The Chequers - Reservar uma mesa

We have been visiting The Chequers at Burcot for years, it used to be ok but recently the prices have increased and the quality of the food and the service has dropped. I took my mum for a NYE dinner and her £36 fillet steak arrived like charcoal, mine was less burnt but not right. The fries were greasy and cold and the mac cheese looked worse than store bought. Upon pointing out the charcoal steak to the waiter, he told my mum to try it, she might like it and proceeded to walk off in a huff. When he returned to the table with condiments, my mother informed him that a he didn’t like it. He was then even more obstinate, saying “this steak is cooked by Steve Sanderson, the owner and that is co...

When visiting Oxford, we typically stay at the accommodation here and also choose to dine at the on-site restaurant. Our first experience was a pleasant surprise, with the room meeting our expectations and the meal being very satisfying. However, our second visit was not as good. The accommodation was still of good quality, albeit a bit pricey, but the restaurant left much to be desired. We ordered the venison burger, which is a personal favorite. Unfortunately, the burger was served on a chopping board (rather than a traditional plate) and all the usual burger toppings were charged as extras (such as £6 for 10 chips). The burger itself was undercooked, making it cold before we could finish...

The service was good; friendly and attentive, but the food was subpar. My salmon was overcooked and the potatoes were dry and under-seasoned. My partner's venison burger was slightly undercooked and dominated by too much truffle oil. I think the restaurant is living off an outdated reputation, unfortunately. The quality on offer does not match the prices charged.
