Can’t comment on rooms as have only been for lunch and supper. The service is exceptional as is the food. Always consistent. Been there so many times and can honestly say I have never had a bad meal.

Just wow! Stumbled across this place needing to stay overnight near Oxford and we have found a gem. Food was next level and they really know what they are doing. Hotel accommodation sweet and hospitable.

Chequers was recommended to me and it didn't disappoint. We visited for a birthday meal and it was lovely. The service was great and the food and cocktails were delightful. I'm looking forward to visiting this lovely pub again soon.

I have just spent three nights here as a solo traveller. The staff were beyond lovely. From the moment I arrived they were so warm and welcoming and Kim really looked after me during my stay. The breakfast was delicious and the eggs were cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend the place to anyone.

We have just returned from a 2 day stay. It was first class accommodation and the food was superb. Thank you to Steve, Maddi and the team for such a welcoming break. It's 5 stars from us all round.

Nice room, but really dusty.minimal cleaning between guests I feel. Food service was quick and efficient. But the 2 star overall rating was due to food produce quality relivent to price point. Banger's and mash for £17, with the richmond style sausages. £40 for two cooked breakfasts with only slightly better ingredients than wetherspoons. This vastly needs improvement .

We visited The Chequers last September and booked a deluxe room which advertised Prosecco on arrival which we didn’t receive. We assumed this was our mistake as there were mini bottles in the fridge. Upon arrival this year again we didn’t receive the prosecco advertised so decided to ask after breakfast the following morning and we were told not to take the miniatures as we would be charged but our query would be discussed with management. We heard nothing and again mentioned it the next day on check out, and received the same answer. The rooms at the Chequers are lovely and the high ceilings and exposed beams are a nice feature. Our room (1) had some paint tester patches on the wall which seemed strange but I’d guess they are looking to redecorate. The only negative would be that you can hear everything outside and the gravel driveway doesn’t help that. There was also a wash cloth left in the bathroom by housekeeping and areas of the room were quite dusty. The service and quality of breakfast was excellent too. I would recommend staying here but it’s slightly frustrating for something to be advertised and not received on 2 occasions.

We had lunch here. Tasty, well-cooked food at reasonable price. Bar was a bit noisy so we sat outside. Excellent service.

We spent two wonderful nights here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food was delicious! We highly recommend the Berkshire lamb rump, the Cauliflower steak and The Burcot Breakfast (especially the scrambled egg!). The room was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. We were so impressed by the fantastic customer service, from the phone call when we booked with the manager, to our arrival (chilled Prosecco and glasses in our room) and then a special anniversary brownie and card at dinner. Highly recommend this for an overnight or short break.

We ate here last night. Food was incredible as was the service. Friendly and welcoming staff and great menu. Bit on the pricey side but with the quality of the food it didn't feel like we were being ripped off. Definitely recommend.

Kitchen was wonderful and those meals for 3 were impeccable! Kitchen is extremely clean, I saw the team clean the kitchen more than 9 times! Best ever restaurant! 🇧🇷 This restaurant was an excellent experience from beginning to end! The kitchen is impeccable and the team sanitized the place nine times!

Absolutely delicious meal. Unfortunately I was so ravenous I didn’t pause to take any photos but I highly recommend the pork belly bites, scotch egg, calamari, venison burger (really fantastic), perfectly fried fries, broccoli pea and cabbage side. Rhubarb crumble was also superb. Nice surprise was that they had an English white wine on the menu (from Devon) which was quite unusual worth a taste. Service friendly with helpful recommendations. Dogs welcome too!

Room was beautiful and clean, smelt of fresh linen. Being a bit of a clean freak this made me really happy. Great room faculties and not that far from the centre of Oxford. We eat here twice and each time the food was delicious, so no complaints at all. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Had been wanting to try this pub for quite a while but sadly it didn't live up to the hype. The starter was really salty and the roast wasn't value for money. Won't be going back.

Friendly, happy staff. Just what you need on a well earned venture day out , restaurant was very cosy, lights and flowers on the ceiling, down to the food, well I would say it was worth every penny.

Always stay in a room overnight as the owner to experience what a customer experiences. The rooms look good initially but No.5’s chair is dirty. A lot of the fixtures and fittings are loose. The fridge was loud so had to be switched off, the taps are too small to use if you have any dexterity issues. The bedding is not good quality but the worst thing was the communal entrance. You can hear everything, and I mean everything that goes on next door and in the hallway. We had a very selfish couple who would bang the doors, smoke stand outside on the phone and talk loudly. Admittedly that is not the hotels fault that they were selfish idiots but there is no noise dampening between rooms. The restaurant is VERY expensive for what they serve. The food was okay but definitely not worth what they’re charging. Drinks were at London prices which put us off staying any longer than one. The car park is gravel so you hear every car and not disabled friendly. Overall, very disappointed with our stay and definitely not returning.

Just visiting area booked in for early dinner. I had version burger my partner had a salad. Salad was good my burger had flavour but was luke warm at best . The fries were fries. Service excellent and the waitress was kind enough to knock off the service charge after I mentioned the burger. Expensive for what it was.

On 27th April 2024 my wife and I held our wedding celebrations at The Chequers in Burcott, we cannot be any happier with the service and attention that we received. The food was amazing, as it is every time we visit, the service from the incredible staff was the best we've ever received and the rooms were so comfortable after a long day on our feet. We set our wedding celebrations expectations high, Mads, Steve and the team delivered so far above our expectations, in each and every way possible. We've received so many compliments on the food, drinks selections, service and atmosphere from all our friends and family that celebrated with us. If you are thinking of visiting the region, looking for somewhere to eat, drink or stay overnight, go to The Chequers as this is bar far the best venue in our region - you will not be disappointed. Thank you to all at The Chequers, you are amazing. The best venue in the region - by a country mile....

Every time I go to The Chequers at Burcot, I come away with a smile. We turned up this time with a party of 30 and they comfortably squeezed us in and provided a great afternoon's respite after a long day walking. The last two times we came to eat and the food never disappoints. "Scotch egg heaven" as my family describes it 😊. Added 12/4/24. Another enjoyable night, with a perfect combo shared platter to start with Scotch egg, onion rings and fish bites.

We have been visiting The Chequers at Burcot for years, it used to be ok but recently the prices have increased and the quality of the food and the service has dropped. I took my mum for a NYE dinner and her £36 fillet steak arrived like charcoal, mine was less burnt but not right. The fries were greasy and cold and the mac cheese looked worse than store bought. Upon pointing out the charcoal steak to the waiter, he told my mum to try it, she might like it and proceeded to walk off in a huff. When he returned to the table with condiments, my mother informed him that a he didn’t like it. He was then even more obstinate, saying “this steak is cooked by Steve Sanderson, the owner and that is cooked correctly, plus you wanted it cooked well done”. At this point I informed him she would not be eating it and it needs to be changed, he ripped it from the table and stormed off. Following this service, we decided that we would not be continuing the meal, I spoke to another server/FOH and told her we would be paying for the drinks but nothing else. I realise that she was trying to apologise, but there was no amount of touching my shoulder that would make me change my mind. And felt like an invasion of my space. So we paid for the drinks and walked out. On the way out, another server joyfully said ‘I doubt I will be seeing you again, maybe on the street’ Thanks to Steve Sanderson and the team for ruining our NYE.

We decided on Sunday morning to try the Red Lion for lunch, and booked a table for 1330. We arrived and were met by efficient staff who were expecting us and offered us a choice of table. Drinks were ordered from a knowledgeable waiter and arrived quickly, mine being a very well-kept pint from tge local Amwell Springs brewery. We both chose beef from an extremely well thought-out menu which again arrived after only a short wait. The meat was beautifully cooked and presented on a large plate with very well cooked greens, carrots and a freshly-made Yorkshire puddings. Sides of cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes were excellent, probably the best roasties I've had, and the horseradish was similarly delicious. We both cleared our plates and the side dishes. Utterly gorgeous, go and see for yourself.

Really nice warm individual atmosphere. Food was great and just what we needed before a long day the following. We overnight-ed in room 3 which had everything needed. I Managed to run an international meeting at 0600 so wifi was strong. Breakfast next day was really good and ready when we asked for it. Highly recommend The Fat Fox if you want to dodge the corporate bs and feel like a name not a number.

I had the Korai Kabab Khyberi and although it was presentable and looked as though it was going to be full of flavour, it turned out to be very bland. There was no depth to the taste like there usually is with these types of dishes and the chicken definitely hadn't been marinated long enough (or at least it tasted that way). All very nice ambience and the service was relatively good but if the food isn't tasty then everything else pales into insignificance. Maybe the chef just had an "off-night" or maybe because it's the only tandoori in Streatley meant there isn't competition to keep them on their toes - I'm hoping it's the former.
