The Chequers at Brize Norton in West Oxfordshire

A very disappointing birthday meal, although the restaurant was not too busy, the beer garden was and so the place was woefully under-staffed. Putting aside the long time it took to order, having ordered 8 meals, only four arrived…the other four were not cooked at the same time OMG; as they were on a different piece of paper 🤷‍♂️ To add insult the waitress service was subpar, as though she wasn’t interested. All in all after going there for over 20 years, we shall be taking our trade elsewhere from now on.

Mother’s Day lunch. Arrived 10 mins early, sat down and ate. Whilst I was eating, a server came up asked if she could take the other empty plates, as I was still eating. No very good manners. The person justified this by saying that they had 3 sittings today and wanted to clear tables. That’s dreadful practise. After we’d finished the mains, another server came along and asked what we wanted for pudding and struggled to recite the menu board. When we’ve been previously, the server has brought the menu board over. Comments: 1) I work in Hospitality and know how tough present times are, however don’t sacrifice your reputation for short term profit. 2) Train your staff. I would have come and spoken to a manager, however it was clear that the restaurant was organised chaos today, as opposed to a well oiled machine. Thank you.

Amazing Sunday Lunch, couldn’t fault it. One of the best Roast dinners I’ve had. Friendly and helpful staff. Caters for all. Lovely garden for kids to play. Real value for money. I will definitely be going back

Fabulous Sunday lunch with friends The roast beef was excellent Lots of vegetables Proper home cooked roast potatoes and really tasty gravy Excellent atmosphere Highly recommend

Whole family - 8 plus a 11 month baby. Had an amazing Roast dinner. The meat was GORGEOUS Still thinking about it Will definitely be back

Great food and plenty of choice. Kind friendly staff. Really enjoyed our visit.

My wife regularly raves about the cajun chicken wraps in this pub so I finally gave in. Wow. Really very nice. Packed full to bursting with chicken, peppers, mushrooms, cheese and very tasty. The pub also does my favourite cider (Aspall) so it was a great lunch.

Nice food, good service, staff are always welcoming and friendly.

Called in on Sunday lunchtime in the hope of a roast. We were made to feel very welcome and accommodated. There was a great atmosphere and the roast was incredible. Great portions and a fabulous selection of vegetables. All of the staff that we spoke to were so friendly. Thank you 😊.

Lovely meal, great friendly service

We had a booking which included 9 young kid; the staff were exceptionally accommodating and helpful in catering to our group and ensuring the kids had a good time as well

Brilliant Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings. Great service, friendly welcome! Thank you for having all 11 us us!

Christmas Dinner at the Chequers,🎄🎈🎉 absolutely amazing. Meats were cooked perfectly as always. It was all just perfect, especially the choc fudge cake 😋😋 thank you xx

Great venue great staff loved the food. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable of what they can offer

Third year for Christmas Lunch. 6 of us had a great meal. The Turkey and ham were excellent,, and and plenty of it. All in all an excellent meal. We'll done everyone concerned.

Great Christmas dinner, just little wait on puddings.

Visited with friends and we all brought children! Pub could not have been more accommodating considering we all had children ‘on mass’. Lots of kids toys and food was great! Thanks for a lovely afternoon

Food was cold and very little of it

Went here with a works Christmas party, all I can say is it was awful, the size was so small, not a lot of anything, what was worse it was served with one, yes one Brussel sprout cut in half, four slices of carrot, three roast potatoes, no green veg at all, staff were not very happy either, the dessert was just as bad, and they expect customers to pay 35 pounds for 2 course meal, I would have been embarrassed sending this out, my friend gave me her potatoes as she does not like roast, no other choice

Had a lovely meal: I had the beef cheeks and cheese board and would have both again! It was nice and cosy in there and had friendly staff. Only small things were carrots were a bit al-dente for me and not the best grapes, otherwise faultless.

Went to the Halloween party with my family, the children loved apple bobbing, cake decorating, all the arts and crafts for free! My little boy played for ages in the toy area and my daughter got a snake painted on her arm! Busy but fun atmosphere, quick service and the friendly staff worked very hard to make sure everyone had an enjoyable night.

Really disappointed. Menu changed . Prices gone up - a lot. Quality gone down - a lot. Had 3 meals. Chips overcooked on all of them as was chicken fillet. The gammon steak was as thin as a slice of ham . None of us finished or enjoyed our meals . We wont b returning which is a shame as wed always enjoyed our meals there b4.

Lovely family lunch here the other day. Fish and chips better than by the sea! Perfectly crispy non greasy batter lovely fish and the chips just how I like them all served with peas and tartar sauce. Lovely atmosphere and deco we will be visiting again soon.

In case you were thinking of taking the pooch, this pub is not dog friendly. Only allowed in the garden.🙄

Having visited here previously on numerous occasions for Business lunches we were shocked to see a change in menu especially when the food arrived which at best was poor. Overcooked chicken that had been deep fried, normally chicken fillet, skinny fries rather than gastro chips and an extremely thick sauce which wasn't pourable. Of the 4 meals that we had only 2 of them were anything similar to previous quality and meals coming out at different times was extremely poor and mean that dishes were going cold. Sadly our business is going to be moving elsewhere as we cant afford to be spending good money on poor quality food. This dishes are far from the normal and do not reflect the price pain.

Very nice food good service definitely worth it

Amazing place lovely atmosphere and amazing food well done guys

Great staff and great atmosphere. Especially impressed with shanice, very friendly and will definitely be coming back

Myself and my family have been visiting this pub for 20 years. Has always been fantastic. Great food menu with changing specials and an amazing Sunday Carvery. Perfect for all the family and very friendly staff. Really reccomend!

Came in after my nans funeral for a family meal, it was beautiful. My daughter played on all the toys in the garden, and me and my family all sat and enjoyed a lovely meal. Food was great- love the new menu!!! Staff were fab and very lovely. Will definitely be returning. Xx

Beautiful food & amazing customer service! Definitely will return!

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Staff are very polite

First time visiting The Chequers and so glad we did.. Food was just what we needed after a long drive the service was quick and the staff so friendly will be returning very soon 😊

Regular here with the kids. Cannot fault , good variety of food and friendly staff!

Came in after my nans funeral for a family meal, the staff were great, the food was lovely, lovely new menu! My daughter played outside with all the toys, it’s a great family pub with really nice food!

Great for drinks friendly staff and nice atmosphere, really felt welcome here and I always enjoy coming here either with my kids or my partner

Great place to let the kids play while you get something to eat in peace. Food price is on the higher side but the lunch time deal is good value for money. It is the most kid friendly place locally and make it our top...

The staff are so lovely and welcoming. Perfect service couldn’t fault it. Food came quick and was hot and really nice. Lovely atmosphere and great for kids

What a brilliant pub, service and food was first class , would recommend to anyone and will definitely be going again.

We visited today, we have been before and it was wonderful, the food and the toys for the kids in the garden used to be brilliant, but today the beef was chewy, we had to get another plate to put it on as we couldn’t swallow it. They did bring us over some more beef that was a much better cut. The rest of the food was really tasty and the staff are lovey. After we’d eaten we went out to the garden so the kids could play. It is all run down and end everything needs a referb. All the the kids ride on toys were broken/ damaged, no maintenance had been done. The benches at the table had slats of wood missing so couldn’t sit down. The parasols were broken so we couldn’t use them. The football table was coned off so they couldn’t play there either. The place is run down and needs freshening up in my opinion. It used to be wonderful. It’s a shame as it used to be amazing there.

Lovely roast with two lovely pints. The staff are always very friendly. It was very busy

Four adults & two children came to your pub today It was a treat from our daughter for our fortieth Anniversary We were all looking forward to a roast lunch My daughter & hubby had beef Very stringy I had turkey Quite grey meat Son in law had gammon & pork He liked the gammon The children had pork Roast potatoes we think were frozen Carrots raw Yorkies frozen Gravy weak All in all not the best roast Lacking in flavour We were all still hungry so decided to have a dessert My daughter asked the waitress if the sticky toffee pudding had nuts in The waitress went to check Came back & said it doesn't say on the box Box ?? Not freshly made ? The sticky toffee pudding & chocolate brownie again were bland Also the waitress wasn't dressed appropriately Off white vest top showing too much & ripped jeans Yet others were dressed mostly in black When my daughter went to pay she said about the food but as the pub was busy the waitress wasn't really listening We are all disappointed Oh & hungry

Myself , Justin and arash came to this pub and had bad service. We do not no who she is talking about in this comment. Crazy place

First of all I have nothing to do with this person ,I am from Germany visiting RAF base ,next what are you accusing me of ....who are you and who do you think you are ,to all people this place is over priced and not good for one min of your time stay away ,I sent a review this what I get STAY AWAY

Visited this week (Tuesday) for a friend's meet up and picked it purely on location. Was worried given the recent poor feedback from people but decided to give it a go. The reception from the manager was warm and he actually let us in a...

Avoid this place at all costs. Awful food and awful staff. The place is a health hazard. Half cooked food coming out of the kitchen, Broken toys and unfriendly staff.

It was a great atmosphere lots of kind people and I feel it was a very good service

Having eaten here 4 years ago I expected much better, but this place has really gone downhill. All the soft dinks on draught were flat, and none of the staff were able to resolve the issue. Only alternatives were cans of diet coke or rio for £2 each. Food took 45 minutes to come out and we were the only people in there, and was served to adults before children! None of the burgers looked very appetising, but they were big portions. The slow cooked beef cheeks however were a tiny portion for £20, and the meat was overcooked, served with a spoonful of mash and some undercooked veg. When given the final bill we thought it was too much, but the lady insisted it was correct (the receipt was not itemised, but she wrote down the prices of items for me). Once home I looked in more detail and found they had charged us for an extra meal! I did get an apology on the phone, and told to come back to get the money back, which I did. The lady who gave the refund, however, gave no apology at all for us having been overcharged. I would not go back there again.

Carvery lunch. We have been a few times over the past few years, unfortunately this time would probably be our last. Veg nice but could have been a bit warmer, meat portion very small. Roast potatoes soggy and not crispy. Slow to bring out replacement veg when empty.

Went here for carvery with family and the beef still had a heart beat .gravy an peas was stone cold food was terrible won't be visiting here again .

The food is average at best I would not recommend it the burger was tasteless the staff rude this pub definitely needs a refurb Until then I won’t be coming back

This is our local pub and we’d really like to support it, but on 4 out of 6 visits recently we have been served undercooked food. Yet to have a properly cooked burger. Not worth the prices I’m afraid. You’re better off taking a trip...

A great pub for the family, as a family we often call in on a Sunday for the Calvary, can’t fault the food but you do feel a little bit intimate whilst eating, it’s like having Christmas dinner in a old people’s home.

Been visiting for over 40 years

We came here today as a table of 9 (walk in) and were so happy we managed to get a table on a bank holiday Monday but it was downhill from there.The food we had was nice although quite expensive but the thing that put...

Fantastic service friendly team

Wow what a great pub, especially if you have little ones. Lots of toys and play equipment. Food was great and the staff were so friendly. Will definitely be back.

It's a great local pub, for simple food, drinks and to relax with family & friends. Very friendly staff. Garden is nice and big with lots of toy and play area for children which is why we love it.

Nice food! Big garden for kids to play in. Would visit again.

Lovely friendly family pub iI eat here often and have never had a bad meal would highly recommend accomdates children amazing big garden with play stuff and indoors has a play station

AWFUL FOOD! Avoid at all cost if you want nice food. Way over priced for what you get I order a chorizo and jalapeño burger, chorizo was a couple of cheap slices out of a packet no jalapeño at all on there. 2 chunky lumps...

Stopped here yesterday for some food, got a half cooked burger and chips burnt to a crisp which the kids didn’t even touch! Absolutely disgusting raised my issue to which they agreed could clearly see the burger was undone and chips were basically oil paid £14 for the burger and £5.50 for each kids meal was given £5 refund! Extremely disappointing for a nice country pub def avoid if ur looking for some good food!

I just wanted to tell you that myself and my family left tonight and had to go sainsbury to buy food as yours was horrendous. Raw burgers raw chips burnt roll under cooked bacon cold gammon and again raw chips. All the toys broken. How...

Great value for money good menu choice for all. Good service for both food & drink. Great garden good for all ages

Fabulous Sunday lunch with friends The roast beef was excellent Lots of vegetables Proper home cooked roast potatoes and really tasty gravy Excellent aero Highly recommend

Had a roast here on Sunday with the family. Lovely food, great for for kids, great size portions. Definitely will be revisiting

Great place for kids. Had a bouncy castle on and toys for all ages inside and out! Food was a good variety and efficient service

4.2 stars? How can this be? Chain kitchen pub, rundown appearance, unfriendly staff. I've eaten worse places, but don't be deceived by this place's rating.

Food terrible. Kids menu is a few overdone chips with a ropey burger or sausages with no veg. I went for the Caesar salad special. Received 3 small strips of chicken, skin still on, on top of a few leaves of salad clearly straight out of a bag, places on top of a sea of caesar sauce. Unacceptable

First impressions not great needs a bit more attention to details, menus need to be refreshed so tatty worn and torn a d faded only paper print outs replace would look better, pictures hanging off the wall, toilets well disgusting dirty toilet had number 2...

Would have given 5 stars but frozen chips cost 1 star.

A beautiful family establishment. Totally recommend this pub

Stopped here one evening on our way back to our old home. Had a great meal, clean and welcoming room, and very friendly staff.

Many years since I was last here was always a popular friendly place but not today it seems. Food didn't dissapoint. But Bar maid was thoroughly miserable and unfriendly. Felt like we were a nuisance to her. A smile wouldn't have hurt. Threw menus down infront of us without a word or any eye contact Plonked the drinks down spilling some. Obviously she was having a bad day .Bathrooms hadn't been cleaned in a while. Won't be returning. Shame as food was nice

This is a lovely place to eat and socialise staff always friendly and courtious, food delicious. Nice and clean especially the toilets, we have moved away, when we visit family we always come back for a meal

Asked for a small glass of wine 125ml and told they only do 175ml pointed out that by law they have to serve 125ml barmaid was good and did a 125ml, worrying that pubs still try to sell more especially for people driving

Needs to be warmer we were very cold. Didn’t stay for pudding as it was too cold in there. Haven’t been back since.

Lush food, decent atmosphere, amazing beer garden lots of place for summer!

I took my mother and son for Sunday roast. Staff were really friendly and the food was delicious and at a great price. It is a family pub with lots of toys inside and outside for the kids. Great value for money. Lovely atmosphere

Went for a carvery Meat was lovely! Probably the best I’ve had for a long time The service let it down and has put us off going again

Good selection of food and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere with a kids play area.

Went for the Sunday lunch, all very good, nice meats and veg, pity roast pots and parsnips were not done properly but still very nice

Went to this pub and they had Sunday carvery also they had vegetarian option they food on carvery was delicious and if they were low on carvery plate they would replace food food was very delicious and great service great value for money

The food and service was terrible, no eye contact at the point of ordering and paying, we should have left when we noticed mcdonalds food on the bar and watching the staff eat it in full display for all to see, One of our orders was BLT on granary what turned was not granary with the smallest peice of chicken oh and slapped together, children's meal was butchers sausages these were not and have never seen a butchers, my burger was horrific left my in pain later that night, when the food was delivered the waitress dropped some onion rings on the floor didn't pick them up and walked off without offering to replace, asking for tomato sauce and mayonnaise was made to feel like we such demanding customers and this request took 5 minutes. To be honest such a shame as it wasn't cheap either won't be going back, just hope this honest feedback helps others.

Nice atmosphere considering the occasion. Thankyou for hosting.

Had a lovely birthday meal for approximately 20 of us the food was beautiful will definitely be going back staff very helpful

Won't be going back. 3 days off sick I will never get back

Hate Xmas dinner here after coming here regularly! Staff were great and carvery were lovely also a kids play area which mine loved

The pub was freezing cold when we arrived at 12.00. Bear in mind that we had two over 80s and. 3 week old baby in our family group. The bar staff reluctantly turned on the heating which was totally antiquated and inadequate. We were a...

Had a really great Christmas Lunch. Food and service very good.

The best Sunday roast/Carvery in the area!

The chicken supreme was very very good absolutely loved the sauce!! Unfortuantly the chocolate fudge cake was very dry and had the cheapest vanilla ice cream to accompany it. I would go back just not for the pudding.

Excellent Christmas Lunch for Our MS Society Group. Been using the Chequers for over 15 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Well done The Chequers. 👏 Happy Christmas.

An amazing Sunday lunch at The Chequers in Brize Norton. Carvery for 5 people. Everything spot on. Only downside was no room for dessert. Very friendly and helpful staff. Plus an excellent coffee too. First time there and will definitely be back. 5 happy people. Thanks. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

What is there not to like about this place. Each visit is better and better. For a small village to have such an attraction is credit to the staff for their hard work and the owner who goes above and beyond to please you. Great...

Friendly staff, good selection of drinks and wonderful food. Would recommend highly. Good garden for the summer time and some good events on

Fantastic roast dinner as always.

Excellent service, great food, highly recommended

Very nice food pleasant staff thank you

My chequers burger was rather over done. Very crunchy on the outside and dry on the inside. The garden could do with some TLC and also some lighting as a child was playing outside and ran into an exposed metal bar
