| After reading the review from wdawson77 about this pub I felt I had to write about my experience to let other readers know what this pub is realy like. I also live quite a distance from Weston on the Green (45mins) but never mind the drive as I know I will have a superb meal in a lovley pub. From the outside it is an attractive thatched pub and has plenty of car parking spaces. There is also a nice garden seating area for when we do have those sunny days! Inside is very cosy with inglenook fire places and beams. The staff I have found on every occasion are extremley helpful and friendly and on the whole realy do make you feel welcome. The first time I visited this pub was just my wife and I and we went for Sunday lunch. We were told we would have to wait for a table to become available as all were taken, this is something I never mind as its a good sign a place does good food. Anyway the lady made us feel like we wasnt in the way and showed us to a seating area in the pub where we could wait opposite a lovley fireplace that I imagine in winter to be lovley. It was actually quite nice to sit there and have a drink before being taking to our table. The Sunday roast that we both had was fantastic and the quality of the meat was outstanding. We were offered the desert menu but sadly declined due to their portions however the menu looked very tempting and promised that next time we would defiantley treat ourselves. We have visited this pub many times now with family that have come to visit us and friends and have certainly reccommened this to nearby neighbours of ours. The menu is great and has something to offer everybody and they have a great selection of Specials that is good for someone like myself who has been there several times. I work in London and have dined there many many times but can honestly say this pub certainly offers superb food. You can tell that everything is fresh and has great flavour and the presentation is one of the best. We have since then tried their deserts and unfortunatley cannot resist now every time we go there...they truly are amazing and a real must! Not so good on the old waistline though. I would just like to say to all of those looking for an unbeatable pub with such great character and above all very friendly staff and food that can only be described as Superb, then this realy is the place to go. I have heard they do a midweek Cavery but unfortunatley due to work unable to go there but no doubt that it would be a very enjoyable meal. We are though looking forward to having our Christmas day there with our family and have every confidence they will make it yet another special and memorable day. Please Chequers...do not change a thing and keep up the good work. J Hall jameshall10 - 18 Aug 2008 23:44 |
| what a lovely looking pub, we were meeting friends that we haven't seen for a while and it took each party an hour to drive to this pub. However things soon went down hill once we were deciding what to eat! The pub had sold out of chicken and steak...on a thursday night! 3 out of the 4 starters were ok, the soup; basil and tomato came out of a heinz tin and had no basil to be seen, it was untouched the waitress noticed and commented but didn't come back to us on it and it wasn't removed from the bill! During the main course I ordered a red wine which came out in what I can only describe as an over sized novelty brandy glass - I had to decanter it in to a more suitable wine glass! The main course came out, 2 of us had the lamb in a red wine sauce. The piece of lamb was massive, good idea if it was actually cooked and we could get a knife through it no steak knife was offered and the wine sauce was tasteless, so in the end we gave up eating just as my parters piece started bleeding! As for the accompaniments of potato's I was told I was having mash when I ordered new, which came out to me just as i had decided to give up eating and the chips which came out for 2 of our party were placed next to one person at the far end of the table so we thought more were coming but they didn't. To top it off my friend who had the measly portion of dried out salmon and parma ham has been struck down by food poisoning today and for someone who is self employed that's pretty costly. The bill was large for really a very disappointing meal. I'm just glad we were in nice company other wise the night would have been a real disaster. wdawson77 - 8 Aug 2008 15:13 |
| I completely disagree with the previous comment. We went for a late supper with our two boys last Saturday and were treated so kindly. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere welcoming and I really couldn't fault it. I would recomend a visit with or without children. NigelSlater - 1 Jun 2008 22:13 |
| Visited this pub/restaurant on 6th may 2008 after a long drive from southampton as we were on our way to alton towers. Beautiful pub to look at but the food ordered was disgusting. The burger was not cooked and when i told the staff she took it to chef and returned it cold chips and all and called me a liar when you could see the meat was pink. Very poor service and rude staff. would AVOID clarlou76 - 15 May 2008 14:37 |
