Our Head Chef, Maciek, has given away a few trade secrets sharing his favourite dishes from the Autumn/Winter menu at The Chequers. These are sure to get you reaching for those pots and pans. Cook up a these favourites as the nights are drawing in and everyone will be happy. We’ve got the famous Chequers Twice Baked Cheese Soufflé as well as the comforting Lentils with Braised Bacon to tempt you.
A long standing favourite at The Chequers. The clue is in the title but the key to this dish is that it cooks in the oven twice.
These lentils work brilliantly with fish like cod or hake. Or even something like a flat iron chicken (as is currently on the menu at The Chequers).
Our favourite spots for a dip! A guide to the best wild swimming spots here in the Cotswolds:
🌿 Minster Lovell - the River Windrush flows by here, passing the ruined remains of the old Minster Lovell Hall and dovecote. Beautiful swim spots and shallow waters here, and just 15 minute drive from our hotel @doubleredduke
🚣 Buscott Weir - just outside Lechlade, this picturesque weir has a natural deep pool ideal for confident swimmers!
🌊 Stonesfield - go for a paddle in the River Evenlodethe. A footbridge leads to a shallow bay, clean water, and local scenery worth exploring. Close by to Blenheim Palace!
