Fab pub, great ales, lovely lovely friendly owners and staff. they make everyone so welcome including the dogs - they have taken this pub beyond its huge popularity of 90's - it really feels like the hub of the village again.

It's a nice looking pub with a bit of character to it. The bar staff were friendly enough and the orices are ok. It was difficult to get to the bar though due to people leaning on/ hanging around it with their drinks.

Very nice and cozy pub with mesmerised Xmas decorations 🎄 non alcoholic drinks available and I enjoyed Heineken 0%. Pool table and snacks are on offer as well. The only downside it’s a bit chilly 🥶 inside.

Having been staying in the area, the Chequers Inn at Breaston provided a great welcome, Really friendly place to hang out and everyone I've met in here, bar staff and regulars are all equally happy to have a chat. There's three areas, one with a very cosy feel, carpeted and traditional, a hard floor area with a large TV and comfy seating, and a sports area with pool table and darts. Very multi-generational and inclusive, everyone is looked after and canine friendly too! Dog treats available at the bar - woof! Superb bar management too, no one ignored, always acknowledged. Great choice of drinks including non-alcoholic and newspapers also available. Look out for the big teddy bear with the unfortunately grumpy face (hey, it's what's on the inside that counts), who is often dressed up to promote happenings. There's a Pub quiz Tuesdays, and a disco night once a month on a Saturday night. There's also an outdoor area which I'm sure will be hugely popular come the sunshine.. Such a great find this place, very close to the village centre.

Really lovely cafe in the heart of Breaston, extensive menu at good prices and the food is lovely. I had the garlic mushrooms with poached eggs on half a pancetta with rocket and it was really lovely. The large latte was superb. Highly recommended.

What a lovely little cafe. I called in here whilst my car was being serviced and was greeted with a warm welcome by all the staff who were great The cafe had a real good feeling to it and sold a multitude of things other than food. The food was cooked well, even the eggs which I am funny about but it was perfect for me, I am a white firm, yellow runny kinda guy. The prices are fair, they will never compare with big pub chains but I am always willing to pay a little extra to keep a local shop in business Probably my only gripe was that it opened a little late for me, but I am an early bird so it is nothing new for me to experience. Would I go again? Definitely, the next time I'm in Ilkeston
