Piston heads reviews

-The Chequers Pub At Bilton In Ainsty,Home of NYTVRCC, good food, good prices. On the York road 5 mins past the racecourse.
-Another vote here, the whole family went last Sunday for lunch. Good atmosphere and good food and handily, just between York and Wetherby
-The Chequers Inn is superb. The food is very good, price is very good and the atmosphere is welcoming and cosy.I would highly recommend it, plus its out in the middle of nowhere so is nice and quite.
-Many, many thanks from me and the OH. Went to the Chequers for grub yesterday - absolutely fantastic. Food was perfect, staff were great, and the atmosphere was perfect. Very reasonably priced too.
Liked it so much we went back for a couple of lunch drinks on the way home today... and it won't be the last time.

York press review

They have done a good job, with the Chequers boasting a pleasant and cosy atmosphere. They are also clearly trying to ensure they achieve the highest customer satisfaction, as we were handed a questionnaire before we left asking what we thought of things such as the speed of service and the food.

My overall verdict was that the Chequers is triumphant proof that the village pub does have a future, and the punters will come out to them - provided landlords are prepared to invest enough in them, and provide good quality food, drink and service.

Have been and eaten here on several occasions. Fantastic food wine and service. Have stayed overnight in their comfortable B and B with a fantastic English breakfast in the morning. Everyone has always been extremely welcoming and I would love this to be my local!
