Food was not to standard today, cold chips, one meal was requested to have no BBQ sauce or mayo but came out cover so was sent back, a half hearted attempt to replace it thrown together no sauce but also no salad the same chips as had sauce still on them. A new staff member who had no idea what she was doing. Disappointing tonight

Pub wasn't busy. I was told to order at the bar. Only 1 man trying to serve two bars and take food orders on a hot day whilst the "girls" laughed and joked instead of wiping sticky tables. Food service seemed to be left to one poor younger lad, who was wiping tables, taking orders, bring out food and bringing in glasses from the tables outside. Food wasn't as expected. Hubby seabass was 3 flakes rather than fillets. We paid full price not the reduced menu. It was like a child portion. I shared half mine with hubby which wasn't that large. Won't be going back

My friends and I have been regulars at the Old Red for years, and we have always enjoyed our time there. However, our experience was taken to a whole new level recently when we were served by the incredible Tracy. Tracy was an absolute gem of a waitress - always with a smile on her face, friendly, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic dining experience. She was attentive to our needs and made us feel like valued customers. It is clear that Tracy takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about the satisfaction of her guests. The Old Red is lucky to have her on their team and we are grateful for the exceptional service she provided us during our visit. Keep up the amazing work, Tracy you truly are an amazing shining star in the world of hospitality.

Very nice experience. Large car park, and plenty of varied seating for all occasions. Didn't have an ordered drink in stock, but staff came over to sort extremely quickly and did so extremely well. Food was very nice, my 2 onion rings came out separately, but all was fine. Lots of choice on the menu, and some excellent great-value deals on every day. Slight wait at the bar, but many people had turned up after us, so food service was required, and bar service was resolved immediately food was served. Would go again.

Been in Stevenage for 12 years and this is my first visit. A 20 minute stroll brought us to this more traditional looking pub. Decent size car park but be aware of some horrendous pot holes. Settled for a comfy bench table near the fireplace. The App was very easy to order from and you can remove ingredients that you don't like. I ordered a cocktail picture which took about 20 minutes to come so with this in mind I ordered another and it arrived in 2 minutes! Food was ordered A home run and bacon and cheese burger. The food was arrived hot apart from my fairground onions were cold. Still it was nice. Pudding was a very nice warmed chocolate fudge cake. All in all a nice meal.

Sadly I won't be visiting again. It was a Sunday- roast day - they were reasonably busy but they had run out of onions, mushrooms, strawberries and other items. Yes they had a failed delivery but what about popping to the shop? The staff are very nice however I cannot give a higher rating with the food situation. Also the choice of starters was limited and further so by no mushrooms.

Mixed grill was quite poor . Cheap frozen tasteless chicken breast , sausage was terrible' again cheap with loads of herbs to try and disguise the fact it had virtually no meat content . No salad or mushrooms which I believe us a given on a mixed grill . Anaemic looking with no colour. Altogether a little disappointing.

No one approached or welcomed us. Our food was partially cold some bland some over cooked 🙄. At least they managed to get the 2 childrens meals were okay. Didn't stay for pudding.

Food was very good. Glasses weren’t cleaned properly, ran out of ice and most of the food options we had chosen (was only 4 of us) . In toilets the tiles were all cracked and falling off the walls, loads of cobwebs. Tables were very sticky aswell! Desert wasn’t very nice! Ordered the chocolate fudge cake was very dry and was supposed to be warm but was mostly cold. The apple and berry crumble wasn’t cooked thoroughly and was still frozen in certain bits! Very very disappointed as been before this and food, service and hygiene was good now not so much :(

Went today a monday it was very quiet, only 2 people eating. Husband had a burger I ordered pie. Food came out minus gravy. The lovely young lady said it was just beening made.!!! Ate half the pie and still no gravy so went to find where it was. 15 mins later ( husband had finished hes food. ) Mine turned up. Told the manager to take it back. I expected to eat with my husband. By this time another couple had their food as well. Went to pay bill and there was a cook getting a coffee. The young waitress was fantastic and I really felt for her. This place really needs to get their act together. Poor management yet again will now Never return.!!!

Almost certainly the best Sunday lunch I have ever had outside of home. Well cooked and well presented with a great choice of veggies (including red cabbage and sweet potato) along with very succulent and tender chicken. Sticky toffee pudding was light and 'melt-in-the-mouth'. Great service with cheerful and really helpful staff. All together a lovely dining experience. What more could one ask for?

We decided to eat at the Chequers last night as its our local. Not busy got a table. Ordered food then after a long while was told they had run out of a few things. Re ordered didn't get what we requested. Waitress took one dish off the bill which left it at 52.00. Gave her £60.00 waited for change never came. Asked for change which I'm guessing was the manager on last night. She went to the till printed off a receipt which was showing £61 said we were not entitled to the change in fact we owed her and to forget about the rest as it came out of her pocket. RUDE beyond belief!!! Dreadful experience.
