The Chequers, Millbrook, Bedfordshire

8/10 - Lovely restaurant and very nice food. Had a long conversation with one of the waitresses who was extremely friendly. If you’re passing by the area then it’s definitely worth a visit.

Really good food The Chequers make you feel at home ! ! this is the only restaurant we use, we cannot fault anything.

The menu is simple and perhaps restricted from some points of view. However, the food is always wholesome and well prepared and presented. The specials are often excellent and good value, too.

We've always found the service warm, friendly, well-informed about the food and wine, and courteous. And you must have a coffee - Thomas is an award winning barista; and we agree about the Limoncello mentioned in an earlier review.

Found this delightful family run restaurant location by accident, good food and warm friendly atmosphere enhanced by a lovely open fire. you just have to try the Lemoncello its a delicious after dinner drink

Not cheap - but you have to pay for quality. Lovely atmosphere, like your dinning in the owners home. Warm and cosy with a real open fire. If you want to celebrate and spend a little on a good meal THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME.

The service at The Chequers was excellent, we dined in the evening and had a choice of 3 menus; pasta/a la carte/or very good value 3 course for £13.90. I am told the real ale changes weekly and there was ample choice of wines by the glass. We looked at the lunch menu for future reference; simple things like baguettes/salads/jackets or a 3 course for £10.90 were available. Having heard good reports from friends I was amazed at the poor score given in past reviews so decided to check it out for ourselves...glad we did! Great views, real food with lots of choice. The coffee is their own brand and has won awards.

Great atmosphere, relaxed warm and cosy (log fire is great). Good prompt service with knowledgeable host.

A good bet for lunchtime if you're on a time limit
