The Chequers, Cotswolds - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

Andy Howard When you walk in and you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming smile from one of the owners (Claire) who seats you in a perfect spot right next to the kitchen where the co owner & Italian Chef (Val) slaves away making every meal to order using only the freshest ingredients you know you’ve found ‘your place’. Unable to choose what to eat we ask Val to keep us fed and watered and between the two we weren’t let down. We told Claire what our wine tastes were and she brought the most Devine wine! Val then made us a starter, a main and a main, and a main… AND a desert!! Wow wow wow!! (Have the crab pasta!!) Our first night at Alberto’s made us feel welcomed, wanted and part of the team! Did you know Val is also a jeweller?! Does this man’s skills have any boundries?! If only we’d come earlier we could have visited their veg shop just up the street “Plant’d” we will be back!! K&A

Richard Bryant What can I say, really glad that we pulled in here and took a chance, you just never know, just happened to stumble upon this place, really friendly welcoming staff could not be more helpful! Had the big burger and it was delicious ! They even did a home-made black garlic sauce to go with it. Everything is charcoal grilled on the barbecue in front of you, they have a really good selection as well not just burgers and chips etc. Can’t thank these guys highly enough, they made our day!

Tom Pauling October 2024. Just before the pub re opens in November we saw a FB add for the food they will be providing from the gourmet food shack. We had the burger box and it was banging. Not only did it look like the photo it tasted excellent! Shall definitely be going in to the pub come November when they open for sure to sample the beverage to go alongside the burger ❤️

Felix Keeling Amazing little place with a brilliant outside atmosphere. we had a family meal out, it was delicious and we all loved it - pizza, steak, fish and burgers. Incredible nutella calzone for pudding!

Harry Ring Have eaten here a few times now and always really enjoyed it. The food has always been perfect and staff are lovely. Its usually quite busy - I guess its popular with people staying at the Heythrop hotel as its the closest pub - but its never heaving. Id say you still need to book, but thats the norm for pubs round here now .

Daisy Stannard Everything tasted artificial. The chips were dry The shredded chicken was in a very soft and mush batter. The Chow Mein was bland with tiny cubes of meat that all tasted very similar and the chunks of garlic were very hard. It cost £39 and it felt like such a waste of money. Ready in ten minutes at dinner time on a Saturday should I told me what I needed to know.
