Great food great staff, all very friendly
From the moment you arrive, you're swept into a picture-perfect setting: panoramic views of the river ripple with charm, framed by twinkling lights and the soft murmur of flowing water. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between laid-back and upscale, with staff who are warm, witty, and genuinely passionate about making your visit unforgettable. And the food? Divine. Every dish feels like it was hand-delivered by culinary gods. The steaks are masterfully cooked — seared with a crust that sings and butter-soft in the center. The seafood? As fresh as if it had leapt straight from the river to your plate. Even the sides feel like they’ve had Michelin-level attention — perfectly seasoned, artfully plated, and dangerously moreish. The menu is inventive without being pretentious, and the drink selection is impressively curated — cocktails that hit all the right notes and wines that elevate every bite. Whether you’re here for a romantic dinner, a celebratory lunch, or just to treat yourself on a random Tuesday, Chequers delivers something genuinely special. It’s not just one of the best riverside restaurants — it’s one of the best restaurants, period. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out. Go. Book now. Thank me later.
Really missing Chequers in Articlave and sat in here instead. Excellently fried, and well-cooked. Huge portions too (especially fish!);and always a few extra chips added to single portions. Also, one of the best pasties I've ever had. We'll be back soon!
Great service, especially from the girl at the till called Jessica. Always serves with me with a smile and very friendly and informative! She will happily correct orders, work through miscommunication and you can tell she’s always doing her best for the customers. Good food, too.
Although disappointed in the Articlave branch, was happy to try out a Fish at lunchtime. We had a Cod and a portuon of sausages, there were throw in chips so although expensive including a bottle of Fanta and a portion of red sauce at 65p was a god enough value meal. Sausages were good, but the Cod was probably the best I've had in the last 10 years. Chips were outstanding as well. Loose the ridiculous charge for sauce, and I would put this chippy as best in NI.
Fantastic customer service. The staff are committed to helping this shop thrive and their kindness to customers is more than admirable. They always maintains a high work ethic whether they are on the till or working in behind. Customers are met with a friendly tone and are ensured they get the best experience they can. It’s gives customers peace of mind knowing when they go into the shop, they are either met with a pleasant persona, or with the comfort of knowing they are hard at work in the back preparing your food. In addition, any order I have received has never failed to meet the standard that is desired!
