What Angie kittle likes about The Old Chequers:
I have dined at this restaurant a few times, but the new owners, Colin and Michelle, have something special when it comes to the food that is served. I ordered a BLT with salad for him, and the most amazing fish finger sandwich I have ever had, accompanied by a lovely side salad. Absolutely fabulous. I cannot wait for my next visit, you should definitely give them a try. View all feedback. What H2450TCscottl doesn't like about The Old Chequers:
I went to the restaurant for a meal, but there was no food available. They were overcharging people for drinks. I saw a man dealing drugs to a scared blonde guy out back. The staff witnessed this but still allowed them to book a table for football tonight. It looks like it will be an eventful night for those willing to risk a raid during COVID. Enjoy at your own risk.

The Old Chequers in Thatcham has recently been a topic of controversy and mixed experiences. While many patrons appreciated the lively atmosphere and value of the food, particularly under the leadership of the beloved chef Angie, her departure has left a noticeable void. Customers reminisced about her exceptional cooking and welcoming service, expressing disappointment over the diminished menu options and inconsistent quality since her exit. Additionally, the restaurant’s nighttime transformation into a disco environment and reports of concerning behavior outside have generated apprehension. Overall, The Old Chequers remains a local hub, but visitors are urged to approach with caution.
