The Chequers Inn in Horsham

Booked a table in the restaurant for 7.15pm. Arrived on time and we were shown to our table and we were asked if we would like a drink. My wife asked if they had any low or non alcoholic wine. The waitress said she would enquire. 35 minutes later, we were still waiting for an answer! After attracting the attention of another young lady (there were several flitting about but they kept their heads down and avoided any eye contact) we placed an order. Eventually our drinks arrived and I told the young lady that we were still waiting for someone to take our food order! By this time, we had been waiting nearly 50 minutes.! She apologised and took our order. When the food finally came, it was very good. It was well presented, tasty and very good but the long wait and the appalling service spoilt the whole evening. Whilst I accept they were quite busy, the fact that we were virtually ignored for almost 45 minutes was quite unforgivable. Just to have been acknowledged would have helped! Even though we live quite close by, I would have to think twice about returning unless, of course, they change or train the serving staff!

Food was standard pub grub but over priced for what you get and the service was terrible. Meal felt rushed, I assume because the kitchen closes at 8:30pm to the extent that our mains were brought out while we were still eating starters. Once we had finished our mains only half the plates were cleared away despite the service staff coming over twice to offer us dessert. We declined each time and despite having empty glasses we were not offered more drinks or coffees etc. we had planned to stay longer but given the poor service etc we decided to leave early and asked our taxi to collect us early. Would not return, far better places in the area for the same cost. Such a shame as we heard great things about the place but a real disappointment.

Great food, down-to-earth pub cum no-frills restaurant in a perfect little hamlet. There's a garden and a patio at the front. The menu is not fancy, it's just good food from Fish and chips to a Sunday roast and all sorts in the middle. It's not cheap, but who's worried because you won't be disappointed. Don't go there, I don't want too many people to find it.

Went with daughter and son in law. Food was great, service was brilliant and very reasonably priced (in my opinion). Only downside was......there was too much on the plate and I had no room for dessert. Next time, I will have a starter and dessert!!

We were passing and decided to stop and have a drink as it looked great We ordered two small bottles of non alcohol lager and a half pint of ale Quite amazed when presented with the bill for £ 11.35 someone is sure working on London prices If you go bring please of money

I really enjoyed our recent experience at The Chequers Inn. The food was good and the service was excellent. I had a very good meal, which was the South American steak and a very nice pudding which was the honeycomb ice cream. The staff were friendly and helpful. If your very tall you might have to duck down quite a lot, because the ceiling is very low.

Dreadful service delays, and no apologies, so have to assume they don't care. However, although food and service poor, the prices were more realistic that when we last visited.

Absolutely devasted having booked for a celebratory meal on my 7th birthday to find menu changed since booking made (less than a week) and offered very standard pub grub. Food OK but nothing special. Service quite slow despite restaurant not bring full.

Went here as a party of 8 aged 21 to 85, celebrating my dad's birthday. The whole evening was great. The regular menu is full of pub classics which were generous and perfectly cooked the specials were a little more erm special and again were delicious. The service was impeccable, the prices were reasonable and the ambience was warm and rustic. Highly recommend, we'll be back!

Pre pandemic we used to eat regularly at the Chequers and the food has always been excellent. An impromptu lunchtime visit proved that despite the incredibly difficult trading conditions that all pubs have faced since covid, the Chequers is still up there producing lovely food. The bar staff were friendly and welcoming and the calves liver and bacon was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection and totally hit the spot. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Well done to all.

Delicious food, cosy atmosphere, reasonably quiet (although all tables booked/occupied). For us it was wonderful. Liver and bacon was delicious, as was the soup and the dessert. I can’t get my head around a previous comment mentioning the cost of living crisis - menu is available online with prices, have a look before you go and if you can’t afford it go elsewhere. Based on our experience I would highly recommend.

Fui sem reserva , comida estava com muito bom aspecto aliado ao sabor , rapidez na sua confecção,serviço eficaz , preço justo ,reparo só mesmo na sala estava um pouco fria (nao reparei se havia aquecimento)

Had a nice evening here with family but was just left feeling a little disappointed after very positive reviews from friends. In general, the atmosphere was nice. The liver was good, fish and chips ok, but the vegan burgers really let the food down. £14 for a burger patty, a bit of chutney and a bun with a small side salad and no chips was a real shame as the actual (externally sourced) patty was a brilliant vegan patty! Just felt that it could have easily been so much better with the salad inside the burger, and some chips. Considering the cost of living crisis, it seemed very very stingy. The service was OK, considering the staff member was new, the lack of knowledge of what beers on tap was understandable. However, it did take about 15 minutes for staff for remove empty plates from the table after our courses despite popping their head in a number of times. Good selection of deserts, all of which we ordered (sticky toffee, Panna cotta and churros) were ok.

If you could give 11/10 in a review in all areas Chequers would score 11 in every area! An absolutely amazing establishment. We have been over a dozen times and it's always excellent. The food is Michelin star standard every time and all the staff are attentive and give great service. What an amazing place, cosy fires and great atmosphere with excellent beer, wine and food. The perfect place any day of the week. The best Inn and restaurant in West Sussex and Surrey by far!

£5.60 for a pint of Harveys Sussex or Shere drop when both are nearly half that price locally.Asked not to sit at a table of 8 as "that's where locals usually sit when they come in" I asked what time they come in "not sure" Food really.really average (ate there about 4 wks ago) and that table will no longer be a problem. Goodbye and ripping people off does not last indefinitely.

Our intended Wednesday lunch venue was the The Fox at Rudgwick but it has now closed so a search came up with the Chequers Inn. We were a walk-in and were well accommodated with some friendly young staff serving us two. Three real ales available so that was a good start. The small bar area was indeed quite cool despite a lovely log burner. (Suggest to the Owner that one of those fan/blower things next to the burner might distribute the heat better.) A varied menu to choose from so it was the beef carpaccio and then fish and chips for me. My partner went for the veggie burger with mash and vegetables. My carpaccio was very good (delicious tuilles) but could have been a bit more ‘a chambre’ temperature. The fish (-hake, my favourite-) and chips was indeed excellent and possibly the best I have ever had in a pub or restaurant. The bill was a bit of a surprise what with Shere Drop at £5.40 a pint and charging a bit too much extra for the mash and veg even though we had discussed options before hand. I told the Cook/Owner how good the fish and chips were and another customer agreed. We will visit again.

Cold room to sit in to eat our lunch An Absolute NO NO, Small table for 4 Would I Recommend it I'm afraid its a NO

We had a lovely meal. The food and service was very good. Only problem was it was so cold. We were sat on the left side of the pub as you enter with one other table. The tiniest of log burners was lit. We asked...

I have just celebrated my 60th at the chequers with 13 other friends on Saturday 6th August 2022 Cora & her staff were incredibly helpful, courteous, & efficient. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals with a great ambience.

Atmosphere was pretty stuffy with no open windows on a July evening. The place has potential but nobody is extracting its best. The bread and butter is warm and tasty and the squid starter was great. The problem they have is that the white wine...

One of my favourite places to eat. Went for Sunday lunch with family who were visiting the area. Nice menu with traditional Sunday roast and a good choice of other options. I chose the roast lamb which was superb, as was the beef which my...

Very average. Read reviews & was expecting more. Pub was hard to find so doubt will be back. If you want small beamy pub then you will like it.

Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the Chequers (specially to Cora) for our lovely lunch on Saturday. We specially loved the table you chose for us and the friendly welcome to our two small dogs. The food as always was superb. We’ll see...

We came here about three years ago and decided to come again. We both had starters followed by the fish and prawn main course. I have to say the food was exceptional full of incredible flavour I would say bordering on Michelin standard. However, just...

I had one of the best, if not the best, Sunday roasts I can remember having in a pub. You pay a little more but it’s absolutely worth it. It’s a lovely setting and the service was exceptional. We mentioned we were going to share...

Amazing as always. The food and the service was absolutely spot on. Best pub in the area for sure. I’d eat here every day if I could afford it!!

Lovely welcoming staff and service was impeccable. Food was amazing and the pub was the perfect ambience

We chose to book The Chequers in based on so many positive TripAdvisor reviews, and it did not disappoint! Really beautiful cosy old pub with loads of character and charm. For reasons I won't bore you with, we were over an hour early for our...

Eaten here a few times and never disappointed. Great country pub and very friendly and attentive staff. Had Sunday lunch on this occasion with some friends and everyone had a nice time.

What can I say? Words can’t describe how brilliant not only the food but also the service and staff are. It’s a regular of ours for a reason. In 20+ years we’ve never had a bad meal or experience. Cora is brilliant as are all...

Out for a meal with friends on a lunchtime. Restaurant and bar were busy- lots of very happy customers all around. Staff were amazing- very attentive. Food was excellent as usual- will definitely be back.

We used to love the Chequers, but not now. October 2021 and all the staff are muzzled, all too covid covid for us, so we went for lunch elsewhere. If you like that sort of thing, this is the place for you, if not, go...

A hidden gem...well to me it is. Just a little bit far from horsham centre that I didn't know about it till I saw the reviews a couple of years ago and took my family there, and we keep coming back. The perfect balance of...

We booked lunch shortly after COVID restrictions lifted. Sat in sunny courtyard. Superb lunch, fish of the day good friendly service. Not cheap but very good food.

Great food, great service and a fabulous garden to enjoy on a sunny Sunday. Staff were attentive, food was delicious and a wonderful area in the garden to sit in deckchairs and enjoy the sun after eating. It has been a while since I have...

Very nice place with some unusual dishes, very tasty. The staff were very attentive and well presented.

First visit to The Chequers in early May. Due to Covid restrictions we were in the garden marquee which was fine. The food was excellent, beautifully cooked and presented and served by attentive and enthusiastic staff. We'll be back. :-)

Visited The Chequers at Rowhook today (Bank Holiday Monday) for lunch. Weather was blustery, and quite cold. Had to eat in the garden due to Covid restrictions. And had just THE BEST experience!!Seated in large marquee area which kept us warm, out of the wind, and strangely quite cosy despite being open-ended, we were 5 adults from an 82-year-old down to 27, plus a 2-year-old; so our table represented a fair cross-section of customers! Firstly the food; between us we had roast pork, roast beef, ham egg and chips, and pan-fried calves liver. ALL were excellent. Followed by apple tart, dark chocolate and raspberry tart, and of course for one, the obligatory sticky toffee pudding; again, very very nice. Great food,as we all know only too well, can be let down by poor service; not here tho. Literally from the moment we arrived and were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome, to the moment we left, NOTHING was too much trouble. Not only did there always seem to be a member of staff on hand when you needed anything, they all served with a smile and a happy attitude. New beginnings for us all, post-Covid, but once again The Chequers has not only delivered, but it seems to have actually upped its game - well done to Cora and her team, and of course to the chef - we will be back soon!Many thanks Nick & Debs

Been coming to the chequers for the last 20 years and has lovely food. Best service and food this evening by far. Great to see them open and thriving after lockdown.

I have just had a family meal at Chequers and yet again all the food was outstanding, the staff welcoming and very accommodating when we wanted to move our table into the sun. This is my favourite place to eat in the area and I always leave feeling satisfied and never disappointed.

Charming pub/ restaurant with excellent food and a special atmosphere . Efficient and willing service . We had 1. liver , bacon and mash plus 2. duck leg with special confit followed by a generous selection of cheeses . We were impressed with the enticing choice of desserts but refrained in view of imminent Christmas excesses. 10 mins drive north west of Horsham . Highly recommended

Enjoyed a lovely meal out with friends. Food was fantastic with giant portions and cooked to perfection. We all had different dishes and they all looked great. The sticky toffee pudding was just incredible. Service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Masks were constantly worn by all staff and from what I could see all covid procedures were adhered to. Excellent pub and will definitely be returning soon.

Love Chequers and have been going there for years as it has been our favourite restaurant. However, Covid has changed the place and not in a good way! Let's face it, most of us are sensible people and understand what we need to do to keep ourselves and others safe but blimey, this restaurant has become unrecognisable! Firstly, you have to view the menu via a QR code! What's wrong with a disposable paper menu (which can be easily disposed of!) Trying to order wine was quite a painful experience without a wine list, the waitress clearly had no clue which resulted in us receiving the incorrect bottle! The head waiter was, as often, arrogant and abrasive, the tables were sticky and the service was poor. One waitress for the whole place! That said, the food was excellent but for the money, the service lets the place down. Shame. It'll be a while before we return

We have been to the Chequers a handful of times over the last couple of years and have loved it, the building and atmosphere is beautiful and is complimented by great food and good service however we were sad to be disappointed this time. When we arrived we were greeted by an older gentleman who was very rude about us being 30 minutes early for our booking as we wanted to enjoy drinks beforehand. ‘Well your table is not until 7:30 so we have to serve all the other bookings first’ This made us feel extremely unwelcome! I am unsure if they have changed their chef but the food was not quite up to the usual standard of the Chequers we were used too either. Everything seemed over cooked which made it really dry. Will give pub another chance as might have been a one off due to the difficult circumstance but sad to see what was a great venue loosing it’s high standards.

Very nice choice of food across the starters, mains and desserts. Had the fillet steak which came out over down but they quickly rectified and it came back perfect. Sausage and mash was great and the chocolate mousse to die for. Efficient and friendly service. Good social distancing measures in place.

Great food with excellent service, the portion sizes were fantastic, my mother had smoked salmon and there was much more than expected. The fries were hand cut and really tasty, steak was cooked perfectly, all round great experience!

As above, we were very pleased with the food indeed, delicious. Service could have been a little faster, however the staff were pleasant and helpful but we were most surprised to see the staff weren't wearing masks as the staff in our local in Hove were, also like the aforementioned pub our details weren't taken for track and trace. Apart from that effort seemed to have been made with sanitising etc. On the whole we were pleased we had booked

Lovely pub with great atmosphere and very friendly staff, however was so disappointed with the food.I had Fish and Chips which were terrible. Very small portion , which has obviously been cut and the chips were dire, thin and looked and tasted more like oven chips. Should be chunky and fresh not frozen.Both Beer and diet coke were flat ... So disappointing . Will try again to give them second chance. If no improvement we will not return

Chequers is one of our favourite places to eat and it was lovely to be back after lockdown. Great care was taken by the staff to ensure customers were safe. The food was, as ever, excellent. We both had the fish and chips (which, despite Chequers being a country pub, is probably the best you'll ever get). For pudding, I had a chocolate and salted caramel pot, my wife had affogatto. In the many times we have previously visited, we have never eaten outside before but as it was a lovely day, we sat on the back patio area, shaded by vines. It was fantastic. A great job by a talented team getting things up and running again and, given how busy it was, many people clearly agree. We'll be back again soon.

Wow! Each course is full of flavour and perfectly cooked. A hidden gem that more people should know about. We dined from the A La Carte menu but you have the choice to dine from this or the bar menu (or mix and match) Staff were fantastic and knowledgable. Highly recommend and we will be back!

we visited for the first time on a friday lunchtime. food was excellent, nicely presented, service was good and having wheelchairs amongst our party, were able to sit comfortably at our table.

I was visiting in the area and recalled a visit to this pub some 10 years previously. I just wanted to see what had changed etc. Nothing pretentious from the outside with one wall seemingly clad in some some form of corrugated material. Inside just as I remembered. Friendly, welcoming old fashioned pub with no "gimmicks"!I just wanted a quick bite to eat and opted for the battered fish and chips as I overheard that the pies take 25 minutes to serve. I wished that I was not in a hurry when I saw the pies arrive. Seemingly of very man sized portions and from overheard comments, I believe they were much appreciated. However, on delivery my fish batter seemed to be slightly over cooked. But on tasting, it was possibly the recipe because it was delicious. Furthermore, it looked a little too short but on inspection what they had done was to apparently folded the fish to make it thicker before placing it in the batter. I might be mistaken but it was just what I wanted and the chips were very much to my liking. None of this thrice fried nonsense of chips that look like wedges of potato as thick as my thumb. The salad was a little too much and frankly I did not eat it. I will be back for a pie next time.

We enjoyed super steak ciabattas in the bar area, the sandwich was excellently cooked (pink) and served with a lovely salad and parsnip crisps (yum). Staff were attentive and really friendly, particularly in chatting with our son. We’ll definitely be back!!

We revisited this venue after moving away from the area over 30 years ago. What a change, the food was excellent and served on hot plates which is uncommon in a lot places we have eaten at recently. The staff were exceptionally friendly and we were looked after all the time we were there.

First time visiting here after looking around the area and reviews but definitely not the last absolutely hands down beats my previous favourite places Welcome friendly, also liked there was already water on tableAs for the food I’ve tried hard to nit pick and find a fault but honestly I can’t quite often I come out after a meal and say it was nice but I can do that at homeAbsolutely not this time the scallops and especially the homemade black pudding were out of this world My MIL who I was dining with had soup, boring you might think, no it was so flavoursome and don’t even get me started on the delicious breadBoth mains were equally delightful and desserts were awesome You’re gained frequent new ladies that like to lunch

Ancient pub with woodburning stove. Low lintels so watch your head. Good value menu with well prepared dishes. We had the leek and pork sausages which were excellent. The onions which came with the mash had been caramelised to perfection and tasted deliciously sweet. Sticky toffee pudding made on the premises was light and moist. My wife said that the profiteroles were the best she had tasted.Good selection of beer. This is a quintessential English pub now added to our list

Beers well kept- food consistently excellent and a first class coffee - wish I lived a bit closer! Great Summer or winter - friendly

We visited for dinner on Thursday night, a night early for Valentine's due to other plans on Friday, and we weren't the only ones! The pub was busy with diners but the staff ere friendly and kept up well with orders. We enjoyed starters of squid & chorizo risotto and scallops with black pudding and pea puree, accompanied by lovely warm bread and butter, then my husband loved his rump of lamb with dauphonoise potatoes and my hake on a bean and chorizo stew was excellent. Courses were just the right size and we managed to find space for desserts too - for me a tasty Apple tart drizzled with caramel sauce and my husband had profiteroles. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Not been for a year or so but will be back!

We are buying a new home near to here and went to celebrate signing our commitment paperwork. The food was excellent, they will adapt for both Vegetarian and Vegans (I am full time Veggie and also flexiVegan if that make sense). They are also dog friendly and although we didn't have our dog with us we will be definitely taking her in the future. The staff were really friendly and good fun to be around. Rare for us to find a Michelin guide gastro pub that is so accommodating. My wife and I would thoroughly recommend paying them a visit.

Having driven past this pub several times I had always wanted to try it. We booked last minute and were able to get a table for the following evening. Right from when we arrived the service was impeccable. The staff incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We arrived 40mins before our table booking to enjoy some drinks in the bar then enjoyed delicious food in the restaurant. Food quality was super very very tasty.

The Chequers Inn is a small(ish) pub tucked out of the way in the Surrey countryside. On entering it looks quite basic and a little rustic but this hides the fact that the food they serve is of the highest quality for a pub-restaurant. In fact, their food would not look out of place in many more expensive places.

We dropped in for lunch on the way home and found that The Chequers Inn had improved since our last visit. A fire going in the bar, an improved menu with lighter lunch time type offers and some reasonable beer. Not Bad. Please note that it is advisable to book a table if you intend to eat.

A great visit, great service and food of a good standard. Will be back. A great British pub serving classic dishes with a slight twist. We were welcomed by the team and at no point felt abandoned. The food was yummy and clearly cooked fresh.

Comfortable but still lively atmosphere with a lovely restaurant area as well as bar and outdoor patio. Staff are always friendly and accommodating and the food is wonderful. Excellent pub to go to if you’re looking for something a little more up-market or for a treat :)

had a lovely lunch with friends and the food and service was excellent. The only problem on the day was that we found it a bit cold at the table we were seated at.

We chose the Chequers Inn for our staff Christmas dinner. They could not have been nicer, despite only being a small party the Christmas menu was made available to us. The staff were attentive through out the meal and the food was delicious.

I visited The Chequers Inn on Saturday 23rd November 2019 . I was there to have dinner with my girlfriend and to present her with a marriage proposal & surprise cake, And yes, she did say Yes!.

...others are after your crown.

Well, I’m glad I returned – everyone deserves a second chance and, anyway, I never got to eat last time; warm welcome on arrival on a slow-ish Monday night; the Chequers is everything a local (Gastro) pub should be with real fires, low beams and staff with interesting local knowledge backed up by a good selection of real ales and good selection of wines by the glass from a medium sized wine list; two menus, so plenty to choose from with added specials of the day; food was good, well thought out and served hot and with a smile – would like to return – recommended

I have eaten here twice now and been meaning to write a review as this is just such a great pub and they deserve the awesome feedback . The first time I ate in the more formal restaurant and then the second time in the bar area. Both times the food was exceptional and the service friendly and personal even when they are rushed off their feet! Book ahead to secure a table as it gets busy and you don’t want to miss out :)

Fabulous welcome, fabulous lunch. Have recommend to friends and hope to return. Will book next time!

We had a wonderful dinner and gorgeous wine in this beautiful old pub. The pub is a true piece of history and warm and cosy with fire places on a wet night! The standout was however, the wonderful front of house manager who was easy and interesting to talk to and helped us out with a taxi issue. Nothing was a drama for him, which is becoming a rare thing.

Don't forget to book. We live in Cranleigh and have always heard good reviews of The Chequers Inn over the years, and meeting friends from Horsham, it seemed an ideal halfway house. The four of us met here on a Saturday, but we hadn't booked. We were made to feel awkward about not having booked from start to finish. We found it quite amusing and ultimately ended up having a good laugh with our server. Most importantly, though, the food was fantastic as is the beer. I'd definitely recommend booking and giving it a try. Finally, don't forget to book!

Decided to visit having read very good reviews. Not easy to find but definitely worth it. We had smoked salmon and a terrine as starters. Pork belly, lamb, duck and pastry as mains. All delicious and excellent presentation. Very good quality. Can’t wait to go back.
