Used Choi's for the 1st time tonight. Has now become our new chinese take-away favourite! Four different dishes ordered, all ready and collected 20 mins later, big portions, cooked well, nothing was greasy, value for money was incredible.
Ordered off uber eats. Father from south africa was down for a visit. Ordered 5 burgers, 5 loaded fries and fish & chips. Fish was way over cooked, dry and cremated. Only one of the burgers was edible as the other 4 chicken burgers were so over cooked the kids had to deconstruct them and we had to cut the patties for them. Also ordered the spicy Korean chicked strips. Dry, cold and hard. Loaded fries was 70% sauce and 30% chips. Total cost was £87. Called restaurant to complain and was just told a manager would call me back. Never happened. Called uber eats and they refunded £3. Used this place many times but what we went through a few days ago, I would not recommend it at all. Still waiting for the call back.
An exceptional dining experience. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The service was attentive yet relaxed, and the atmosphere was elegant without being stuffy. A true gem for food lovers seeking fine dining. Highly recommended
This is our go to for curry. Very tasty . Service is amazing, we had a delivery where they forgot our popadoms, the owner personally delivered them to us very quickly . Thank you for great food and outstanding service, highly recommended x
The Best Pub in Thame, in my opinion. Our second visit here when in this area. The friendly welcome, great prices and choice of beers and drinks, all in a traditional English Pub atmosphere is superb. The Ambience is wonderful, choice of food and quirky character is just superb. Outside garden and central location is perfect. We will always visit here when in Thame. Today, I’m not driving and able to sample some real ales. A perfect way to down St George’s day. A pint and a ploughmans with my wonderful wife.
Went to The White Hart in Nettlebed on Easter Sunday for a family dinner. We all decided on a carvery as we had been previously, but many years ago and had enjoyed! Unfortunately to our dismay the food was horrible, and did not taste like a roast dinner should. The service was not good either and everything seemed to be rushed and a bit chaotic!
We were very disappointed especially when this pub used to be so nice!
Unfortunately we shall not be returning!
we had a late afternoon booking & the starters were good, but the Sunday roast was a shocker - look warm, meat portions were too small & the frozen roast potatoes were dry & tasteless ... I recommend if you want a Sunday roast, get to the pub at 12 noon & avoid our problems
Turned up for a pre booked lunch with our friends, immediately after they were married in Newbury. Restaurant was closed. They had not bothered to notify us and 6 weeks later there is still no apology! Absolutely disgusting way to behave. Don’t deserve to be in business.
It was the first time that I was disappointed with the lack of flavours in all the food. What a shame after many years of serving a good food. I hope you'll get better soon so I can enjoy your food again.
recently had dinner at The Chequers in Watlington, and I honestly didn’t expect to find such fantastic Chinese food tucked inside a traditional English pub. From the outside, it looks like your classic 16th-century village inn—with wooden beams and a cozy, lived-in charm—but once you see the menu, the surprise hits: authentic Thai cuisine.
We started with the chicken satay and spring rolls, both of which were fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. For mains, I went for the green curry, and my partner chose the pad Thai. The curry was perfectly spiced, not overwhelmingly hot, but rich and full of flavour. The pad Thai was equally good—light, slightly sweet, and packed with prawns
The service was warm and attentive, even though the restaurant was quite busy. Our server checked in just enough without being intrusive. We sat in the conservatory, which has a relaxed atmosphere and a lovely view of the garden.
Overall, The Chequers blends old-world British pub coziness with seriously good Thai cooking. It’s definitely worth a visit—whether you're a local or passing through. Just don’t expect pie and mash—this place is all about bold, Southeast Asian flavours in a very English setting.
