Harden's says
Checkers' chef Stéphane Borie handed back his Michelin star in 2018, opting to focus on private clients. His wife Sarah Francis and her co-owner sister Kathryn have since turned it into a more casual breakfast and lunch spot, Checkers Pantry.
Harden's survey result
Summary
In Spring 2022, Andrew Birch (erstwhile head chef of London’s Savoy Grill) and his wife Rachel relaunched this well-known coaching inn, part of a small scenic town in rural Powys. The main option is a seven-course tasting menu (with a vegetarian alternative), but there’s also a simpler lunch. No feedback as yet in our annual diners’ poll.
For 33 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).
