Great pub for those camping along the Ridgeway trail. We arrived at 8pm and by the time we had set up had The Chequers as the only option for a drink in town, wish I had known it sooner as we would have come for Chinese.
A standard fare beer selection but friendly and pleasant staff, with what looked like amazing Chinese food.
I visited The Chequers in Watlington a few weeks ago and had such a fantastic experience that I was keen to return. I’m delighted to say that my most recent visit was every bit as impressive as the first.
The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but what really stood out was the impeccable service. George and Rhianna were absolutely brilliant throughout the evening. They are a real credit to The Chequers and make a fantastic team. Their friendly, professional approach, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for looking after guests made the whole experience feel special from start to finish.
It’s rare to find such consistency, but both visits were remarkably similar in all the best ways. George and Rhianna worked seamlessly together to ensure everything ran smoothly, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere while maintaining exceptional service standards.
The Chequers clearly has something special, and the team is a huge part of that. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality in Watlington. I look forward to returning again soon.
