The Chequers in Rushcliffe

The martins arms was bought by an idiot. Best pub for miles, mark is a fantastic landlord

Lovely Sunday dinner, A bit run down, wouldn't go again.

Brilliant village pub, great atmosphere, cosy real fire, Guinness is the best around the vale of belvoir. Thursday is pizza night, 2 home made pizzas and chips for £13, great value and delicious. Sunday dinners are great value for money but you have to order in advance as they sell out every weekend. Sunday afternoon there’s a chance of free roast potatoes.

Stopped off for a quick bite on the way past on a detour off a chocker M1; very warm welcome and very tasty fresh pizza. Lots of four legged friends as well so ours was very welcome too. Would stop again.

Enjoyed a nice pint with friends.

Travelling from Tattershall to Derby we went off main route to find a village pub that did a Sunday lunch. Called at the Chequers Inn, good car park and friendly welcome. Two of us had Beef and one had chicken with plentiful vegetables. Very satisfied and good value for the money.

Good value food and a warm welcome

Went for Sunday lunch. The food was nice but the service was, shall we say sparse, and after eating it seemed like they completely forgot about us altogether

Popped in to see if food available and dog friendly. Greeted with a smile and "of course" Fantastic value meals cooked quickly and well presented. Two mains for £12, much better quality and quantity than others( Wether....s) A great find, thank you.

Lovely Sunday dinner , best I have had in ages from a pub

Lovely family running this establishment

Been to a friend's wedding reception, place is really nice compared to my last visit many years ago. Friendly staff.

Very nice little village pub...

Called in on impulse today as everywhere else I called were fully booked.What a lovely place! Staff were so welcoming and food was amazing.Will definitely be returning.

Thank you! So kind to us yesterday.

Lovely meal and plenty of it very friendly and great value and service welldone

Staff make this place feel really comfy and service is good.

Very relaxed environment. Wondeful wood fire.

Only had a beer which was good and good value. The other pub in the village was shut at 2pm!!

What a lovely place. We went here for the first time on Sunday. Staff were great and food was very good. Best roast beef I can remember eating! Very dog friendly. We will certainly be back, highly recommend.

Can’t fault this place. Desperate to visit the other two pubs too.

One of our favourite places to eat in the area, the ambience is great whatever time of day/night you choose to be there. Staff are attentive and polite, food is great. We’ll be back!

Good food in a comfortable environment, plenty of space between tables

I loved it here my only criticism is I had the mushroom tagliatelle it was very runny! It was like a soup with pasta in it! Very tasty! It’s also very cold in the pub everyone sits with the coats on! We will return as it was excellent

Absolutely brilliant. The staff and food are first class. We love going!!

Very disappointed in this, went there looking forward to a decent steak but the meat was tough and tasteless. Chips nothing special and salad leaves hadn't been dried properly so the overall taste was watery dressing. The boy who served us was also behind the bar and was wearing a tee shirt covered in stains ... not appealing from the outset. Wouldn't go back.

We are going back next week for another lovely meal

Fantastic food & service in a charming relaxed atmosphere.

Attention to detail in every aspect & with well rehearsed ease, The Chequers at Churchill is surely a contender for ‘Greatest Pub in the Land’. Always fabulous, creative, attentive, happy people & atmosphere - wonderful food & drink - beautiful decor & lighting - A place to truly relax, enjoy & unwind. Have fun.. I always do!

As always a great menu and fantastic food. Service is always good and the pub has a great atmosphere. Tempted to move to Churchill so the pub is with walking distance! Without doubt one of my favourite pubs.

Had a lovely time as always. Staff are friendly and attentive. Looking forward to going again soon. Highly recommended

Great food, great atmosphere. Service a bit sketchy- individually the service was good but wasn’t joined up, not very attentive. The service doesn’t match the standard of food.

The waiters didn’t appear to be trained they leant across guests to serve others on the other side of the table. The food was expensive compared to the quantity will not go again

Great village pub, atmosphere really friendly, helpful team and very good food.

Excellent food, service and place. We love it

Beautiful food in a cosy warm setting. Service was a little slow when we first arrived but then the rest of the time was exceptional.

It was our third visit to The Chequers and it never fails to impress - the manager and staff really care about your experience; food was excellent btw.

Food was fantastic, however the service was woeful. Took ages to get served...even had to go and find someone to place an order.

We all loved the food and had the best evening, thank you all :0)

Great venue really cosy place for a proper Sunday lunch after a nice walk had a nice relaxing drink then into the dining room for a lovely roast beef lunch. Staff were very helpful and the pub is very dog friendly which was ideal for us A very enjoyable meal very easy to relax in the Chequers

Love this place! . A cosy authentic pub that also serves great food!

This place is lovely. You will not regret coming here! Couldn’t have been happier with my choice to come!

We found this venue by chance. The meals were large portions and reasonably priced. We would recommend it for a nice country pub.

Really relaxing friendly pub. Excellent food and service.

Well over priced and quality not as good! Sunday roast is £21

Recently moved into the area and have now eaten here twice, once during the week and once for a Sunday Roast. Genuinely excellent on both occasions. The choices are excellent as is the service. Nothing negative to say at all here.

Our second visit, and it was excellent. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was just right.

Chequers is a pub we return to every time we visit the Cotswolds. It has a lovely buzzy atmosphere every time we go and the food is consistently really good. Highly recommend.

Lovely pub, warm welcome, delightful ambience, friendly and efficient service and our starters were excellent. However, 3 of our group ordered Welsh Rarebit which was, alas, not only very unappealing to look at but the cheese topping, in addition to not being quite hot enough, was virtually fluid and the toast underneath it therefore completely soggy - sorry, but it wasn’t up to much. Hungry after a long drive and after such a promising start to our lunch, this was very disappointing.

Best sunday roast we’ve ever had in a pub. Cannot fault one thing on my plate. This is the second sunday roast we’ve had here & the first one was brilliant but they exceeded themselves on our second visit. Lovely kind helpful staff, roaring fire, dogs, and amazing food & wine.

Loved the Chequers. It was recommended by a work colleague and we were very happy with the recommendation. The Chequers has a great atmosphere, good layout so you aren't squashed right next to the table next to you and the food is amazing! Also we liked it as they didn't rush as which so often happens these days. We will definitely go there when we are next in the Cotswolds.

Special evening event to celebrate Beaujolais Noveaux - complete change to the usual menu, selection of traditional french dishes - a very enjoyable evening in our favourite pub

The food was lovely and Vincent and his team were very accommodating. We were the only ones in the restaurant so whilst it was fab to be able to speak to each other it lacked the ambience which it would have had on a busier evening. We went back for drinks the next day and it was much buzzier. Would recommend it and am disappointed not to be there for their Beaujolais Nouveau experience

Welcoming staff who were very dog friendly. The food was delicious and was served quickly (perhaps because we had a 12 noon booking on a Sunday so first in the door), which made my mother very happy. Beautiful setting. We only wished we were local to be able to go here regularly for food & enjoy having a drink by their cosy fire. Highly recommend.

Excellent ambience, service and food. The Head Waiter was very knowledgable re the menu and drinks. Very impressed altogether.

I have chosen the same meal before, the cheese souffle was still excellent, but the duck salad was nowhere near as good, which is a real shame, my husband's burger was also a bit dry. Shame, as we love it here.

Great atmosphere, and sublime food. We lunched on a busy Sunday, and were sat upstairs in the private "for hire" room. Downstairs roaring log fire - which will definitely coax us for a return visit! and lots of diners accompanied by beautiful, well behaved dogs. Gluten Free options were readily available, simply ask... Highly recommend!

Sunday lunch is fabulous here. All the roasts..choice of three..were delicious. Amazing vegetable selections..carrots,parsnips, red cabbage, cauliflower and roast potatoes. Highly recommend as usual!

Absolutely brilliant country pub with excellent food and wine. Staff were great. Would absolutely come back.

Booked in for a Sunday roast, the chicken and the beef roasts were very tasty. The food arrived quickly and hot. Lots of tasty veg accompanying the meal. Service was with a smile. Would recommend the Sunday roasts.

Excellent food, service and ambiance. Will return!

Food was brilliant. Had the chicken schnitzel and hot dog, both specials. Our favourite pub in the Cotswolds. Love it!

We waited half an hour to be seated at a tiny table below the bar rather than in the dining room (I had booked the table weeks in advance). We were brought the wrong meals after another half hour and then the service charge was left on the bill. Food was nice enough but the roast potatoes were enormous and undercooked.

What a good find- Sunday lunch was perfectly cooked and presented. Service was excellent with friendly helpful staff. Couldn’t fault this experience at all.

Brilliant as always - good food - friendly staff and manager - made to feel very welcome

food was lovely, it was what it said on the menu, staff friendly especially the Pub Manager (Victor).

Having worked at the chequers in Churchill under a previous management, I recommended it to my group of friends for a birthday meal. We are aware the prices are a bit higher but I know the food is excellent. We were seated late and a number of options were not available on the menu, and we weren’t given the option of pre-ordering. Before the evening got any more frustrating, my friends went to speak to the manager to raise awareness at the time that we weren’t particularly pleased. This conversation resulted in the manager making my friend cry. Having worked in hospitality (as has she) I was appalled that management were so rude and upsetting. The rest of the evening was then uncomfortable and the promised discount was not taken off the end bill PLUS a £40+ service charge was added. I am so embarrassed that I recommended this restaurant and won’t be doing so again.

Always lovely food, great service and a warm welcome :-)

The food was amazing, the hospitality was fantastic. the wine list is extensive and interesting. Two faults; we have been twice, once in 2018 and again in 2019, and their meat slicer was broken both times so we are yet to enjoy the charcuterie! Also, for reasons unexplained, our martinis were served at room temperature. Absolutely everything else has been perfect both times we've visited, and next time we'll specify the martini to be shaken on ice, or else stick to the wines. Last year we stopped for lunch and split the fried chicken and the French dip beef sandwich. This year we came for dinner and had the half-pint of prawns, oysters, and a scotch egg to start, and the chateaubriand for 2 to follow. Both times we split the banoffee pot. Everything was incredible. My partner asked me to give this in writing; I am a big fan of Bearnaise sauce, and the Bearnaise at Chequers is excellent. But (the shocking part) the peppercorn sauce was actually better. I doubt I'll ever say that about another peppercorn sauce in my life. Very, very good.

A superb value Sunday lunch of excellent quality with very friendly and efficient service. We will be back!

Lovely food, was pretty quite in there but it was late in the day. Great friendly service

The food is incredible. Venison pie just outstanding. Cheese souffle to die for and a lemon tart just stunning.

Two of us had dinner here on a Thursday evening. The welcome from the host was lovely. From there, however, it went a bit downhill. After a wait, we flagged down a waitress to order drinks and food. We ordered two glasses of champagne, and when they arrived, were completely flat. We flagged the same server down and as she came to the table she asked if the drinks were flat. We took this to mean they were aware of the poor quality and still served the drinks. They were replaced. The food itself was fine. Prepared well, though my partner's hake was a tadge on the greasy side. We were taken aback by the size of the dish versus the price. It was £20 for literally a bit of fish, with some fennel on top, on a plate. Sides were £4.95 which I feel is a bit pricey given they must know people need sides to fill up. Any time we needed attention we had to flag someone down, which wasn't ideal, but more of a nuisance than anything. So overall, the service, while friendly enough when at the table, was evasive; the food, while good though not mind blowing, was overpriced; and the atmosphere was nice, though just a gastro pub type place. There are plenty of other places in the area that do better so we'll probably give this one a miss.

The Chequers in Churchill could not have been a better choice of restaurant to celebrate our mum’s 80th birthday. Loved every minute. Staff were so friendly and efficient and food was delicious and fresh.

Very nice evening spent, good food. Very quiet atmosphere. Staff were on point. Not a huge range of choices on the menu. Will be a returning customer sometime soon.

Lovely decor and atmosphere, good service. Food was enjoyable but could have been better - overcooked egg on haddock, broccoli could have done with some cooking and also chunky chips a bit under too. Steaks were perfectly cooked. Overall all four of us thought a little overpriced for what we had.

Food very good, though table draughty thanks to bro g near rear entrance. Noisy children spoilt the ambience- though the restaurant can’t be blamed for that.

Brilliant experience and fantastic food. The Sole was cooked to perfection!

Always good. The cheese soufflé is a big draw!! Thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed the attentive and personal service at The Chequers. Very child-friendly with an extensive children’s menu, which is quite unusual. Great space and not cramped at all. I felt we had lots of time to enjoy our meals and our friends’ company but service was always on hand if needed. Highly recommend and will return!

The food was excellent especially the rib eye that I had it was gorgeous. Even my wife who will only eat fillet tried two chunks and loved it which is unheard of! The service was very good, the clientele a little snooty but that goes with the area. The wine list was great with some fabulous wines that even I would struggle to justify at £280 for tea at the local pub. We had the whole shebang at £44 which was aged in french oak so needed food to soften the oaky finish, fabulous wine my steak

We were really pleasantly surprised by our visit to the Chequers. We visited on the Bank Holiday Weekend and the great weather meant that the pub was quiet. The food was terrific, much better than we remembered it. It is also very well priced and seemed better value than before. I understand that it is now in new hands, having passed through one or two previous owners in its current guise. It has always been a very nice looking pub and remains as it was, only with a new sharpness to the cooking. Whilst the pub looks unchanged, the cooking demands a revisit from locals that might have moved onto other places.

Outstanding service and very friendly ambience plus delicious dishes make this one of the best pubs in the Cotswolds.

Went for a Sunday roast. On ordering was told only three roasts left and of the three left over, only enough vegetables for two....we were a family party of 8 very disappointed Sunday roast fans. We arrived on time at 5pm and were advised on booking that Sunday roast menu goes until 6pm but still they couldn’t anticipate or plan for their clients. Zero empathy from the staff who you thought would have 1. Tried harder to rectify and 2. Been a little apologetic, couldn’t even do that. Very poor.

The service was slow. We have eaten at the Chequers before and forgot about the service charge ! it was completely disproportionate to the quality of the food which even though late afternoon was not a patch on other pubs we have had a late Sunday roast at.

Service was impeccable from the moment we sat down and the food was delicious - we will definitely return

Delicious food - smoked haddock was really good, very friendly service as well .

Warm welcome, excellent service and food was very good. My double cooked cheese soufflé was particularly memorable. Just the sort of pub I like we ate in the bar area which was really great on a wet August day with the log fire burning.

The food was lovely, except the samphire which was rather woody - possibly too late in the season? The staff were charming but service was a bit slow

Always great food and good hospitality

We are a mature couple who had booked a table for 8pm Friday night. We were told that there was a party in and to expect some delay. We ordered our meals by 8.30 and ten minutes later we were told that one of the meals was not available. We re-ordered and ten minutes later we were told that one of the meals was not available. 5 minutes later we were told that one of the meals was not available. Considering that the menu was not extensive we concluded that the kitchen was had seriously messed up its ordering. At no time did a member of management talk to us or apologise. The drinks were silly expensive. £12 for a pint of cider and a Cotswolds Baileys equivalent. Wine was also expensive. Our experience was not good!

Our food was excellent and the Cote de Boeuf was amazing, as was the ribeye steak. Only disappointment is that we visited this pub three times (not to eat on each occasion) and my husband tried a pint of the local brew, Hooky. First day, the beer was off - cloudy and not very pleasant; second visit the beer was lovely; third visit, the beer was off again! Also, we found the wine list quite pricey. So, a lovely village pub, with good food, but they don’t know how to keep their beer so we ventured to the nearby free house at Bledington, where they did pull a very good pint.

Reality of the very disappointing food didn’t match the good reviews. Chef must have been on holiday as our meals were pretty dreadful.

Thanks for giving us the table we requested. Food was excellent as always and great value

Great food Lovely pub in nice village Highly recommend

Menu disappointing in variety also no specials board. Tiered furniture in bar with unclean chairs. Fish and chips very good .

We were staying back in the Cotswolds. We ate at the Chequers 2 years ago and always said we'd return. The bar was alot busier and staff were working hard on Tuesday evening. Service was ok. A couple of requests for food and drink had run out. Overall it was still a good meal but didnt quite have the professional edge that we had experienced before.

Food was excellent, service was personal and pretty quick, atmosphere and setting very agreeable

Although there were a few minor issues we love the place, the ambiance, the food and will be back

Fantastic food and fantastic service at what I believe are very reasonable prices. The building itself is well maintained and the atmosphere is very much of a well attended local. Will visit again very soon, can recommend the fish and chips.
