CheckMate Bar, Lounge and Restaurant

If you're looking for great service, look elsewhere. My experience at this restaurant was awful. It took 25 minutes for two sandwiches to be served, and then we had to send them back because they were cold.

The chef at this restaurant is Thai and the menu offers a delicious combination of British and Thai cuisine. However, the difficulty in reading the drinks menu was an unnecessary annoyance. It seems that the menu should have been tested before being printed.

We booked a table for two on a Sunday bank holiday evening, it was really quiet with just two other tables being use, having said that there was a nice feel to the dining area. We asked about a taster menu advertised on the web site but were told it wasn't available,our 2nd choice was Thai so that was OK. My wife had scallops and I had chicken skewers followed by King prawn and glass noodles and green curry with prawns both good serving and very tasty. Also advertised two for one cocktails which were OK for one round but they had ran out of the making of a second, and had limited making for other cocktails that some friends who joined us had asked for......they could do with stocking up if they are advertising it to get you into the bar! The seating area was very comfortable and spacious so our party of 12 were able to sit comfortably. We would definitely visit again but would hope that they have more choice of cocktails if so advertised.

My second visit to this restaurant and planning to go again. Delicious food. The best Thai I have tasted in London. Very pleasant service and a good atmosphere. Pianist was good. Very reasonably priced. Good portions.

We arrived for an early evening meal and were warmly welcomed. We were impressed with the variety of options on the menu. We were also happy to discover that it was Happy Hour, making drinks very affordable. The service was polite and fast, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. We would recommend this restaurant.
