Bar staff confused our booking with someone else's, and proceeded to tell us we had made the mistake. Extremely rude to us and made zero effort to help. My family will not be returning. Fortunately the Stag & Huntsman helped us out and we had a lovely meal there, and the staff were very attentive and welcoming.

Overall we enjoyed our meal at The Chequers. Good things; the atmosphere, and wine menu is excellent, the food was good with a mixture of local produce and meats. Areas for improvement; the staff on a couple of occasions took orders from us for an extra drink, and some horseradish, but neither orders materialised, guess they were busy and forgot, small detail but does stand out from the experience. We'll probably try again at some stage.

Great place and food, and, while the servers were attentive, it took way too long for the food to arrive at our table. We gave up on pudding after 20 minutes; they were good enough to offer it to us on the house, but it was a bit late by then. Update: we returned on a weekday and I've amended my review - great service & food this time. 🤤

Pretty gastro pub, right out in the countryside. Plenty of on site parking. In the summer good use is made of the garden for a drink or sit down eating. The food was very good, with something for everyone. Service was polite pleasant and attentive. I really liked this and will be going back when in the area again.

Had a lovely lunch here, staff were helpful and accommodated us when we wanted to switch tables. Food was good, we had pizza, fish and chips and chicken. Beware very tight lanes to get down here, but it’s worth it!

Came across this pub on a trip to somewhere else. Fantastic customer service , the food ( slightly pricey) was AMAZING!!! We ended up sharing a meal but it enjoyed every bit of it! Sat outside , bunch of guys sitting at a table very loud so we moved to diff table. People serving us could not have done a better job. Slight wait for our food but there has been a mix up & person serving apologised . We had not even noticed as it was busy outside so just thought it was taking slightly longer. Only negative as toilet seat was broken in men’s toilet -my husband brought it to the attention of the bar attendant who was a little dismissive about it. However we had a lovely time , great food , amazing service , lovely location , parking onsite , big beer garden. What is there not to like!!

Went here to round off a days experience present I’d bought for a friend. The food was fine and the staff are very able but not a feeling of welcome. Not a great experience to end what was to be a hopefully fun day with a friend

Chequers at Fingest had been on our list for a couple of times when we were @WhitePondFarm at Stonor. Arriving without booking we were kindly welcomed and allthough it was a busy Saturday evening we got a table rather quick. Staff was working hard but never in a hury, it al looked well organised and supervised. Cutlery and dishes spotless and clean, glasses shiny. You get a bottle of water per table on the house, which was very kind. On ordering we got sufficient information on what options and extras were available. We had the Chequers burger and the Super food salad. It didn't take long before being served our order, Drinks were very good (pints of beer and cider). We sat outside. Tables were standing with enough distance from each other to have enough space and privacy for our conversation. There is a large garden with a small playground for the children, a big private car park with overflow car park at the back and more than enough places to sit for small or larger companies. To finish up I had the Eton Mess, and in contradiction to the Eton Mess I just had a couple of days before (there was no Eton in it, just a mess), this one I really enjoyed, it tasted delicious. If you ever are in the area of Henley on Thames/Marlow area of wonder, then sure don't hesitate and go to Chequers in Fingest. Pre-ordering a table is recommended. On our walk we past Chequers the day after we had dinner and stopped for a drink. We can confirm our prior recommendation.

We arrived without a reservation to discover a huge daddy&daughter party had booked the restaurant. Fair play, if I had known how great the food here was I would have done the same,.I cannot fault their choice of location! The free parking behind the pub is a very nice touch. The staff were SUPERB, they let us know about the options from the main kitchen and the wood-fired pizza oven then made sure we had the best table available by offering us a move to a larger table when it became free. The food was equally wonderful. I chose the chipotle buttermilk chicken burger and my wife had the fish and chips. Both were exceptional. I'm only upset that we don't live closer.

We stumbled on the Chequers choosing somewhere at random to break a journey for lunch. It was a very lucky choice, it was heaven having lunch in the garden on a sunny day! The garden and pub are very picturesque, the garden tables are generously spaced apart with lots of room for our dog to sleep, the food was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive.

Stopped off for a drink I'm.the sunny beer garden. Wasn't expecting much but lovely and cosy inside. Fire was lit, preparedness. Especially as the Easter weather was still a bit nippy. Impressed with the effort and the guy who was wearing a smart, pressed, button down shirt who asked us if we would like to eat with them today. Top notch. Pubs MUST go the extra mile and this place did. We will be back. Thank you for working over Easter and welcoming us today.

Sunday roast was very good however we found ourselves slightly annoyed that 2 courses is a minimum and a 12.5% discretionary service charge now added. We like to choose whether to tip rather than the hassle of removing and then tipping if you wish. 2 courses as a minimum isn’t appropriate in a pub. The constant bass music drove me mad even though to be fair they did turn it down a little for us.

Lovely Sunday roast but the portion size of the meat is ridiculously small. For the price you would expect a more generous portion. Lovely pub but getting greedy with portion vs price.

I had been disappointed at this pub before but wanted to give it a second chance. Unfortunately the Sunday roast was disappointing again: beef was overcooked, potatoes were not crispy, and Yorkshire pudding tasted like it had been deep fried. The charcuterie board was advertised as 'Chilterns Charcuterie Board' but it was Parma ham and Chorizo. Shame as the pub is such a nice place; unsurprisingly there were not many people there despite the glorious day.

Ate Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and delicious vegetables, including cauliflower cheese. Roast potatoes (usually hit or miss in a pub) were delicious.

Sunday lunch - very decent food: skate wings (Sunday roasts also available). Nicely cooked and a good sized wing portion. A decent country pub & quite well done out (recent re-paint). Slightly let down by very bass-heavy music which didn't help conversation. Would be 5 🌟 without the music.

This was our first visit to The Chequers Inn at Fingest and certainly won’t be our last. It had a lovely atmosphere with such friendly and welcoming staff. We chose the Sunday Roast and have to say it was one of the best we’ve ever had - the beef was so tender and the portions generous and full of flavour. We’ll definitely be going back and taking friends with us next time. Thanks to all the team at The Chequers Inn! A very well deserved 5*’s!

Lovely village pub with fantastic friendly staff. Team have worked really hard to transform this pub into a family environment. Lots of events and the Sunday roasts are delicious. Dog friendly, lots of space and a great function room which is free to hire.

We were already apprehensive about our stay at Danesfield House Hotel & Spa due to the lack of communication prior to arrival. We had called a month in advance to book a couples massage and were told this would be fine and that we would receive a call to confirm payment. However, no such call ever took place. After weeks of trying, leaving voicemails without anybody returning our calls, somebody finally answered, and, to our dismay, informed us that a couples massage was no longer available. This was very upsetting, given we had previously been told our booking had been confirmed and that we would receive a call to make a payment over the phone. The only option, now, was to book two individual massages - which was not honouring our original agreement. However, after reluctantly agreeing to this, we were then called the next day to be asked if we minded moving the timing of that appointment! Apparently they prefer to arrange everything so it suits them. We, the paying guests, were inconsequential it seems. Now to our stay. Upon arrival, we were due to receive a bottle of champagne as part of our package. However, we did not receive it. Instead, we had to request it the following day where it did finally accompany our dinner. Had we not pushed on this matter, that bottle of champagne would have gone elsewhere (as I suspect was always the plan). The room that we were given was adequate at best. Mindful that we had not selected to stay in one of the more luxurious rooms, I was still rather alarmed at the exposed wall plugs in the bathroom where the radiator was noticeably coming away from the wall. There was also paint peeling off of the window frame in the bedroom, and all of the complimentary biscuits to accompany the teas and coffees were completely crushed. The other issue was that we were woken between 5 and 6am during both mornings of our stay by very loud footsteps and noise coming from the area above our room. Again, I am mindful that we hadn't chosen the most luxurious room, but the entire proposition is a 'luxury break' as you will see from their marketing literature. This was not supposed to be a Travelodge experience. At the end of what was supposed to be a relaxing retreat, we were not in the mindset to complain, but upon reflection, we think you should know that it was a disappointing stay. There were a couple of members of staff who were helpful and lightened the experience, but on the whole the customer service was not on a par with the experience that is portrayed by their website. We gave our feedback to Danesfield who did offer a complimentary night's stay, however, we weren't able to take this offer up for a while due to work and life commitments. When I did finally get around to organising our return stay, a member of staff rather abruptly told me I couldn't have it anymore! Nevermind then. I'd have been less inclined to write this review had they honoured that arrangement, considering there was no expiration date accompanying that offer.
