Absolutely fab pub and our hands down favourite. Food is second to none - beautifully presented upmarket gastro grub! Great menu and super staff who are all extremely friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend coming here whether its sunday lunch with the kids and dogs or a romantic mid week dinner.

This place is going upmarket and with prices to match. I visited recently in midweek. There is very little on the menu under £15. It was good but I would have liked to have seen a few less expensive offerings. There was only one beer on the day I went.

Visited for lunch last Friday as we hadn't been for some time and hoped the new people would be better than their short-lived predecessors.

Wish I'd read the comment below re dogs as we parked in the overflow car park which is also the dogs' toilet area. Terrible smell when we got out of rhe car due to large amount of squishy dogs mess we had driven through.

Bar staff friendly but menu not very inspiring and really rather expensive.

Won't be going back.

If you want a country pub in a beautiful setting you might want to consider this for lunch in a spacious garden especially as the food is good. However, if you don't like dogs or you have a child with you who is frightened of them (as I did) you should be aware that the two dogs here spend a lot of time hanging around the tables and angling for food. Unfortunately some clients at other tables were feeding them - one a very large dog, probably a Great Dane. This meant that what should have been a very nice family outing turned into a disaster. So this is a great place for dog lovers but perhaps not so great for families with children.

OK, I went back to The Chequers after I'd heard it had changed hands again and am pleased that I did. I asked the new barman how long he'd been therre - 5 weeks - and one of the locals delighted me with his observation of the idiots who ran ir for 6 months (November 10 - May 11 " they didn't have a f***ing clue". A pretty astute summary to someone who'd he's never met before and I liked his frankness. I couldn't have agreed more.

Anyway, those awful people with their horrible "laaarsaaarneeeiaaar" have gone and the new folks seem to know what they are doing. Saturday lunch was great, all washed down with an excellent pint of Oxford Gold and cider (not at the same time!) .

It's definitely back on my list.
