   Food was fantastic but found that the service was slow, we waited with our empty plates for quite a while before anyone came to take them away. We were put in what I believe they call the ‘balcony’ which is maybe why the service was slow but I don’t think that is an excuse. It took a while to get someone attention to pay the bill. But I would visit again for the food but not if the service level was the same.

   Outstanding food and service from the start. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Food was very good value for money considering how good it was. Can’t recommend this place enough and we are already planning a return visit.

   Great service, really excellent food and the staff turned my birthday into an occasion. Not cheap gastropub food - but still value for money. Downside, seating in the bar very '70s, low bench seats, rough, faintly sticky table surface and bench seats covered with something odd. Overall, great experience, we'll certainly be back, and will recommend the Chequers to our friends (but suggest that they eat outside..)

Had any of the team seen this happening, we would have stopped it immediately. We are sorry that this occurred.

    The greeting was nice, the staff were friendly and the service, you could not fault. The decor very tastegully done and lovely atmosphere. We expected the food to be much better than it was, considering it's supposed to have an award winning head chef. The steak had no flavour, we love our steak but we're not blown away by these, we had filet steak and were taken back by having to pay £36 for the steak and £5.50 each for chunky fries. The deserts were not overly exciting either. The meal cost us £137.98 for the two of us and we won't be visiting again, we've had 1000 times better at Miller and Carter. So I'm sorry to say we will not be returning.

    The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly. However, we’d booked an outside table well ahead (we came from an hour away for a birthday meal), and were offered a picnic style table right by the road. We were anticipating a nice outdoor meal in a garden setting, so were disappointed by that. So we sat indoors - that was lovely, and would be very cosy in winter.

    The Chequers at BurcotResponded on July 31, 2022Thank you KarinH for your feedback, we do appreciate it. It's great that you found the food lovely and the staff friendly. Sorry that on this occasion you were looking for a garden setting, sadly with the space we have this isn't possible. However we do have as many pictures as possible on our website which does show the outside space we have. Thank you for the recommendation and we hope that you will visit us again - a nice cosy visit in winter (or before).

    Our table was unfortunately a bit near the entrance to the kitchens , so lots of passing by the waiting staff , on one occasion my sit was knocked hard , although she did apologise. Also the music speak was above us so a bit loud ! As always service and food were excellent !

    Was recommended as a dining experience. Received a warm welcome upon arrival. It was a hot sunny day, so decided to sit in the shade. Our hosts brought out a table and extra chairs for the group without us asking. The food and service were great. Would recommend large groups ordering multiple small sharers as we did. Each of them tasted lovely. For the main, had fish of the day (sea bass) and really enjoyed it. We were all treated to a couple of mini cocktails, complimentary from the bar. All of the staff were friendly and very accommodating. Had a wonderful evening. Will definitely be back.

    Don’t believe the hype. We had heard so much about the venue, as well as the adverts on Jack FM, and had been meaning to visit. It certainly isn’t a Gastropub as it claims, the menu is average and it is very overpriced for what you get. Don’t bother. We’ll be going back to the Barley Mow in Clifton Hampden. Much better menu and value for money.
