The Chequers, Brize Norton

When I retired, a good few years ago, I decided to find a Pub or Restaurant where I could eat good food and be comfortable at least three times a week. I discovered that the Chequers was a very good pub which served really good food. The standard of the food and the presentation has gradually reached such a level that I now consider it to be a restaurant, which also sells a wide variety of drinks.
The Staff are cheerful, patient and helpful, particularly to the elderly. All of the food is freshly prepared in their own kitchen so some dishes will obviously take a while to prepare.
There is an extensive printed menu and also 8 to 10 vegitarian options. Plus a very popular two course Seniors menu. The superb, two sittings at the Sunday carvery of 3 roasts carved in front of you and complimented by no less than eight vegetable dishes means that booking is advisable. This is a self sevice menu on a Sunday ordered from the bar. This pub deserves to thrive in these difficult times, which is why I give it my full support.
