Had a lovely meal at The Chequers with the family, the staff went out of their way to accommodate us even though we walked in. The pub is a small well kept county pub, with outside seating and a nice restaurant area inside. We had the lamb Sunday roast, it was very reasonably priced and delicious to boot. It was served with a large jug of gravy unlike many places we visit. The child's roast was also well cooked and well thought out. The food was clearly cooked with love and care. Over all it was a great experience and I would recommend The Chequers. Thanks for a lovely experience.

For the cost of a Sunday lunch it's worth the money, but don't expect much the meat selection four slices of paper thin beef, lamb, and what resembled a nugget size piece of chicken. The puddings where also rather expensive.

My walking group used this for a lunch. It was ok but service was very slow given all 9 of us had to pre-order. Food was not exciting but I was glad that a very large ladies group arrived after us making it very full. Useful parking. The Beers were fine and better priced than around Harpenden. The draw back is uninspired food with slow service.

Popped in here with a friend for lunch but sadly they were not serving food that day as they were catering for a funeral. We just sat in the garden with our drinks and the dogs. The garden is nice with tables nicely spaced. There is also a small car park. We only stayed for the one drink as we were getting hungry. Would go back if they were serving food.

I had some of the vegan snack pots and shared the vegan chocolate orange pudding which was all really tasty! I don’t expect vegan options at pubs so to have choices for starters, mains and desserts is amazing and everything I tried was great value! Hope to visit again soon :)

Everything was so tasty being freshly cooked & well presented. Not local to the area, but would certainly come again when passing.

We had a really delicious lunch at this friendly welcoming village pub a couple of days ago. We had not booked but could choose a table in the garden or inside. Really good varied menu, with home cooked dishes. We chose a toasted cheese and red onion sandwich, choice of bakery style bread plenty of filling served with steak style chips and very tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

A great restaurant and pub. The landlords are great people who are active both in the pub and in the community. The Chequers will often host village events. My favourite part about the restaurant is that they have a pen of chickens in their garden and they use their eggs to make fresh omelettes.

Arrived here after trying to revisit my youth and take my wife back to a pub I used to frequent Only to find out it's now a country store!.. more info another time. However stopped here to grab a drink and ended up staying for a couple. On our arrival the landlord was on the phone and carried on the conversation politely whilst taking our orders. However after seating ourselves in the garden with our drinks he came over to us directly and immediately apologised for any slight caused. He had been on the phone to his Regional Manager discussing renovations and we had arrived at a particularly crucial part. Firstly I had taken no affront to him carrying on a telephone conversation sporadically whilst serving me but secondly and more importantly to immediately apologise showed such a concern for customers that we will be back. Plus the Ale and lager available are great. Also there is a chicken run and coup in the garden and a barrel of water for patron's dogs. Lovely village setting with the church just across the road and really great guy.

Pre-booked for a group of 7 for Sunday lunch and table was ready for us when we arrived. As well as the Sunday Roasts, there was plenty of other choice on the menu and so we ordered a mixture of roasts and mains between us. All were promptly served and as we were all hungry, the sizeable portions were well welcomed! The food didn’t disappoint, every one said how enjoyable their meals were. My partner and I had the gammon roast and he said it was probably the best roast he’s had in a pub! Despite being full, we couldn’t resist pudding after seeing others order and again, the chocolate brownie sundae was lovely. The staff were brilliant, attentive and a friendly service all round. I would definitely recommend The Chequers, it’s a great place to eat or just have a drink. It’s five stars from us - thank you!

We arranged to meet friends here on Sunday as it was midway for both of us. I had prebooked a table, Claire rang me on Sat to adv they were fully booked Sunday & would we like to pre book our meals ( which I thought was a nice touch). Arrived 2 hours before the booking in order to have drinks & a good catch up. Staff & locals were very friendly, the decent sized beer garden is also nice. My friend had decided what starter he was having 24hrs earlier, however it was not on the Sunday menu, not a problem, the barman asked the chef & hey presto the nachos arrived. The Sunday lunch was gorgeous, proper home cooked & 3 of us managed to fit in a pudding. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, in a friendly proper (non chain pub) with friends & gorgeous food, only thing is we don’t live local as would be here a lot more. Well done everyone keep up the good work

Nice pub, but slow beyond all reason. Arrived with two hungry children for a late Saturday lunch. The pub was practically empty but it took 45 minutes for them to serve up two plates of curly fries, by which time the kids were absolutely screaming for food. The adult food came even later, and one plate at a time, with long gaps in between each one, with the last plate appearing nearly an hour after we ordered. And no apology at any point. Sad thing is that the food was, when in eventually arrived, really nice.

It started well with a good selection on the menu. When we came to order our breakfast sandwiches my friend asked how much it would be to add an egg to her bacon sandwich, at which point the waitress advised that the prices on the menu had increased so weren't correct & could only say they had gone up by about 50p. On asking for a sparkling water she advised that had also gone up by 20p maybe 30p, these increases were due to the cost of living increase. When we questioned why the menus hadn't been updated she advised there were new owners & it hadn't been done yet but that there was a sign on the wall inside the shop advising of the price increase, we were sat outside but to be honest anyone entering the shop wouldn't have seen it as it would have been behind them. She then brought out the A4 sign. She also tried to find an updated menu which she couldn't find. Firstly I am sure this must be illegal to advertise one price & charge another & secondly a hand written note could have been added to the menu or a copy of the price increase attached to the menu which everyone would have seen. Maybe the new owners should hold fire on the price increase until new menus are available as it may save their reputation. The breakfast sandwiches were very tasty, however the 'glass' that accompanied the sparkling water was in fact a jar with a thread for a screw top. Some might call it funky but not to everyone's taste. Needless to say it wasn't used. There are standards which have to be met & the clear advertising of correct pricing is one of them. We are all effected by the cost of living crisis & on occasions when we do our bit to support local businesses we might be watching the pennies too.
