The Chequers Inn in Wycombe

Went for a Sunday lunch this weekend and was not left disappointed! Fantastic restaurant, decor quirky yet not over the top, music spot on, and a great atmosphere. The food was fantastic and couldn’t fault a single thing. I manage a restaurant myself and know how hard Sundays can be, and they nailed it! Thank you for a wonderful lunch, we will be back

Poor selection of light food @ lunch for walkers,sandwiches, bread dry (agreed by manager, nothing done about it! Not busy, service slow...

Extremely noisy in the main room, service is haphazard at best. We had read reviews and knew going in to order drinks right as we were seated, however food came in such random ways and so appalingly sporadically we will NEVER return. Being seated in a snug corner with benches more narrow than a church pew we rejected. Then we were seated somewhat begrudgingly next to a table of 15(!!) people. A number of them then proceeded to yell up & down the table. We'd diven by there many times and thought we should give it a go, never again!

Planning a circular walk from Frieth (passing through Skirmett, Turville and Fingest) I decided to have a lunch stop at The Chequers. Fantastic 17th C building, warm welcome, sat next to a nice fire, excellent toasted sandwich and bowl of soup, nice friendly service. What more could one ask for? Thank you, and I’ll visit again. BTW, the walk was great, too!

Absolutely excellent food in a beautiful pub. Highly recommended. Great service too and friendly staff. Amazing location and lovely garden.

We visited The Chequers for the first time this weekend and have to say that it’s our favourite pub in the Hambleden Valley. The food was fantastic (best roast that I’ve tasted other than my own) and we were very full after two courses as the portions were generous. The atmosphere was just what you want from a rural village pub. Cecilia was an amazing waitress/host who was warm, engaging and genuinely wanted to ensure all guests had a great time. We will definitely return!

Firstly I can’t praise the staff enough. We were with a group of 11 and had ore-ordered and they had no problem with me changing mine. I heard so much about this place I was expecting too much. The cheese was seriously the poorest I’ve ever had in a pub/restaurant. For a restaurant charging 12.5% service I would expect gourmet food. There was a large piece of very ordinary cheddar. A so small piece of Stilton that it never made it to the blue/green veins. An average size piece of goat’s cheese which was rather rubbery than creamy. My shepherd pie was fine. My husband had steak and crème brûlée and it was excellent so that is why I’m giving four stars. I just want the management to read this and improve the quality of their cheese. Instead of Stilton and cheddar one could be replaced by a Brie or a Camembert. You are so close to a lovely creamery at Nettlebed where you could buy some delicious cheeses and help the local economy.

My friends and I enjoyed dinner at The Chequers Inn. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. The decor made the restaurant feel cosy and relaxing. The food was very good. The mussels were huge and fresh, the burger was yummy. One of my friends ordered the gnocchi and said it was delicious but had a bit too much butter sauce for her liking. It wasn't too busy when we had dinner but the tables were quite close together, so I would think if it was full, it may be a bit noisy. Overall, we did enjoy our visit here and would recommend.

Had a really excellent Sunday lunch here. Delicious food in a family friendly pub with excellent and friendly service.

Ten of us enjoyed an amazing Sunday lunch with friends & family. The food was clearly cooked with the best ingredients, love, and attention to detail. Staff gave permission to bring a specially-themed birthday cake. The wine menu set The Chequers Fingest apart from anywhere else, however. You could see that the wines are chosen by someone who knows their trade: even seemingly "ordinary" wines like sauvignon blanc and merlot were stunning - clearly from carefully selected growers, not just picked on price out of a wholesale catalogue.

Excellent Sunday lunch with friendly service in this family friendly pub. We had 2 hours then were asked to vacate the table.

The food and service is worth a drive out of London! Very cosy to sit. Suitable for all types of company. Food was very well prepared. We came from London and would go back!

One of the best Sunday roasts we’ve ever had. Beef was perfectly cooked as were the accompaniments. Friendly staff and a really lovely interior. My apologies for kicking over the dog’s water and making a mess.

Superb dinner! Prices are quite high but the quality is worth it. Superb scallops, smoked salmon and wonderful cod dish. We will be back.

Melt-in-the-mouth roast beef, crisp roast potatoes, rich copious gravy. ‘Nuff said…except to add that the service is swift, friendly and efficient and the whole look and vibe is tasteful and effortless. We’ll be back!

My husband and I met up with family members who were halfway through their walk. We were seated in the cosy bar area as we had dogs. All the staff we met were friendly and efficient, especially the young lady who served our drinks and...

We visited for Sunday Lunch after a beautiful circular walk in the area. We booked our table in the cosy bar, as we had a dog with us, which suited us perfectly as we prefer a pub vibe. The staff were very welcoming and bought...

A pleasant pub. The restaurant was large and very clean looking, although as we left we saw there was a cosier area. The greeting was matter of fact and unenthusiastic. I had fish and chips which was served surprisingly quickly. The fish was nicely cooked...

Following a family trip In Marlow this weekend, we passed via Fingest& decided to have lunch@ the chequers Inn . I ordered The Salmon gravalax as a starter, while my wife ordered the cucumber Gazpacho. My salmon was very salty& unpleasant texture, while my Wife's...

I was cycling in the Chilterns on Sunday with a friend and we decided to stop for food at the next pub we saw. We went into the Chequers and left our bikes in the garden. The garden was fairly quiet with a few tables...

Outstanding.. from staff, service, and food.. not had an all round amazing lunch for ages. This pub/ restaurant delivers on all fronts

Lovely smaller village a pub. Great garden. Sadly only stopped for a drink on a summer’s day as we were eating out for dinner. Deeply tempted by the menu and surroundings. Will go back another day.

Came with 18 member of my family & younger members too, food came out on time together really that the service is on point and drinks were made quick and efficient served quick up-to standard as local recommended which I’m very well indeed glad, Definitely...

Good ambience & courteous service made for a convivial evening, but spoilt when we got the bill! Like MH Scot, I felt we had been taken advantage of, mislead into ordering expensive items without knowing the cost. Expecting a bill of around £160 for four...

Four of us had a pleasant evening meal there. Food was good, but the shock came with the bill. The bottle of still water cost £4.50, we opted for 'additional' veggies, as it wasn't clear the meal came with them, and they cost £9 extra,...

Took my Dad for his birthday as the pub is very local for him. Food is excellent and portion sizes are right to enjoy three courses but prices are quite high. The setting is lovely and the garden offers great views down the valley. Service...

We visited The Chequers on two occasions in August - both, fortunately, under a sunny sky. Great place to stop to quench your thirst after a short walk in the Chiltern bush. Prompt and attentive service. We’ll try the food next time!

Fabulous setting and delicious food. The staff were lovely and friendly and it’s definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.

I come here regularly as it is a local and always think it is right to support them. But its hard, the food is great and the best out of many of the local pubs. But the past three times I have been there after asking for the bill i have waited one time 10 mins (which is fine and average) the other time ( 1 HOUR !!!) and the other time about 45 Mins. this isn't an over exaggeration. One time the waiter we asked for the bill obviously finished her shift and went home telling no one about us. Then when one of them realised and apologizes and offered to remove the drinks from the bill when he came back and looked at the bill he forgot and went back to change it. He came back after asking a colleague to do it and once again didn't remove them. We said its fine an offered to pay the meal in full as its what a respectable person should do.

This is a family run pub with a sublime team of staff to support. The menu is always changing, the food is exactly as it says, ....... full of flavour and presented beautifully. If you have a space for dessert go for it.... Chris ‘s desserts are quite something ..... esp the deconstructed crumble ! I can highly recommend the crispy lamb starter and truffle macaroni cheese ...... not forgetting the amazing roasts smoked on the Big Green Egg (quite something if you’ve not encountered an UBER bbq before)...... and ..... one cannot forget Jaxon’s awesome pizzas..... don’t forget to ask for extra chilli on the pepperoni ! The drinks always refreshing and perfectly presented with correct glasses, right amount of ice and a wine list that will entail a perfect match to whatever uou are eating. The pub clearly shows every effort has been made to keep their patrons safe during this pandemic. Tables, toilets, handles are clearly sanitised as we saw them do it three times during this particular visit. The team out front is efficient, attentive and ...... most of all .... they are happy. They clearly all enjoy their work which is a bonus.... so many times I eat out and the team just seem to go through the motions without bothering to smile. I always look forward to dining here and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting or living in the area. Thank you Team Chequers ...... can’t wait to return.

We were a party of five, friends much missed during covid meeting up again to celebrate life and futures. We ate magnificently. I had a Bloody Mary shrimp starter with a swordfish main perfectly seared and then elevated with the addition of fennel. We had great service, especially from Annabelle and Kevin and all left sated and happy. A great Sunday for us all. Thank you.

Turned up here by mistake - we were meeting a friend in a different Chequers pub. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, phoning the other pub and giving us directions, despite being very busy themselves.

What a great little pub! After out 5 mile walk in the morning this was a great pub to stop at for a bite to eat for lunch. The weather was great so we sat in the lovely garden enjoying the sunshine. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious, particularly the pork medallions with pak choi, noodles and soy sauce. A very enjoyable experience that I would highly recommend!

We went for mid-week lunch in the garden - the setting is great, the tables nicely spaced on the huge lawn so it was safe and relaxed. However, the service was so slow despite there only being about 6 tables there and the food - when it finally came - was hugely overpriced for what we had. Assorted bread with dipping oil for starters was pretty much a plate of brown and white toast. The fish and chips were ok - saved by the light as a feather batter on the fish - but soggy, grassy chips and peas mashed with neat sugar I think! The CFC (nice play on words) sounded great but, in reality, a KFC might have been better - the chicken was soggy without any of the crispy, crunchy coatings promised and again, greasy chips. We didn't bother with dessert. Such a shame and for just four drinks (two of them soft), some 'toast' and a main course each we spent £75.00! Definitely not worth the money.

Lovely walk in a beautiful area with the mid - point being lunch at The Chequers.We had fish and chips, light crispy batter and enough to sustain us for our onward journey. We left feeling relaxed and refreshed. Beautiful gardens in peaceful countryside and so lovely to see it busy. Polite and friendly staff, and we enjoyed it very much. We will be back again.All procedures adhered to perfectly..

Six of us decided to do a walk from the Ordnance Surveys circular walks series, starting and finishing at Ibstone. We decided to have lunch at Fingest and booked the Chequers a few days in advance. They were great at responding to my emails about gluten-free options, track and trace, general directions. We arrived a full half-hour early but the staff took it in their stride and were able to find us a table. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was wonderful. Between the six of us we had the fish and chips, the lamb and the venison sausage and mash, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their choice. The fish and chips was among the best I've ever had. The batter on the cod was light and tasty, the fish itself moist and cooked to perfection. A pint of Brakspear's Gravity was the perfect accompaniment. Just can't fault the experience at all. The walk was also wonderful, and highly recommended. It's in Ordnance Survey Outstanding Circular Walks in the Chilterns and it's just short of 8 miles long through beautiful valleys and woodland.

This is a lovely pub in a very pretty part of the countryside, and the garden has glorious views. The chicken bacon and Caesar salad was quite magnificent, huge and rather pricey at £18 but probably the best one I’ve ever had. The garden was very busy and the atmosphere was good, the service friendly. Only two niggles. One, the only alcohol-free beer was a lager; I wish pubs would stock an alcohol-free bitter too. And also, it took 45 minutes to pay and leave after we’d finished. We had to ask three times for the bill and when it finally came it was wrong. But I suspect that this was the first big weekend since pubs opened up again and with new staff and a very busy trade a few problems are bound to arise. The food was absolutely marvellous.

I searched for a pub for Sunday lunch as was in the area and must have booked about 4 weeks in advance. The web site says it's the best kept secret! So thought let's go and try this place.On arrival , at 12.00 we were given a table for 6 (only 2 of us) right by entrance and next to men's toilet. We were first in virtually. Sat down , surrounded by soft cushions which when questioned later apparently get cleaned when they have time, definitely not covid-19 friendly. Choice was roast beef or roast venison, an unusual selection. So beef it was. It came within 10 mins and a very odd selection of veg, including pumpkin and kale, no parsnip or sprouts! And then aarg the beef was cold. So the lady said it can be heated up, but said no, fresh plates and a new meal. Came back within 5 mins and was hot. Due to the seating location we constantly heard men inn the toilets and had to put our coats on as frozen with door opening and closing with other people arrivingBy 12.45 we had paid the bill and left. So much for a leisurely Sunday lunch! I wouldn't return or recommend it.Also lots of animal heads over the walls

Walked the woofer with my better half for 2 hours in the beautiful surrounding countryside and worked up an appetite for Sunday lunch. We sat in the lovely garden and ordered 2 roast beefs followed by 2 apple crumbles. Well let me say it was one of the best Sunday pub lunches we have had by a mi!e. Beef was divine, roasties crunchy and lots of veg - that cauliflower/leek in white sauce with a cheesey/crumbly topping was soo tasty! And how do you make make that crunchy crumble on the apple crumble? It was very very nice. So well done you lot - we loved it.

A beautiful little country pub with rustic decor and friendly service. I emailed ahead to check vegan options were available and they were. But upon arrival there were none on the menu, so i asked and was told i could have stir fried veg or a roast without the meat. I went for the roast. I got a huge plate of carrots and green beans and a few roast potatoes with some gravy. It was tasty enough, and i was happy to eat it - but if you want a pub that serves vegan food rather than just 'normal' food with half the ingredients removed to make it vegan, it might not be your first choice. I will go back - but i hope the menu will improve a little.

A pleasant evening catching up with my sister after lockdown isolation. All the tables were outside and well spaced. It was an 'eat out to help out' evening and it seemed as if they had underestimated the number of people they would have to serve and as a consequence they were short staffed and it took a long time for the food to be served. All the staff were very pleasant but were clearly stressed by the situation. The food was great, we had fish and chips, a burger and a caesar salad and all the plates were clean when we finished.As a local pub for a family member we will return and hopefully the service will then be back to it's normal efficient and really pleasant standard.

Only place we’ll eat when we’re in the area. Staff are efficient, friendly and fun. The food is never a disappointment. One of our party was a vegetarian and he was seriously impressed with his meal. The rest of us meat eaters had a different dish each and all were delicious. Can’t recommend highly enough.A large garden during these warm, new normal times is perfect.

Lunch there today and will not be going back. The staff were disinterested, the service was poor - sat with empty plates in front of us for too long. Not approached to ask if everything was ok during lunch and generally a painful experience.

For a lovely pub it’s a shame that the female member of staff who was taking food orders last night (1st August) was indescribably rude. Firstly she came across (when there was a huge queue to get a drink) that she was more interested in chatting to her mate behind the bar. Secondly when we asked where to order she grunted and looked very much down on us. We came for my Mums 50th birthday and she made just about every effort to be rude. My father went to the bar and waited 20mins for a beer in which time the food came out. I asked her if she could possibly serve my father so his food wouldn’t get cold to which she laughed and walked off. As a person who came to your pub as a surprise for my mum I was disgusted with her attitude. Consistently unprofessional and generally couldn’t have cared less. The girl who brought the food out was lovely but the girl behind the bar was rushed off her feet while the lad in the blue shirt casually cantered round the tables all evening with a clipboard. Poor show folks. Poor show. If you appreciate good service then I recommend avoiding at all costs. Also - not sure what COVID-19 guidelines are in place? We were there 3 hours in which time 4 families had one table on turn over to which it was cleaned once. I’m disappointed we stayed for food. Upsetting as my family came up for my mums 50th and no consideration was given to even be polite. Maybe you would be in better control if you take the approach that most local pubs have with a table service rather than 20 people stood in a queue for food and 15 people queuing for a drink in the same space. Oh dear.

Visited the day the pub reopened and it was brilliant. Really friendly service and very clear where to go and what to do to be safe in the current environment. None of this spoiled the experience. Great food and beer.

I have been to The Chequers Inn numerous times on my Chiltern Hill treks and it is spot on! I ordered a special which was chicken with wild garlic mushrooms, tender stem broccoli and truffle mash and a dessert which was a vanilla cheesecake with a berry compote! Both the main lunch and dessert were divine! The bar staff are so helpful, friendly and considerate! So overall, a fantastic Brakspear pub to eat at especially for trekkers so I will always return again!

Firstly don’t go here if you’re vegetarian or vegan- terrible options. Secondly, the staff lacked attentiveness and awareness of the menu. Some dishes were fantastic but others were completely lacking in flavour (the mushroom tagliatelle tasted of plastic).

We had a Sunday lunch here which we all looked forward to. Main courses tastes very nice and were well presented however the portion size were too small. After mains we had dessert which quite frankly, other than the ice cream and sorbet, was disappointing but the coffee was of good quality.Would we go back here? Yes but for a drink and a packet of crisps not a full meal again.

We arrived just before last lunch time orders, It was very busy in the main restaurant so we sat in a lovely and very comfortable bar area along with a few others, We both ordered the same cheese and ham melt, we were served by friendly and polite staff, meal arrived very promptly it was served on a wooded platter with dressed salad a bowl of chips, the bread was thick total smothered in a thick layer of cheese with plenty of ham it was mouth wateringly delicious, and can highly recommend, it may of been a snack but we found it filling We have eaten there a few months ago, and had my usual rump steak it again was delicious There is plenty of parking disabled access at rear of pub is very good Recommend that if in a wheelchair that the pub is split level with the toilets at rear lower level and is a bit tight but in summer lovely outside sitting area

Friendly place, good service, nice menu with good food. Lovely Sunday lunch with beautiful walks around it.

Had lunch here today. Open log fire, very good menu, prices reasonable. Service was quick and friendly. Will be back.

Im not sure how to phrase this without sounding over critical .. the pub is set in beautiful surroundings in a stunning village. The inside. Although traditional was clean and well kept. The food was as expected. A good quality offering with proper roast spuds. The lack of choice for a Sunday Menu was disappointing. No lamb pork or turkey. But the beef was good! I had the mushroom soup and coming from a background of 30yrs in this industry was blatantly obvious to me to be a powder mix. It was too watery. Im afraid at £7 i was disappointed. Service was excellent with polite and friendly staff. Overall. Yes id go back but ive definately had better offering for sinilar money. One Criticism. Outside the car park looked like a scrapyard. Quite surprising since the vehicles in the car park showed a high wealth clientele .. hopefully over winter things will improve

We visited this lovely pub on a glorious sunny day at lunchtime. We sat outside in their garden with our two dogs, it was too nice to be indoors even though our dogs would have been welcomed. The food was good, we all had the haddock and chips reasonably priced for the area. The staff were lovely very friendly and helpful, the young lady even remembered what drinks we ordered when I went back for a second round. They were closing after the lunchtime service but we were told that there was no rush to leave, we were welcome to sit for a while, which we did, looking out over the surrounding countryside. I would definitely recommend this lovely pub/restaurant.

Looking at the other previous positive reviews I'm wondering if this restaurant has recently changed hands? A friend and I dined at The Chequers Inn recently. We decided to try it out as so many of the Chilterns gastro-pubs seem to have gone downhill (metaphorically not literally).Its setting is simply beautiful in the lovely little village of Fingest. Inside it looks great - really characterful and cosy, so we hopefully opened the menu and...it felt like we'd gone back to the 1970s. I checked my trousers but I wasn't wearing flares. There was ham, egg and chips, fish and chips, burger and chips, macaroni cheese (without chips I think), the usual steaks etc and the veg was steamed or microwaved. I looked at it again and again in disbelief, partly because the area around Fingest is stuffed with fairly wealthy sophisticated people who would expect great food - Peter Jones is a local. Tim Rice lives just down the road.They were also doing pizza in the garden and the soup of the day was Tomato.What an incredible waste of a beautiful place! My main course was just about acceptable but pretty insipid and I had rice pudding and something as a dessert. You can always tell a poor dessert because it tastes too sweet and this really tasted sweet. As for cost, it's not expensive and nor should it be. The service was okay.I've been a fan of Chilterns dining since 2003. However, as I said, most of the once great restaurants in the area seem to be in decline and I don't know why - surely not something else to blame on Brexit:)

I visited The Chequers for lunch whilst doing an 8 mile walk. The staff were friendly and polite. The service was quick. My pint of Brakespears was in good condition. My sandwich was tasty and very substantial. I will be returning on my next hike in the area.

A real treat on a Friday night. Fantastic belly pork that had been slow cooked in a smoker. Nice bottle of Les Fiefs de Lagrange.

We are a group of walkers and have been to The Chequers a number of times and have always enjoyed our visits. However, our enjoyment during our last visit was someway short of what we had come to expect. The menu was very limited and the portions were very meagre and the service was a little lacking. Due to the size of the portions, when asked if we wanted any sauces, by the time the sauces arrived, some had finished their meals. So overall nothing to stop you visiting but there again, nothing to make you want to come back, other than the beautiful location.

I spend a lot of time here, and in my opinion, you can't beat it - especially when the sun is shining and you can sit in the beautiful beer garden in this gorgeous piece of English countryside and enjoy a glass of chilled wine and a pizza! It's family-friendly - I often bring my kids down here - and the food is always great. The staff are fantastic and it's a proper local boozer as well as somewhere to bring the family for a smart meal as a special treat. Must admit the wood-fired pizzas are my favourite things on the menu though!

Finished off our walk with a Sunday lunch here. A busy pub but didn’t wait long for our drinks and food. Good service. 3 of us had the roast beef - good size portions and 1 Moroccan lamb dish - tasty. Room for desserts too -Apple pie and white blonde. Lovely way to spend the afternoon.

Been here three or four times - it’s a lovely spot and a great dog-friendly garden. But can’t say we’ve ever left feeling “wow”. To be honest the only reason we return is that none of the other pubs in the Hambleden valley are any better and many are worse. The walks around the area are great, and it’s nice to break one with a stop at a pub. Sadly, when we last came, the ploughman’s - that staple of great pub grub & on the sample menu on line - had been taken off, seemingly in favour of a cheese and pickle sandwich - a doorstep of lovely bread but with a very mean portion of grated cheese and little more than a smear of pickle.

We went here at 1:30 for lunch, later than we’d plsnned and there were plenty of people there, but all credit to the staff the service was really efficient and the food was delicious. Beautiful setting. One of our new favourite places

Booked for Sunday lunch. The positives - Staff, food and location really great. Took 2 pork and 2 beef. Plenty to eat and good quality.

We dropped in as we were passing and were welcomed in by the staff. They went out of their way to accommodate us as we didn't have a reservation. A lovely quaint pub in the middle of nowhere! We were served quickly and the food was very good, but a little expensive. We would certainly eat here again if in the area. Much more welcoming than the hotel we were staying in! Plenty of parking spaces.

The interior of this pub is beautiful and the food matches. the menu is a little basic but all the food is done well and delicious. Great for couples or larger groups.

We booked a large party of 30 or so. Due to the number of guests we preselected from a smaller menu but everything was lovely and everyone I spoke to enjoyed their food. The staff were on hand to keep us suitably plied with wine throughout the night and nothing was too much trouble.

Stopped for lunch here on a circular walk, we were just after the kitchen cut off time for serving food but Jaxon agreed to fit our orders in. Really good burger and quality ham, egg and chips, in fact the food and ambience here was so good we returned for dinner. The lamb was amazing, Jaxon gave us both a drink on the house for stopping by for lunch and dinner. The bar staff were great, friendly and attentive and even gave us a lift back to our hotel as it was now too dark to continue on foot!! Amazing! Thank you Jaxon, Kevin & Gemma for a great evening, we will be back! Shelley & Lee

From the opening of the front door into we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff and quickly served. We had a great meal, food hot and tasty. Menu not extensive but something for everyone in our party. Had read some of the reviews and surprised by negatives comments. It's a good honest pub that clearly has a good chef and serves great food freshly cooked. It has a good selection of wines to suit most budgets and tasty beer. It doesn't pretend to be a wine bar or an overpriced restaurant but the proof is in the pudding...so make the effort and give it a go. We all loved the meal, the service and the evening.

We were looking for a small village pub with relaxed atmosphere, good food and with country walks from the car park. We weren’t disappointed...and it’s even dog friendly. A good selection on the menu prompted the three of us to take three courses, each picking something different. There were positive comments all around for the food quality and the service complemented the relaxed atmosphere too. We had booked a table for our Sunday visit and would recommend doing the same as there are few other options in the area should the pub be full on arrival.

A friend and I lunched here recently and I was very disappointed. The service was incredibly slow and the bread in my sandwich was stale. But it was the price that finished me off - £8 for a ham sandwich!! Won't be going back. Shame, as its a lovely pub with a great garden.

Researched and found this pub on line. Drove to Hambleden and followed signs to Fingest intending to have lunch. Plenty of room in rear carpark. Tables in garden. Entered back door and greeted by, presumably, landlord. Told it was too late for lunch (gone 2pm) and the kitchen was closed. Took seats on cushioned bench near fire and ate pkts. of crisps as not even a sandwich available. Had drinks. Before we left, a customer ordered puddings and these were provided and served in the garden!! I thought the kitchen was closed! Will not return.

We made a reservation and were greated warmly, had to prompt to get our table and service was reasonable. The pub is a lovely country pub feel, log fires, dogs aplenty and hard flagstone floors so boots are no problem.

We had booked lunch here after a walk in the surrounding hills. Pre-ordered champagne was served on arrival (it being a birthday) and the food was delicious, well-presented and reasonably priced. My kedgeree came with the curry sauce in a separate jug and was probably the best I've had anywhere.

My wife and I ate at the chequers late Friday evening. The food was generous and very good especially the pheasant. The staff were really friendly, helpful and made a lovely fuss over our dog. We plan to go back again.

Stopped for a snack on a sat lunchtime. No vegan options. £7.00 for a slice of toast with cheese on top. Literally nothing else on the long wooden board it was served on. Very disappointing. No real snacks just starters and main meals.

I have ridden my bike past this pub and decided to bring my family along to check it out. Fortunately they seated us without a reservation, but to be honest I think this was blind luck. They got pretty full on a Saturday!

This is a lovely country pub that serves excellent food. We had starters, main course and dessert and all our plates were emptied the food was so good. The service is friendly but efficient. As it was winter we sat inside but in the summer there is a garden with a large barbecue. There is also plenty of parking.

Excellent pub with a beautiful garden seating area. Great sandwiches, good beer, good service. A really good place for a rest!

If the weather is nice set in the beer garden. There are many high quality options on the menu. Fresh greens. Cheerful staff.

Four of us had a very pleasant day in Fingest and nearby Turville - lovely villages and notable back drop to TV series and films.

Today we came with my partner and daughter and stopped on the way to Henley. As soon as we walked into the garden we asked a member of staff if it was ok to just take a seat on a free bench in the garden. Her reposnse was yer yer and walked off. We then asked if they had a high chair please my partner was abruptly told they need to be booked in advance as they only have 2. He then asked when they would be in used and they was not being used till 3 and this was at 1 o’clock he was then reluctantly given the high chair. He then proceeded to the bar where he ordered and no please or thank you’s felt slightly hostile and not too friendly, this was the same on paying for the bill even after leaving a tip. Lovely place and really nice food just wasn’t a fan off some of the staff and didn’t feel hugely welcome.

We were a table of 4 mid week. The pub itself is lovely olde worlde atmosphere. The menu is good with just enough choice. We all had something different I had the Chilli Prawns, my husband had the Rare Roast Beef Salad, friends had the Crispy Belly Pork & Goat Cheese Bruschetta. The Bruschetta was burnt around the edge but the rest were delicious.

Jackson - owner/manager and a jolly man - greeted us all warmly. Seven of us had pre-supper drinks in the garden, enjoying the evening sunshine while chatting and making our menu choices. We went inside to have supper at 8pm and we were more than pleased with our choice of food. Empty plates was surely a good sign that the food was excellent and obviously freshly cooked. I look forward to visiting this very-English pub again one day.

The food is good and locally sourced. The staff are helpful and efficient and there is table service in the large garden nestled in the lee of the beautiful Chilterns.

Visiting Fingster with our family we are twice at The Chequers. The food is Fantastic. You must try the Welsh Rarebit. And if steaks are your thing they are cooked to perfection. We are here twice as the other pubs weren't as welcoming. The beer garden is lovely and on a nice day try and book a table in the garden. Friday night was pizza night. All cooked in the outdoor pizza oven. My kids love them. A Great place. The couple who manager and cook are great hosts and make you feel very welcome. We will be back.

Found ourselves in The Chequers at Fingest having walked out of The Bull and Butcher just up the road at Turville as, despite having booked a table 3 days in advance, we were told there was a 1 hour wait to be served.

Had pre-booked as visiting local winery and staying overnight. Good welcome but thought the menu was lacking in choice. Food that we had was good.

We have visited the chequers before and always been welcoming. This tine the whole bar / restaurant seemed really poorly run with only and average bank hol Sunday causing melt down. Wine was expensive and sold like warm, waited ages to order drinks, again to order food, again to pay and was overcharged (waiters honest mistake) food ok, dog fouling near to play area for children should have been dealt with by staff but seemed to be left.

Stopped here after failing to gain attention at the pub in Turville.

We called in after doing a circular walk of Fingest and Turville. It is a lovely, welcoming traditional pub. We just had drinks but the food menu looked good.

I used to visit this pub when I lived locally almost 12 years ago. It was good then, under different management, but excellent now. Gorgeous looking pub inside & out. Very pleasant staff, food was excellent! Good Brakspears on tap. We sat and eat lunch in front of the log fire, very relaxing. The local pheasant Kiev is a must! They do a mean omelette Arnold Bennett! We will most definitely return soon and start using this pub more frequently despite now living 30mins away. Highly recommend

After a really good circular c.4m walk (Fingest-Skirmett-Turville - which I highly recommend) that only a bit more sun might have improved, we arrived back at The Chequers, where we were welcomed to our reserved table. Service was friendly and we all greatly enjoyed our meals, which generally comprised two starters and were pretty good value, if maybe a bit higher priced than necessary.

We run (hash) ever Tuesday evening, come rain or shine, from pubs within a 10-mile radius of High Wycombe, and then all meet back at the pub we’d set off from for drinks, chips, and chat. All the pubs are independently assessed by ourselves on...

Really well located pub in the beautiful Hambleden valley. You can walk several ways from the pub with very little road work but be prepared for some hills (views are worth it!). Land lady and staff were really friendly and the food was fab. Dogs also welcome in the bar going back this Saturday for more of the same

We had a lovely dinner here, great ambiance and delicious food: fillet steak frittes and pheasant with dauphinois. Service was...

A great pub with a huge garden in a beautiful valley. Good atmospheric bar with a big restaurant.....commanded by Jackson...

Four of us were walking in the Chilterns and had planned a stop at the Chequers Inn. We arrived early...
