The Right Setting for the Occasion

Mother’s Day often brings together families travelling from across Oxfordshire and beyond — from Abingdon, Oxford, Didcot and further afield. The Chequers' heritage building, generous dining spaces and established reputation make it a natural meeting point. It is a place accustomed to full dining rooms and long afternoons, where service moves at the right pace and every table feels looked after. On a day like Mother’s Day, that sense of familiarity matters.

A Little More Than Usual

A glass of Champagne to begin. A bottle chosen with care. A dessert that might not ordinarily make it to the table.

Our wine list has been curated to sit comfortably alongside Sunday roasts and seasonal dishes — from Champagne and English sparkling wines to classic reds and whites suited to the afternoon. It’s about choosing something that elevates the moment without overshadowing it.
