Harden's says

Checkers' chef Stéphane Borie handed back his Michelin star in 2018, opting to focus on private clients. His wife Sarah Francis and her co-owner sister Kathryn have since turned it into a more casual breakfast and lunch spot, Checkers Pantry.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

In Spring 2022, Andrew Birch (erstwhile head chef of London’s Savoy Grill) and his wife Rachel relaunched this well-known coaching inn, part of a small scenic town in rural Powys. The main option is a seven-course tasting menu (with a vegetarian alternative), but there’s also a simpler lunch. No feedback as yet in our annual diners’ poll.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
