The Checkers
Review
“Imagination should be the centre of your life.” R. Bradbury.
Situated in the Welsh county of Powys, The Checkers is a picture perfect 17th Century, former coaching inn, with low-slung beams, wood burner and four inviting guest rooms, which ooze classic, understated elegance with crisp white linens and muted opulence. Owned by Chefs: Andrew and Rachel Birch, who together bring a wealth of experience to the formerly Michelin-starred restaurant; The Checkers, have poured all their love, time, and creativity into a dream come true for both themselves and their guests. Andrew has spent his life dedicated to his craft, and is a chef who has worked in Michelin-star and AA-rosette kitchens, working for the Tanner brothers and Kenny Atkinson, becoming head chef at Fishmore Hall, where he achieved three rosettes and built his profile by appearing on BBC 2’s Great British Menu.
