| Early in December, I was one of a party of 6 who partook of their Christmas menu - we booked in advance the previous month and it was my first visit to The Chequers although it is just 15 minutes by train and a further 15 on foot from mine. Like Arnie and general MacArthur, I will be making a return visit. There was a decent choice of three real ales, I happily settled on the Ringwood and the whole place was pleasant, clean and well decorated. Words can hardly describe, however, just how marvellous the food was. The parsnip soup was a pleasant hors d'oeuvre, but what was to follow surpassed all expectations. As some of my company tucked into their venison, I enjoyed the nicest traditional Christmas dinner - turkey and all the trimmings- that I have ever tasted away from home (my sister is a great cook and I will be at hers again on 25th Dec). To round things off, my Christmas pudding was moist and really tasty and all six of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Lovely pub, top grub, pleasant clientele and friendly, prompt and professional service made it a truly enjoyable experience. nominateddiver - 6 Dec 2016 15:58 |
| I have to say what a lovely pub, clean and homely and excellent food beautifully presented. Some family members and I went to the Tapas night which was amazing and even the youngsters in the group thoroughly enjoyed it. From what I gather it is a young couple running the pub and I must say are doing a grand job. Many thanks for an enjoyable evening. locallandowner.wrd - 25 Jul 2013 09:52 |

| Dear StoutChappie My name is Steve. I am more commonly known in the pub as "Biker Steve", "Steve the Bike", "Motorbike Steve" or simply "Steve". Phone the pub and ask for me. I'll be in there at about 6pm tomorrow and ask for any of the above - albeit there are about 4 regulars called Steve so mentioning anything to do with motorbikes will easily narrow it down to me. Alternatively, make the effort to actually go to the pub yourself and post a recent, first-hand opinion - rather than casting flippant assertions about the authenticity of those who are posting honest and constructive comments on the very subject this site is intended for. I note that you had nothing to say about the rude and insulting personal attack made by Mr Anonymous? I can only assume, therefore, you find his comments about the Landlady acceptable? Whilst I know both the Landlord and Landlady, I find everything about Mr Anonymous� post acceptable aside from the personal attack he made against the Landlady. He is entitled to his own opinion, as am I and as are you. Senseless and cowardly bullies are the only people that decide to make things unnecessarily personal! Looking at the history of your previous posts � you appear to have put some time and effort into the posts that you are making � and you are a �regular� on this site. It�s a shame you didn�t take as much time and effort to establish the facts for yourself before posting here, in relatively consequence free Cyberspace! I concede that I may be biased as a long-time local. However, I am a local to the pub and the social arena therein, and am not arbitrarily loyal to the people who run it! I maintain that I would go elsewhere if I did not get the service I believe I should get. I decided to post my opinion on the basis of Mr Anonymous' harsh post - and the little dig that your alter ego or cyber-social colleague made about the spelling. I am a customer of The Chequers � and am happy to declare my identity. I am giving my informed opinion, albeit perhaps slightly biased, based on facts and personal experience. (Also - now that my identity is public, if that sour faced goat wishes to stick a few in the pump for me, that would be greatly appreciated:-) ) jelliedeel - 27 Mar 2011 23:22 |
