"So let me explain my header as it is slightly confusing.For all of my followers they will know i am firm but fair and certainly not a gourmet food critic. We had booked a restaurant nearby for a meaty chicken and chorizo dish for valentines...night and were looking forward to the meal we chose on the set menu UNTIL our local priest reminded us at church on Sunday that meat was a no no. Not a hint of abstinence on this one we checked the menu and to our horror found no fish. My Polska Princess and i googled Food near our home and saw the Check Inn looked traditional and friendly, the menu was to our satisfaction and the price for the set menu very reasonable. So we booked, blind, never seeing the place or tried the food. We booked a table for and arrived on time. The pub has a quaint village feeling and set in a quite location from the road but near the However on a chilly February night this was not an issue. We entered the restaurant through the rear door and were promptly seated at a table near the warm fire in a cosy little restaurant and it was all of our wish list rolled into one. Cosy restaurant, clean, friendly staff, an attentive Landlord and steeped in the traditions of what a real country local should be. The Prosseco was the best that my Polska had tasted in a long long time and me being a not too romantic had couple of pints of an awesome beer from somewhere in Eastern Europe that apparently cannot be purchased any nearer than Reading. However i digress as my readers know i always do so i will now get to the point good and could be better but any criticism really should be taken as constructive because we will be definitely be going back and do not want to get barred after our first visit. The starters we had was Baked Camembert and a mix of fresh bread, it was perfectly cooked and was to die for, absolutely spot on, the Princess had Fish under instruction from the previous Sunday with Lemon Potatoes, alas the first thing she did was put a chunk of Lemon in her mouth thinking it was potato which somewhat tainted the meal for a while, however she enjoyed the fish and no complaint there. Me being a rebel had a carnivore sirloin steak which i found very chewy and gristley which is no fault of the kitchen but maybe a word with your butcher might not go amiss. My only criticism was the red wine jus was at first forgotten then came out cold. I did not use it. The desserts we had was Chocolate brownie with ice cream for the missus and cheese and biscuits for me. Both were well received and finished the night off to perfection. Surprised at the price of a glass of red wine to accompany my cheese but in fairness i did ask for a good one. I would seriously recommend this Inn/Restaurant as it is home from home and the icing on the cake for future use is the bar area is dog friendly and you are seconds away from those long walks into the countryside with a hearty meal waiting when you get back. I have suggested this Inn to my dear friends Hannah and Priya and maybe when they break their ties with busy town living they will venture out and give the Check Inn a visit."

We have visited this place a few times but out of the the kitchen has been closed, tonight was because they had a party of which surely means the kitchen is open. Another time business is lost and We went somewhere else,...just wont bother anymore. Shame as food is nice when it's served. Hi hum Voir le carte

I came for a visit with family members a few days ago, we were accommodated with seating and food even though we showed up not long before the kitchen was closing and on a bank holiday. We were brought three humongous plates for those...of us that were eating, filled with delicious food. The lasagne I had came with chips, garlic bread, and salad. It was all hot through and tasted amazing.

We have enjoyed the excellent Sunday lunches here on several occasions. Earlier today we dropped in unexpecedly for a bite with visiting family and once again Carole served us prompt hot delicious food. The two lasagnas looked as good (and as large) as the chili...which I have pictured below. Just the right level of heat for my palate and with all the trimmings it still cost less than Andy looks after the cellar and lines with obsessive care so I can recommend his selection of ales. We all said we will be returning. Voir le carte

of us had a meal on new years eve and the staff were accommodating and told us up front that the kitchen would close at of us ordered belly pork which included a Yorkshire pudding and a selection of market vegetables and...we paid at the till before the meal. Unfortunately the dishes were brought out without the Yorkshire puddings and with just green beans for the veg. We were told that the chef had a different menu and that yorkshire puddings were not on that menu. No offer of an alternative was made and the apology seemed a little late/half hearted. This is a shame because the belly pork itself was very tasty (gravy slightly oversalted) and there were no complaints about the vegetarian sau...

We (Two adults and a teenage daughter) have never been here before so decided to give it a go. The pub is clean and tidy with the main bar area having seating and a TV for the sports fans, but it is not too loud...and a separate area just away from the bar. The menu is a bit more than a basic pub menu supplimented by a specials board. We had a bowl of nachos between us to start with and the main was served with good timing, not too long a wait but not rushed either. The **** lovely sausages and mash' two extremely tasting sausages with great mashed potato and gravy. Fish pie served with vegetables' the veg perfectly cooked not mushy li,e most pubs and the fish pie had a crumble topping. Scam...
