Beautiful food and fantastic service. Brought my boyfriend here for his 30th birthday and we were blown away. The food was some of the best I've ever had and the attention to detail is immaculate. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone in the area celebrating something really special.

Absolutely spot on, from the rooms to the five star food and the personal attention from both the chef and Rachel, a wonderful find in this part of the country. Nothing overlooked, and the little details in the way the food is served is deserving of the Michelin star...... And more.

Calm unhurried service. The tasting menu courses came at the right rate. Canapés and carrots were the stand-out courses. Fish and meat excellent too……. but the carrots were exceptional- fabulous flavour lifted to such a high level.

Three of us had a wonderful meal at Checkers last week. We really enjoyed every part of the seven course evening menu but particularly the John Dory, asparagus, laverbread and dill butter. As always, they were very welcoming and service was attentive. The drinks choice is broad. We will definitely return.

This place is a gastronomic delight. You absolutely pay for the pleasure but the food does not disappoint. If I had to make one observation that is that the chairs are extremely uncomfortable and even the lounge chairs that you sit on prior to your meal are extremely low and difficult to get out of. But I suppose you come here to eat and not to study the furniture.

Beautiful 5 course lunch, pitch perfect on the combination of flavours, well balanced, right size, right seasoning, 10 out of 10, couldn’t fault it. Add to that the restaurant, the service, the music, the whole shooting match made it a perfect few hours. Then if you talk to the owners, you’ll see it’s because of their passion.

We stayed & dined here for New Year’s Eve. The room was great with quality amities and very nice Welsh cakes. The evening meal was fabulous, the set menu was well balanced and Andrew’s passion for quality and local ingredients showed. Rachel and the front of house staff are friendly and attentive. The rooms are very comfortable and we had a great night sleep. The following morning we had a great breakfast. Would highly recommended the rooms and restaurant. Will definitely return.

The food at Checkers was definitely 5/5 . The flavours and experience were superb. We had booked via their website and had only gone as I had been given £40 in vouchers by my work colleagues. There was nowhere to indicate on the site that we had vouchers but as we knew they would hardly cover the bill we didn’t worry. Also the voucher was bought from them so had been paid for in advance and was still in date. After a brilliant meal we went to pay and used our voucher. (£168 - £40) We were told off in a curt manner but they did grudgingly take the voucher. It left a sour taste on what should have been an excellent experience.

THIS IN OUR FIRST VISIT TO MONTGOMERY SINCE THE NEW TEAM TOOK OVER AND THE FOOD WAS JUST AS DELICIOUS AND INTERESTING AS BEFORE AND THE HOSPITALITY WAS CHARMING AND FAULTLESS. A TASTING MENU EXCITED THE TASTE BUDS ON EVERY COURSE. FROM DELICATE SCALLOPS THROUGH PLAICE ON A RISOTTO BED, VIA SUMPTUOUS VEAL, TO SOFT LOCAL CHEESE WITH A HONEY TRUFFLE GARNISH AND A CHOCOLATE EXPLOSION IN THE MOUTH, DINNER WAS AS GOOD AS IT GETS AND WELL WORTH THE JOURNEY. CHECKERS IS BACK AND SO WILL WE.

An outstanding lunch at this lovely restaurant in the beautiful town of Montgomery, I was lucky enough to be my daughters guest and she had been very lucky to win this generous prize. The setting was relaxed and homely, the food was so tasty and so creatively presented it was almost a shame to tuck in, but glad i did as my tastebuds were certainly delighted, the wine was delicious too. Thank you so much for looking after us so well. I wish you much luck and success and will certainly be back for some future treats.

My partner and I had a memorable anniversary meal and were lucky enough to stay over too. The room (Daisy) was lovely- very comfortable and relaxing. Thoughtful touches of delicious Welsh cakes and fresh milk on arriving. The bathroom was well supplied with gorgeous Bramley products which were a pleasure to use. Our eight course tasting menu was superb. We particularly enjoyed the wine pairings which were very thoughtful and each complemented its food very well. We enjoyed hearing about the wine also from the female owner. All eight courses were lovely- we particularly enjoyed the “snacks” for course one, the plaice with laverbread risotto for course four and the “lemon” which was course six, which was a refreshing and refined version of lemon posset. We arrived hungry and ready for our eight courses, but felt overfaced by the end, and my partner had to sadly retire at the cheese round- her loss as this was a delicious slice of local blue cheese which ended the meal perfectly. We had a couple of miseries on the table next to us who seemed determined to find fault with everything, but we were largely able to ignore them! A real treat and we also thought the food was incredibly good value. Would go back for high days and holidays, and invest in elasticated waist trousers :-)

This is a destination place to eat. I have only had one meal comproble in the UK and it was at a Michelin 1 star in St. Andrews. This is a small place, out of the way, dependent on on chef and his wife who runs the front of the house. Well, to make a long story short, every course was beautiful, thoughtful and satisfying. Everyone has different expectations especially when food and wine get more expensive. But I will tell you, this is the most expensive meal we have had in the last year and niether of us regretted a minute of it. We had the wine pairing which is expensive but so well chosen that it enhanced the whole experience in spite of the expense. Again, this is a destination retuarant worthy of the expense.

Wouldn’t recommend there was absolutely no atmosphere, food was average (sea bass ceviche was more like sashimi and didn’t taste like a particular decent grade) second course was a couple of carrots which were nice but abit pointless. Fish course was plain and sloppy, venison was ok but pretty flavourless, lemon was curdling and the desert was just some sort of cherry (not fresh) granola. Wine flight was average and extremely small measures (in my experience I would except a 125 measure) soft drinks expensive and service lack lustre. Have noticed the bad reviews here are all followed with nasty responses; which honestly I find disgusting. The meal was so bad I actually vommed after. For 300+ I wish we had just gone to somewhere with an actual Michelin star and not somewhere dining on the success of previous owners.

Beautiful 6 course tasting menu for lunch today provided by a calm & attentive team in a lovely environment. It can be stressful eating out when you have coeliac disease. I've eaten at many a place that has been pre-warned but that have struggled, including a Michelin 2* restaurant, but this was a totally stress free occasion with all dishes adapted & a confident team providing reassurance. Will definitely be back.

From start to finish a superb meal! ‘Snacks’ were all delicious, accompanied by a good sized glass of Prosecco. Staters of smoked salmon in a cucumber gazpacho and rabbit cannelloni were full of flavour. The star of the meal was the melt in the mouth Welsh lamb with interesting accompaniments. Deserts of panna cotta and cherries or chocolate mousse were just right. Service was pleasant and efficient. Wine list interesting. We wish the owners well, they deserve success!

We had the lunch taster menu, a meticulously crafted masterpiece, presented an array of gastronomic delights that showcased the chef's ingenuity and creativity. Each dish was a harmonious blend of flavors, textures, and visual aesthetics, crafted with a level of skill that was truly extraordinary. The presentation alone was a work of art, with meticulous attention given to every detail, right down to the arrangement of garnishes and the delicate balance of colors on the plate. Every bite was a revelation, an explosion of flavors that danced on my palate with precision and finesse. From the delicate and tender seafood to the perfectly cooked cuts of meat, each ingredient had been carefully sourced and masterfully prepared to showcase its inherent qualities. To anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience, The Checkers is an absolute must-visit. Prepare to be enchanted and inspired, as you embark on a gastronomic journey that will forever redefine your perception of culinary excellence.

A friend and I treated ourselves to the tasting menu. Not only was the food excellent, but the service was friendly and attentive, including a chat with the chef patron at the end of the meal. The 5 courses, plus amuse-bouches were just the right size, but we had to take it slowly so as not to run out of room! We managed to park in Broad Street fairly easily. A tiny improvement I would like to suggest is to put a handrail in the entrance for those of us who have trouble with steps, otherwise a great experience.
