The Chequers

Well above average roast beef Sunday lunch on offer here. Makes a nice change from all the mediocrity on offer in Oxford. We'll be back! They don't let you run a tab without leaving your card behind the bar which is an unpleasant practice. Being a city centre venue I can understand this policy for walkins but we had booked for lunch. Makes it tricky to leave a tip for the serving staff.

Visited here on 31/5/22 and it was BRILLIANT. I got the club sandwich (attached image) for a mere £8.50, it was one of if not the nicest sandwiches I've had in a long time and it was a very large portion too. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to eat at whilst in Oxford.

Nice average pub in Oxford, clean and various seats. Good location. The drinks are good. The staff have a bit of an attitude, hence why I wouldn’t give it five stars.

Plenty of choice for ale fans, a recent refurbishment has enhanced the venue, interior is dark on the ground floor, the upper floors are predominantly for dining, the courtyard is well used and offers a nice backdrop to the pub

Food - ok, fast. Beer from the order got to the table in 20 minutes after food. Dead insects on the cans and inside the glasses

It's fine, although I must have visited at a bad time as we all had our meals at different times and I was waiting an hour for mine. We were told that the kitchen was "backed up" which wasn't very reassuring. Another member of our party didn't even get their meal. Although we had a good evening, I'm unlikely to return purely down to the experience waiting for food.

We didn't attend on the day of the half marathon - it was on the Friday.

A lovely little pub / bar which is hidden down an alley off the High Street.
Serves food but we arrived a little late so the kitchen was closed.
Loads of space in the bar area and the upstairs bar too.
TVs so you can watch the sports news all weekend!
Any bar with Jaipur on cask is a yes from me - and the Pinot Grigio wasn’t bad either!

The pub in Oxford is good, the staff is friendly, good beer, the food is good but the quality is changing day by day. Quite a lot of space. Value for money is good. To recommend.
