a month agoWe came here for a Christmas meal date night and we were not disappointed. It was a lovely place, the atmosphere was great and very festive. The food was amazing and great value for money. We both had a Christmas cracker on our table which was a very nice extra. The service was quick and friendly staff. We will definitely be going back and highly recommend. What a gem of a place ✨️.

2 months agoHaven't been here since spring 25, so was nice to return for the festive menu... food was outstanding and nice to see the menu du Jour being offered, (not publicily advertised and then turning up to be told it wasn't on that night, as had happened several times earlier this year)... bar staff were polite, the place was the busiest i have seen it... will be back again. A little gem... great selection of ales too and in perfect condition

a month agoWe had an absolutely excellent meal from their festive menu. Scallops to start with, very nicely cooked. I had Guinea fowl, hubby had beef to follow. Both very good and food was served nice and hot. My favourite was probably the truffle mash. Proper mash not over creamed potatoes. Definitely happy to recommend.

a month agoThis was our first time at The Checkers and while it had a lovely cosy atmosphere, the food was a bit more disappointing. My partner had the venison shoulder which should be a juicy bit of meat but unfortunately, it came out incredibly dry and without a sauce to accommodate. The idea was a bowl of lentils, which I'm told we're very nice but not enjoy to soften the dry chunk of meat. I'm unsure if this was just an off day or is regular for the pub but we left without dessert due to disappointment. Very reasonably priced, though.

2 months agoService always great, main menu meals are superb with a proper home cooked feel, nice selection of local beverages including spirits (which is rare around here). Only disappointment is the Sunday lunch to be honest. I've had 2 & both were just OK. I would highly recommend for any other meals & maybe it was just luck of the draw for the roasts but I would & will 100% go back for evening meals but personally I will be going to other local for alternatives for roasts (may just be personal preference). I might give one last try in a couple of months time & update accordingly
