| Yes indeed, a lovely pub, lovely garden, restaurant and setting. However, one recent Saturday afternoon, whilst enjoying beautiful walking weather, the barman was rather aggressive with punters about 2.45pm, stressing to us that he was closing at 3pm and didnt want to serve us. We insisted, so he did give us adrink, but was rather unpleasant thereafter. One punter in the arden made it known to all of us (about a dozen) that "the barman was doing nothing to encourage repeat business". So why do these popular country village pubs close at 3pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon? Shame. Otherwise, a lovely place. lolwood32 - 19 Apr 2010 11:29 |
| Lovely Chilterns pub in a pretty hamlet - great food, good beer (Brakspears), delightful garden and friendly, attentive service. pvaughan - 16 Jul 2008 16:54 |
| We'd only been walking an hour from another pub, but couldn't resist visiting the Chequers and were very glad we did. It's a very pretty pub and has a beautiful garden. The lunch menu looked enticing, and I can't wait to return! I want it as my local! Thirsty_Rambler - 15 Jul 2007 19:37 |
| Forgive the second entry, but we have just returned from holding a sunday birthday meal there and this warranted an update. The pub has now seriously upgraded its restaurant, although this shouldn't be taken as suggesting that it has become another of those mindless pub/diners that are dominating the scene. At least for the present, it appears to remain a real pub, and the landlord (Ray) assures me that they have no intention of changing things. Let's hope so. The Brakspears was spectacular, the food good (around £7.95/head for Sunday roast) and the service and welcome was excellent. A blustery autumnal day, a roaring fire, great beer and convivial surroundings. Who could hope for better? As long as this place doesn't become yet another "dinner pub" then I will keep returning Thanks cynicalbastard - 22 Oct 2006 18:04 |
| Superb hostelry. Brakspears at it's best. Not cheap, but good food, popular and great, cheerful staff. Highly recommended cynicalbastard - 25 Mar 2006 13:18 |
