On 28/12/2023 we had our wedding diner at the  Checkers Matching Green, as we been there several times before. We would  like to say a massive  thank you to the staff and to say how grateful we are that the restaurant made our day so special.  The food was outstanding and delicious as it always is. The service was spot on. The best part from our wedding dinner, was the cake display in the middle of the restaurant. Overall, this was a incredible  dining experience . Thank you .

My family and I came here as part of a birthday trip to the area this past weekend. It's actually my second time visiting for Sunday lunch and it didn't disappoint. My family went for the beef roast which looked amazing, and I opted for the Chicken Milanese which is a favourite of mine. Whilst my chicken was a little burnt around the edges, the dish was great and a big portion. The staff were lovely and very attentive and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I'd happily recommend to all!

Had a dinner tonight at this lovely pub . The premises itself very clean and nice and good for celebrating any special occasion. There is large garden area which is looks very beautiful especially at the night time . Staff is very polite and helpful. Food is very tasty , good size of portion . It’s not cheap . But i think the price is a bit to high compare other pubs or restaurants nearby. The only thing I don’t like it is the 🪰 annoying while you eating your food inside the restaurant , there was quite few of them and they drive me mad throughout the all evening as I can’t cope with them watching they don’t sit on our food. Also there was one forgotten dessert 🍮 to be served, so my friend was left out sitting watching us eating our dessert and still waiting to be served .It’s a nice place , with great atmosphere and food . A bit expensive ( Would I recommend ? - yes . But check price at the time you order, so would’ not get surprised when you’ll see final bill . But it’s a good , clean , cosy , tasty place 👍
