A 400-year-old pub situated in the heart of Burcot, Oxfordshire, The Chequers is steeped in history and has many stories to tell. The building seems to be of 16th century origin and is traditionally held to have been an Inn for farm labourers, servants, and river workers travelling up the Thames selling their wares.

From our ever popular Sunday roasts where friends and family meet and socialise, to our sharing boards and dessert.

Absolutely rude staff. Booked a big party for 12:30 in the restaurant. They initially said we could have the room for three hours. Days before they swapped it to two and half hours. Then they said we had booked for 12:00 even though we had proof we'd booked for 12:30. We'd barely finished our mains before they told us there was no time for dessert. We hadn't even had the two and a half hours. They threw us out after two. Incredibly rude manager who was incredibly unhelpful and antagonised many of our party. We won't be coming back. And anyone thinking of booking big tables with them for Christmas

Absolutely gorgeous accommodation, sleek and modern, fridge had milk ready for us to use, tea and a coffee machine. Very clean and everything you need for a night away.
The food was amazing, beautifully presented and nothing was too much trouble. The chef even made me mint sauce from scratch and it was divine.
Highly recommended and we will definitely be returning.
