The Chequers Iat Millbrook

I dropped into this pub before an engagement at the Village Hall nearby, for a light bite. I poled up to the bar, and straight away was told that this pub doesn't have bottled cola, only on tap!! (How odd) I then asked if they did food, to which I received a very curt reply from the barman. I tried to engage him in friendly chat, but he was having none of it. I ordered Bruchetta from their Italian menu. The food was brought and plonked down on the table without a murmur! I proceeded to eat my very average and quite greasy Bruchetta, and feeling that this was a distinctly unfriendly establishment, drank my rather horrible warm cola, and took my leave. Will I return? Will I heck!!

Not to be confused with the other Chequers on the Ampthill Road., the food here is far superior. Been here a few times so decided to take some friends. Three courses, wine, fresh coffee and liqueurs later they were as impressed as we have always been.

Have been going to this restaurant for a number of years and just love it. Always a warm and friendly welcome and excellent service. The atmosphere is very cosy and a roaring log fire greets you on colder days. The food is delicious and freshly prepared. There is always a good specials board in addition to the regular menu. Fish dishes are very tasty as are the pasta and meat choices. There is a very good wine list. Coffee is a speciality and not to be missed expertly prepared. This is a delightful venue whether for a meal for two, evening with friends and family or a larger celebration. Highly recommend a visit sorry I no longer live as close so can't eat there as regularly.

Disappointingley ordinary. They made little effort. Nice garlic prawns. Flavourless Lasagna in a cracked bowl. Nice ice cream.

Friendly atmosphere. Knowledgable staff deliver a tasty range of authentic Italian cuisine just like mama used to make. After finding this little gem we'll definitely become regular patrons.
