The Chequers - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

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.

Tomás de Vasconcellos We stayed at The Lamb Inn and had a really great time. It’s exactly what you’d hope for when booking a cozy pub stay. We actually had a minor issue with our room right after we arrived, but the staff were so kind and handled it perfectly. Harry, in particular, that checked us in, was super helpful and available, he got us moved to a new room super fast and with absolutely no fuss. The room itself was great, honestly really good for a pub setup. The breakfast was on the simpler side, but it was pretty good. For what you expect from a traditional pub inn, despite a bit pricey, we feel it’s a 5-star experience. Would definitely recommend it!

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 .

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

Graddy 61 Really nice cafe. Good menu of meals and snacks including gluten free options. Lovely coffee and cake, and cream tea. Friendly staff and cosy atmosphere.
