IN THE BEAUTIFUL GEORGIAN CITY OF BATH, Chequers has been the central meeting point for the community on River Street, Royal Crescent and Circus for countless years.

Staff are lovely. Service is quick. I came here in Sept 2024 with a friend and it was ok/ good. Came back in Dec 2024 with my partner. The food was pretty unpleasant. Fortunately we were starving so we largely ate it but we both felt quite unwell after. The chef puts a hell of a lot of salt on the food. Rich pork cheeks on creamy Welsh rarebit combines two dishes and was overly rich. The pasta tasted as if it were cooked in cream and covered in too much Parmesan and salt. Just too sickly. Too much going on. Less is more! Let the ingredients speak for themselves. Good ingredients with as little done to them as possible would work much better. The River Cafe knows how to keep it simple. That’s the secret of good cuisine. Glad we have been to Chequers but I think we won’t go again.

What can we say? From the moment we set foot through the door we were welcomed and given top quality service. The female server (didn’t catch her name) was really knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the food, it was clear she wasn’t just regurgitating a menu script and provided some really good recommendations. The food was amazing and a real cut above. My scallops were delicious as was the partridge. I really can’t speak highly enough of the venue, the food and especially the wonderful staff. Thank you we will be back!
