Very few country pubs can compete with the character of The Chequered Skipper, sitting on the green of a village built entirely of stone and thatch. Fine cuisine, beers and wines await you at one of the finest country pubs in Northamptonshire.
The Chequered Skipper in Ashton is a picturesque thatched country pub that mixes tradition with a light modern touch. We look forward to greeting you if you are looking for a complete dining experience, a venue for a family or corporate function or simply a place to enjoy a relaxing drink.
Located two miles from the market town of Oundle and twelve miles from Peterborough in East Northamptonshire, the Chequered Skipper pub and restaurant provides a warm, friendly atmosphere for visitors and locals alike.
We ate here recently & we had the fish finger sandwich, which was fresh & delicious and very happy with portion size. We also had the prawn baguette, which was amazing & fresh. Chips were also very tasty.
Absolutely fabulous Christmas Day Lunch. Well done to ALL the staff you provided my wife and I with an all time treat, your service was excellent and the food top dollar, the roast beef just melted in your mouth. Hope you all had a great day after you got rid of us lot. Happy New Year from Paul & Sandy.
Lovely lunch accompanied with a couple of beers. Nice to be able sit on the green and watch the peacocks. Staff very helpful and attentive.
Ella, our waitress, couldn't have been more welcoming. She made our visit even nicer with her sunny disposition. The ingredients and menu were first rate but the execution on the night we went was just slightly lacking. I'm sure that it is usually amazing but my Barley Risotto was a little salty and the watercress garnish was yellowing. And some elements on my plate were cooler than others. We went on a particularly cool evening and as the first guests in the restaurant we found the room a little chilly. I'm sure that later in the evening it would probably have warmed up but I'll wear something warmer when we visit again. All in all, good value and great food served by exceptional staff. Will definitely visit again to give the food a second chance. And when we do, we will definitely order the Citrus Posset which was amazing!
Best Roast beef we've had in a long time! Absolutely brilliant food and good range of drinks too! Cosy fire and lovely staff! Will certainly be back!
