a lot and nice to get a pint on draught again. They have a sign-up service that is well worth singing up for just for the "discounts". We are looking forward to their upcoming "special events".

We have been going to the Chequers for a couple of years now, it’s had its ups and downs but it’s definitely doing well with Lizzie! Lizzie, Kate and Jordan are all outstanding as are most other members of the team & a special thanks to them all for how family friendly and accommodating they are.

We joined two friends for dinner, and having been just the two of us the week before it lived up to all our expectations. Excellent Food, a very good menu selection and lovely friendly service. Our selection of wines were also very good. We had a special offer voucher which made the evening exceedingly good value for money. Even without the voucher we will go again.

We ate here one evening while visiting family in the UK. I believe ownership of this pub has changed hands in recent years - and it shows. The wait staff were not really familiar with the menus, and whether there were any "specials". The on-tap beers lacked character, in my opinion. I'd probably pass on visiting again.

Lizzie and her team are doing a fabulous job, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the food was excellent. I look forward to my next visit

A friend and I visited today at lunchtime. The food was lovely and the choice good the table was laid perfectly and the service good.one thing marred our visit and that was the disabled access for a wheel chair. The only even accessible part was hidden by outdoor tables, anoticeindicating where access is would be handy or even a portable ramp.ihope this issue is addressed as there are plenty of accessible venues in the vicinity. Spoils the pubgetting topmarks. Don’t know if there is a. Disabled looas didnt. Red one,but saw no mention of it with the other toilets!

Third visit, first I was pleasantly surprised with the place, the second was to see if I was right the first time, I was, excellent, had their lobster, amazing! So the third time, tried their Scallop risotto, it was superb.

Six of us went for sunday dinner, i had lamb which i could not cut, very fatty and thick, when i bought this to waiters attention was told shouldn,t have ordered well done!! very poor customer service. i had beef well done instead which was good. we chose mini treacle tartand cofee for pudding, which turned out to be lemon tart with caramelised top, and pastry raw underneath, when pointed out again was told the chef does put a drop of lemon in the treacle tart!! Again poor customer service, all of us who had it agreed it was lemon tart

The food was okay, eventually, as mine came without the correct salad. When I queried this I was told that it was because they had a new head chef. Why don’t the staff know what each dish is comprised of? Our communications from them always states ‘from the team’, but it is not teamwork to apportion blame, and particularly not to a new member of that team. The food took a very long time to arrive, no apologies. Standards here have dropped so much. There does not seem to be any particular person in charge.

The lobster was even better than last year and it cost less this year! The food was excellent - had a sea food feast as had the prawn and crab salad to start! The staff in the bar area were particularly friendly and welcomed serving me with my free drink! We enjoyed the evening so much we booked again for two weeks time! That says it all really!!

Years ago we stopped coming to this local pub because it went rapidly downhill in quality and service. We came back recently and I have to say I was blown away by the food and staff. The taste was amazing, the staff were attentive and knowledgeable plus the pub itself looks very nice. Highly recommended!

Lizzie Thank you for a great evening of entertainment at The Chequers with Julia Titus ‘Ma Bessie’ performing Jazz, Blues and Reggae can’t wait for her return on September 13th for your Creole / Caribbean night.

My husband and I visited the Chequers for Sunday lunch on August 5th. We both had the lamb, which was outstanding. The portion was a good size with plenty of veg, roast potatoes and a massive Yorkshire pudding. We also had the tart and coffee for dessert, we though this was a great choice as you get a slightly smaller portion of tart and your coffee as your dessert, great if you are feeling “almost” full after your main course. We would highly recommend the Sunday roast lunch at the Chequers.

Yet another fab meal here at the chequers. Food is always good as is the service. Great choice and variety. Lovely friendly staff. Always a winner

Great food, great choice, amazing dressings, ticks every box! Also great eating experience, the staff friendly, observant, on top of their game, with a sense of humour too! Great place for our date nights... Recommended!

Not busy but had a long wait between ordering and receiving our food. Portions very small for the price. Ordered a second drink when food arrived but had finished before it arrvived. 3 plates were cleared very quickly but 4th was left on table for at least 15 minutes we were going to have deserts but it seemed too much trouble for the waitress who was walking away as she asked. Very disappointed will not be going back.

Sometimes restaurants don’t always get it right, it’s what they do to rectify problems. Tonight they did just that and our meal was perfect as it always has been apart from one glitch. 10/10

I had been a while since we last visited The Chequers, but in the middle of an otherwise uneventful week we decided to try it for lunch.

We enjoyed a lovely family meal with plenty of choice for everyone. The portions were large but well presented and tasty. Excellent waiting staff.

Took 30 mins for egg on toast Sat outside had not been swept ash trays overflowing from the night before empty dog bowl in middle of floor Food ok could do with a little more panache

Good food, great service and a pleasant atmosphere. My wife had a whole lobster for £20, which was fresh, perfectly cooked and excellent value. We are returning this week with our two dogs as they will enjoy the outside seating area.

I visited with a very good friend to discuss some pension matters. It involved some detailed discussions. Food beautifully presented - The restaurant team, especially Katie B and colleague, served us attentively without ever being intrusive.

our youngson s birthday .. surpirse family lunch .. THE CHEQUERS ..reflecting the very best of BRITISH - trust me .. tripadvisor please allow our sincere grateful public thanks to THE CHEQUERS wonderful staff .." LIZZY"duty manager .. KATE- young beautiful australian with wimbledon charming manners .. two AFROCARIBEANS young ladies and other staff ..THANK YOU ALL..GOD BLESS ..

This pub is on my door step and visited on many occasions with great food and service. Last night, I met 4 friends for dinner and were seated quickly. But we then waited 30 minutes and no member of staff appeared to take our drinks order. We then reminded a member of staff that we hadn't been seen to, but then waited another 20 minutes. Still no service. 50 minutes in we were thirsty and hungry and complained again. In the meantime several other dinners had been seated and orders taken! Finally after a limp apologie from a member of staff they took our order for drinks and food. One hour later a complementary bloomer arrived to help our hunger. Drinks than followed. Food followed although one diner got something different from what they ordered. Too hungry to complain we didn't argue. All in all a very dissappointing experience and won't be going back anytime soon!!!

Abbiamo cenato recentemente con alcuni colleghi di lavoro. Esperienza complessivamente insoddisfacente, perché abbiamo aspettato oltre mezz'ora per avere il ns tavolo (nonostante avessimo prenotato) - da rilevare anche cha abbiamo pagato oltre 30 sterline a testa per una soup of the day, main course e coca cola. Sostanzialmente rapporto prezzo/qualità decisamente insoddisfacente, servizio al tavolo abbastanza approssimativo e tempi di attesa troppo lunghi tra una portata e l'altra

Not sure whether this place has been taken over or they have new chefs/staff, but there has been a noticeable decline in the quality of the food. I would visit once a month on average but after last nights experience, I won’t be going back. The sharing boards were a particular disappointment. Waitress tried hard though...

Had early supper with family. Very pleasant surroundings, obliging staff and tasty food. Staff were very friendly and willing, order taken efficiently and food delivered quickly. I'd certainly go again - enjoyed very much.

Booked to have lunch at The Chequers as it was a mid point for meeting old school friends. We had a friendly welcome and a very pleasant waitress took our orders for drinks. Being a large party service was a little on the slow side but it was very busy so acceptable.

First impressions were good. The restaurant looked nice and we had high expectations. Service was slow and very hap hazard. When our starters came they were disappointing. Tomatoes and mozerella thrown on a plate and a fish platter that was fairly bland apart from the garlic mayonnaise. We had wanted to order two sea bass and two chicken dishes from the menu, but were told that they had neither. We chose alternatives of scallop risotto and steaks. The risotto was good, the steaks not cooked as requested.

We’ve had many good experiences here over the last 15 years but since the excellent Jordan left a couple of years ago The Chequers has struggled. Our most recent trip was very disappointing. Very average food which was poorly cooked and not well presented, slow, forgetful and generally not attentive service meant that we will probably not be back. Even with £45 knocked off the bill we still spent £175 and a third of that was on an overpriced bottle of Verve. Apparently they have a new chef who got overwhelmed.

Tried to celebrate my daughter moving into her first house. A celebration of the pub’s 5 year anniversary had been announced with music and free nibbles. Presumably the intention was to draw more customers. That worked, it was packed. However, there weren’t enough staff on duty.

Welcomed by very relaxed friendly staff . Food absolutely delicious . Quite a wait for the food but it was a lovely day and my birthday and as we sat outside it really wasn’t a problem . I had the vegetarian platter which was so tasty . Can’t wait to go back

Fully agree with some of the previous reviews. Introduced two friends to The Chequers expecting good food and value for money but felt let down with quality of food. Sounds good on the menu but disappointing on the plate. Expensive for size of portions and the crab and prawn starter is a non-event. Staff seemed overstretched despite the dining room being under occupied.

As previously mentioned in another review, whilst we received a warm welcome and enjoyed our starters, the mains were very lack lustre and the service was lacking towards the end of our meal. Very quick to take our food and drink order but slow when it came to desserts etc. I think we were there on the same night as the other reviewer.

After thinking about going for the last couple of years, we eventually went for an evening meal with my husband. We had a great time, the menu was small but with diverse options and a few daily specials, all focusing on good quality local products. The food, starters, mains and dessert were excellent, we could not fault them! Service was also really good, friendly but very professional and attentive. We will definitely go back!

Warm and attentive welcome. Enjoyed our food but a very inconsistent experience. Quick to ask what we wanted to drink and food order was promptly taken.

On the positive front this hotel is well located to the centre of Newbury with private parking off road.

Had a really great meal here.Steak cooked to absolute perfection we had Rump and fillet both very good. Green beans with fillet were almost raw which was a shame.Had the asparagus special as a starter which was excellent and the way it was severed was very good. Desert the cherry bakewell whist tasty the pastry was burnt and the filling dry.

Had a really lovely meal here recently and this was much better that the one we had had last time. (I think it must have just been an off day the time before) . Steaks cooked to perfection and fabulous pudding and cheese to finish the meal. I would recommend and am looking forward to a return visit very soon.

First visit for my parents, myself and my son and what a great meal. The service, ambience and of course the food all exceeded our expectations. My parents said it was one of the best meals they'd eaten out in a long, long time :) We'll be back :)

We come here regularly but were particularly impressed with the new 'spring menu'!!Crab benedict and pea/mint potatoe cakes were gorgeous and so was our kedgeree/pork belly!!As for the pudding, as normally non pudding people, we found the bread and butter pudding lovely but the cherry on the cake literally was the 'choc brownie sundae'. UNREAL!! I may have to come back every day to eat it!! Super happy! Now all they need is a day bed for snoozing!!!

First visit - food excellent - staff brilliant - atmosphere great - a first class venue - pork belly was particularly good

Had Sunday lunch in here and it was amazing. Really lovely staff and food was excellent. The sweets were simply gorgeous.

This was a special occasion for us, made even more special by the staff, food and atmosphere in the place. Excellent. You must try the mixed fish platter starter, then after that they just use such wonderful meats (great butcher ). If you want a quiet, fine dining experience this is NOT for you. IF you want just great, honest food, drinks and atmosphere then it is .Thanks Jordan etc , lovely evening in a great proper pub..

Had a great night here with friends. We were well served by the bar staff who show some charisma when taking the order. Then showed through and served with the same attentiveness throughout the evening. The food was lovely and the wine choices were perfect for our table. Definitely be happy to go back there again pretty quickly and would suggest to anyone to eat there.

Last night was special - my husband and I with friends attended a "sampling" evening which was full of delicious scrumptious surprises from course to course. Jordan extolled the virtues of the locally sourced ingredients explaining with obvious glee how the ideas had come together to create each new menu item. This will be a glorious season for food lovers visiting this wonderful restaurant with its exciting sumptuous fayre, Congratulations

As a regular, whether just for a beer and/or a bite, Chequers has long been my favourite place. Always a warm welcome from Jordan and his team, the food is perhaps a tad more expensive than elsewhere but is always excellent. Last night, enjoyed the Tasting Menu to herald the arrival of the new menu which should be a real success for the next few months. Whether for breakfast, Sunday lunch or dinner, I would thoroughly recommend. Booking advisable. Oh, and dogs are welcome in the bar area.

I go to the Cheques quite a lot. The variety of food is good and love that its busy with a buzz bit not packed.

One of the the best gastro pubs in the area. Lovely food and lovely attentive staff. Going again tomorrow for friends birthday lunch.

I have recently started to become a regular at Chequers as I never knew what a little gem of a restaurant it is.The staff are extremely friendly and the food is hearty and delicious and clearly uses well sourced, good quality produce.I have recommended the lunches to everyone at work and have taken all the family there too.

Have visited this place 3 times now, each time we have had excellent service and excellent food. The Wed night specials are also very good, different theme each We'd. Cannot fault this at all.

We've recently discovered this restaurant when It was recommended by a friend. The service was great, food delicious and good beers. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting an excellent meal.

Although we have visited Chequers many times before, this was the first time since the new ownership.We went for lunch with friends, and were very impressed.The food was high quality, served good and hot ...when appropriate of course ;) .... and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.We think it will be a place for a special treat now and again, rather than popping in frequently, but what a nice treat it will be!
