We visited here Christmas eve and it was packed to the rafters with people waiting at the bar 3 deep to be served. Morris dancers outside which was fun to experience. I would rather pay a visit on a less busy day but it was nice to be immersed in some English tradition. It's a beautiful little pub right next to a small stream. The surrounding area of the pub is very picturesque and as a tourist a nice little spot for a lunch and walk.

I live in an area surrounded by pubs, which is fine as long as you don’t want to eat on a Monday when they are all closed. Driving out, I decided to visit the first pub open on route, The Chequers at Loose. I have been here a couple of time before but felt that tonight they really deserved a review. Ok, it wasn’t busy, but it was open! It was lovely and warm with the radiators on. The service was excellent with friendly welcoming staff. The food was lovely and I thought the prices were reasonable compared to other local places. So all in all, very happy. For those who have previously found it disappointing, I recommend that you try it on a night like Monday, where they are able less busy.

Nice friendly pub with good food on offer. Very dog friendly but if that's not your thing there are dog free areas too. The surrounding area is lovely and great for a stroll.

Great food, reasonable prices, great location. The staff were lovely and very professional. Harvey's beer excellent. Will visit again. A stand out treat for me was the wonderful onion rings with the sausage and mash! The halloumi burger was fabulous. Service was quick.

I feel a bit bad about writing this, but for the first time ever there's only 1 star and probably the longest comments I've left. We arrived around 12:15 on a September Thursday after having a walk - hungry, we fancied a pub lunch. Staff were pleasant if a bit rushed - the young lady behind the bar was on her own and doing the best she could. Several things were off the menu, but we ordered a "Curry of the day" (Thai Green on this occasion) and sausage & mash with gravy. Difficult things to screw up... After a reasonable wait, two small dishes appeared. The Thai Curry was tiny, containing a few small bits of grilled chicken in a fairly anaemic sauce, with a small amount of plain white rice on the side; the two sausages were quite small and on a small bed of mash surrounded by gravy. Both dishes were stone cold. We sent them back. Frankly, if we hadn't paid in advance, I'd have left at that point. A few minutes later they re-appeared, along with a small dish of sweet chilli sauce and 3 small prawn crackers, two of which were not properly cooked (still solid in parts, i.e. not cooked hot or long enough). The sausages were now hot, the mash lukewarm and the gravy cloying and still pretty cold. Being fair, the very small sausages were quite tasty, but the mash was under/not seasoned and the gravy had little flavour, no onion or anything even vaguely interesting, and was still cold. The curry was a disgrace. The rice was flaccid and tasteless, the curry had almost no flavour and the chicken was watery, and pretty grim (tasteless too). Tiny portion as well. We left the curry. I did eat the sausage & mash as I was really hungry, but in retrospect wished I hadn't. I almost never leave food anywhere in the world, but I left that curry. I'm not sure how dishes that bad could be let out of any kitchen. We complained to the waitress (who was doing her best) - she asked us not to leave and a minute or two later refunded our main courses with an apology. I felt for her as she was doing her best as front of house when the kitchen was a shocker. Note that we didn't ask for a refund or even hint, they just provided it. I've never asked for a refund. It's sad, as these days rural pubs need to do things right, but this wasn't just small things; everything they could have done wrong with those two dishes they did wrong. Nothing cooked from fresh, nothing checked before leaving the kitchen, tasteless food, tiny portions, cold.
