The Chequers Tree

I recently took 3 friends for lunch to this wonderful pub and we all have a fabulous time. A table was reserved for us in a very quiet corner although the pub itself had a very peaceful vibe to it throughout which was very welcome as it allowed for us all to be heard as we conversed and really feel relaxed. Service was exceptional as the young lady who welcomed us and helped us with our order questions was attentive and charming with a beautiful smile and instantly friendly demeanour. Nothing was ever too much trouble, even with my fussy food habits, and on several interactions we all laughed at my terrible jokes, it really was quite delightful. The food portions were very good with our mains being excellent value and I personally cannot remember the last time I had a burger that was so filling and tasty. All 4 of us ate everything on our plates and enjoyed every mouthful. As I was on medication that stopped me from having more fun drinks I asked for a large jug of water which in some places gets you a frown, but here there was total understanding and it was brought out in pitcher that very probably could rehydrate a desert. It was massive and much appreciated, thank you so much for that. I even got a nice lemon slice, so that was a bonus. My fellow diners each had a mixture of soft drinks and a beer which they were very happy with. Desert was very impressive with my 2 chocolate choices (yes 2, I am greedy, lol) being so yummy that I wish I had ordered 3. The apple crumble and custard was hoovered up by my friends who were over the moon with the portion size. All in all we spent about 3 hours in this gorgeous pub, we ate great food and had a brilliant time. I myself am new to Prestwood and this was a fantastic experience, my 3 friends are locals however none of them had been in before so for them it was a great experience too, we all fully intend to return as everything was so enjoyable and fun. As we left it had become a bit busier but even then the atmosphere was warm and friendly, it seems this pub has a very nice crowd of regulars. All in all the four of us dined and drank for just over £100 and it was money very well spent. I highly recommend The Chequers Tree for a lunchtime visit. It oozes charm and has a very welcoming vibe, it's very good value for money and if you make the young lady who works there laugh enough she has been known to bring people a few extra chocolate mints as a reward. That's an epic win in my book. X

We were the only two in the pub having a meal on the lunchtime so there was no atmosphere to be held. A couple of drinkers came in but sat outside. The pub is really pleasant inside and I would imagine it is quite popular usually. There is a good menu with a good variety of choices with one or two not your usual pub grub. Our meals were quite good being very hot and good portions. Staff were attentive and very helpful. Overall very good experience and we would go again.
