Chequers Bar & Grill

It is only relatively recently that diners began to be interested in where their food came from. Now provenance is a key aspect of any modern restaurant looking to be respected.

Today’s Big Deal offers a meal for two in a Glasgow establishment that takes pride in serving up the finest Scottish produce in style. Chequers Bar & Grill, on Sauchiehall Street offers excellent fresh Scottish meats and seafood in a chic, stylish, modern setting.

Scottish cuisine

Chequers puts the emphasis on Scottish steaks and seafood, although its menu covers plenty of bases. The restaurant has a sharp cream, silver and black colour scheme, with a choice of booth seating or those window tables that offer great views of the colourful street theatre that is Sauchiehall Street.

Available for lunch or dinner from Sunday to Friday and for lunch only on Saturdays, today’s Big Deal offers a main course each for two diners, with a bottle of red or white wine to share.

Inventive menu

The Chequers menu will reflect seasonal availability, but typical choices may include:

Corn fed chicken breast, with roast carrots, almond and thyme crust

Grilled organic Shetland salmon, with borlotti bean slaw and nduja sauce

Whole baked Peterhead plaice, with lemon & parsley butter

Handmade Chequers beef burger, with Mull cheddar, smoked Ayrshire bacon & a side of skinny fries

Buttermilk fried chicken, with spiced tomato relish and a side of skinny fries

Vegetarian choices are always available.

Grill section items will be available at a supplement. Please discuss with Chequers at time of dining.

Your wine can be chosen from the white D’Vine Inzolia Terre Siciliane or red D’Vine Cabernet Savignon.

Impressed diners

The Chequers Bar and Grill has plenty of positive reviews on TripAdvisor, including the following, edited for length:

‘It’s lovely inside, has been all done up and the colour scheme is smart. I had the Chequers burger – burger handmade as was the roll it was on. Really good choices on the menu, great variety.’

‘The food was SO good. Tastes that made you wonder what kind of spice, what kind of vegetable, how did they cook that, etc.’

Classy dining
