We come here for a meal because saw it was open next the fish and chip shop it was stunning we had cheddar cheese and broccoli soup fresh hot rolls for starter then I had a mushroom risotto so creamy and tasty would recommend this place to others with a visit open lunch and evenings not Mondays but can taste the fresh food not some places that cook in microwaves or packs. Makes a change to find a place that does real food. Also dress code I was worried but all was good I was shorts and hoodie but they did not mind.

The best fried bread of all time ever. Crisp, tasty and utterly delicious.

Brought our friends here for lunch on our recommendation as they’re fish lovers. We all had either Cod or Scampi and Chips and all agreed it was amongst the best we’ve had. Portions are generous and the quality and cooking was fantastic. We’ll definitely be back ??

We have been to The Square Chequers Lenham Fish bar Cafe for a birthday dinner. The environment, service and food was absolutely AMAZING! Huge well done to the CHEF . We definitely will come back again !

Another excellent meal at The square fish, we have been here often and never been disappointed. When we visit Lenham we always book as it is such a delicious meal and the staff are so friendly ! Definitely 5⭐️ from us !!

Went to Stalagluft 3, Colditz and Dresden with Tripsmiths. Guide was Guy Walters who was excellent and very knowledgable. Our tour manager,..Susie, was brilliant, organised everything so well. Highly recommended. Only downside was the outbound security queues at Berlin Brandenburg Airport. Suggest that this airport be avoided in the future.

Fine food and IssuesDecided to visit as the reviews were mainly great.Arrived to find it looked ten minutes after due to be open. They were just opening the door.I went in and quickly used the toilet, not flushed by last person that used it!It's a well laid out, well decorated restaurant. I chose the Escargots as my starter, well cooked with a very small amount of sauce sadly no tongs to hold the shell. They were 6 very nice molluscs.The main was an absolutely sensational tasty seafood salad. Interesting dressing on a generous variety of sea food and nice salad.I had ordered a lime and soda, it transpired they had no lime so someone went out to buy some and could only get lemon, which was ok.When it came to the desert I liked the idea of four of them but ordered the lemon tart. A few minutes later the lady running front of house (I later discovered it was her first day in post!!) Returned hugely apologetic telling me sadly they had no lemon tart. I chose the cherry clafouti and a few minutes later the young lady came back devastated to tell me they had none of that either!I eventually had a brownie, which she didn't charge me for. Must confess it didn't excite and the supplied ice cream was quite crystallised as if it had been refrozen.The table next to me were told they had no more Escargot, so clearly they opened with only one portion available.Front of house was good, 2/3 of the food I had was great but clearly someone needs to sort out the kitchen too many problems to give customers confidence of availability.Was it worth the trip? Oh yes but they have some serious organisational issues to resolve.

Such a wonderful restaurant. Service was fantastic, restaurant was extremely clean and well presented but the food was out of this world! Can't wait to return.

Another amazing seafood meal at the Square Fish!! Lovely relaxed atmosphere, very attentive service, without being bothersome. I thought I had my meal choices nailed before I got there, then, I spotted the specials board!!! I notice the bar has grown somw since my last visi, pity it was my turn to drive. But, parking was spot on, right outside.

Been many times and always had beautiful food , went there today and the food was terrible. The service was even worse , the prices have gone and to top it all you get about 8 chips if you’re lucky. The fish was always fresh here now it’s just like any other fish shop with the price a tag ! Very disappointed!! Will not be returning .Parking: Lots parking

We made a last minute booking for my birthday here last night. Dinner was amazing, the platter is better than what I had at Rick Stein Cornwall. The family had fish and chips, a variety was offered and my children loved that the batter was very light. I had a great meal and thanks for being highlight of my weekend

Superb Hake and Monkfish followed by Tart Tatin and Clafoutis. Highly recomended Nice atmosphere, good service, and an interesting selection of meals to be tried next time.
