The Chequers at Crowle in Wychavon

Food good but over priced you need to order extra portions, especially on the Sunday roast where you need to order more vegetables and side orders which makes the meal more expensive

Disappointing! Booked meal for my mother’s 50th birthday at 14:45 to find the place was empty. After being seated we were told many things off the menu wasn’t available and we had till 15:00 (15 mins) to order our food before kitchen closed at 15:00. This was something we wasn’t informed of until arrival! Why let customers book, if not enough time window before kitchen closes… The food was average, no complaints but nothing amazing for a bistro unfortunately. For the service we struggled to get any member of staffs attention as they all seemed to be on a break, as they were all sat around a table chatting. They saw us few times attempt to get there attention to pay the bill, which they ignored. It got to the point we had to go over twice where they were sat to ask AGAIN so we could pay and finally leave. All I’d say is don’t bother booking a table anything after 14:00 as half the menu won’t be available and none of staff will acknowledge you.

Good service, good beer, great food!

We have eaten here several times and it has always been very good. On this occasion the food was lovely but we were let down by poor service. On arriving we sat at a table in the bar. I had to ask for the table to be cleaned as it had not been done the night before. When we went into the dining room we ordered our food then waited over 45 minutes for it to arrive. We were then brought the dessert menus but no-one came to take our orders until I went to find the waitress. We then had to wait so long for the desserts to arrive that one of our party had to go and complain. We then had to find someone to bring our bill. The waitress did apologise for the delay and said that the bar had been particularly busy. It is the first time that I have felt it necessary to ask for the service charge to be removed from the bill.

Been here a few times for dining, each time very noisy restaurant, food ok but some menu items grossly overpriced, Had the Camembert starter at £18.75 so expected a real feast but no a very disappointing and grossly overpriced starter, 4 dining so should of been a straightforward but side order left out, drinks very expensive.....actually overpriced would be a more acurate description, Overpricing will not make up for lack of customers, good service, Food and fair drinks prices would make for a must go to place, 15 quid for a glass of average white wine.....in no rush to go back, there are far better places out there.

We ate here on Christmas evening. Really enjoyable with smiling 😃 staff.

How they cater for large groups with such high food standards is impressive. great beer too!

very pleasant lunch ... the chicken orzo was excellent, the apple & berry crumble was so so It's berry, with a trace of apple, and the crumble is only a thin layer staff helpful and friendly location nice, but it gets very loud

Park4Night recommendation. Daytime barman was chatty and friendly. Food was high quality - ribeye steak cooked perfectly rare as requested, and exceptional chocolate brownie dessert. Evening serving ladies were pleasant and accommodating. Cosy enough bar area, with a roaring fire in one room. You can eat in the bar area but there is also another large room set out in a restaurant style, and I feel that The Chequers is aiming for more of a fine dining experience than a cosy country gastropub. I would prefer the latter, especially since the prices reflect the former.

Messaged the restaurant but nobody could be bothered to reply, hence the review. Firstly the food was great, but; We booked the restaurant but were seated in a bar area by the serving hatch. At the end of the meal we were surrounded by groups drinking - apparently this is classed as a bar area but a restaurant area when they’re busy! The service was poor, for example our dessert menus were provided and then we had to ask to order 40mins later. We ended up collecting coffee from the serving hatch! Out of the wine we wanted at £24 but they suggested an alternative; no mention that it was £43 until we saw the bill! Poor attitude from the manager, very ‘take it or leave it’.

Great venue. The fireworks night was brilliant

Great pub, nice food, beers good aswell

Great welcoming village pub with amazing food and a wide selection of draught beer and drinks. I went to the fireworks display, which was fantastic and well-organised. A lot of people attended, but there was ample parking and, as a local, it was very well organised, especially compared to other fireworks displays in the area. Communal fireworks displays like this are a great and safe way to enjoy and celebrate bonfire night. They prevent the need for locals to arrange their own fireworks, which would be less safe and a lot more disruptive. The management do a lot for the local community and Crowle is lucky to have them.

Food incredible! Staff incredible! Beautiful atmosphere!

Did not enjoy my Sunday’s lunch at all, service was very cold, food was below average, roast potatoes were terrible, not fresh at all and not crispy, veggies tasteless, asked for a glass of champagne £12 and received only a quarter of a glass it looked ridiculous, coffee were served cold.Overall it did not taste fresh. Will not be returning.

Lunch time, not many people eating food was OK nothing special for the price. Clean with ok staff not sure I would bother to go there again

Very dissapointed Sunday’s lunch, food was mediocre to say the least, pre heated ,hard potatoes cold coffee and service.

Visited for a family dinner on Saturday. Surprisingly good food, both in quality but also selection. I had the Beef Shin Bon-Bon’s followed by belly pork and both were excellent. Wife had chicken schnitzel, which although tasty, was far too thick to be a traditional schnitzel! Only downside was the main room was quite noisy, so very hard to hear everyone on our table (6 seater bench), which was why atmosphere marked down. Side note…excellent sized car park, but some very deep potholes need filling….lethal in a low slung sports car! 😬

Stopped for lunch as a meeting point for family. Relaxed atmosphere sat by the fire. Staff attentive but not pushy. Food tasty would visit again

Decent pub. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff.

Only went for a drink. Good selection of beers.

Great pub with restaurant...super nice staff and great atmosphere...We also stayed here for free in our motorhome

Excellent meal, served in a nice clean atmosphere with friendly staff . Will return, food spot on and a good choice menu .p

Good food and ale as well also very friendly staff

Stayed here in our campervan last night. Beer, food and service were excellent.

Very nice shop with upscale food

Lucky to be accommodated as a walk in on a sunny Saturday evening, the restaurant was already busy at 6pm. Had several different servers, all of whom were polite and helpful and efficient (although, cycling shorts, really? I know it’s hot work but still) I had the bonbons to start- they were quite dense/large so maybe serve either just 2 instead of 3 or make smaller? Not sure what the bacon bits added to the dish personally. Main special of cod was really tasty - loved the crispy skin and the bisque.

Popped in for lunch, as always great varied menu, excellent quality food, good service and ambience. Highly recommend

Very busy pub, but should be used to it by now. Apparently not, because the service is very hit-and-miss, with many wait staff very young and apparently poorly trained. Very long wait for food to arrive. Even our order of simple drinks from the bar took 10 minutes to be brought to the table! Dishes are also not cleared away promptly. The food itself was mixed. A cheese souffle starter was excellent, and the cheese board generous (but it would have been nice if the waiter had explained the three cheeses). The Sunday roasts were just ok. The gravy was far too salty, and appeared to be the same for both the roast beef and chicken mains--meaning its flavour overpowered the latter. But the biggest fault was the undercooked and hard roast potatoes--which should be a highlight of any roast dinner. A disappointing visit.

Great service, first visit! Food was delicious but slightly on the higher end cost wise. Lovely pub, would definitely return.

What a gem. Found them on park4night. We popped in for beer and food 😋 lovely. We stayed for the night in our campervan. Thanks, guys. we loved our stay ❤️

We have become new locals and already found our home for great food, service and family enjoyment as well as a quiet evening beer. We enjoyed the roast dinner for the first time, and what comes out looks amazing and one might think it’s not enough but the meat portion and beautiful veg, Yorkshire pud’s and pugs in blankets were gorgeous. Even better it was all gluten free!

We stayed near the Chequers on a five day visit to Worcestershire. We ate there for four of the five nights because the food was so brilliant. Really tasty, freshly cooked food, interesting menu, large portions in a comfortable pub. Friendly service and dog friendly. Thoroughly recommend

Looks nice but mediocre. Soup was over heated and more like a consome. Loos not good. Staff were lovely. It just doesn't smell or feel as classy as it should be.

Firstly a 60th birthday celebration. 6 guests pre booked. We'd been sat waiting for 30 mins for any sort of service. I had the starter of crabcakes which at best was Very bland in flavour served alongside some green leaves with a smattering of mayonnaise. Mains was Roast pork which turned out to be belly draft ( very fatty ) served with cold then reheated possibly deep fried roast potatoes, thin slice of parsnip , carrot , mashed swede, cabbage and peas. All served Luke warm. If this floats your boat then go but expect to be waiting an eternity to get served. Thank you Chequers you spoiled a lovely day.

We dropped in to you last minute yesterday lunchtime and had a delicious lunch! The ceasar salad sandwiches were delicious and very filling! BUT my son had the chicken and whatever pie, cannot remember, and he said it was honestly one of the best pies he'd ever had. The pastry was perfect, all 4 of us had a taste and agreed with him! I'm sure if we're in the area again, we shall call in!

Went for Sunday lunch. The roasts and desserts were excellent. Friendly, efficient staff. We will be going again.

Nice pub with good food. Barman could do with friendliness & being interested coaching.

Stopped in for a quick lunch, which was both very tasty (pulled pork ciabattas) and very satisfying. Will def go back for a "proper" meal.

Bit on the pricey side, but otherwise a lovely place

Had a wedding reception here, it was amazing, the food , service and staff were perfect. Can’t rate it highly enough. Thank you x

Had booked table but didn't need to as not busy. Food okay, but didn't order main meal just sandwich and soup. Overhead customer being charged incorrectly only to be overcharged ourselves. For a child's meal! Only the 2 of us and not busy and definitely seemed he knew!! Refunded after I noticed, but won't be going again. Check your bill I would advise.

Good pub though quite expensive for a sandwich

Amazing food Friendly staff Beautiful place & surroundings Will 100% be returning

I’m not even joking this food is absolutely AMAZING I had a steak it was AMAZING the service was great the staff were friendly and it was chilled 😎

Just had a fantastic sunday roast lamb, lamb falling apart, loads of well cooked veg and excellent mint sauce. They were very accommodating about my gluten free needs. Overall, exactly what I wanted and a real pleasure for a drop in experience.

We had an excellent Sunday roast today. We were a group of 20 so pre-booked food as one would expect. Food, service and location was perfect. Highly recommend and will return. Had the lamb roast which was exceptional. Also catered well to gluten free members of the party.

Lovely little gastro pub with quality food. The pub had a nice ambiance and the service was quick and friendly. Food isn't inexpensive, but the portions are a good size and very tasty. Sausage and mash had good quality bangers with an excellent caramelised onion garnish, would recommend.

Really enjoyed our visit. Very helpful staff. And a great meal.

Lovely food, very hospitable staff, lots of different seating options and dog friendly.

Had not been since 2019 when it was very good, it had not changed and was still incredibly good. Unfortunately not a lot of atmosphere this time as not many people in the restaurant. However the food was excellent and the skin on chips amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pub itself warm and welcoming. It is not cheap even the lunch menu is quite expensive but you get what you pay for and we both enjoyed it

Great place to relax with a pint and something to eat . Plus we had our dog with us and is welcomed inside

Fabulous food and wonderful staff.

Absolutely Devine. 100% recommended. I’m going back again. Ollie and Hannah were great. Top job

Had a fantastic meal here last night. The food is excellent and so is the service. We have eaten here before on Valentine’s Day and it was just as good then too.

Beautiful, plentiful food. Presentation and flavour spot on. Thoroughly recommend this place for food.

Excellent venue for a working lunch.

Lovely food and excellent service!, despite running out of a few menu options but it was late (around 7pm on a Sunday!) Thankyou!

Excellent meal and service, thank you Hannah.

We were lucky enough to win a three-course meal here as part of the Worcester Foodies Guide advent calendar; we'd heard a lot about The Chequers and couldn't believe we were lucky enough to win! It was a brilliant experience from start to finish; the atmosphere was relaxed but efficient, the staff were friendly and helpful but above all - the food was AMAZING! My husband said his main course of steak was the best steak he's had in this country and from him this is honestly a huge compliment! I had the pan-fried chicken breast, which was cooked beautifully; I'd wondered if it might be a bit dry or bland but this was 100% not the case. And the dauphinoise potatoes were absolutely delicious, they really complemented the whole dish. Our starters and desserts were similarly fantastic. We were pleasantly surprised by how busy it was on a weeknight - which surely shows we can't be the only ones to enjoy great food in a great surrounding. Would we go here again? Yes. At full price? Yes, unquestionably. Can't wait!!

Having eaten here before we were a bit disappointed with the spare ribs which were v chewy, corn on the cob was cold and had been precooked and the chips were tasty! My friend had the cheese board after her main which was delicious. Service was good though.

WOW We have just had a fantastic Valentine’s meal at the chequers to celebrate our 36th engagement anniversary. The menu choices and quality of the food was superb along with the service we received. Thank you to everyone who helped to make this happen.

First time here for a long time having moved away, and must say it was fantastic. Helpful, friendly staff, great food and service. It's a really nice pub with a relaxed vibe, a variety of seating and a nice selection of beers. Best pub lunch for ages. Will go back.

Absolutely loved all of if... superb.

A business that couples a local vibe with a bistro food experience. I feel blessed to have them in our village. They always put customers first whether they are seasoned locals or newcomers. A fine, fine place. Huge thanks to Head Chef Damien, Ollie and his amazing team for being my local.

This is an excellent gastro-pub set in a village location. The food was very good and although slightly on the pricy side, it would not stop me going again. On thing I would say to them is if you are serving a steak, please provide a steak knife. Other than that - great!

Thank you for a great meal last night......spot on.

Lovely place, food was gorgeous, served nice and hot on warm plates Staff were attentive and there was no long wait would definitely recommend.

I went to the Chequers for early dinner on a Friday evening (17:45 hours). I was in fact seeing if the quality of the restaurant was suitable for a large family Golden wedding celebration meal later this year. As a lone diner, not all dressed up and deliberately looking a little scruffy, I was also interested how this would impact on the reception and quality of service I received.....never judge a book by its cover! This visit was after I was told early last December that there was no Boxing Day menu, as such. When I asked if it was because they would make it up on the hoof, depending on what they had left in the fridges, freezers and cupboards, they did not deny it! On this, my first visit, I ordered a starter and a main course. I chose the main course of breast of chicken with dauphinoise potatoes as I particularly like dauphinoise potatoes for their decadent creamy consistency and au gratin topping. The amount of the plate of the main course was spartan. The potatoes I was served bore no resemblance to dauphinoise, instead it was a rather solid brick like structure with no cream in sight and as dry as a bone. I asked one of the waitresses to check that I had not misread the menu and also to ask the chef what the potato dish was supposed to be. The waitress came back and passed on rather embarrassingly, what I take it were the chefs comments, that "they are dauphinoise potatoes but the cream has been drained off"! I then asked to speak with the restaurant supervisor, who stated he had been a witness to the chefs response.....and that "they were cooked in cream but that we don't make them too creamy". It is obvious by looking at me that I was not born yesterday. Neither did I order a healthy dose of BS, as far as I recall. However, that is what I got. Obviously this restaurant is looking to cut corners to save money, when their pricing demands that they serve correctly cooked and generous fayre. Maybe there is a moratorium on creamy dishes at the Chequers. If the restaurant supervisor had been customer focussed and acknowledged the poor quality, with a decent dauphinoise potato dish or an appropriate discount off the main course, then I would have accepted that as a compromise. But no, he tried to blag his way out of it. This is the biggest red flag of all. How a restaurant deals with dissatisfied customers, to ensure they are properly acknowledged and their future custom is retained is the biggest indicator of quality customer service. That the Chequers doesn't seem to have responded to any other negative reviews is a indicator of their lack of ownership of a quality experience by all of their customers. The whole thing left a very bitter taste in the mouth. A bit of an own goal for the Chequers, methinks.

A lovely lunch, the food and atmosphere were good with excellent service.

Great food, staff are friendly and attentive.

Another fantastic meal at The Chequers on Saturday. Well presented quality food and a great atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive. Thank you to all for a lovely evening.

Food and service never let us down, lovely place to meet and feed.

Good menu choice and delicious food

Our second visit this year, and long overdue, as the first visit was so good. 7 of us this time. Superb atmos, and friendly, amenable staff. All of us had different main meals, and we needed to make a couple of alterations for dietary issues. These were dealt with, effortlessly. Timely service, without being pushy. It's just before Xmas, and they were busy - but we still had a great, great time. Delicious. Homemade pie and pork belly particularly good. Bravo, and thank you to the Chequers team - a top notch experience, and recommended unreservedly.

Ordered from the Christmas menu, food was of a very high standard and the service was excellent.

My partner took myself and his mother, for a Sunday lunch, we must say one of the best Sunday lunches we have ever had , the food was excellent , the staff jack , and hanna were very attentive and made sure we were happy , and contented with our meals . We will definitely call again , and recommend you try this very special restaurant, and the atmosphere was just right for a beautiful afternoon lunch .

All 13 of us enjoyed a lovely Christmas meal at the Chequers last night. The restaurant was ‘buzzing’ with a great festive atmosphere in the restaurant. Excellent service, great food and professional attentive staff helped make our evening one to remember. Thanks’Team Chequers’ and Merry Christmas!

We had the Christmas menu, which was lovely. The food was good, hot, and served in a timely fashion. Plenty of room on the car park , yet a full and friendly crowd inside. Festive decorations and Happy smiling faces everywhere.

Really nice place for all sorts of occasions

A very nice lunchtime Christmas meal. Soup was lovely and the Belly pork was excellent.

The Sunday menu is really disappointing compared to the regular menu, I wasn't aware the normal menu was not available. Limited on options and some of the menu was not as printed for example the sausage roll was different and made with cranberry which was different to the one printed. I chose the quiche as an alternative starter and this was tiny, hot in places and cold in some. The main lamb was barely warm and served on a bed of leeks not as advertised. The potatoes were hard and cold like they'd been left all day and the parsnips and carrots so hard I couldn't cut into them. The pigs in blankets were completely burnt. This is absolutely not the usual standard and my first review of Chequers which is poor. I'm a regular so even more annoyed as this was a total waste of money. Also in the bar was a group of rowdy men sat in the booth next to us and watching football on an iPad. Hardly the atmosphere for Sunday lunch.

Hardly the atmosphere for Sunday dinner.

Probably the best quality Sunday Lunch we have had for avery long time. Meat, veg, sauces all high quality and pefectly cooked ( tasted home cooked, not mass caterering cooked !). Lovely staff, great atmosphere. Well done. See you again very soon.

Visited Chequers at Crowle 30th November for a family meal. the restaurant was very smart and had a nice feel also quiet enough to be able to have good conversation. We had been recomened to Chequers, and although we new it was fairly expensive, two of the meals - the most expensive on menu - really let the evening down. Both fillet steaks were quite tough, although well cooked to medium rare didn't come anywhere near to a quality steak experience. Most expensive meal we've had for many years, (£37) so had high expectations. Can only say very disappointing. The other three meals were well received and enjoyed. Steve

At £37 for a 7oz fillet steak you would expect a really good steak but we both had chewy tough steaks that were tasteless and cold in the middle. Obviously cooked straight from the fridge. The pork belly was very good but it was more like a starter than a main. Very meagre. Water was in a fancy bottle but was at room temperature and all of the drinks were on the expensive side. The cheese board was ok but it should have been much better for £12.50. Poor to average food at rip off prices.

Nothing short of a warmed up ready meal, worst food ever which was disappointing after an hours drive to get to it based on the trip advisor reviews I read. Overpriced and poor quality

Disappointed service awful food average & overpriced .

Ollie and the team give an excellent service.. great atmosphere, open log fire .. the food is always amazing.. the pheasant & plum chutney on the special menu board at present is sublime 😋.. all round great experience..!! 💯

The best meal I’ve had out in a long time. We came here on a Saturday evening and we couldn’t get over how good every course was. We shared the duck rilettes with toast and chutney, followed by the pork belly and roast crown of pheasant. The pork was beautifully cooked, crispy and succulent. The pheasant was also cooked perfectly and both dishes served with a good selection of seasonal vegetables. For desserts we had the carrot cake Swiss roll with caramel sauce and the vanilla panna cotta. These were a super end to a lovely evening. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back for more.

Always happy to eat at this great country pub the steaks are always top class and the staff are friendly and attentive, thank you Chequers 🙂👍

Great firework event last night. Really well organised. Service terrific and coped well with large number of people. Burgers were awesome and really should be added to the regular restaurant menu. We are locals and visit Chequers every week and regularly eat there. Very lucky...

Large very noisy group of adults and children

Onion rings batter was a revelation rosemary and sea salt (1 minute too long in fryer for my teeth but still quality) skin on fries hot and tasty, bar staff friendly and all busy doing tasks even though a quiet evening showing dedication to role, atmosphere warm and inviting, beer garden quality chairs and views, wish it was nearer to home

Another family meal and drinks. After Friday’s experience, we all decided to come back. Different staff looked after us this time and yet we were treated well. Thank you to Tom who looked after us this time. Attentive team at all times. Happy to explain...

Nice pub to enjoy a great pint and talk, outside space was good and service was perfect

Great place with quality food that's definitely a step up from "pub grub"

Excellent lunch, will definately be back 👌😍

Everything about this pub is brilliant. Would recommend to all.

Good sunday roast but slow service despite coming a bit later. Would go again though
