The Chequered Skipper Pub & Restaurant

Very very pretty location. Perfect if the weather is good. Didn't have food but i bet it would have been good. Not cheap tho.

Lovely lunch accompanied with a couple of beers. Nice to be able sit on the green and watch the peacocks. Staff very helpful and attentive.

Beautiful evening & ate alfresco with lovely live piano music. Food v good & service nice & friendly. Had fish curry & orange cake for dessert.

Beautiful country pub & restaurant, situated right on the village green of Ashton.
Celebrating the Oundle Fringe festival for local bands artists.... amazing outside location for live music 👍😎

Staff is friendly and the food is good!

My Wife and I have been to the Chequered Skipper quite a few times. I am just now leaving a review after our last visit on 14/01/23. We split the soup of the day and the burger. Which by the way, is good. The only thing I would prefer to be a little different is the meat to be more flat. It was more of a ball which tends to happen when the meat has not been prepped for cooking so that it does not form a ball when heated. Or it is by designed and thats what customers prefer. Either way. It was good. We have also had other meals to include fish and chips. They are very good. We will continue to eat there.

Absolutely fabulous Christmas Day Lunch. Well done to ALL the staff you provided my wife and I with an all time treat, your service was excellent and the food top dollar, the roast beef just melted in your mouth. Hope you all had a great day after you got rid of us lot. Happy New Year from Paul & Sandy.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and dog friendly!
Not overly expensive. There's plenty of outside space, which is nice.
If you want a traditional British pub experience, drop in!

Lovely pub. Went there for a Christmas meal. The leak and potato soup tasted more like potato without any uknt of leak, but the main Christmas main was a delight. The puddings looked lovely but I chose not to participate. I had one of their mince pies later, the pasty was dry and crisp but the filling was very juicy and moist. A lovely juxtaposition.

No loud music if you are looking for somewhere quieter.
