We visited the Chequers for a meal last Saturday evening after hearing that it was under new management and very good - and we didn't leave disappointed. I admire the Chequers for its unpretentious atmosphere, not jumping on the gastropub bandwaggon and for serving GOOD, honest pub food - excellent steaks, fish and chips etc. The portions are large and...

My other half and I had spent the day in Bristol and were driving back to London feeling quite hungry. We decided to drive along country lanes, hoping that a little country inn/restaurant would take our fancy, taking into account that we didn't want bog-standard type or fast-food outlet! Saw a sign on the main road advertising The Chequers and... More

Well worth a detour for this comfortable log-fired country Inn. Great lunchtime food and good beer selection. Friendly waitresses, all in a clean establishment with a nice touch of rustic charm. Def. go again

We heard there was a new landlord and chef who came highly recommended so we thought we would try it out for a family get together.

We have eaten here a couple of times over the last few months, it is local to us and have used it in previous years for family gatherings but it went through a bit of a bad period with one of the former owners. We had heard some good reports since new ownership and first decided to pop in on... More

Two of us had steaks which were fresh and delicious and the other person had salmon which was also fab. Of course we had to have puddings!!! These were home cooked - between us we... More

Under New Management The perfect country village pub in the beautiful picturesque village of Charney Bassett. Very welcoming, this has to be one of the most friendly places on earth, Not only did the new management, Ian and Jackie, go out of their way to make us feel very welcome but every one of the locals we met were also...

Arrived on the week that the manager of the Inn was moving on so attention to customer service was limited; perhaps when the new broom is in place this venue will regain some level of past service delivery that underpinned its past very good rating on this site. The accommodation can only be described as adequate and as facilities quoted... More
