Several weeks ago we visited Oulton Park for @bingbabe’s [marathon training](https://steemit.com/running/@slobberchops/marathon-training-and-old-pubs), and I did write about it at the time.

Later when she finished, starvation was kicking in and so we visited the closest eatery which happened to be on the racing compound and unimaginatively named ‘**Chequers**’.

It doesn't look anything special from the outside and I was not expecting too much from it being one of these places where you are forced to eat simply because there are no other alternatives.

What was offered surprised me and I particularly liked the look of those roast potatoes but ended up buying something else!


![IMG_6423.jpg](https://static.tasteem.io/uploads/image/image/156369/2373a423-f73e-4ca4-856c-56d1352d5fb1.jpeg)



As usual, the menu was quite dismal for vegetarians with a solitary offering only. I often wonder what it is like having very little offered for those who have chosen to be herbivores.

@bingbabe and I both opted for the Gammon, chips, peas, and egg (or pineapple) at £9. I felt this was decent value as I could actually see the meat behind the glass.

It does make a change to see what you are going to get before it’s presented to you.

Service was good and were eating in less than 5 minutes. It's not like they had to cook the stuff, it was already there!


![IMG_6429.jpg](https://static.tasteem.io/uploads/image/image/156373/2373a423-f73e-4ca4-856c-56d1352d5fb1.jpeg)


The café was not particularly full which surprised me given the number of runners finishing their 24 miles of training. I would say that gives you some appetite.


![IMG_6430.jpg](https://static.tasteem.io/uploads/image/image/156374/2373a423-f73e-4ca4-856c-56d1352d5fb1.jpeg)


I have entered this review for the Cheap and Fabulous contest, but it's more a case of cheap and decent. The gammon I thought was palatable without being fantastic. 


![IMG_6434.jpg](https://static.tasteem.io/uploads/image/image/156375/2373a423-f73e-4ca4-856c-56d1352d5fb1.jpeg)



The chips and peas are probably frozen but they always do a better job of when I make frozen chips. In fact, I don't bother anymore as they always taste like crap.


![IMG_6428.jpg](https://static.tasteem.io/uploads/image/image/156376/2373a423-f73e-4ca4-856c-56d1352d5fb1.jpeg)


Chequers is cheap and decent as I mentioned. For somewhere that is on a racetrack and is the only place to eat for miles, I would recommend it and would eat there again given the chance.

Next time it will be those potatoes for sure.
