   Fantastic service, couldn't have been more helpful. Lovely environment with classic features inside and a beautiful thatched roof. Lovely gardens with plenty of space. Food was stunning, we had Sunday roast (best I've had in a long time) and peach/apple crumble for pudding. Also benefit of being a member of Britstops so able to stay over in the car park with our camper which afforded us a few more beers. I would highly recommend.

   We stopped off here for lunch after a walk in the surrounding area. Eating out can be very tricky for me as I am intolerant to gluten and dairy and I don't eat meat. The menu here had some really lovely options for me to choose from and everything on the menu was labelled very clearly so I didn't have to feel like a nuisance. Everything we ate was delicious and the service was outstanding. We'll definitely be back!

   Always a lovely welcome here so decided to take some friends. They really enjoyed it too. Food was very tasty and service excellent. A slight negative were the chips which were not their best having had perfect ones up til then.

    We've always have a good meal here, this one was no exception. Varied menu, some traditional dishes, chefs burger is always a good choice. I had the pork loin chipotle slices on spinach with a blueberry gel and crispy potatoes. It was a brilliant combination and absolutely delicious! Friendly staff and good service.

    Lovely old Pub. Very Friendly and helpful Waitress. Food good but not amazing. Biggest let down was that we had already decided what we wanted from the menu online. The Menu was a lot different and did not have any of the dishes we had chosen online. I appreciate it us seasonal but it does not take long to download an up to date Menu. We will return.

    The pub was excellent, but the Open Table booking form needs significant revision. The 10 grace period is threatening and the table allocation time by number of guests is ridiculous. Far too structured. I will avoid using Open Table and use the phone in future. I have deleted the app which bombarded me with unwanted messages.

    After not visiting for probably at least 10 years I thought I’d treat the other half to an Easter Sunday lunch I wasn’t disappointed on my return to The Chequers Hainford. Great tasting Roast beef Sunday lunch with a plate full to satisfy most people. Will definitely return before the next 10 years lol

    Lovely venue can get a bit noisy in the side areas which we sat in. The food is of good choice but the cheese and onion pie wasn’t as good as I had hoped but was ok. Service was ok had to chase up for the bread and oil. £104 for 4 people - 1 starter, 4 mains, 6 drinks

    Having never had a bad meal at the Chequers, we decided to book for mothers day. We were unaware that the place has obviously changed ownership since our last visit (it was a couple years ago now due to covid). The menu was quite restricted compared to what it used to be but it was understandable for sunday/mothers day. Three members of our party opted for the beef which was very tough though they did comment that it tasted nice. Two members had gammon which was nice and you got a good few slices. The roast potatoes were a bit tough to cut into but the veg in general was ok and the yorkshire puddings were nice and large. Desserts were mostly a hit apart from the rice pudding which was very dry. Overall it wasn’t a bad meal, but when compared to previous visits it was bit of a let down. It is a shame as they have done the place up lovely.

    Disappointing. We both had the roast, my husband had gammon which he said was very nice and I had roast beef. Both meals were only lukewarm which was our same experience only a month before. I did provide feedback at the time so was surprised to find this was still the case on our second visit. The beef was overcooked, and sliced quite thickly so it was difficult to cut and chew. The roast potatoes were so hard in parts I was unable to cut through the roasted outside and I certainly wasn’t going to try to bite or eat as I was worried that I would break a tooth. I chose the rice pudding for dessert, my husband had the rhubarb sundae. There was only 3 small pieces of rhubarb and the rest was cream and some ice cream. My rice pudding was just a bowl of stodge. There was no moisture or liquid in the pudding at all. The cherry compote topping provided a small amount of moisture. The menu described it as creamy but there was nothing creamy about it. We won’t be returning unfortunately.

    Absoutely lovely, I was late booking mothers day and got ouside seating which was in a lovely oudoor heated courtyard. The staff are very attentive and super friendly. Since being brought over this place is so much better, alot more open inside and the quality of the food is so much nicer, meat and fish options we're really good quality, will definitely be coming back only thing I would mention would be maybe different vegan/vegetarian options, what options they had starter wise was lovely but the med veg lasange was overcooked and didn't have a huge amount of flavour. The leek and potato samosas were lovely though! But I'm just glad that there is options here now as I used to love this pub. Will definitely be returning. They've done a such a good job in turning this beautiful pub around! Thank you

    Service was very good. Food was warm / cold in places - which is a shame as it looked nice and was tasty, however we do like hot roasts. Nice selection of meats.

    Food is wonderful but seating was a problem. We sat in the new courtyard but I have never been so uncomfortable eating a meal. The stools to the barrel tables were to high and very uncomfortable. Myself and others had to bend down to eat our meal. You could not get your knees under the table. Asked to be moved but this could not happen due to other bookings but tables were empty!! I think the seating needs to be re thought in the courtyard.

    Food was terrible. We all had roast dinners. The meats were tough, the vegetables were undercooked (and we like our vegetables with bite) and the gravy was watery and tasteless. The table next to us complained also. We had desserts. Two of them were nice, but I had the rice pudding. It was like eating a bowl of plain rice that had been cooked with sugar instead of salt. There was no liquid whatsoever, just completely dry. I didn't eat it. Both the waitress and the manager agreed that it was not good and yet they still charged me £7 for it!! We've visited this pub quite a few times over the years and the food has always been nice. I am not sure what has happened, and usually I would give a place the benefit of the doubt and assume it was an off day. But being charged full price for poor food when you have complained is just bad customer service and means that we will not be going back again.

    Took my partner here for her birthday treat as we were staying overnight at hotel in Norwich. Had done some research on Google when looking for somewhere as I have coeliac disease so have to be glutenfree and wanted somewhere that had gf choices. This place exceeded all expectations, numerous glutenfree choices and even had glutenfree draught beer on tap. Both myself and my partner who doesn't have to be glutenfree thoroughly enjoyed our meal here,The food and service were excellent, best meal I have had for a long time and would definitely recommend.
