We returned for a Sunday roast and it was absolutely amazing. We both had trio of roasts and the plates came with vegetables, cauliflower cheese and lots of gravy on the side. We both also chose banoffee pie for dessert which we polished off before taking a photo. The food and service was second to none. Best Sunday roast we have ever had. Highly recommended.

Father’s Day family meal, 7 of us and we pre-booked via email. The lady who dealt with us over email was extremely prompt and helpful. The staff was welcoming when we arrived, it wasn’t long until we received our order too. We all had roast and the veg comes out separately, like sharing style which actually we thought wouldn’t go around us but there was more than enough! Was all so lovely. A nice selection of puddings to choose from. We all had a pudding and all loved them. Honestly, the food was beautiful! The staff were lovely, the pub was clean, cute and cosy. Definitely would recommend and will be going back. Thank you 😇

My husband and I only stopped for a quick drink as we were passing through. The bar maid,Martina, was friendly and welcoming and she recommended a lovely rose wine. We didn’t have time to stay for food but we saw a few roast dinners being sent to tables and we will definitely make time to go back and try the roasts! They looked tasty! Dogs are allowed which is lovely and we will definitely be visiting again.

First visit for my daughters 50th. Lovely old country pub. Good selection of beers and ales. A good choice of stsrters on the menu, not a great many, but nicely done. Chili mango prawns were very good, chicken liver pate looked homemade, garlic breads were very good too. Sunday roasts were a good size and beautifully cooked. We did order extra vegetables . There were several vegetarian choices too. Far too full to order puddings but there was a good selection. The front bar/ dining room is dog friendly always a plus for us. The staff were all very friendly and knew the menu, including the wine menu ,well. We throughly enjoyed out time here. There is a latge garden too so a summer visit is a must too.

Never disappoints. As usual a fabulous roast dinner. I always have the ‘small’ roast but it’s still a generous portion. Choice between lamb, pork, beef, chicken. Lashings of delicious gravy. Plenty of vegetables. Beautifully cooked and served separately. Perfect roast potatoes . The best value for money Sunday Roads in the area. The sticky toffee parfait was glorious. Service with a smile. Lovely genuine people, who greet you like friends. Dog friendly. Very good wine list.

(Update below) A great pub. I was very happy with the selection of beers on tap. Decent covid measures in place with an effective one way system and plenty of hand sanitizer dotted around. The staff were nice and friendly as were some the other customers who chatted to us while we were there. **Update: Located in the quiet Kentish village of Doddington, this is a lovely traditional country pub. We have been back a few times now and we are never disappointed. A friendly pub with the normal high standards you would expect from any Shepherd Neame pub. The food is very tatsy and the service is equally as good. Usually, I stop off here when on a bike ride as there is some amazing countryside around here to explore and very little traffic. Will back back again soon. 😀

Had the chilli burger stack (can't remember the name) and it was one of the best burgers I think ive eaten, even asked if they have the chilli relish/sauce they use to buy and the cook makes it himself, unfortunately they don't sell it but if they did it would sell amazing. As you walk in they even had the real fire place going, cozy, warm, friendly and such a welcoming atmosphere! Even allow dogs to chill out too. Definitely will return

Delightful cottage style pub in the quiet village of Dodington. They serve well prepared and tasty food with friendly service. I went on an 'open mic' night and the setup and sound was great with a fairly diverse array of talent on display. I'd say it's one you MUST visit at least once.

Quaint country pub with a lovely ambience made nicer by the lovely girls working there who were very attentive. We all had the roast. Great portions of meat and loads of lovely fresh veg with a generous jug of delicious gravy. Although presently full we still managed a dessert from of nice choice of puds crumbles and banofee pie Would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

Excellently situated in a quiet local village. We tried our classic family favourite, a ploughman’s lunch. Some pubs give you the bear minimum to nibble on. But, the Chequers excelled themselves. Not only decent size portions but a large variety of local produce including Homemade coleslaw, thinly cut fresh ham, cheeses and chutneys. Their ploughman’s lunch was well worth the price. Deserts were the same. Decent size single potions. With a choice of accomplishments like cream, custard or ice cream. I had banoffee pie with ice cream circular biscuit base, a thick layer of toffee and banana and a very generous helping of cream. The banoffee was out of this world. All of the staff especially the barmaid. We’re friendly, polite and very welcoming.

Vicky and the team did a fantastic job of providing great customer service and making a fun evening of our visit. She made abundant effort to make space for 2 us to dine even when there physically was none available, and followed up with good laughs, great knowledge, and going out of her way to help. On that alone i would highly recommend this pub to everyone, but the food was also delicious too with generous portoin sizes. There is a good selection of drinks and dogs are welcome in the bar side, but not the restaurant side, which i think was a great decison to allow visitors the choice.
