The Checkers (restaurant)

A really lovely restaurant with rooms in the middle of the town. Everything about the dining area is fantastic, nice lounge area with a roaring log burner, comfortable chairs, well spaced tables and lovely decor. We loved the art and the retained timber framing and beams. The food was outstanding and the service superb. Our room was spacious and well appointed but you did need to duck to avoid the low beams. A great experience, we will be going back.

Outstanding restaurant in the centre of Montgomery. Since it offers fine dining, not advised for a quick meal but it is well worth the wait. The staff was nice and helpful, the interior design is modern and tasteful. I ate a smoked eel and apple starter, herb risotto main and panna cotta dessert, all of them were excellent.

Fabulous anniversary meal at the Checkers. Enjoyed every mouthful of the tasting menu. A great opportunity to try different dishes with some ingredients I'd never tried before. All beautifully presented. Service was excellent. Very special. We'll definitely be back.

Having read a write up in Country Life and fancying a day out we drove via the amazing border countryside to Montgomery! We were delighted to be able to get a table for lunch! Every morsel was utterly delicious and a delight to the eye! My husband and I, both appreciate the quality and attention to balance and taste the menu provided. Thank you chef and thank you his wonderful wife. As McArthur said 'we will return'

Visited for Sunday lunch consisting of three courses with a set menu of three options per course. The restaurant is very well presented and front of house personnel were friendly but slightly reserved although became much more easy going as the meal progressed and we got to know them and learn about the business. It would be worth looking at the menu before booking as this is not your average carvery, thank goodness! This is fine dining and may not suite every ones taste but if you enjoy great food excellently prepared and served, it's probably for you. Nice touch, Chef came out to speak to us towards the end of service. This is a recently opened business, current owners in place from the start of this year. I am sure it will continue to evolve over time as the restaurant becomes established. Booking probably wise.

My family and I went to the checkers to celebrate my fathers birthday. We had the 3 course Sunday lunch. The food was fantastic and, in my opinion brilliant value for the quality and service we received! Will definitely be heading back!!

Excellent food, could not fault. Personally prefer decor to have a bit more personality and would have liked to have a bit more rapport with front of house staff but early days for this restaurant and with food like this, am sure you will succeed. Simply stunning lamb. Will def come again.

We went to The Checkers yesterday to celebrate our 40th Birthdays and had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed their lunch menu and found everything to be delicious and beautifully cooked. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the chef even came out at the end to check everything was ok. We would definitely return for a special occasion and wish them all the best.
