The Chequers Inn Bar & Restaurant in Harborough

We moved to Ullesthorpe recently,Have had a few pints of Pedigree here since arriving, and it’s always first class and beautifully kept.However today we popped in for coffee.We both had Cappuccino and it was lovely and frothy and creamy,We then Spotted breakfasts on the menu and weakened - ordered one each as wellFull English was egg, bacon, sausage, hash brown, tomato and beans. Served with toast.Lovely soft egg, nice warm plate and we ate the lot and loved it.And the price for the 2 breakfasts and 2 cappuccinos was an incredible £12.40!God knows how they do it at that price! But we will be back.

Went for some lunch here today with my partner for the eat out to help out scheme. Was very busy however still had no issues with experience. Food was lovely when it came out. The building is currently going through a massive refurbishment however that did not effect our visit to this pub and everything was still great. 10/10 would recommend.

The Chequers is simply an awful place to stay, I paid £79 for a night in which I was waiting for the morning to arrive. My first impressions on arrival were not good, the place was looking tired and had a large group of drunk very noisy people grouped unsocially close together near the entrance. We were shown to our room which was just about ok. On turning on the TV we found that there was no reception we then reported this to a lady on reception who didnt give a damn and said there was no reception as it was down to the aerial. She then said nothing could be done before she restarted cleaning a baby seat or high chair while we were talking to her. Whilst £79 is not a lot to pay for a hotel for a night, it is about double I'd expect to pay for a travelodge or premier inn. The difference in customer service levels being the other obvious difference. I am far from happy at the lack of tv, after a long drive I was looking forward to a relaxing night of tv viewing, but the pathetic level of customer service is absolutely disgusting. I am sure I will get the usual "sorry but we were very busy on that night, hope we can rely on your custom next time.... message and this was just a one off" I am livid and I expect to have a full explanation from Marston's, I dont think you deserve my hard earned money for such a lousy hotel and service.

We visited here for a family meal and found the atmosphere really good. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was lovely .

Been coming to the chequers since 1998 with my wife and kids always found the service and the staff polite and helpful and always an excellent meal.

I like to leave balanced reviews so firstly the food was good however the bar staff were rude when coming to pay... They chose to ignore me and served locals rather than taking my payment... A local at the bar even made comment to me to leave without paying... I paid cash as clearly they had a problem with non locals... Won’t go back and advise others to avoid this clicky pub ...!!!

May I say what a great Sunday lunch tried to get in two places but both fully booked our fault for not booking so phoned the above and got in and the guy who greeted us was extremely polite showed us to our table took our orders and the food arrived and it was good would be back again that’s for sure

My husband booked this hotel at short notice for one night in preparation for a car show the following day.I normally check Trip Advisor before arranging any accommodation but this time I left it up to him.Although it was acceptable, I think I should have checked beforehand...We arrived at around 5.30pm so the pub was quite full.We were shown to our room by a lovely gentleman, who explained that breakfast was served after 9am.The room itself was quite spacious, tea and coffee, and a fan ( it was more like a jet engine blowing off a puff of air )I did spot quite a few cobwebs There was a strong smell of damp/sewerage which didn’t go, even with the windows open ( being on a restricted latch didn’t help) The bed was comfy but the pillows were like bricks.The bathroom was very clean and they provided lovely towels and some toiletries.We had a meal downstairs at around 8.30pm-food was served until 9. Super fast service and really nice quality. We had a burger and a pizza which were both very delicious.We only had half a toilet roll haha so by the morning we needed extra- but the doors to reception were locked. I understand it’s a pub and not a hotel but it left us in a predicament, as we had already taken our car to the show grounds and taxis were very expensive. We left at 9.15am and at that point the doors were still locked so no breakfast. Overall it was an ok stay- the staff were great, food was good, but we probably wouldn’t stay here again

All 15 of us had a lovely 3 course Sunday lunch after playing golf locally. The host & staff were all excellent.

Visited with friends for a pre-booked evening meal and was very pleased with the food, the service, and the beer. This was our first ever visit and we were suitably impressed. It was a quiet night with few people dining, which we preferred as we could talk without lots of background noise. There was a wide selection of dishes and my mixed grill was delicious. Would have no hesitation in returning.

We have recently moved to the village, perfect local pub for us. We have visited a few times now and have never been disappointed.We ordered the pork and gammon burger and the Cajun salmon (both off the special board). Both were delicious, tasty & piping hot. Lots of great offers on throughout the week. I mean who wouldn’t turn down a fizz Friday let alone a fizz weekend! The staff work very hard and are prompt, polite, efficient and visible to seeGreat chilled atmosphere! Thank you all!

Decided on the spur of the moment to have an evening meal at The Chequers after walking to it from a village a couple of miles away. The new menu online looked good with plenty of choice and seemed good value for money. It was fairly busy for a Wednesday night and the barmaid was a bit flustered and was struggling on her own (not sure if she was new though). She didn't know how to put a code in on the till for a free drink, eventually three other people came to help sort it out. Ordered our meals OK and the diffferent lady that served us read back the order to us. One of which was the Pork and Gammon burger from the specials board, the other was the Lamb Kofta burger. According to the menu burgers are served with "lettuce, sliced tomato and homemade coleslaw". When our meals arrived it was on cold plates and there was no salad or coleslaw. The lamb koftas were supposed to be flavoured with rosemary and served with yoghurt and mint, the yoghurt had effectively cooked and curdled on the koftas within the tortilla warp so didn't taste very fresh and couldn't taste the rosemary in the lamb. Not sure what the other burger was that came out, we think it was pork from the colour, but there was no gammon with it, it had black pudding instead and again no salad or coleslaw. We were very disappointed, but couldn't be bothered to complain as we were hungry and didn't want to have to wait for everything to be re-done as we had to walk back to the other village before dark. On any other occasion I would have complained or refused to pay for it! We had been looking forward to this meal after returning from two week's holiday in Greece where admittedly we had been spoilt having been served fresh, simple, wholesome food cooked by family members with care and attention. Sadly, this doesn't seem to happen in English pubs, especially those run by chains such as Marstons, although it should not be difficult to serve what is actually described on the menu!

Wanted somewhere to go locally with a few friends for a evening chilling over a meal. Heard that there was a new menu so we thought we’d give it a go. (Over the last few years the pub has had several landlords) Pleased we did, staff were welcoming and helpful. Had a nice meal, they were happy to swap bits around. Good value too. Will go again. Noticed there were several events coming up including a monthly quiz. Nice to see the landlords are obviously making an effort.

Arrived here on Saturday night after making a booking for 4, we were told that there might be a smallwait as they were busy, fair enough I thought at least we had been warned.

We visited the restaurant a couple of times over the bank holiday weekend and had a very enjoyable experience on both occasions.

We visited this wonderful Inn to celebrate our frinds birthday. Managed to get the last available room which was cosy and comfortable. The evening was brilliant and the staff both on the evening and at breakfast were so friendly and helpful and the food was very good. If you are in the area check it out

We were looking for somewhere different to go for a evening meal & decided to try the chequers as we hadn't for many years as it had gone down hill. There is plenty of parking on site. It seems that the locals sit around the bar making it difficult to get to buy a drink as no one moved for us. We then found a table & looked at the extensive menu. A waitress then took our order, then a few minutes later came back & said that they had only one lot of Yorkshire puddings left, so we changed 1 of our meals, then the waitress was told by the chef that if we were happy waiting around 15 minutes we could have fresh Yorkshires, so we did that. The food came around the time said & was well presented & a good size portion. It was hot & tasted good & was very filling. The plates weren't very stable though.

Visited for lunch. Very quiet so no atmosphere. I had steak and salad and asked for medium cooked steak. It was dry and rather tasteless. My husband’s fish was dry. Other party members had starters which were good.

Dropped in on a Tuesday for lunch to see if it would be ok for a family get together and birthday meal later in the year. We just had main courses only, the food was fresh, hot, tasty and served quickly. The staff were friendly and even though I went to the bar to order the bar lady ‘kirsty’ I think offered to,come over and take our order. Great service and suitably impressed so much so that we made a decision there and then to book for our get together. Around 30 guests for our September booking which they were more than happy to cater for. Looking forward to it and sure I will be visiting again with my partner before then.

Came here on Saturday night with family, and what can I say. Since the new owners have taken over I will definitely be recommending. After having a bad experience previously, I thought I’d give The Chequers another try, and I’m glad I did. The place was thriving, and both the bar staff and waitresses coped well under pressure and still made sure we were well looked after. The food was also spot on. I will definitely be returning.

Had another spot on meal and great conversation with bar staff. Disagree with previous reviews and sounds totally unfair as staff are 99% good 99% of the time. Been eating and drinking here for 7 years and even though I was disappointed several years ago cannot complain for a few years now.

I have used a lot of Marstons pubs in the past, but not this one again !

Went there today for first time. All reviews seem very positive so thought we would give it a try. Plenty of seating and nice and warm . After waiting at least ten minutes never saw a member of staff anywhere. Not sure whether to order food at bar or waitress service as no numbers on table. Husband waited at least another 5 minutes at bar and yet again no staff. About another 10 customers in restaurant and nobody seemed to have food so decided to give it up as a bad job.

Wonderful pub, nothing is too much trouble & the food was delicious. We had lasagna & fish & chips which was served promptly & was piping hot - will be returning very soon :)

It was our Kurling group Christmas lunch today, all 26 of us. After I made our original booking, I'd heard that the managers were leaving....all a bit worrying, but I was assured when I went in to pay the deposits that new people were taking over and all would be good.

We booked into the room very last minuet and all was great, we had stayed here before and the rooms are perfectly fine. Was told to come down for breakfast at around 8:00am. Got downstairs in the morning and no one to be found except the lovely cleaner, who informed us that breakfast is over at 7:45 and everyone had already left!

We stayed here last weekend the food was amazing and the atmosphere was brilliant. The staff are very friendly and attended to our needs. The service we received was probably the best service we've received in a while. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for your service.

Long stay for business in the area. Very friendly and welcoming staff.excellent food served daily, rooms are clean, and characteristic. The managers are always wanting to help, from my understanding they are new to this pub although the way they fit into the area you wouldnt think it they lived there for a long time..

I stayed overnight at The Chequers Country Inn for the weekend and was thoroughly impressed from the moment I arrived. The pub has a fantastic atmosphere, full of friendly locals and staff. I ate in the restaurant for dinner and have to say I was shocked - as a vegan, eating out is not always easy, but I was genuinely surprised at the vast options available to me on the menu. The food arrived quickly and when it did I couldn't fault it, I had the veggie burger with jackfruit which came with onion rings and fries and I would recommend it to veggies and meat eaters alike! I also had a (vegan!!!) cheesecake for pudding, so grateful for the amount of thought and care taken in creating this menu to cater for everyone's dietary needs/preferences. I was really impressed with the staff, our food arrived very quickly given that we were in a large group and our waitress was lovely and very attentive.

We visited this pub a week or so ago and the staff are brilliant the atmosphere is great the locals are friendly and the food is high of standards, the hotel was lovely too, everything you needed for a good night sleep. Definitely will be staying here again.

We visited here as we were told it was under new management. I had the cottage pie which was fluffy mash potatoe and full of flavour.My friend ordered the ribeye steak which was seasoned and cooked to perfection.Its a Lovely,friendly pub and had a good section of cask ales.

Ate there last night. Ordered 2 meals which arrived 15 minutes apart with no reason given or aoplogy offered. The standard of the food also left a lot to be desired. "Hand Battered" fish and chips, the fish was watery and the batter dougley. And, of course, no-one passed by the table to ask how things were, so they obviously don't reaslly care. We left most of it and headed elsewhere. Won't be visiting again. There are plenty of better places in the area.

Love this place, such a professional, friendly place with staff who are always wanting to help. The locals are also really friendly. The managers are great, willing to help, professional, friendly and just lovely. The food is fantastic and the bedrooms are so characteristic.

We have eaten here many times, always been decent food. On this occasion however they excelled themselves we arrived early tea time and found an early bird menu. We both choose lasagne with garlic ciabatta and side salad. This lasagne was quite simply the best I ever tasted!! Delicious!! And only cost £10 for 2!! Also to note they have a vegan friendly menu and I have the chocolate and cherry cheesecake off this menu cos it sounded nice, it came with vegan ice cream... the cheesecake was lovely but maybe a bit dry probably as it's vegan lol but the vegan ice cream was blooming gorgeous! Well recommend!

Visited with my mum yesterday and both had the £13.45 Sunday roast deal. We were really impressed with the quality of the food and friendly and efficient staff. Really good value and great experience. Keep up the good work!

Long stay for myself for Business.very accommodation and friendly staff.the food is excellent.rooms are clean and tidy.

Relatives came from far away .. of 12 they were very slow and by the time everything was on table veg sauces ect food was cold .the roast beef was good by all accounts. my lamb was awful yuck !! Steak tough ..Lovely yorkshire puds tho . nice puddings although slow in offering and nearly didnt get any ..although a special menu included 2 couses for

I’m local to the area and invited friends over to stay for the weekend. We had purchased tickets for a 90s night that the local school had arranged! The disco was really good, bar staff very polite and rooms very cosy! Thank u chequers team! Xx

We returned today after having a lovely meal last week and decided to go back again. The meal was lovely but after finishing our meal we waited 30 minutes and still no one had come to clear our table. wanted to order puddings so I went to the bar and was told that someone would come to the table, we waited another 15 minutes and still no one came so we went to the bar to pay and explained what had happened and our response from the staff was “okay fair enough” not even an apology. We was planning on booking for Christmas dinner here for 10 people but won’t be going now.

Great friendly team work at the chequers. The rooms are clean and very comfortable size. menu has a very good selection. Fish & chips are tasty. The locals are very friendly if you fancy pint or game of pool. Good selection of beers. Great place to stay will be going back in few weeks. Can’t thank them enough all the best to a Great team. Jason king Southampton

Stayed there for a few months work related.

I stayed here around 18 months ago and left unimpressed. I revisited this week and found a vast improvement on my previous visit. The room i was staying in was a lot better than last time. Lovely modern bathroom and although the main room was only small it was ample for me to get my head down for the night. Food in the restaurant was excellent. I had the class burger which was one of the best burgers I have had for a long time. Prices very reasonable and other dishes that were being served looked equally as good. Breakfast was included which again was excellent. Only gripe was with the bar staff. After my meal I was sat at the bar with a few others watching the football on the tv yet we had to keep getting up and walking round the other side of the bar as there were no staff servicing the bar area near the tv. Only a small gripe but surely it would be better to have staff servicing both sides of the bar especially when there were a few customers in the tv side. Otherwise an enjoyable visit.

The Chequers is a reasonably large country pub and restaurant. It has a large car park and is well sited for customers living in Lutterworth, Ullesthorpe, Hinckley and elsewhere because of it's proximity to the A5/M69 and the M1, though our group were mostly staying locally.

Came here tonight as staying in a nearby hotel. We wanted a cute country pub, and we kind of got that. Staff were ever so friendly and charming, but not 100% on top game. The menu sounded really interested and we both chose off the specials menu - apparently an out of date specials menu as neither meal was available. Would have been really easy to avoid this situation by just making sure that the specials menu is not put on every table! The menu sounded quite exciting and interesting but didn't always deliver. The Pearl Ale and Marmite 'sauce' which we were, so intrigued by really wasn't a sauce at all, it was a meaty topping. Saying that, the steak was cooked really really well, portion sizes were generous and everything is so nearly in place for this to be a really cute place to spend a evening.

I stayed in the hotel for 4 nights. Very nice comfortable rooms with large bathroom facilities. Large car park with plenty of spaces. Staff very friendly and good atmosphere in the bar area.

Not much to stick in the memory about this restaurant.

Had a great meal friendly staff and great atmosphere lots for kids to do and the rooms are wonderful

What a great place we came by by accident as we're heading to the dirty dick but found our was closed

Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly people. Good choice of real ale beers. Food [ Steak] was tasty and exactly as ordered. Can not fault the place, would recommend.

Had quite a nice meal,was cooked well and very tasty,Staff were nice and polite,Had to wait nearly 50 mins for the food to appear though,pub wasnt busy,not many people eating,so dont know what the wait was.Also 2 foul mouthed men sitting at the bar,there language was loud and disgusting,their was a little boy with his dad eating his dinner sitting not two feet away,just what you dont want to hear with children.

Myself and a group of friends went here on Saturday 17th February for the ABBA tribute night and decided to have a meal. The food was excellent, the bar staff and waitresses were very polite and helpful. Thanks to Gail and staff for a fantastic night. Will definitely be going again

I often eat here and have often brought friends along with me too! I am quite a fussy eater and it never seems too much for the chefs to cook me something up that I'll enjoy! Definitely worth a visit xx

My wife and I have lived in the area for many years and have seen this restaurant change hands many times with many refits and closures. We were recently informed that the chequers has improved recently so decided to give it another try. On entering...

If you're after good food and a peaceful relaxing stay, go somewhere else. The food was burnt yet cold and swimming in cold foul grease. The beer was weak and watery with an aroma of a public toilet. Every conversation in the bar area can be clearly heard in the bedrooms - you might as well get a blanket and sleep in the bar. Dreadful, don't go there.

My family and I have visited the chequers several times. The food is really lovely and portion sizes of Sunday lunch is generous. We held our sons 2nd birthday party here in the function room and everyone had a great time. The staff are friendly, helpful and very welcoming, will definitely continue to visit.

Had a ham sandwich and chips, partner had fish and chips, far too much batter on the fish but otherwise ok. Such a pity when a pub has a fire but doesn't turn it on, it makes it look so much more welcoming!

We recently attended for a family birthday...food was great and nothing was too much trouble...great team see you soon x

Stayed here recently, very happy with my stay, clean rooms and great food. Excellent customer service, especially from Allie who was polite, pleasant and always happy to help. Definitely stay here again

Great food, drink and accommodation. Had a family gathering so multiple meals and rooms booked. All great.

Had an amazing dinner with 8 in our group. Stayed a night 2 rooms both very clean and comfortable would definitely go again

I visited The Chequers with friends on New years eve, atmosphere was fantastic and drinks very reasonably priced and a great selection of gin! Staff were all very helpful and friendly and I'll definitely return soon!

Five of us out on a mid week walk. 2 pints each and a meal. Four of us went for the two for one offer. That's £4.25 a meal. We had Fish and Chips, Sausage and Mash and two spicy chicken breast. Plus one meal off of the other part of the menu. Meals arrived in about 20 mins. All very happy with the food and the beer so great value. Nice traditional feel to the place with pleasant service. Just a few other customers in. Didn't consider other meal times so can't comment on the full menu and prices. I noticed the Christmas meal (Not served Christmas day) was about £12.

I Came here for a short visit . The staff are friendly and helpful I ordered serlion it was cooked just how I liked it the chips we're crisp and fluffy I was served by a lovely waitress called Lilly she was really friendly and recommended a nice red wine that would accompany my steak. Which I must say it was a good choice . They had a duet on that night and the whole pub had a good vibe . My bed room was cosy warm and spotless. Had a very pleasant sleep. The breakfast was spot on with locally supplied sausage and bacon and free range eggs . I would highly recommend this pub . Thank you gail and the team . I will be back .

I have stayed here a few times the rooms are very clean, the staff are extremely helpful and pleasant and the food is excellent, the menu is vast with different themes every night. If you can’t find something you like to eat you never will.

We visited later on Sunday evening, my first time but my girlfriend has visited many times and i can honestly say that I'm glad I listened to her as the meal was excellent.She had the full roast beef Sunday dinner which was amazing, but I fancied something a bit different so went for the mini pies platter, I'm glad I did as all three pies were cooked to perfection.Whilst the plate wasn't over flowing with food like someplaces it was all perfect.Staff were all friendly and the place had a nice feeling about it, definitely will visit again, even thinking of going for a Christmas party there.Also went for the strawberry and clotted cream tower pudding, one word.......AWESOME

Really good choice of food and really enjoyed it. Will be coming again in the week as they have some good deals on too.

Visited for Friday lunch. Chose this pub because of one member of party needing gluten free. Large menu choice. Service slow and long wait between main course and puddings. Food very good and pleasant atmosphere. Would visit again.

Average pub food. Pleasant staff. Plenty of space in the pub and ample parking. Accomadation if required.

Lovely country pub. The food was very good in particular the curry. Desserts are great. Difficult to choose which one!

My family, friends and myself always choose The Chequers when eating or drinking out, great food, great drink, and great staff! Happy Visit every time!

We stayed a local hotel for a week. Visited this Inn on Saturday 22nd July there were 6 adults and my 3 year old grandson. The staff were amazing, the food was good and so was the service considering they were busy. All of the staff made a fuss of our grandson. Nothing was to much bother. So we decided to book for the Sunday night and we received the same service so we booked for the rest of the week. However on our last night it was different staff. We found them brusque especially the auburn haired girl not rude but not friendly. They got our orders wrong more than once. We thought we had visited a different place!!! It was our last night and we were extremely disappointed, if this had been our first night we would definitely would not have visited again. What a shame as the other staff were absolutely fab!

I used to be a regular years ago, when I worked in Lutterworth. Excellent food was a given. We called in Sunday afternoon for a drink and decided we would stop for Roast Beef late lunch.This was a mistake. The meal was not awful, far from it, but it was poor given the price you pay. The beef was tough, the gravy could have had more flavour and the roast potatoes were beginning to show their age.I understand that it is difficult keeping food hot and in good condition with the extending hours on offer, but this is the challenge restaurants face.The staff though were excellent, polite, helpful and not intrusive. Full marks there.Personally, I preferred the old decor when it had the timbered black beams on white, but I suppose someone will tell me that times have changed.

Friendly and welcoming, the food was lovely, certainly get plenty , we shall def' be going back again..

EWe had been to Palmers Garden Centre and wanted lunch, this wasn't the pub we planned to go to, went there and moved on, and I'm glad we did. It was only 12 o'clock, so lovely and quiet on a very warm Wednesday. Friendly welcome, the server and the young lady behind the bar were exceptionally pleasant. Usual pub fare - we had scampi, chips and peas - I loathe peas but couldn't be bothered to ask for something else. I saw other orders - Lasagne and poached salmon which looked very tasty. We were served very quickly, but there were only six in the pub, by the time we left it was busier. The food was hot, well - presented and tasted good. The beer was nicely chilled with a reasonable choice and we even had dessert, unusual for us at lunchtime, but they 'read well' on the menu and came up to expectations. It is a pleasant atmosphere, not too many tables crammed in, toilets were spotless and the staff were attentive. We will go back again, I only wish it were nearer to where I live.

Would recommend staying here if you are visiting the surrounding area. I was allocated a double room, which was very comfortable. There was hot drink facilities in the room. The bathroom contained toiletries and the towels were lovely and soft The cooked breakfast on Saturday morning was delicious. On Sunday had a continental breakfast as there were lots of guests. Again, this was very nice. I had forgotten to take a hairdryer but no problem as they keep a couple spare. Gail, the manager was very attentive and I wish her continued success at the Chequers. Would definitely recommend.

Out for a drive and Stopped off here for lunch, we had the fish and chips, all very nice, pleasant staff and nice pub.

The Chequers was our choice for the first time today.We had heard good reports.Nice large table in very pleasant surroundings.Very attentive waiter who was available at just the right moments.Fine selection of dishes on a no nonsense menu.Superb dishes of generous portions.The scampi was well received as was the excellent haddock and chips.FIne mushy peas too.The salads were varied and mixed generously.Excellent chunky chips.two of us had desserts and the sticky toffee pudding proved delicious.

We stayed here on 1st April to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary with lots of family and friends and enjoyed every minute. Food was very nice (best medium rare steak I've ever had), no complaints whatsoever.We found staff polite,helpful and efficient.Rooms were a bit basic,but comfortable,however it was very warm inside and could really do with air conditioning.Served a very nice full English breakfast next morning too.Over all we were satisfied with our stay and would stay again.

Service was good, mostly because there were more staff than customers. My husband and I both ordered a mixed grill. I asked for something instead of sausage. I was offered more chips or onion rings. I opted for the sausage, willing to try it! Despite my diet and having a jacket potato instead of chips. The food arrived and looked paltry on the plate, but was as described in the menu. The sausage however was awful, the cheapest nastiest catering bulk pack sausage ever, and I'm not adverse to a cheap banger! The chicken was well cooked, the steak perfectly rare. The gammon was ok. In all we went, we ate and we won't return. A much better mixed grill is on offer down the road!

Held my sons 5th birthday party here yesterday. Had a fantastic time here, the function room was set up with a brilliant range of inflatables for the children to play with and accomadated for the different age ranges too. The food was a good spread, children and adults enjoyed it, thank you to the chef. All the staff are friendly and welcoming, with quick service and always with a smile. A big thank you to Gail and Hayley for organising yesterday. Would definately recommend

This pub offers what I can only call bog standard pub food, great selection, but quality lacking, needs to step up its game as there are so many better restaurant sin the area

Familiarity breeds contempt!! As a family we would eat at the Chequers regularly once a week and on occasion up to three times a week - feeling it important to support local businesses. We will often go out as a party of 5 and take advantage of the 2 for 1 meal option (meaning we had to 'bank' one meal). This we have done many times. On the last occasion we were unable to go the following week as our daughter was very ill. Upon re-visiting the venue - the Manageress Gail - walked to our table and extremely rudley informed us that the meal had to be used within a week - her manner was unbelievable antagonistic and rude to customers that have spent a small fortune in her venue! We explained that we had never been told this on the number of occasions we had been before - she replied that the staff should have informed us (even though it was her that served us!). We could not believe the rudeness and hostility - do not spend your money here - it will not be appreciated.

Stayed here for one night whilst in the area on business.I was allocated a room which can only be described as a box room.No wardrobe to hang my clothes and only a small fan heater to keep warm.No hot water from the shower due to problems with the water pressure.The bathroom ceiling was full of cobwebs like it hadnt been cleaned for a while.The walls are super thin so i could hear next doors tv on until the early hours.The food downstairs was pretty good.A nice curry and a drink on offer for around £8.Let down by the accomodation.

I organised a birthday party for my wife last June and I was delighted with how everything went the food was superb. So me and my wife went last month for a 2 for 1 lunch time meal I had home made burger and it was one of the best that I have had in a long time, my wife had a lasagne with side salad which had very good selection. Very good parking friendly staff.

We dined here for Lunch a couple weeks ago. The lady who served us was friendly, Albiet looking a bit bored due to there being nobody else to serve. Although the food was reasonable, the actual place was cold and had no music playing. I think with a bit of atmosphere this place could do well.

well worth trying,good home made food,well presented,quick waitress service,in a nice village area.good choice of wine/beer,and reasonably priced.

The stay was cheap, and a good evening meal that was very good value led me into a false sense of security. The evening staff, so attentive, put us down for breakfast at 9.30 instead of 8.45 as requested so I had to phone the bar to be let in! The room needed vacuuming, was basic as expected but not even a hook for my coat. The shower head was broken and it took 20 minutes for hot water to come through. When it did the broken head left me with a single dribble in the middle. Breakfast was a full English. No cereal, no fruit juice but plenty of tea and toast. After the great meal last night I didn't expect tinned tomatoes... so it was cheap but could do better for little or no extra cost. .

Myself and a work stayed her whilst working in Lutterworth for the week. The pub looked OK on the outside, but wasn't blown away. But was nicely welcomed by the young girl behind the bar. Each of our rooms was, clean, well presented and quite spacious. Though with us both being in a room above the bar, it was a little noisy up until about 11pm. But thankfully it was only a problem on 1 maybe 2 of then nights. The landlady was pleasant and welcoming. The food was very good, the lamb stew I had on the first night was spot on and the steak on the second night was cooked to perfection (rare). I fell on love with the sweet potato fries.. Would highly recommend them. Also, the breakfast was very nice, a little on the small side, but hey I was being done a favour by that. Not to forget the ale, the Boon Doggle was a nice sup. Overall, I would recommend this as a place to eat and stay. We both said we'd stay again, the next time we go to work 8n Lutterworth. Thanks to all the staff at The Chequers!

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The staff were efficient and friendly and the food was fabulous. Very reasonably priced too - we will be back.

We held our daughter's 21st party here in the function room, I would like to say a big thank you to Gail and her staff, they made it incredibly easy for us to set up the room in the day etc. The buffet was lovely and we had lots of comments of how good the food was. Several of our guests stayed overnight at the pub and said the breakfast and rooms were lovely.

Our village walking group stopped halfway for pre-ordered lunchtime food.Considering there were thirteen of us (and two dogs) we were served quite quickly - many options on the menu and, depending upon what you ordered, the portion sizes differed.One of our group inadvertently ordered a dessert not on the menu and, although there was a little delay, this too was served up. Possibly suggest not to do this intentionally(...)The car park as generous as I remember. The bar looks well stocked. The public bar / games room gives a traditional feel to the place - something which is fast disappearing in this country.The staff were friendly and able to cope even with a couple of particular members in our group.Certainly worth visiting/re-visiting - as a smaller group - to see what else they offer at different times on different days.

Went to a wedding reception here. The food was decent enough. Bar is sensibly priced e.g. For wine at £3.80 a glass. Friendly staff.

We recently had our wedding reception at The Chequers Inn and the food and staff were fantastic. The room was great, the food was great, everyone said it was a lovely venue with great food. So happy we chose The Chequers, cannot recommend the place enough. Thank you

Stayed the night, lovely clean and cosy rooms, bed extremely comfortable with a full English breakfast in the morning with plenty of coffee refills. Will definately be back!!

It has a warm comforting feel to it, the staff are attentive and friendly. Food is excellent, never been disappointed, puddings are generous, just ask if you need anything extra and its yours. We call in after work most weeks, and soon to move into the area, so hope the trips are far more frequent!
