The Chequers at Burcot in South Oxfordshire

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....

We just stopped to eat dinner. Delicious unpretentious savoury and generously served by friendly staff. Reasonable prices and atmospheric premises. For an expat like myself looking for British classic tastes, I got lucky here!

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.

I love this place ,ive owned Michelin bib gourmand restaurants,and I cannot fault the food,not ever. The new young guy who has taken over as manager is just amazing,I think he is called mac, he's totally on the ball,he misses nothing,his attention to detail is superb,it's a fantastic experience,faultless,

Went for a NYE meal with my partner. Lovely food, great atmosphere and very friendly service. Highly recommended as a place to eat and drink.

Good food, but extremely overpriced. £15.50 for a gin and tonic, £13 for a glass of wine and £13 for children's fish and chips. Won't be going back.

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.
