"The attached pub had a cozy atmosphere with lovely decor. The food was exceptional, accompanied by a nice selection of wines. Although it was slightly pricey, I felt the quality justified the cost. I started with a prawn cocktail that was generously filled with prawns and tasty accompaniments, followed by a homemade cottage pie featuring fresh minced beef, topped with creamy, cheesy potatoes. For dessert, I enjoyed a delightful creamy salted caramel ice cream, although there were even more indulgent options available. I finished with a rich cup of coffee. I slept soundly in the very comfortable bed with good quality sheets, though I would have appreciated pillow protectors. The breakfast matched the quality of the dinner—great ingredients well prepared—except for the poached eggs, which were lukewarm in the center, likely pre-cooked and not warmed long enough. I often feel frustrated when a place is so close to excellence but falls short due to a few missteps. For example, the room was cold upon arrival, as the underfloor heating hadn’t been pre-heated. The receptionist pointed out the controls, but everyone knows it takes time to warm up. I also encountered a leaking shower, which spilled water over the floor. After dealing with the mess, I discovered a sign hidden behind the soap dishes indicating the shower tray had a plug and could overflow. This concept of a shower tray being a plug was new to me, and I believe the management should consider replacing it with a drain-only system, as the water stains on the floor suggested this had been an issue before. After driving 400 miles and feeling exhausted, this was not what I wanted to deal with. Another minor annoyance was the flashing white lights from the smoke detector, which disturbed my sleep twice during the night. I mention these points in the hope that management will address them to ensure future guests have a flawless experience. Would I stay here again? Absolutely! The rooms were beautifully designed, and the quality of the food and drinks was outstanding."

My wife and I had breakfast here one Friday morning and will most certainly be back. The gluten free breakfast butty was one of the best I've ever had, I'm still day dreaming about it. Gluten free meals are always a bit of a gamble but the ingredients used at the Chequers were delicious. Service: 5 Location: 5

This was one of our favorite pubs, and we used to be regular customers. However, we are extremely disappointed with what used to be our favorite Sunday roast in Oxfordshire. While the service was excellent, the quality of the food has drastically declined, and the decor feels shabby and worn out. The highlights of the meal were uncooked, inedible potatoes, beef that was full of fat, chewy calamari, and a shriveled brownie that was a poor excuse for dessert. We will not be returning.

This place was amazing. Food was lovely service was kind, friendly and helpful. The place was clean and beautifully decorated in the resturant and hotel. Also has some lovely extras such as a shower cap, cotton wool and ear buds and even a razor in the hotel! The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star and not 5 was that the noise around the room sounded like there was nothing separating the rooms. We could hear everything from outside and the other rooms. Which made it hard for us to sleep and stay asleep. It's ashame because everything else was really really good Food drinks: Food and drinks were amazing 5 out 5

"Outrageous expensive Sandwich and fries. Ordered as per request from QR code on the table. I ordered tomato and cheese with fries and a pint of Camden. What arrives was a very sorrowful thin granary sandwich with what looked liked ready made chive and cheese mush. Then to be told the QR code was wrong for this pub and they guessed , did it have Camden so offered Peroni. My wife had fish fingers on Brioche with chips in included at £10.95 far more value than the miserable wrong sandwich that was supplied at £8.45 plus fries at £3.95. The more I write the more angrier I find myself. The staff apologised that it was the system. As one has already paid via the QR code, you have already paid your money before seeing the food. Absolute miserable, far better value down the road at the riverside cafe in Bensons, much better place and food value excellent. This is an outrageous ripoff for this sandwich. I should also add that the Bill you are invoiced by Email doesn’t add up. It’s beyond me no matter how I interpret the vat on drinks and food which were both matched as 20%. Avoid there are far better value places. Maybe if my dissatisfaction at the time that I shared with the waiters was not so care freely ignored and unaddressed I could have been placated. That being said if the right sandwich had turned up it probably would have been woefully miserable . Food drinks: Outrageous expensive Sandwich and fries.

"I have had a few take away meals from The Vine Spice and enjoyed them, so my wife and I treated friends to a meal at the restaurant there. Sadly and surprisingly I was extremely disappointed. One of our friend 's found that the chicken in their meal was undercooked (it was still pale pink and highlighted this to staff. It was taken away and a replacement given. The chicken in this was cooked fine, but the sauce was now much more watery and lacked flavour due to this (the other had a nice, thick creamy sauce . My wife and I are both vegan and member of staff taking our order didn 't seem too sure what this meant. During our meal, we had 3 different members of staff coming up asking us the same questions rather than one member of staff being given responsibility for this role. All the staff were very polite, but it was a little disconcerting to be trying to have a conversation only for another member of staff interrupt to ask a question asked a few minutes previously (e.g. whether everything was alright, whether we required any more drink etc. Our vegan curries had several hard pieces of veg (we don 't overcook our veg and enjoy a slight bite to them, but numerous bits of veg were virtually raw and must 've been chucked into the sauce moments before dishing up and my wife found some onion with the root still attached. Also, I did find the meal to be expensive for what you get. Given this experience, I won 't be getting any more meals from The Vine Spice ."
