Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Daily Telegraph

William Sitwell visited a “gastropub with a French leaning” run by chef Olivier Bouet and his wife Stephanie, who were rescued from closure a couple of years ago by a group of investors: apparently Bouet, “for reasons of total clarification, wanted it called ‘Olivier is still at The Chequers’.” 

Among the investors is Tim Henman, reports William, and “a little bird tells me that his non-tennis obsession is wine. So I’ll credit him with one of the greatest assets of this place. It has a seriously wonderful wine list, being both full of gems and fabulously affordable.”

The food was a pretty good match, ranging from breaded pig’s trotter and homemade pasta with spinach and mushroom to a “delectable chestnut and chocolate cake with toffee sauce”, while staff were “collectively, utterly charming in that sort of natural, professional way that can’t be taught”.
