My latest Sunday roast here was not quite as good as it was a few months ago... The beef was tough and fatty and potatoes kind of dry and flavourless. Plus portions have been down sized and there’s not nearly as much yummy veg on the plate...? Gravy was yummy though.
And bear in mind that I did eat rather late in the eve, so maybe they were running out of stuff?
This place was an absolute gem. The bar staff were really friendly, there were some great deals on drinks and the garden was fantastic. I will absolutely be returning if in the area and would probably go out of my way to call back for a pint!
Chequers has been my local for the last 10 years. The good: a nice range of beer and great pizzas. It's all exposed brickwork, vintage armchairs and shabby chic vibe, but the beer garden out back is big and welcoming.
The bad: the downstairs eating area is sometimes overwhelmed by the smell of urine from the men's toilets. The pub really needs to sort out its plumbing. Also, while the barstaff are friendly enough, the main barman (I think he's the manager) has a terrible attitude and seems to think his job is to chat with his mates and ignore customers.
