    So, fish (especially fishy fish) is pretty much my culinary kryptonite. It had been decades since…read moreI had been out for "fish and chips". I would rarely try a bite of someone else's order. My response usually ranged from indifference to active dislike. So, when my friends in England suggested fish and chips at Shakey Shakey, my expectations were rather low. Boy, was I ever pleasantly surprised. Every order here is accompanied by a simple lettuce and parsley salad (nice), tomato and cucumber salad (tasty), and cooked onions in a balsamic and oil sauce with spices (frickin' amazing). We also had some sides that included a mildly spicy sausage, pickled onion, mushy peas, and gherkin. All were good. The chips (fries) were tasty, and there were an abundance of them, but I wish I had asked for them to be cooked extra crispy. I had a bite of my friend's haddock. It had good flavor and very good texture. My cod, however, was a blank canvas upon which the very essence of "fish-n-chips" was painted in masterful strokes. It was cooked perfectly, with flaky flesh and crispy batter. The favors were mild, yet thoroughly enjoyable. It was served searingly hot from the fryer, and was as close to perfect as this non-fish aficionado could possibly want. I had expected to tolerate this dish, instead it was the best of its kind I have ever enjoyed. The owner and family were wonderfully friendly. The service was excellent. All this, and pricing that was more than reasonable.

    I was exploring the deal area and looking for some lunch on bank holday Monday when I saw the sign…read morefor a restaurant. 2 miles later I arrived at the Chequers. I felt very welcome there - it's an informal dining experience in the restaurant cum cookery school. I half wondered whether I would be asked to make my own food! The South African chef, clearly has a passion for interesting flavours. My mixed salads, fish and chips were beautifully balanced. All washed down with a nice prosecco. My only gripe: being called, young man by the chef, but I probably should enjoy that while it lasts! All in all a delicious and pleasurable meal.

We love fresh, seasonal, wholesome food and we serve the food we like to eat! Every couple of weeks we hold a set-menu theme night. Among the most popular are the South African menu (our chef-proprietor comes from Cape Town) and the Spanish menu; but there are many more, from Moroccan to Starters and Desserts. our Facebook page is the best place to look, or just give us a call. Chequers also runs cookery lessons and seasonal food demonstrations. We also love homemade bread and have a Bread Club on Tuesday evenings - give us a call to find out more or to book.
