Great, awrd-winning food (a little pricey though) and really nice for an afternoon pint with usually good beers on. Unless eating, I would not come here in the evening though; too much of a restaurant vibe.

�Dreadful, avoid unless you like greasy food & unhelpful staff & poor cook!�
went with the family to this place and had it not been we were all so hungry would have walked out ! Wished we had, dreadful service, no vegetarian options even though they mislead us on the website to think there was. Asked what vegetarian option it was either a plate of vegetables with no protein, or bread and olives! Asked for omelette or sandwich NO was the reply! Even offered to go and cook it and help the cook out. The place wasn�t even busy! Shocking, the non veggie part of our party had very greasy meals and even the kids didn�t eat their fish and chips!
Decor tired, chairs uncomfortable and chef either couldn�t be bothered or incapable!
Plenty of better places to eat in Bath.
Poor food terrible service will never go back and I don�t think they have changed their menu since 1700! Having eaten all over the world congratulations chequers you are THE WORSE PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO for variety and quality and service!

Student run student good Gordon Ramsay price just wished they catered for everyone on our party

Dreadful food dreadful service incredibly overpriced even by Baths standards. Jamies Italian and Marco pierre whites are far cheaper and at leastrhe food is good.
Terrible service greasy food and very expensive. Even though they say there are vegi options when you turn up there really aren't any which is surprising in 2011!! Plate of vegetable was THE only option and that was �10!!
Avoid this place they're either incapable or just don't care about pleasig the customer!

This is apparently a very old hostelry since the sign outside says it�s been here since 1776. It�s not quite as traditional as you might expect though, and appears to have had a bit of a gastropub makeover.
There�s a couple of picnic tables outside under an awning to sit and watch the world go by. Inside there�s a �U� shape bar with a counter serving both halves. There�s an attractive parquet wood floor and the walls are finished in a delicate shade of pastel blue with white architrave. Seating is a mixture of benches around the edge and chunky wood tables.
There were a couple of chalkboards on the all advertising the food offering. One board was a fairly conventional selection of �pub grub� such as Ham, Egg & Chips; Fish & Chips; Burger, etc. These were mostly priced around the �9/�10 mark, and there was also another board with a more gastropubby selection of dishes approaching the �15 mark. There was also an extensive selection of wines chalked up on a board, the majority available by the glass.
Beers on tap were Gem and Butcombe. Ciders were Addlestones and Stowford Press.

This is a funny place. Find it a bit hit and miss. Food is good, atmosphere usually good but the staff can either be polite and friendly or not give a monkeys ass about serving you until they've finished chatting (to the point it's worth complaining)... Maybe I'm not one of the beautiful people and don't deserve their attention?! That said I do on the whole like it there and it's dog friendly which seems to becoming rarer and rarer. There's also a nice little fire on the go on chilly days.

I agree - to gastro but they had Gem when I went! To "posh" for me!

Very civilised pub, you could take your mother there.
Decent beer, couple of bench/tables outside for smokers. Bit of a gastropub (dining room upstairs), tho I wouldn't make a special trip for the food. But Bath is full of eating places.

very posh, but in a good way- seem to rmember whitewashed walls and some nice ales....Bath Gem maybe. Was very nearly our local, but got beaten to a house just down the road by 5 minutes!
Worth the stroll up Lansdown or Victoria park, oh the toilets are downstairs to the right of the bar, I couldnt see any signs (which doesnt mean there werent any, just that it was the 7th stop on a pub crawl and you know....) 8/10

Nice pub set in residential streets to the north of the city. Recently refurbished in an understated way, good beer and wine, food looks good although I haven't tried it. Bar staff very friendly. This is a pub to go to for a drink and a chat, rather than a wild night out
