The Chequers in Reigate and Banstead

The food is definitely a cut above the usual pub fare yet remains reasonably priced. Pleasantly airy inside, but intimate too. Service staff are very professional and smart. Recommended.

It was my wife and my (significant) wedding anniversary in September and we chose here to have an informal celebratory lunch with our good friends, so there were 10 of us for lunch. The menu was good and the day's special well appreciated. Service was good, maybe could have been a little bit slicker, but that's me being picky! Overall, a good experience for all of us, and I can recommend this as a venue for similar sized lunch parties.

Our family of 6 including two children had the most delightful afternoon. The decor is comfortable, cosy and in great order. The service was spot on attentive and friendly. Our Sunday roast was really superb, extremely tasty, good produce, well presented and good value. They were very flexible with my grandchildren’s food and provided what we asked for. I live in Worthing so a distance but we have already said we will return when the weather is nicer and sit in the beautifully furnished garden.

Honestly don’t bother - they seem to be running this place on the least amount of staff they can get away with. To be told they aren’t taking walk ins when the place is half empty was ridiculous and clearly because they barely had any staff, don’t know how they make enough money to keep this place open - probably because the food costs an arm and a leg when you actually get to eat it!

Sunday Lunch doesn't get any better; big portions, tasty, good quality and great value for money - One of the best I've eaten in a while. A warm welcome by Nick & Jo led to what was a wonderful Sunday lunch. Nick was extremely attentive and even offered our dog his own bowl of Sunday Beef! We will be back!

We went to The Chequers this weekend and had a truly delicious meal. The staff were friendly, attentive and professional and the food was excellent. A proper pub with a touch of class, we loved the atmosphere, the charming courtyard garden and the dog-friendly, family vibe. Initially, I struggled to decide what to opt for, as the menu offered a tempting and varied selection - each dish sounded so appealing. I went for the Schnitzel and did not regret it. My meal was rich, tasty and generously portioned. Me and my husband were feeling greedy so we shared the sticky toffee pudding which was divine. Would definitely go back. Highly recommended, excellent value for money. What a find!

3rd visit to this lovely pub and it just gets better and better. Great friendly welcome from the staff and regulars when entering the bar, which is always a nice start. I had the belly pork bites for starters glazed with honey and they were delicious. The main course was the calves liver which was cooked to perfection and tasty mash & veg to compliment. My wife had the chicken schnitzel which she couldn’t quite finish so I polished it off for her & it was very tasty. We shared a sticky toffee pudding which was delicious. Top notch pub food. The manager Nick even remembered us from our last visit & popped over to say “hello” which is a nice touch. Thoroughly recommended. 5/5

Been there loads of times. I’ve always loved Youngs Pubs. The beer was good, I will admit I sampled the Shere Drop as opposed to one of Youngs Brews. I had the Sausage and Mash my friend had the Chequers Burger. My meal was excellent and given the empty plate of my friend I can confidently say that his meal was of the same standard. I was served by Anthony who seemed a very personable and efficient young man.

WE had such a lovely evening. Food was delicious and the staff were so friendly and efficient. We will definitely be returning

Had our wedding champagne reception here last Saturday and it was a great venue. Guests were raving about the food they served, and the Chequers team were great - super friendly, helpful. The pub is lovely as well for a drink and/or meal - we often go there.

After a long walk in the nearby bluebell lanes and woods it's a good place to meet friends for lunch. We had a wonderful plate of fish and chips!

We visited The Chequers not long after Nick and Jo took it over last year. It was good then - fantastic Sunday lunch, excellent staff, superb venue and our large group of cyclists/hikers were warmly welcomed and well looked after. A much smaller group this time, just four for Sunday lunch and our friends were not disappointed. A friendly, helpful team working at The Chequers who were very responsive without being intrusive. Possibly the best Sunday lunch I’ve had in ages. The icing on the cake had was seeing the landlord himself, taking the time to walk around the pub offering second helpings of Yorkshire Puddings and gravy. Seriously, what is there not to love 😍. Looking forward to planning my next visit to The Chequers. A 50 minute drive for us but worth every minute. Thank you Nick, Jo and Team.

First time we have visited the Chequers and will definitely be back. Food was excellent and friendly, helpful team members. Look forward to our next visit

This was our second visit to this lovely pub and once again it did not disappoint. We had the roast beef and it was divine. Service was also first class and the staff are clearly well trained & seem to enjoy their jobs. Overall I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

I've always liked this pub. I've been coming here on and off for 50 years. During its 21st century evolution into a food pub it inevitably has lost its lovely olde worlde pub in the country feel, but I like the way the pub surrounds the bar and is divided into loose sections that give a sense of seclusion. This means the pub is particularly useful for those of us whose hearing has declined. The food is pretty standard pub grub and is okay and no better. The scampi was overcooked; the cabbage was a bit crunchy (much better than mushy though). Service was friendly but a bit lethargic. I wouldn't pisitively recommend the place but, to be honest, I'll probably go again: a fifty year habit - even an occasional one - is hard to break.

I downloaded trip advisor just to write this review as it’s well deserved. Second visit to this pub and service has been consistently good. Super polite staff , always available and you don’t have to look for them as they are attentive and always checking if you are ready to order or need a drink. The location is gorgeous, pub is clean and they are just so accommodating! I visited with 2 small children and my dog and the staff were amazing. We don’t live close-by but we would always choose this place over another pub.

We hosted a wake for our late father at The Chequers. Staff were responsive and incredibly accommodating of our requests including providing additional food at short notice due to higher guest numbers than expected. We ordered sharing boards and the food was delicious. Staff were empathetic and respectful at all times and provided a cosy, welcoming setting, a perfect choice for our family at such a sad time. Thank you so much for your care, service and attention, highly recommend!

We came to the chequers for an early Mother’s Day dinner with our very anxious dog, staff were very accommodating and understanding of this and let us sit in the lodge. The food was delicious and service was amazing, we will definitely return. Special thank you to our waitress Nat who was very patient with our noisy dog!

We visited The Chequers for an early Mothers Day celebration and they obligingly allowed us to book one of their outside, enclosed dining areas when we explained we were bringing our rescue dog too who is still learning to socialise. The huts are cosy with fairy lights, TV and heating with lap blankets also for those who are extra chilly. Food superb and they even cooked two sausages for our dog and brought them out chopped up in a little bowl! Thank you The Chequers and all your fabulous staff - we had a wonderful time.

Great pub, food is delicious and staff are fantastic. Huge pub with beautiful decor and big pub garden. Would reccomend a visit

Went out for a lovely dinner with my partner and the service received was exceptionally amazing, Chloe was brilliant dealing with my partners dietary needs and advising us on the best choices, exceptional service

Liam was such an amazing waiter! He couldn’t have been more helpful he was so attentive and asked us throughout the meal if he could do anything else or if we needed anything! The food was amazing but made better by the service from Liam 5 stars for Liam!!

Liam was THE BEST!!! so so kind and very enthusiastic, what a star!! made the experience 10x better, thank you so much xxx

Liam out waiter couldn’t have looked after us any better,nothing was too much trouble and the service was faultless,the food was absolutely fantastic and really tasty,our family of eight had various dishes from the extensive menu and it was all delicious…. Can’t wait to visit again ASAP cheers Liam and the rest of the team At Chequers.

Lovely lunch today for a family birthday served by the wonderful Liam who was so attentive and fun. Food was delicious and the portions huge. What a fab lunch.

Best burger we've both had in a very long time The lady manager was very welcoming and friendly Will definitely be going back soon

Had Sunday Roast at the Chequers yesterday. We all chose roast beef, nicely presented, tasty and have to say the Yorkshire puddings were amazing!

We sat in the bar area (me, husband and father) with our 2 dogs by the fire. The staff were really attentive and brought our drinks to the table. Food was tasty and of good quality. Great atmosphere and very relaxed. Would definitely recommend

Super pub, great new owners and a quality offering of food and drinks. Lovely food, great drinks, warm welcome. Felt really comfortable here, will be back!

We went for Sunday roast - I booked on line which is so easy. With email reminders and text confirmation - makes life easy. The greeting by the staff was welcoming and genuine. Ordering was of a good timing and drinks arrived timely even though they looked busy. The food was delicious - all of us were happy with our choices and agreed the portions were good and the food was tasty. The staff were attentive all the way through - we will be returning and hope it stays the same.

We met up with a large group of friends at the Chequers for Sunday lunch. There was a great choice of roasts and they catered for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. The food was delicious with very generous portions and amazingly for such a large group all of the food turned up at the same time. There is an excellent selection of Beers and a good wine list. The service was excellent and the staff friendly professional and attentive. It’s a very versatile pub with something for everyone, there are several small bar areas with open fires a large bar area, several different areas for food and lots of outdoor seating both at the front and in the garden.

A lovely spacious pub with friendly staff who provided good food and service. The Sunday menu is good and caters for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Will be returning soon

Visited for Sunday lunch with a big group of friends … incredible food and pulled off the trick of an impressive looking Yorkshire pud that actually tasted great too (too many pubs fail miserably at this!). Service brilliant from Nick, Jo and team. Great selection...

I had the best Sunday roast at The Chequers. I cannot fault anything about my visit today. Fantastic food, team were all warm, friendly and very welcoming. Great location, fab space (huge!!!)… I will definitely be returning.

Wonderful veggie food, great staff and beautiful venue. Here for Sunday lunch and the Walnut and carrot nut roast was super tasty and great value

Superb large pub close to Box Hill - visited when in the area cycling with friends. Excellent roast & top staff. Beers are great too. Highly recommended

Delicious Sunday Roast which was excellent value. We were a big group of friends meeting up and were served quickly and with a welcoming smile. Lovely seating spaces and snugs inside. I will definitely return in the summer as the outside areas looked amazing.

A lovely venue with both open plan and cosy areas … a welcoming atmosphere … helpful and accommodating … delicious vegetarian and meat dishes … a happy customer who will visit again

Really nice pub with excellent service and nice food. *only downside, allowing dogs to be sat on the seats*

Lovely pub and really friendly pleasant staff. Food was good, except for the prawn and crab pot starter, which was absolutely tasteless. Really nice bread with it tho!

Went in this evening with my family for New Year’s Eve, my whole family has been drinking in this establishment for over 30 years, the new manger challenged one of my family members who has a legal id from Australia (maybe staff should check the...

Food great. Service great. Atmosphere great. Not the cheapest lunch but probably due to the copious amount of wine drunk by 11 guys enjoying themselves.

Fabulous as always, great food and the service was impeccable .. LOVE The Chequers .. roll on Christmas day! The children are always welcomed and eat every single morsel of food too :-)

Whilst visiting friends , we stumbled across this great find .Apparently the owners were new to the pub . We met Nick and Jo the owners wonderful couple who made us feel extremely welcome . We sat down and had a wonderful meal. We will...

Nice location and good service, but the food was disappointing. My wife ordered the Stone Bass en Croute at £24; she got a tiny portion of fish wrapped in pastry which did not look as if it had been prepared on the premises (more like...

Certainly one of the better local pubs for comfort, service, space and quality of food. Been there three times in the last year, and good every time. Staff are friendly and helpful, and one never feels overcrowded, even at weekends and bank holidays.

Our visit to Chequers is always a pleasant experience, food delicious, service excellent, and a lovely friendly atmosphere, we have visited many times through the summer, absolutely love this place 10/10 well done to all the staff.

Great service, delightful staff, excellent food. What more do you need. The Chequers is never a disappointment.

came in for some food, was talked into having some amazing muscles by jake and erin at the bar, was a fabulous trip will definetly come again. Nice that the staff are always up for a chat and are very friendly!

A few problems with 'the pipes' which were overcome. Friendly and helpful staff. A particular word for Anthony - very helpful

Me and my partner have been here a few times and have really enjoyed it. So we decided to take the family there for fathers Day. The garden is beautiful and big, so that was not a problem. However, one of our starters did not...

Fathers Day is always going to be a busy one (hopefully). Sadly the restaurant today was pretty poor in respect of food and service. Long delays for food items missed from orders and having the chase up frequently. The staff tried hard and it’s obvious...

Superb place. Service is outstanding and the food delicious. Best roast lunch in many a year. Will be back.

Great pub with beautiful indoor and outdoor space. Met friends for lunch and although had booked an indoor table, the weather was glorious so decided to dine outdoors. What a lovely day, the outside space was superb and love the garden style rooms where you...

Really nice visit yesterday for lunch- the lamb roast was great. I've seen quite a few reviews mention poor service, which is a mystery to me- we all thought the service was excellent, as was the food. Restaurant was lovely, everything was clean and we...

Just moved into area. A very spacious and well run pub with a huge outdoor area. Been twice already. Lovely food & fast friendly service. We will all be back again soon. Thank you!

It has been a few years since we went in which time the pub has refurbished the garden and installed lodges. It was a family event with 4 adults and 3 children. We had Buttercup and it was really good and comfortable. The food was...

Eleven of us met at the Chequers for a school reunion lunch. Excellent food. Didn't get our waitresses name but the service was excellent too. We're planning to come back possibly with a larger group.

Lovely country pub but unfortunately very little choice of white wines! The ones we did end up starting with ran out when the last bottle ran out! And 2nd and 3rd choice was not available! A little strange for a pub.

This is a lovely recently refurbished pub, but it is let down by poor service. We went on a Friday night but the place was very quiet. We booked a table but really didn’t need to. Food was excellent, but spoilt by poor service especially...

First time visit to this pub and it was a special one. My 91 year old father was meeting his blood related family for the first time, connected via Ancestry and DNA. First off the Chequers looks beautiful, plenty of parking and big inside, with...

Most tastefully recently refurbished village pub. Very cosy pub, pleasant bar, selection of various dinning areas whether you prefer peace and quite or great rumbustious pub atmosphere. Varied menu catering for various wishes and desires, all dishes delightful. Full range of beers and great selection...

The staff here are so rude it’s unbelievable, it’s like they are all trained by the same person to disrespect paying customers. We went for a lunch with friends, the roast was ok but we were put off because of the attitude of the staff....

Great lunch. Pork chop fab. Really attentive, lovely guy serving us. Nice big space for the family to sit and a little one to walk around

This was our first visit. The pub is warm, comfortable and cosy; it is dog friendly. The food is very expensive but our overriding comment would be that the service was poor and slow. We asked clearly when ordering the starters chosen by 2 of...

We visited the Chequers again on Sunday evening, and were delighted that Sunday roasts were still available. Our meal was lovely, and the sticky toffee pudding was delightful. We will definitely be back!

Won’t go back, staff not interested in giving any customer service. Food was poor especially the bavette steak was tough unedible. Everyone seemed moody and unwelcoming. Definitely wouldn’t return.

Lovely pub. So welcoming, but ruined by a large group of parents with around 15 young children who came in after school (still in their uniforms) and were allowed to run around screaming, going in and out of the garden - so many times that...

Lovely Sunday afternoon dinner in a warm and welcoming pub. Everyone is welcome here. Atmosphere was friendly. Outside looks fantastic.

Booked Late for Sunday lunch. Pub very busy so booking essential. Good looking menu choice. Lemon & herb 1/2 chicken was cooked to perfection with nice vegetables, Bavette steak was very disappointing & tough to cut diner was Not impressed, Veggie option was fine No...
