Chequers

"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

A Month on the Road With My Newborn

"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."

Called here for late lunch early dinner. They had stopped serving main meals and it was a light bites choice from the menu and only 1 main which was the fish and chips. We did enjoy our food. The staff were friendly. The pub decorated to suit the age and was clean and tidy, We enjoyed. Would happily try something that off the menu another time.

Visited yesterday, Tuesday lunchtime. Three of us, pub was getting busy but seated and served promptly. Between us we had flat iron chicken, Cornish lobster roll with fries and duck salad. All excellent, well cooked and presented. Lovely pub interior. Staff efficient. Parking was fine. Will return when next in area.

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.

It was lovely , I mentioned we had our wedding anniversary and we received a glass of champagne, such a great treat! Food was divine and the customer service was first class. I have my own Alex’s Creperie in Woodstock and also mobile Creperie, Alex Crepes, so everything is important to me, such as the service and if the ingredients are local. Thank you so much team fantastic job 10 out of 10 Kind Regards Alex

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.

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!

After being disappointed in Chipping Norton, I decided to head into the country seeking a quiet pub for lunch. This place was absolutely what I was looking for. The ambiance was exactly what you'd expect in a quiet inn in the countryside. Exposed beams and stone, a big hearth fireplace, clean tables, floors, bar area and restrooms. The service was attentive, but not overly so. I ordered quickly and the food was well timed. I had the fish and chips, which honestly had a bit too much batter for my taste, but the batter was so good, that didn't matter at all. The chips were perfect, and the peas were the perfect compliment. It is clear this is a local gathering spot. By the time I had finished, the bar area had filled with locals catching up and having a good time with each other. If you're touring the Cotswold's and in need of a perfect pub lunch, this place is it. Don't bother with trying to park or navigate the scaffolding of Chipping Norton. Head to the Chequers. It's well worth it.

The Chequers in Churchill is a quality destination pub and restaurant. The village itself is awesome, the playfield across the road is awesome for kids and families and most importantly the food, drink and atmosphere is always superb. Oh and terrific aervice

Too cold to sit outdoors today, but it's cozy inside, with the fireplace lit and jazz music playing. And there is free wifi available! A very good first impression! The waiter just came out of the kitchen with two steaks that looked really serious. [...] A beer and a calf's liver later: a five star pub! Good meat and excellent fish. Quiet at lunch time, but there are evenings with life music. I recommend a stopover at the Chequers, no doubt!

The pub is very quirky and has an interesting decor as well as being dog friendly. Some of the food we ordered was tasty, starters being our favourite, the cheese souffle was delicious but my partner was disappointed with her butternut squash main and could not eat it. They did take it off the bill though when they found out she did not like it. I enjoyed my main of ox cheek. Service was a little slow and I felt the staff could have been friendlier.

OMG...this place was an unbelievable find. A four hour bike ride around the Cotswolds and discovered this place. The baked cheddar soufflé could compete with any soufflé in France. The fish and chips were the best so far...and I'm on a mission to find the best in England (that's a lot of fish and chips)

Really nice pub with some character. We didn't eat here but came here several times for a drink whilst staying in the village. Kid friendly and comfortable.
