"This welcoming Cotswold stone pub sits in the heart of the village and plays a vital role in the local community. The bar is stocked with local ales, the cooking is traditional, and flagstone floors and wooden beams give it plenty of character." - Michelin Inspector

"For a more refined meal out, the steaks at the Chequers Pub in Churchill are a cut above the rest, and if you go early you can claim the table in front of the inglenook fireplace."

Lovely place. Popped in for dinner the other evening and was welcome from the staff, the food was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Will certainly return and will definitely recommend. Their food is amazing, check my pictures out, we have the “French dip” (bread with beef brisket and jalapeño and a lovely French dip) really nice. My wife had the triple cooked chips and fish, I think the picture speaks for itself!!! Also had a side of macaroni cheese and a fruit caramel and nut dessert, and a sticky toffee pudding, all was amazing!!

Stopped off here on the way home from visiting Jeremy Clarkson's pub lovely place. We were greeted by friendly staff. Had the Fish and Chips and they were one of the best fish chips I've had, in a long time puddings were exceptional as well. Highly recommend visiting if you're in that area.

My husband and I have visited twice in recent weeks. The food hasn't disappointed and the service has been spot on. Our second visit was during half term and was busier. The busyness did not negatively affect the experience. Even though there is a slop for easier access at the front of the establishment, there is no disabled parking, which is a little disappointing. Overall, this is an excellent venue for an intimate date or for a meal with friends.

We came on Saturday night and had the best meal. The food was so tasty. I need the recipe for the soup please? I was a little disappointed to only get two scallops for £15, they were very tasty and perfectly cooked but another scallop and a slice of sourdough with a touch of salad maybe would be a great addition. The main courses of fish and chips and calves liver were fantastic. The calves liver maybe lacking a few vegetables, but delicious all the same. The marathon pudding was also a delight. Thanks for having us. The atmosphere and the pub itself is beautiful. Thanks again. Claire & Lee

Dined here last night as we're staying close by and we would definitely come back again! The atmosphere was lovely, very warm and friendly and the restaurant area was very cosy and the decor lovely! The mains speak for themselves! We both chose the haddock and chips and as myself and my husband both enjoy our food we got an extra side of chips and some Mac and cheese to try! We was told by the waitress that the fish was a big portion but that was absolutely fine for us! Haddock was delicious and all plates/bowls were left empty afterwards! For dessert we went for the sticky toffee pudding which was just as good! Beautiful pub with amazing food, an absolute gem of the Cotswolds ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic place for dinner. Recommended to us by our air bnb host, this restaurant is in a small town and wasn’t too busy. Food was fresh and delicious - would recommend the cheese soufflé! Server was friendly and there was a great atmosphere inside. Would definitely return!

A lively village pub with a good choice of real ales. The pub and restaurant were nicely presented with tables set for dining indoors. The gardens had numerous tables and benches both in the sunshine and shade . I did not try the food, but there were numerous diners 'tucking in' outside.

Always a must, when visiting the Cotswolds! We’ve been visiting this pub for about 13 years now and it still holds a special place for us. There’s just something about the atmosphere, the consistently great food, and the friendly service that keeps drawing us back. It’s become one of those familiar favourites you look forward to every time. The food is always spot on, beautifully cooked and full of flavour. There’s a brilliant choice of sides, a great wine list, proper beers, lagers and some lovely cocktails too. This time we came for Sunday lunch. We booked five days in advance and the only slot left was 12pm. We usually prefer a later, lazier lunch but it actually worked out perfectly, as we were camping nearby to enjoy the weekend and make the most of the mini heatwave. My partner went for the roast pork and I had the roast chicken, which came with both breast and leg. I know it sounds simple, but the chef really knows how to get the best from the ingredients — the leg was moist and full of flavour, the roast potatoes were crispy perfection, and the side dishes, including cauliflower cheese, were absolutely delicious. We loved that it was already included, rather than something you had to add on. Portions are really generous, but that doesn’t take anything away from the quality. Sadly we had no room for dessert, though if I could make one suggestion it would be to offer a little selection of mini puddings to share with coffee — something light to finish off the meal when you’re full but fancy a taste of something sweet. Just an idea. We always say we should try somewhere new, but when you’ve found somewhere that gets it right every single time, why risk it? Thank you again for another lovely visit — and please don’t change a thing, even now we’ve seen you on TV. You’re doing it just right.
