4 months agoThis is our second family Christmas at the Chequers, our first being 2023. We had another memorable experience, in a pleasant atmosphere with excellent service and weren’t rushed. We rebooked this year and it was as nice as last. I would recommend a visit and would guarantee you will not be disappointed 🎅🏻🎄🍾

3 weeks agoAlways wanted to try chequers, we went for the Mothers Day set menu, service with a smile and to be made to feel welcome is paramount to me, unfortunately it was non existant here, I had the lobster bisque, although had the flavour the tiny cubes in it tasted plasticky, the roast was served cold and the beef tough and over cooked, New potatoes for roasties for me are no go, the rhubarb crumble smelt off and burnt and needless to say I did not eat it. Total cost for 3 adults £34 each

11 months agoPerfect evening after a muddy stomp around Buxton Heath in the sunshine ☀️ Popped into one of our favourite local pubs & decided to try their seasonal du jour menu which is 3 courses for £25 or 2 courses for £21. The food was utterly delicious with fresh ingredients & attention to detail. The staff as always were lovely & welcoming. Plenty of space & free parking right outside 🅿️ Huge beer garden on grass 🍺 and the garden gets the afternoon sun which is perfection. A really lovely pub & worth popping along to as it’s just so easy to access & enjoy !

a month agoThe food is very dry and over cooked. In fact feels like it was heated up in an air fryer from the night before. Not sure how they can charge £28 for a main course that is not even cooked fresh to serve. The waitress was apologetic and was good with service but looking at the way she came back out to explain herself on the chefs behalf, I don't think we could say the same about the chef. Definitely giving this place a miss in the future.

9 months agoIt's obviously changed hands since i was there in 2020 and certainly not for the better. The girl behind the bar was constantly on her phone and I had to attract her attention every time I needed service. The pub was soulless and cold it was actually warmer outside and that was 20 Deg. In my opinion it needs a good deep clean to get rid of a foul dirty smelly. I ordered the ox liver( why not lambs) and my wife ordered the haddock. Waited 25 mins for it to arrive. Both dishes went back as the liver was very tough and the fish wasn't cooked properly it was slimy and smelt. If it was possible I would not give it any stars but it's not. We paid for our drinks and left. We will never step foot in this place again. Time to lean, time to clean We visited at 14.15 on Tuesday 9th July.
