Old Chequers Inn in Suffolk Coastal

Beautiful decor retaining old pub charm with updated fixtures. Great menu, helpful knowledgeable staff, super desert, veggie choices plus carnivores catered for. Smooth wines , all at great prices. Perfect. We loved our visit and cant wait to return! Dog friendly too even giving a saucer of snacks!

We called in for lunch after calling and booking 10 minutes before arriving. On arrival greeted warmly, all the required covid measures in place, including T&T app, plus taking home phone number. Seated and ordered our drinks and starter, then main. Our meals were absolutely delicious, very generous portions, my wife could not finish hers. Despite the strange times, we felt relaxed, and safe. We had a lovely time, thank you very much and please relay our thanks to the chef. We would, without hesitation, recommend this pub.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here whilst holidaying in the area with friends. The food was delicious and the service was great. Will definitely return next time we are here.

Amazing food! The burgers were cooked to perfection and the onion marmalade with Brie was a great topping! For dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding, which was a must at this time of year. This dessert went above and beyond my expectations; I am confident that this is the best sticky toffee pudding in Suffolk! This restaurant/pub is very dog friendly as ours was treated just like any other customer. I love that the staff asked if it was okay to bring him treats over too, to which we said yes! Basil definitely wants to go back ASAP.The atmosphere here was so friendly and peaceful. We felt very relaxed and at ease. A final shout out to the staff who were attentive, polite and friendly. Also, we would like to thank the chef(s) for their immaculate food. We’ll definitely be popping back before our staycation ends!

We were staying nearby and, after stopping in for a drink, booked a family dinner for the following day. The measures in place to prevent Covid-19 were well organised and we were welcomed and shown to our table by Carol. The food was excellent and the service from Cara was friendly without being intrusive. Cara had overheard that it was my daughter's birthday and so her cheesecake dessert arrived with a celebratory message!Our only disappointment was that when we decided to return later in the week, the pub was closed as Andy and Carol were taking taking a few days holiday. However, we'll be back next time we are in the area.

Staying in Friston we were eager to try the local pub and we were not disappointed. The food was high quality and service was excellent with all the staff eager to please. Would recommend the sea bass plus their tasty fish and chips. Felt relaxed and safe as high standards of covid precautions were in place making our numerous visits very enjoyable. If only you could be our local at home!!

We have been to this pub quite a few times previously and we never fail to feel welcomed, the owners are always so friendly and the waiting staff really enjoyed having a chat with the children which was so nice for the kids. The new COVID measures put in place make you feel very confident and safe. The adult meals were all lovely (fish and burgers) the portions were perfect too, even managing to fill up my always hungry teenager! The only thing that sadly lets the pub down are the children meals. This occasion we ordered the margarita pizza (£7/8) when it arrived it was very clearly a bog standard value frozen pizza that had been whacked in the oven (we can all recognise those from the endless kids parties, right?!) my child really wasn’t keen (and we couldn’t blame them!) so we shared our dinners instead. They could easily make the children’s menu something to look forward to and still make a profit eg. The locally sourced free range pork is literally on their doorstep, some sausages & mash, or spag Bol, homemade fish fingers or a small version of the adults burgers would be absolutely perfect, and I promise it will pay off as parents would choose to go there more often.

What a fabulous restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble. There was an issue with the booking and Carol accommodated us straight away - obviously blaming her husband for the mistake!!The food was delicious, the waiting staff were attentive and had constant smiles on their faces-under their masks!Highly recommend that you try this restaurant.Toilets spotless and hygiene was paramount.Portions were very generous. Steaks good, fish and chips superb, burger huge and some interesting ‘specials’.

Always go here when visiting the area. Owners are so welcoming and friendly. Reassured by the good covid measures in they have put in place. Did not eat this time but food has been very good in the past. Highly recommended.

We were having a short break in nearby Thorepness and booked a meal here by telephone before leaving home in Nottinghamshire., after looking at online reviews, menu etc. Very much enjoyed the whole experience from being met at the door and looked after in these difficult times. The restaurant is spacious, airy and relaxing. The landlord and all his staff are very friendly and efficient, food was served fast and was all delicious. We shall definitely return when next in the area. p.s. we hope the landlady and the dog are recovering following a very unhappy incident earlier in the day

We drove around the area looking for a nice country pub to eat in and that's exactly what we got! Lovely spotless place, lovely hosts who made us feel so welcome and great food and service! Excellent guys well done and due to the current pandemic we felt so safe and everything was followed to the letter. Will definitely be back if we're in the area , hope it's not too long, thanks everyone.

We were staying at nearby Marsh Farm Sternfield and visited this pub twice during our stay. Although we didn't eat I can say that the beer was excellent and the staff were very friendly and attentive. the 3 of us felt perfectly safe due the covid measures that were in place.

We had another superb afternoon evening at old chequers where the additional outdoor seating on a warm summer evening is great. They go out of their way to make visitors and locals feel welcome and is a real oasis in these difficult times. The fish and chips were brill too. Thank you so much you deserve your certificate of excellence!

We stopped here on the first night of our holiday for a meal. Booked online and as asked got a table outside with highchair. Staff very professional and friendly. Very good food loved the Cromer crab. Toddler ate loads of pasta. Lovely ales. Will go again.

We stopped off here on our way back to our holiday rental cottage. The food was lovely, served by very friendly staff & more importantly they made us feel very safe with their covid 19 policy, it waa the first time we had eaten inside since pubs & restaurants re-opened & was pleased to see they were following guidelines properly & everything was spotlessly clean. Would recommend this lovely place

Another really lovely meal and drinks in this lovely pub Staff and owners such lovely and friendly Food was yummy

We are just home from a really lovely meal. This is a challenging time for pubs as life gradually reopens. We were met at the door, offered hand sanitiser and assured that our safety was their priority. The meal was simply delicious and very good value. The service was top drawer; such a warm and friendly staff. We couldn’t fault it. Book your table!

Had a lovely meal tonight at the Chequers with some friends, first time back after the lockdown. They are well set up inside but we took advantage of the warm evening and sat outside to eat, (lots of extra tables outside to help with social distancing) and had a fabulous meal, great veggie choices too. Andy, Carol, Cara and the whole team doing a great job in these strange times to make everyone feel safe and comfortable. Big responsibility and a delicate balancing act to create a warm, welcoming, but safe environment to relax and enjoy a drink or a meal but you cracked it! Great job guys, we’ll be back

We were able to walk to The Old Chequers from our holiday cottage, which took a whole 3 minutes! And what a lovely place to have on our doorstep. We called in for a drink when we first arrived, and then ate here throughout our stay. The food, drink and ambiance were superb, and we were really sorry to leave. We felt like locals!! Thank you to Andy and Carol, and all the staff.

We are so happy to be in walking distance to this wonderful pub! Owners very welcoming (as were the locals) food excellent, very clean and doggie friendly which is perfect for us dog lovers. Highly recommend!

We wondered over from our holiday cottage with our dog in tow to be greeted by a very welcoming landlord. We were given a choice of tables and more than enough space to accommodate our young but sizeable labradoodle. The food was top class, we had roast beef and roast pork and both were cooked to perfection. Nice deserts finished of a very enjoyable meal. We will be back next year for sure.

I wanted to try this pub for ages, so when friends came to visit from Kent, it was an opportunity to go out for lunch, as soon as we walked in there was a friendly pub that seemed to want our custom. The food we ordered was great and we will be back as it is only 10 minutes away. keep up the good work.

We were made very welcome last Sunday, including our two dogs. The owners and staff are so nice and friendly. Lunch was excellent my wife had the turkey and I had the veggie option. Could not fault the whole experience. Will be returning next year when we come back on holiday.

Dave & Jan are lovely. No Adnams, which is a relief around here. Dinner ok. Quiet but nice. Good & nice. Good & nice.

We had a really lovely meal here whilst on holiday. Amazing food,super yummy (veggie burger, game burger) and Andy and Carol were very warm and friendly. We have a 4 year old son and he had a great time too! Thank you!

Our second visit to The Chequers and we were pleased we returned. The welcome was warm and very friendly and decor clean and simple. There were locals around the bar but plenty of people eating leading to a buzzy atmosphere. My hunnie had the roast dinner which he was very impressed with and I has the veggie burger which was tasty with perfectly cooked chips. Lucking we had room for dessert. The ginger rice pudding had been popular as we had the last portion which was delicious along with the berries Eton mess which was yummy. This was all washed down with a very good Malbec. Without hesitation...we will definitely return.

Went here after it was recommended by a friend. A modernised fresh looking bar that is well presented. Great food that not only looks great on the plate, but tastes that good too. Will certainly return to try out some other delights on a fabulous menu!

Our first time here to support their special World Vegan Day menu. It was a masterclass of fabulous food! The presentation was top class and the flavours divine. It truly was a gourmet meal and for a restaurant that doesn't usually cater for vegans (they will if given notice) they did brilliantly. I'm hoping they will hold further vegan specials or at least amend their present menu to include at least one vegan option as standard. The venue is very comfortable and the staff very welcoming and friendly too, including their friendly little doggie.

Another wonderful meal, so lucky to live just down the road from this lovely pub.

Lovely pub / restaurant, imaculately clean, very friendly landlords and staff and great food. Brilliant find whilst on a weekend away. Menu changes daily, Sunday lunch was lovely (including the vegetarian option) and dog friendly as well. Highly recommend and will definitely come back if in the area. 10/10

As soon as we walked in we were welcomed like old friends even though we only stay in the area once a year. Had 4 excellent dinners. The service and quality is superb. Andy & Carol run a wonderful pub and restaurant.

There are some brilliant pubs and restaurants in Suffolk. This has got to be the best. Andy is the most accomodating host you can find, the staff are brilliant and always smiling. The premises are spotlessly clean. Atmosphere superb. Oh, and the food TO DIE FOR. We have eaten here three times in a week and everything we have had has been first class. Thank you all for making our stay in Friston most pleasurable.

This pub not your usual muddy boots local but a clean and tastefully presented modern almost gastro pub. The landlord couple were very welcoming and we had a super evening meal and local ales. Good value. We will be back.

We arrived with our 3 cocker spaniels and our 6 year old granddaughter Evie for lunch. The landlord Andy could not have been more welcoming. He paid particular attention to our granddaughter and encouraged her to eat all her lunch which Evie did. After clearing the table much to Evie’s delight he brought her 2 bags of sweets. The food was tasty and the menu had something for everyone. Thoroughly recommend this pub.

From the minute you step through the open door and are greeted with a warm smile from Andy, your experience begins. Whether sitting at the bar with the friendly locals or having a meal in the pub restaurant, you are guaranteed a lovely time. The food us cooked to perfection, reasonably priced and Jess serves you with a lovely smile. Nothing is too much trouble.

As an American being in the UK for over 2 months, I started to miss the tastes of home. A coworker of mine had been to this pub before and her highly recommended it. I met him and a few others there after work one day for dinner. And everyone of us ordered their burger which was great. When I bit into the beef, bacon and cheese I almost felt as if I was back home. The pub is very well maintained, the owners are very hospitable and the drink selection is vast. Don’t hesitate to say cheers at the Old Chequers!

We visited a couple of times during a weeks stay in a cottage locally. Carol and Andy are extremely welcoming and the food was excellent, well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Visited this lovely pub a few times during a week as we were staying only about 100 yards round the corner. Fantastic food cooked to perfection, very good value for money.

I thoroughly enjoy going here for Sunday lunch . A great welcome and friendly staff . Tables not too close . And above all delicious food at a reasonable price . Well done and thankyou .

Popped in here before heading on to an evening concert at Snape Maltings. Was a real delight. Really warm welcome by the Pub Owner and his wife who squeezed us in among the busy bookings that night. Even got the kitchen to deliver promptly at 6 pm. The menu was great and the fish pie was one of the best we had tasted for a while. And the Suffolk Ham was thickly sliced and as tasty as it looked. The pub is one of the rare independents from the Adams’ stranglehold in the area so it was good to try the Woodford’s Wherry for a change. The village is indeed fortunate to have such a local drinking establishment. We were sorry we could not have stayed longer.

If we are in the area we always make a point of visiting The Old Chequers for a very warm welcome from Carol and Andy; wonderful food and great wine list.

We passed this pub on our way to Aldeburgh for a week's holiday and decided to book for Sunday lunch. We made a late reservation (2pm) to avoid their busy time. We arrived to a friendly welcome from the landlord and were shown our table. Eventually when a party of four left he moved us to their table as he felt it gave us more room, which was a really kind gesture. We had a fabulous meal - both ordering the roast beef, followed by an amazing summer pudding and ice cream. How lovely it would be to have a local like this in our village!

Despite only living three miles from The Chequers we had not eaten there for some fifteen years, decided to book for evening meal when family were visiting. Had a great meal, very good service and atmosphere, did not disappoint. Great waitress.

We called in here, wanting to escape the busy Aldeburgh and saw some very good reviews on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed.

My husband, son and I visited this great pub one Sunday afternoon. The owners, Carol and Andy welcomed us like family. Tried some of their food, which was wonderful. Nice to find such a classy establishment. Plan to visit again soon. We highly recommend it.

After many recommendations, I took my parents here for a meal to try it out and we were not dissapointed! The pub was lovely inside and is very cosy looking.

Had lunch with family members and it was wonderful. As we walked into the bar we were met with warmth and friendliness. We ordered drinks and were given menus and explained about all the specials. Two of us chose specials and two chose from the menu. All four of us were delighted with our choices and I would recommend the sea bass fillet in lemon butter, superb..... we will definitely go again, looking forward to it already.

We stayed in the village of Friston for a lovely sunshine Easter weekend. My partner had booked a table for Friday night which was a stroll from our cottage. We were greeted by the very friendly and hospitable landlord and landlady, Andy and Carol. The menu was excellent, yet not overwhelming. The food was absolutely outstanding. My partner had the fillet of sea bass with samphire which was stunning. The drinks are reasonable and a good selection. Overall a throughly enjoyable meal, would highly recommend. Book!!

This has got to be the best place to enjoy food in the Aldeburgh area. The owners host the place and the 'meet and greet' is charming!! Service was impeccable and the best decision they owners made was their choice of chef!!! This show their business acumen and taste for the best. Our food was cooked to perfection, couldn't get better in Aldeburgh or anywhere else for that matter and we eat far and wide!!

Can only concur with previous reviews, warm, welcoming and great food, everything a good pub should be. Looking forward to a very swift return( or 2 ! ).

Wonderful warm welcome for Mother’s Day lunch for the three of us plus two dogs.

Moved to the area back in August and received the best of old fashioned welcomes from Andy on our first visit. We were introduced to all the locals and had a great time with good food.

Myself and my friend walked in to a great atmosphere, we then proceeded to sit down at one of the tables without a reserved sign and then a lady from behind the bar came over and told us that we had to move because the tables are for diners only even though we had come in to eat! So we left, customer service is somewhat lacking! Won’t be going again that’s for sure.

Ticks every box - welcoming hosts, lovely atmosphere - classy modern pub restaurant. Nice roomy tables and suitable distances away from others dining (no elbow knocking with neighbours). Didn’t try the alcohol but there was a large wine list available. And the food - absolutely sublime. We both had the sea bass and it was amazing - I wasn’t hungry to start but absolutely woofed it down. Followed up with some lovely ice cream. A visit to the facilities also did not disappoint-airy, clean and well stocked. Really lovely place and we will definitely come again if we visit Aldeburgh area in the future.

So, we booked last minute for lunch, and luckily for us there was space available.

We had time to relax on Christmas Eve and decided to go out for lunch. We didn't want traditional Christmas fare so settled for steak. The service was warm and friendly and the food delicious. Will bee going back.

Had late lunch here last Sunday with friends - the friendliest most welcoming pub we've ever been to! It was a year ago since we last visited the area and the landlord and landlady even remembered us - I'd nominate them for publicans of the year - Carol and Andy are a fantastic, friendly couple (double act!) who are obviously treasured by the locals and who run a terrific little pub.

We called here again having visited in May and had a lovely meal again. The owners are so welcoming and engaging. The meals were wonderful again. Fish pie and lightly battered Fish were cooked just right. Add a couple of good pints of Woodfordes and you have a great venue for relaxing.

Eaten here on a number of occasions now, evenings and Sunday lunch. The food is always wonderful and the owners and staff are loverly.

Called tonight nice bright spacious interior and a good welcome from the landlord. Service was excellent and food prompt. Plates fairly hot and the steak was medium as asked for. The fish and chips were good and the batter nice and light. No worries here very relaxing.

Running late. Needed a meal - our app sent us to Friston and the Chequers, It was a bit packed but they found room for us. The 'Boss man' was very inviting and made sure we had a good night. Staff were cheerful and helpful, Food was good - the service was good. Thanks

Andy and Carol were very welcoming when I walked into the Old Chequers and asked what drink I would like straight away. They also held a conversation with me and asked frequent questions about me - they care about their customers!! I live in London and the atmosphere here beats any pub in London. Chloe behind the bar was also very welcoming and sweet. Their chips are to die for and the rosè is delightful. I will 100% come again. Their reviews are true. Thank you xxx

We found this pub on a wet Sunday afternoon & booked in for Sunday lunch! The pub was busy but the staff were so friendly & helpful, as was the chap I assumed to be the landlord The food was lovely, dog friendly too! Highly recommended!

Brilliant little pub, landlord and landlady very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, reasonably priced and served promptly, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. Highly recommended!

Staying in a holiday rental in Friston & this is the only pub in the village but what a pub! Staff are attentive, service is spot on & the Landlord is a great bloke who couldn’t be more welcoming, as is his wife and the locals. We had Sunday lunch which was delicious & good value for money. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Such a lovely pub, we stayed just opposite in a cottage and used the pub 3 or 4 times. Landlord and landlady are very personable and welcoming, it's obviously popular with locals and the food is fabulous. We enjoyed a great meal there for my Mums 70 th birthday at the end of our weeks stay in Friston.

Schöner Pub, der auch von Einheimischen besucht wird. Gute Auswahl an Speisen, flexibel bei Änderungswünschen, leckeres Essen. Qualitativ sehr gutes Essen, freundlicher Service, schönes Ambiente. Gute Parkmöglichkeiten.

I’ve just read that this place was u welcoming - well I couldn’t disagree more, the landlord couldn’t do enough for us, he was friendly, informative and chatty, helped us with ideas of places to visit, gave us advice on taxis and even rang the taxi company to let them know we maybe calling. Food was good and not too overpriced, we had the small beer garden to ourselves in the sun and had a really lovely time - the perfect way to start our weekend away - thank you x

When we entered we asked for a table and was lucky there was one left. The barman/owner was very friendly with us, when we ordered he was happy to accommodate some changes on the food for my partner.

My friend and I were staying nearby over the Bank Holiday Weekend, and on the Saturday we decided to go to the Old Chequers after a 6 hour walk, before we went back to our hotel. When we walked in, there were many empty tables, with on a few with reserved signs on. We approached the bar area, where we asked for a table, and the waitress looked at us and said, "how many for?" It was pretty obvious there was only 2 of us, then she responded with, "sorry we're fully booked". I then said, it's only 2 of, we'll be very quick and there are many empty tables. She then said, "everyone has booked for 7:30pm". I then said, we can sit and eat at the bar, to which she replied, "we are not allowed to serve food at the bar". At no point did she even try to help. We could have sit outside, or she could have suggested a time where it would have bee quieter, however she did not even want to help.

Great staff, great food, very helpful to me as being in wheelchair. All the people in the place looked very happy with all ityems.

This is the second time we have had the pleasure of having a wonderful meal to celebrate our friends special birthday and her & husbands Wedding Anniversary. The Landlord & Wife are extremely welcoming, friendly and fabulous hosts as where the staff and on each visit also. They have a very varied and mouth watering menu which is always hard to decide which to choose . The food is just gorgeous, beautifully presented and always very tasteful . The pub itself is very clean and beautifully decorated.

Very unwelcoming pub we visited as a family group and we were made to feel like we had crashed a private party

Party of 4 for dinner - skipped starters and went straight to mains. Burger was superb and definitely recommend adding the bacon and cheese. The fish was nice but I have had better. The chicken curry on the specials board was very nice according to my Mum, all in all an enjoyable dinner in a nice clean restaurant with friendly staff. We were overcharged but this was a genuine mistake and quickly rectified. Would recommend eating here if you are in the area.

We called in for Saturday lunch. The pub is clean and smart with friendly staff and a great pint. The food was wonderful too. Crab cakes for starter were very light and tasty. I had the battered fish and my wife had Sea Bass. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. Will call again when visiting this way.

Great pub, very friendly welcome, good choice of drinks, great food and dog friendly... one of the main reasons we return to the area for holidays!

Our Easter break took us to Friston Suffolk just 4 miles from Aldeburgh.

We visited three times in our week staying in a cottage close by,we were very satisfied with all aspects each time,all six meals were excellent and service very pleasant.

We visited last June and were very impressed-we hoped this visit would be as good-it was!

Good food, nice welcoming owners. Recommend dropping in and having a meal. The pub is really well presented and a credit to the village

I went to this restaurant a few times when I first moved to Suffolk. The food is good,

A lovely pub, great selection of food. Staff very friendly and very happy to have dogs. Kids enjoyed it too and were very welcome. Food was very nice, freshly cooked. Puddings were great too. Thank you. I highly recommend this pub.

Met a friend for lunch here today for her birthday as she has recently moved to the village. Wasn’t sure what to expect but wow what a little gem. The inside of the pub is beautifully decorated and very spacious. The landlady was super friendly and very welcoming. My friend and I decided on roast beef which was delicious very tender and perfectly cooked, it arrived with Yorkshire puds, carrots broccoli and cabbage and roast potatoes and very tasty gravy. Although we were quite full we couldn’t quite resist the sticky toffee pudding with caramel ice cream, beautifully presented and again delicious. The prices are very reasonable too £11 for the roast! I would definitely recommend this pub with a very relaxing ambience and super friendly team and delicious food what more could you ask for? I will definitely be returning.

A weekday lunch was a very good experience at the Old Chequers. The hosts were most welcoming and the food fresh and delicious. My plaice was especially good.

Went to The Old Chequers for Sunday dinner, having driven past this place many times and not going in I now realize how silly I was lol. Food here was amazing, everything cooked perfect, my wife had beef I had pork, both cooked perfect, very succulent, crispy potatoes lovely Yorkshire Puds veg was also perfect, all lovely and food nice and hot. Had sticky toffee pudding with caramel ice cream for dessert which was in 1 word "Heanenly" staff all very nice and landlady very welcoming and friendly, will defo return here with all the family and highly recommend this lovely pub. Don't drive past. You will regret it.

We received such a warm welcome from the lady of the house as soon as we arrived and so it continued! The food was delicious and the atmosphere very conducive to a lovely family meal. Highly recommend the roast and a very good choice of desserts; all presented well and friendly and efficient service. Would definitely return and recommend others to visit this welcoming establishment.

Visited here after a disappointing meal the night before at The Crown and Castle. Enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch with friendly owners/staff. Lucy the beautiful Scottie was a particular highlight. Varied vegetarian options (always a bonus for me), cosy decor and dog friendly. We will definitely return and can highly recommend!

Our friend took us to this lovely pub for lunch today. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed some very delicious food and will definitely be going back

Not much to look at from the outside and the sort of pub you might drive past but it’s worth stopping for a meal. Very nice decor inside and we found the service of our lunch excellent. We had pork and beef traditional Sunday lunch. My wife said the pork was excellent although the beef wasn’t the best I had ever eaten. I found it a bit chewy(hence 4 stars) however, it would not deter me from visiting again. Perhaps just a rouge slice. Anyway the rest of the meal was of a high standard. There was a good selection on the menu of sweets. The weekday menu seemed to have a good selection that we intend to sample. Seems it’s not open on Mondays. My advice would be to give this pub a try.

We were staying in Aldeburgh and googled somewhere to book for an evening out and I'm so glad we did. Greeted so friendly by the landlords of this establishment as soon as we arrived. We were a party of 10 and had a lovely long table at the edge of the restaurant so really felt nice and private away from the other diners. The food I can only describe as outstanding. All of our 10 meals came out hot, fresh and presented beautifully. I would definitely return if I am this way again. Glad we found this special country pub!

It was some time since last we were here and a snap lunch with close friends was a grand idea. Initially we waited for menus, then when we ordered the wine the wrong sized glass appeared. Then we had to prompt the waitress so that we could order the food... When it came it was fine, with different meals ordered around the table. Again we had to wait to order dessert, it was as though the corner table was invisible. Puds were fine and then we left. Is it me???

Well presented and tasty Sunday Lunch in a clean and well laid out open plan pub with welcoming Landlord and Lady.

We came here on Thursday without a reservation. There was a good crowd in and I would recommend making a booking to be on the safe side. We had a very good meal and the service was prompt and friendly. A good selection of ales. I would be happy to visit again.

Always greeted by friendly landlord and his wife . Can't fault lovely Sunday roast . Always really hot , proper roast spuds and Yorkshire puds , all fresh veg .Good choice of desserts . We will be back

We had dinner with friends at the Old Chequers on their recommendation as they had been before and we were not disappointed. We received a friendly welcome on arrival and had excellent service throughout our visit. The food was well cooked and presented and with a wide choice of dishes we will definitely have to go back to sample some more.

We popped in for lunch , the pub is lovely decorated and we had a lovely warm welcome. The food was excellent and great value. The red onion &goats cheese pithiver was fabulous, and dave said the Suffolk hand craved ham , egg and chips was great,we enjoyed it so much we are going back on saturday with friends .

Beautifully decorated. Gorgeous food and perfect service. Every request was dealt with.We will be back

Booked a table here for the last night of our holiday purely based on trip advisor reviews.Service was excellent, friendly, smiley staff, fab food and reasonably priced; we all had clean plates. Would definitely return next time we are in the area.

Was taken with a group to a set meal in the evening. Had not visited Friston for several years. Pub conveniently in centre of village, recently modernised to a comfortable ambience retaining pub character catering for the locals and friendly to dogs and children.. Dining in bar area or spacious dining areas. Our pre-chosen menu was very good and adequate light chicken curry - they ensured those with dietary requirements were catered for with no fuss.Drinks selection very good. Staffing very efficient and a great welcome from the owners who were 'hands on' The normal menu seems very wide and meets vegetarian needs as well. Obviously popular place so at busy times would expect to make a reservationA great comeback for me so will try to visit again sometime soon.Good carpark. Good toilets!

Called in for evening meal without booking a table.We were greeted warmly by landlord and quickly shown to a table in the bar area.Service was prompt and efficient.The meals arrived, freshly cooked and piping hot - absolutely delicious.NOTE - food is not available Monday & Tuesday.Just a word of caution to those allergic to dogs - the locals were gathered around the bar and there were 5 dogs in that area as well as a woman holding her cat !!!Would go again but try to get seat away from the pet friendly bar area.
