The Chequers - Hart

We have been to this restaurant several times and always had a great experience, but our visit today for Wednesday lunch may make us reconsider. We arrived to find the restaurant not very busy, but we waited a long time before being seated. Once seated, we waited even longer before having to ask the unfriendly waitress if we could place our order. Our drinks arrived promptly after we requested them, but the waitress who took our food order was not very friendly or attentive. The food was delicious, but the service definitely impacted our overall dining experience. It is unfortunate to have to write this review, as we have received very good service in the past.

On my last visit to this restaurant, the meal and service were excellent. However, this time was not a good experience, which is consistent with previous visits where the food and service have been inconsistent. The only highlight was the pie we had for our main course. The rest of the meal was of poor quality and the staff seemed disorganized and uninterested. Although our starter was comped, I would have preferred it to be right from the start. The bar area, on the other hand, was bustling and enjoyable. I will be skipping this place on my next visit.

We were unable to find a table at any other restaurant without a reservation. (Even though it was only lunchtime, all the pubs in Yateley/Eversley were fully booked). My husband was pleased as he was craving a roast dinner. I was hoping for a smaller meal, but the restaurant did not offer anything like that. I ended up ordering a starter, which was definitely small. It was a tart that consisted of a pastry disc with a few mushrooms on top.

Had a family meal here on a busy Sunday. The service was outstanding, as was the food! Will definitely be back

I've been going to the chequers for years and chose this restaurant to celebrate an important event, the service was shocking, they had run out of quite a few things. I had the scallops which were very gritty.
