Learn from our mistake and ask to see the wine menu before you order. Bottle of pinot grigio rose at Portmeirion fine dining restaurant £28.50, at the Chequers £34.00! On the bill it said it was a Cote de Provence which I would happily pay £34.00 for if I'd ordered it. Did query it but was told that though said it it was a cote du Provence it was the correct price for the pinot grigio rose. We enjoyed our food though it was slightly overpriced for what we got. It was a case of spot the shavings of goats cheese on the special starter, which was also underwhelming in terms of flavour. The chicken pie itself was delicious but it was a very dry plate of food and really needed a little jug of gravy to pour over the mashed potato and veg. The crispy gnocchi isn't gnocchi, more like mini potato croquettes however, it was delicious. The atmosphere in the pub was good and overall so was the service.

I ordered a scallop and mussel starter. Quite expensive but I love scallops and mussels. Unfortunately whilst the scallops were delicious, the mussels were non existent. When I queried this the waitress said the chef had put mussel sauce on the scallops. Well a) there was no sauce on the scallops and b) the menu said creamy mussels not creamy mussel sauce. When queried with the owner she said they would take it off the menu. I was grateful that she didn't charge me for my starter. However I would have preferred to pay and get what I was promised. My husband's chicken terrine was ok but barely more than a mouthful. The roast dinner was ok. Nothing special. The selection of seasonal veg turned out to be a dessertspoonful of cabbage. Very poor. We won't be returning. UPDATE: Today I see the pub have replied to my review. I did not lie. The menu said scallop and creamy mussels. Not scallops and creamy mussel sauce and no there was no mussel sauce. Why say she would remove it from the menu if I was incorrect. And yes I did eat the starter I said the scallops were delicious so why wouldn't I eat it. There were no leeks or kale on the dessertspoon of cabbage and the roasted carrot and parsnip were listed on menu not part of selection of seasonal veg. I am dumbfounded that the owner has lied saying we were offered a complimentary drink. Thst most certainly wasnt us. Lying about customers is not the way forward in my opinion.

The couple who have just taken over The Chequers are wonderful! We turned up on Sunday eve hoping to break our long drive with a drink and park up in our van - but found it closed. (At present closed Sunday evenings through to midday Wednesday). They came out to say hello and insisted we park, asking where we’d been etc. The pub looks delightful and we’ll definitely stopover again and have a meal. Thank you for being so welcoming.

We called for a quick lunch and what a great choice. We both had the burger which was superb, the chips were ready seasoned and the side salad was a fresh delight. I had a desert off the specials board which was, warm lemon & vanilla madeleines with maserated strawberries and frozen clotted cream. A super meal with friendly & efficient staff. Recommended.

Had a really delicious Sunday dinner today and have been coming here for years, always happy with the food and service. Was a little disappointed as we asked for some gravy with our meal (as there wasn't much on the plate) and a small jug arrived which cost £1.50 which seemed a bit mean.

We live locally and went because we had been told about the new Menu. The new owners have given the place a lick of paint but otherwise it is still the familiar Fullers pub. The food for dinner is a much more gastro fare now and really good. We had both the Scallop and the Beetroot starters, followed by Gnocchi and the Pork Belly for mains and ate so well we had to share the chocolate delice pudding!. A really delicious meal, in this lovely country pub. We really liked what the new 'owners' are trying to do and would recommend as the chefs obviously know how to cook. The chatty staff mentioned they are doing a sort of tapas / lite bight lunch menu as well - will pop in to try at some point.

Been to this pub many times over the last few months, but visited today as new management had taken over. How disappointing!!! Shown to table & was left wasn't even asked if we wanted a drink & for a pub doing Sunday lunch there was no aroma of a roast being cooked. When we eventually ordered, we ordered 2 beef roasts. Table of 4 had their food just before us and they all complained that the food was luke warm & ours came out exactly same....luke warm. When we all complained the lady who I assume was new manager blamed it on the doors being open & a breeze blowing through & this is why the food was not hot! Definitely won't be going back!!

Well had been going here for a while with the old owners running it so thought we would try this again when it reopened , booked by phone for table of two as Web site says its closed but knew it was open anyhow , 1 person serving drinks behind the bar took 5 mins before we were spoken to explained we had booked a table and shown to our table where upon were given a bottle of water not asked if we would like a drink from the bar , took another 15 minutes before they returned and asked if we were ready to order food and drinks which we did as it being a Sunday thought make it simple were both have roast beef dinner and vegetables, approximately 20 min later people next to us were moaning ,then our food turned up both plates full of food including the veg and meat was stone cold on our table also the table next to us food was cold , they said it was due to the front door of the pub being open and a draught going straight through into the kitchen, as I've sat at many place in the pub and had lots of meals there before and never had a problem with food before there including a party of over 20 people, if you going there it's expensive £5 for a sausage roll £22 for roast beef for this I would like food to be hot when it arrives at the table , yes they did offer us a free drink if we stayed and they tired again but time was not on our side ps not sure when you cooked the food as there was no smell of food coming from the kitchen only thing we could hear was cook shouting food was ready going to be awhile before I venture back and that will probably only be for a drink

Stopped for a bit to eat . I chose the hand carved ham egg and chips and my wife the brie and bacon baguette. Both dishes when they arrived were to die for. On my plate the were two very large thick slices of ham off the bone with two fried eggs and double cooked chips. The baguette with a generous filling of bacon and brie. Simply amazing and would recommend for anybody to call in and sample their food. Bill Hemmings.

Rang up before I came to make sure it wasn't booked up. Was told it wasn't busy..Their was several tables available but 6 men waiting to be served at the bar...& only one lady serving behind the bar! My son was getting inpatient and we were all starving. We got bored of waiting after less than 5 mins and left! Not the first time when this has happened! I don't understand how this place is still running. They may as well shut down! Clearly still under poor management with hardly any staff! Won't be going back here again after 2nd attempt! AVOID

The pub managed to deliver a culinary experience that made one nostalgic for the nuanced flavours of a McDonald's, yet at a price point that suggested a misplaced decimal or perhaps a jest at our expense, serving as a stark reminder that patience, and not flavour, was the afternoon's speciality.

Really disappointed. I was looking forward to the GF options but ended up with a totally tasteless meal. Processed fake meat in a gluten free roll with chips. The “salad” was lettuce and a two hard slices of tomato. Took an hour to come as there was only one chef which we weren’t told when we came ordered it was only mentioned when I asked how long the food would be (after 45mins) Service was unfriendly. Definitely would not go again.

Hospitality felt like that of home. Brilliant service by lovely young people, an hospitable kind friendly host, and truly excellent food. I had roast beef. Succulent and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals. And pricing very fair for such excellent food and service. Pub marked by us all as get-at-able for future meeting up. Thankyou all so much team.

I ordered basic burger, minus house sauce and pickle, the bottom half of the bun was wet from the lettuce, there was bacon in the bun that was not on the menu, the coleslaw was tasteless and warm, had not been kept in a fridge, the chips were served in a cold pot, so most were wasted, after biting down on a second bit of bone in the burger I gave up eating. To add insult to injury I was over charged for the meal.

Was so busy we had a table just out of the way and seemed to be left to our own devices Took our drink order rather fast (great stuff) Then took our food order and there ends the fast service we had received so far Almost an hour later 😴 and the landlord came across and said the chef is preping our food And will be with us very soon 3 tables later (all of which came in 30 mins after us) we finally got our food This is why I've reflected the ratings as so Don't think we will call again as this was quite distressing for our child Not value for the money due yo all the waiting and no offer of any reduction in cost due to the wait

Pub was a bit chilly but food was nice. Glad to see two vegetarian options on the Sunday lunch menu so I didn’t have to eat the dreaded nut roast that is normally the only option everywhere! Really lovely veggie Wellington, and every other plate of food that my family ordered looked great. Drinks were a bit slow and had to go up to bar to order our own as servers taking too long to come to table. Lots of dogs in the pub but they were well behaved and though it was a bit chilly, there were blankets in a corner with a “please borrow one” sign. Waiters and bar man were all nice.

Our dog was made very welcome as well which made our visit even better. The ONLY criticism was the price charged for a bottle of Peroni Zero, which was charged at £4.50 a bottle. This seems to be way too much for a small bottle of non alcoholic lager!! Aside from this one thing we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely visit again when next in the area. 🌞
