The Chequers, Walton On The Hill

Stopped here after hearing good things from friends. The pub is a well presented Youngs joint well kept, clean and tidy. No real guest beers. Food was ok, well cooked but uninspiring - Posh Mushrooms were just calorific slop and Tasted a bit sharp. Starters arrived too quickly to have been individually prepped always a bad sign.
Staff were generally friendly which was surprising given the grumpy manager wandering round with a big bunch of keys like a prison warden.

Overall a predictable, painted by numbers pub - such a shame given the setting.
