As great as usual....food and drink are faultless as is the service. This is a 'mint' pub and worth going to extra mile to visit.

This was our first visit to The Chequers Inn after a few months. The menu has changed and not for the better. The menu was previously very innovative and more interesting than usual pub food. Unfortunately The Chequers Inn seem to have reverted to traditional pub food. My fish and chips was okay. Not the standard I would have expected from the chef. The fish portion was small and soaked in grease. The accompanying chips were in contrast a far too large portion. It was a busy Saturday evening and we were sat down at our table after a longish wait at the bar. The waitress didn’t ask if we wanted any drinks when she sat us down. We were waiting for around 15 minutes and nobody came to the table. My husband went to the bar to get our drinks. Overall it was a disappointing experience as The Chequers Inn was always our place to go to eat well and differently. Won’t be rushing back.
