• Gastro Pub • Lytchett Matravers

We had a really great meal at the Chequers pub. There were three of us plus dog. One of our party had a food tolerance issue and the staff were really good about checking whether the person's choice of meal could be an issue (it wasn't, so that was good). The dog got made a fuss of too. The only oddity was that the place felt really empty for a Thursday evening, which was a shame as the food and drink is great. Not something the staff can necessarily do a lot about, but it did feel quite lonely, and no general background music we could hear. 🤷

We both had beef bourguignon, it was fantastic, accompanied buttery mash was absolutely stunning and the kale/broccoli on the side cooked to perfection. Lovely and quiet, great service, difficult to fault :)

Excellent service and a very friendly atmosphere. Great location with incredible views. I drove a 260 mile round trip to get there to meet an old friend. Worth every mile! Thank you.

I only visit Wells once or twice a year but your Sunday roast is well worth the drive from Surrey. Absolutely superb. Staff are brilliant. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks to you and all the team.

Fabulous setting with amazing food. First visit and will definitely be going back. Fair prices for such excellent food. Much larger Inn than I thought, lovely cosy bar area( where you can also eat if you prefer. ) We were seated in the very modern glass area at the back, very trendy and upmarket feel. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Have already recommended this to friends to try.

Great food and a great pub! We had a roast and pie and it was delicious as usual! Plus a cheeky cheesecake which was to die for. Definitely recommend coming here.

    Enjoyed a Sunny Sunday lunch whilst out walking so much we returned later in our holiday week for an evening meal. Delicious food with strong local provenance, super helpful and friendly staff, making both visits a pleasure. This is a lovely place to visit for good food and friendly service, pleasant garden seating and it’s dog friendly.
