The Chequers is a great Pub in the heart of Westoning, just off Junction 12 of the M1. A great place to eat, drink and relax. No pool tables or fruit machines just good old fashioned pub values with a quality food offering.

I have visited this pub restaurant many times and always been extremely satisfied.However my visit on Saturday with my wife left a lot to be desired. Our table was booked for 7.45pm when we arrived we were shown to our table no problem, ordered drinks that were delivered quickly, however this is when the service deteriorated, it took 20 minutes to take our order I had to call the waiter over to take the order , I ordered a carafe of white wine when it arrived it was not chilled, we asked for it to be replaced, there was no apology just a replacement plonked on the table. It then took 15 minutes to receive our starters. For my main I ordered The Swordfish which came with a salad, I asked when ordering does it include potatoes to be told by the member of staff it didnât so I ordered a side dish of chips. When the salad arrived it came with potatoes I asked for the cost of the chips to be taken off the bill.The food as always was of a good standard but the service extremely disappointing.Ruby was the only member of staff that seemed to focus on a good customer service.To summarise not my best visit to The Cheques.

" Beautiful village pub serving the best of British food with a French twist. Try our signature Boeuf Bourguignon with baby mushrooms and bacon lardons, served the proper way. Or favourite Cumberland pork sausage ring with cider gravey, caramalised onions

We decided to meet friends here as a half way point after this gastro pub had been recommended. The food was excellent and can thoroughly recommend this place. I had the chicken kiev which was a real throw back to the 1980s it was really lovely. Rib eye steaks also looked and tasted lovely according to our friends. Service was equally very good.

Always consistent, always delicious food. Sunday lunch this time. We were at a bar table as they were very busy in the restaurant but still as lovely. Whitebait starters for my other half and daughter, pickled quails egg and bacon off the much welcome nibbles board for me. Then Roast Beef for me and the other half - perfectly cooked, alas no Gluten Free yorkies though so sat slavering over everyone elseâs. Chicken great too.....lovely place, pretty village location, smashing staff, simply lovely. Thank you.

The George Inn is a 16th century pub in the Bedfordshire countryside that has been lovingly restored. Our menu takes in satisfying and unpretentious dishes made fresh by our chefs such as Honeyed Beer Battered Haddock & Chips and Roasted Butternut Squash

Top notch breakfast which rivals Knife and Cleaver locally. The waffles could be a bit fresher, not sure on those, although served with great crispy bacon and syrup.The thing that really makes the difference is the way they react when things go wrong; our ticket got lost. Took ages to get food. But the way they dealt with it was really impressive, even some unrequested money off vouchers for next time.Hi SimonInWhitstableThank you for your review, we appreciate your comments & feedback.I apologise for the inconvenience, disappointing and not at all ideal however I am pleased you were impressed with how we dealt with the situation. We would love to welcome you again soon, perhaps try our our 'Wine Tasting Event' held in our 'UPSTAIRS' private room this October 30th and November 20th.Thank you againGeorge Team

Once an 18th century coaching inn, The White Hart in Ampthill is situated in the north of the Georgian market town. This historic Grade II listed building, which may date back as far as the 16th Century, continues to be a prominent destination in Ampthill

Friendly welcome, great bar, amazing dinners and breakfast both nights/days. Treated myself to full English but didn't feel as guilty as not greasy and all good quality items. Hotel room cracking. Please note that it is a pub and you are living above it so don't book hotel then complain about the noise, it's a given, embrace it !! Thank you for the fab rating and insights, it is much appreciated! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the food!We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future!ThanksTina

Friendly fine-dining in Bedfordshire with Masterchef: The Professionals runner-up Steve Barringer, offering five and seven-course taster menus.
Reviewed By TStanb
No anniversary or birthday nor any reason to celebrate...âjust wanted to experience fine dining locally. Steve and his staff offer everything that diners, who are serious about their food, require. Without having to travel to London...or Bray for example. Book a table quick before the word gets out; we are lucky to have Eileens on our doorstep but it wonât be long before it becomes a box-ticking destination for the wealthy and real foodies like us are driven out :(The food is quite simply the best Iâve ever had in a restaurant (obviously my mumâs is better than Steveâs) and the wine flight is a must, so donât go thinking you can save a bit on the wine...thatâs not worth doing. Go to Eileenâs not expecting to save money, and experience the full pleasure of being spoilt and taken care of.

Summer Soltice means wedding anniversary. So needed good food welcoming atmosphere and music to dance too. Well we got all of this at Tre Fratelli last night. Simone was there to welcome us and the whole evening went just as we wanted. We actually took 4 friends who had a great time. Sofia Soul was excellent. Staff were attentive which added to the experience. Well done again for making our celebration a memorable experience.

Stayed for 2 nights (writing this on my last night, sat still hungry in my room!)First night meal was good actually, though service was a bit haphazard given I was one of only about 4 people in the place. Tonight different story, place was packed (turns out itâs quiz night), so even worse service, followed by the absolute worst steak Iâve ever been served (hint: either buy better quality or invest in steak knives because theyâre inedible and impossible to cut otherwise), joined with the least peppercorny peppercorn sauce (at least if the sauce was good it would have masked the crap steak a bit). It was also just this side of Luke warm. Given the waitress was also the barmaid I can appreciate she was struggling. Impossible to complain as I never saw her back at the table so after 30 mins just left the whole lot congealing on the plate while I waited patiently at the bar for another 20 mins being ignored just to pay for the crappy food I didnât eat. As you can tell, Iâm grumpy when Iâm hungry. Would be good if they just explained that a quiz was due, especially when the quiz master said that the quiz would have to be delayed as âapparently people are still eatingâ like we were bloody pariahs or something. Unimpressed.Thank you for taking the time to share your views with us.I am sorry you did not enjoy your dining experience with us. We were unusually very busy for our quiz night and therefor our bar team were extremely busy.We have had lots of glowing comments about our food including our steaks so I am disappointed that you did not enjoy yours. I am sorry that the waitress was not able to check on your meal once you had been served, due to how busy we were. Had you have mentioned your disappointment to the bar man when paying, we would most certainly have offered to cook you another steak and bring it to your room or taken it off your bill.We value all comments both good and not so good so thank you once again for taking the time to review us.Kind regardsTracy BalenOwner
