The Chequers in Milton Keynes

Lovely old fashioned pub, friendly staff, great selection of beers, ciders and wine.

10 chips 2 button mushrooms and a 1/4 tomato garnished the worst questionable ribeye steak I have ever been served. The waitress sore the dilemma as she took my plate and said it happens sometimes and walked away, she obviously didn't care.

We heard the Sunday dinners here were very good (bookable in advance, only), so we booked ahead. We received an email requesting that we confirm our choice of meat, we chose beef, and turned up just ahead of our reservation time. When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly barman (possibly Landlord) who showed us to our table. The pub was all decked out for the England football, and everyone was very nice. There isn't much to it. It's two rooms and a bar, but I don't see that as a negative. My wife chatted to the landlady, and it appears to be a family business, with all the family living on site. Our food arrived and there was a lot of it, for £11.95 each we were very surprised. The drinks were very reasonably priced, too. Once we'd eaten, we both waddled out the door very happy. We will definitely be back at some point. It's a great find and we thoroughly recommend it.

We had a lovely dinner and drinks outside with kids in the sun. Great food great space and great service.

We had lunch, a group of 6. The welcome and service was great. The food is good honest pub food. Well presented and plenty of it for really reasonable prices.

A fabulous Sunday roast with family and friends, amazing staff, generous portions...definitely the best roast in the area, highly recommended 👍

What a lovely warm welcome from a lovely village pub. 3 of us were on a drive today & saw this pub ( dad thought he may have been here before but not for many years). Had lovely lunch stake baguettes & a cheese sandwich in our order came with skinny chips. Couldn’t fault anything. Would recommend.

Great beer great food very reasonable prices

The best PUB in Milton Keynes, staff are friendly food and beer are great and very well priced!!

A lovely little pub with very reasonable prices. A true locals boozer

Great pub! Good value food you won’t go hungry! Plus well kept beers, the Carlsberg here is the best in town🍺

I love this pub! If you want a traditional pub, with well kept beer, massive portions of pub grub, and friendly locals, this place is for you. If you don’t, there’s another one right around the corner

Great pub, Guinness is great. Food is spot on for quality and value!! Amazing family run pub for legends!!

We had a very good lunch on Sunday We were warmly welcomed by our hosts and had a very generous meal ,had a decent bottle of wine and sat by a lovely logfire for a brandy and liquors Very competitife price We will go aga believe the competitife price Enjoyed it will definitely go again

Christ… what on earth was that? We’ve been visiting a friend near the village and decided to stop off in the chequers. The first red flag was when we were told to avoid drinking their Calsburg?! Dirty glasses, food was oily & off putting, the environment was also off putting. It’s a shame they put no pride in to their inside or outside, it has the potential to be really nice. It’s cheap because everything is low quality & done poorly. Having ‘chequers belly’ is a phase used which makes me wonder how sanitary things are in the food making area. To top it off, I'm certain they are serving underage guests, no more than 16 I would say.

Lovely generous meal and well worth the price. Very friendly hosts and helpful staff.

Beer was fine but soft drinks were horrible & glass was dirty

Love this pub, very friendly and courteous staff

TypicalVillage pub pleasent staff

My family and I went for sunday roast. It was brilliant 😁 we had a choice of 3 different meats ( chicken, lamb and beef ) they were lovely big portions absolutely gorgeous veg and a lot of it beautiful meat and the most stunning roast potatoes I have ever eaten. Overall blooming delicious great value for money wonderful staff and fantastic atmosphere. I would suggest to anyone and everyone to go and check them out 😊

Great Sunday dinner and the best local Pub we cod ask for!

Ridiculous. Went in for a quiet drink. Sat in the empty lounge. Was warned by the landlady that a crowd came in later so moved to the almost empty public bar. The crowd came in. About 30 if them and filled the lounge. All young people with no masks or social distancing. Pubs have only got themselves to blame for getting shut down during lockdown. This pub should be shut permanently.

Covid secure! Loverly village pub with loads of charm, good selection of beers, unbelievable pub food with frightening portion control (none!). Sunday meals need to be pre booked but all freshly made to order. A unique pub which you will revisit without a doubt Highly recommended.

Best pub in north crawley if not the world.

Great friendly pub! Amazing food! Everything was cooked to perfection! Certainly will be back again!!!

I’m so happy I found Chequers reviews on Google. In the 70’s my Cousin Fred Cheshire used to be the publican with his wife Linda. Living in Canada, things are different here. Dogs aren’t allowed, the pub doesn’t close to send the spouses home for supper and gives the pub a chance to clean up before opening again for the evening. Don’t know if pubs still do that? I got totally beat by a guy who threw featherlight darts with his mouth, you read right, mouth. Found out I can’t pull a draught to save my life, but everyone loved my 1-1/2 oz shots, (except Fred). Saw a dog that only drank Guinness. We had a lot of fun here, great people, good times. Lost contact with Fred, if anyone who knew him, maybe you help me find him.

A traditional village pub, warm welcome from the landlord, two real ales on big in good condition.

Felt excluded by locals crowding the door

A great local pub. Such a great landlord and landlady

Good beer, no food but worth a visit.

By far my favourite pub in Milton Keynes if not the whole of England. Prices are very good and the atmosphere is exceptional. Great place to spend an evening

good old fashioned pub good beer kept well
