The Chequers Inn Restaurant in South Kesteven

Best pub in the area. Fantastic food and service everything about the place is top notch. Stunning location for winter and summer

We had Sunday lunch to celebrate two family 60th birthdays. The meal was superb, plenty of variety, the staff friendly and cheerful, and the service was prompt. The Chequers location is in a beautiful location and, in the Summer, there is the option to dine outside in the gardens. Can't wait to visit again.

We arrived at opening time (12pm) as a midpoint on a hike. The pub is very pretty inside and has a good menu. It took until 12.40 for food to arrive to the table but they were generous portions and very tasty (fish and chips; sausage and mash).

The staff are lovely and so is the pub - but the food was very disappointing - packet gnocchi that was undercooked and hard served with a fairly tasteless overly creamy sauce - followed by a cold portion of sticky toffee pudding - sadly will not be rushing back .

To me there is no point in having 5⭐️ food if the service doesn't match. Dining out is the whole experience. Here the service matches the food. We've been dining here for 20 years now and there is a reason for that. The quality of the food is exceptional. As usual it was my wife, 14 year old daughter and myself. Fantastic evening. I had gin cured salmon for starter with rocket salad and beetroot ketchup. It was amazing & we all loved it. Mains for me was a generous piece of cod with new potatoes and a selection of perfectly cooked green vegetables. We had set a rule with our daughter of two courses, but I couldn't have managed a third anyway. My family also loved their meals. The service was not only impeccable but friendly and warm. I don't know how the owners always find such lovely people. They always go above and beyond. I don't want to detract from the great service of every single person on the evening but want to give special thanks to Niamh & Charlie who were fantastic. They made our evening special and enjoyable. They made it such a fun night and made it great. My daughter was made to feel special and I also had great talks with Charlie about wine. If you need guidance on wine choice, ask for Charlie.

Excellent choices on the menu...staff very helpful and friendly..my husband and I stayed overnight in one of the rooms across the car park ....also excellant..breakfast was delicious...freshly cooked..wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when in the area

The chequers is our favourite place in the vale . Staff are friendly and professional and the food is great . Food selection of beers . Can't fault it

As always it is a delight to dine at this pub/restaurant. Beautifully set in a lovely village, with great views of nearby Belvoir Castle when driving there. The menu has a sensible range of options, across the starters, mains and puddings, with good draught beers/lagers, wine and cocktail options. The cheese soufflé is always excellent, light and tasty. The steaks, whether rib-eye or the flat-iron are properly cooked and of good quality. Their fish and chips is clearly (and rightly so) a very popular dish. A good kitchen and talented chef (s). The bar and room lay-out means that even when full (as it often is) you never feel cramped and there is plenty of space between the tables. Really pleasant, local young staff who work hard to please.

We’re long time visitors to The Chequers and although it had been a few months, everything was just as spot on as ever. The rib Chateaubriand was still as good as always, cooked to perfection and the homemade sauce and special request gravy, were beautiful. A fab dinner, in a great atmosphere with lovely attentive staff. It remains our favourite pub. Thank you for having us.

The Chequers Inn, Grantham is a fantastic restaurant with a well thought out menu using only the freshest of local produce beautifully prepared and presented. Clearly there are top kitchen staff behind the scenes who have a real passion for what they do. There is a lovely atmosphere about the place. Take the the fine food, a well thought out wine list with fines wines, add in the excellent service and you have what is a memorable dining experience.

A beautiful place at the foot of Belvoir castle with dining rooms all divided with character for different ambience. We stopped off for lunch and all 3 meals were so delicious and perfectly prepared. Even a surprise brownie with a candle for my father's birthday as they noticed his birthday boy badge. 100% returning!

We had their homemade shortcrust pie and it was delicious! Service was great. Setting was special. We are going again before we leave the area and are looking forward to another excellent meal.

Wonderful food, atmosphere, staff and locals. Had roast sirloin of beef, cooked medium rare with all the trimmings with a large piece of sticky toffee pudding to finish. (So light and tasty). Lovely selection of beers at the bar, dog friendly and very busy with locals. So nice to see a great local pub serving excellent food.

5/5 for amazing service , food and surroundings. The prices on the menu are really competitive and the food portions more than ample. We have visited several times and the Restaurant never fails to deliver. Definitely one to try if you haven’t already.

Three of us chose the cheese soufflé to start with. Two were adequate one was burnt and was returned. The replacement was a rush job and very poor. One of us chose the gnocchi with spring vegetables. Generally, it was very tasty, but there was a large proportion of asparagus stems that were totally inedible. We had been recommended this pub and had high expectations. We were very disappointed. The ambience was lovely and the staff were pleasant, but the food certainly didn’t live up to the recommendation. Won’t go back again..

We were a large group and all enjoyed our meals. I had lamb which was tender and delicious, followed by creme brulee with rhubarb. My only criticism would be small portions in relation to the price.

We just cannot fault the place in quality of accommodation (dog friendly), food, service and staff smiles and attentiveness. We had a 2 night stay with breakfast and evening meals. The food was imaginative, well presented and thought out with great flavour and detail. Sunday was HEAVING and thankfully (for us) quietened off on Monday but service was equally high. There are only 4 rooms to stay but soooo tastefully decorated in such a small but not cramped space. I also love it that a sign outside states that dogs are welcome, but children must be well behaved. Class. One more thing - costs were not only reasonable but better than we expected. We were going to give special mentions to staff who were 'over and above' but they all were. Belvoir on the Leics, Notts, Lincs border is a slice of what we all would like to think of as England at it's rural best.

We don't get to go out much so want to go somewhere we can be certain will be good. Our next door neighbour recommended somewhere else locally that they said was great, which we considered for a change, but looked at some of the reviews, and whilst good some didn't suit our family situation. Came back to the Chequers where we feel at home. Yet again had a fantastic evening. Dined early and left by 19:30 which was what we wanted. Food was awesome, every course for all of us. My pork belly main was excellent, don't think you could get better anywhere else. I normally have the steak which is getting a bit big for me now, and doesn't leave enough room for drink after, so not a complaint! I had fish last time which was equally great. My wife and daughter loved their courses. Wine choice and quality great. Ranges from budget to reasonably high end. All good well researched wines. A big part of the experience for me is the quality of service, which was excellent, and friendly. Felt valued and welcomed. Quite young serving staff, who were very professional, polite and friendly. Gives you faith in the young people of today! Can't see a reason to dine anywhere else.

Delicious. Staff are personable, helpful and give concise recommendations whilst also attending to dietary requirements. The non alcoholic cocktails are delicious (as are the alcoholic ones!). Gutted that we had to leave without dessert due to the smallest member of the party falling asleep. Would absolutely visit again and can imagine in the summer the garden space is well used. Very reasonably priced too.

Haven't been for a little while. Felt like coming home to family. My little girl likes to feel grown up and does things like say who we are and when we are booked in, do the orders etc. The owners (who we have known for many years) and all of the staff are fabulous with her, even staff we have not met before, clearly the family values and principles of good service and customer enjoyment flow through all the staff. Very patient with her, and really make her evening, which makes mine. The service all round is second to none. The same goes for the food. I managed to break away from my norm of steak for main course, difficult because it is always great and I like my red wine, but it did leave me room for dessert! I had scallops for starter, large, cooked perfectly and with a great sauce. Main course I had the cod with spinach, fondant potato and leeks. Superb. All went very well with an excellent Sancerre. The wine list is comprehensive, with good quality wines at all price points. Excellent experience all round. Unlike some other places you really feel all of the staff really want you to have a good time and it is important to them, not just a job, and they really strive to do the best that they can do to ensure you have a great experience. So refreshing these days, especially in relation to the younger staff where perhaps you might not expect such an excellent work ethic. Well done all round.

My wife had planned a night away for my birthday and enquired as to whether they would be able to get Beef Wellington in, as we had our wedding there and Wellington was our choice then. They were able to get it for us and it was better than we remembered. The service was exceptional and as it was my birthday they even brought us out a small brownie decorated to say happy birthday. Definitely recommend 100%

Booked over 2 weeks ago however turned and you could tell weren't actually expected. Waited 30 minutes for our table which was being relaid. Waited a further 20 minutes for someone to take our order. We had 2 vegetarian but no Nut Roast,. One diner had the veggie sausages the other had just veg and Yorkshire pudding. The lunch was warm at best, we were then charged 15.95 for the plate of veg and Yorkshire pudding (one carrot, broccoli, 3 roast potatoes, small spoonful red cabbage and Kale) the bill was wrong and had to be amended. The service overall was unfriendly and underwhelming. Would not return

Excellent food, excellent and friendly service and great ambiance. From the booking, to arrival and the service, my guests and I had a lovely birthday evening. We will be back.

Had previously been rather impressed with the cooking and left a positive review here before. However several dinners eaten here over the Xmas period left a lot to be desired on the food front. We assumed it was due to the busy Xmas season and the demands on the kitchen. . However lunch today during much quieter January and the food is just really average. Liver parfait looks like cat food and risotto that seems as if it's straight out of a packet. Where has the chef gone? Disappointing.

Came here for dinner, hadn't been for about 9 months. Got a drink at the bar then seated in the snug to the left round the back. Felt a little bit " left out" and although there were other people there, it took 20mins for our order to be taken! Not a good start I thought, but from then everything was fine. The scallops to start were perfectly cooked and I had the southern friend chicken burger which had a delicious bbq sauce, more of that please. All washed down with a bottle of Albarinho.

There's some seriously good cooking going on in this kitchen right now. We had the mussels, pheasant and a burger and all were superlative. I've been coming here on and off for thirty years and can honestly say the foods never been better. Wonderful meal.

Wonderful pub, staff were all super friendly and helpful, with a welcoming smile as soon as we arrived. I was very impressed with the menu options and when it arrived it did not disappoint! The food was so good we even enjoyed a dessert which again was scrumptious! There are various dining areas and all are clean, warm and offer a really relaxing place to eat. We will definitely return and recommend.

Food is always delicious here. We bring friends every time they visit the area as they love it now too! Service great and staff very kind and helpful!

We are regulars to the Chequers for a nice dinner out or a special occasion and have always had a fabulous meal here. The place is an interesting rabbit warren of rooms and a lovely snug bar with an open fire, plus lots of outside space in the garden. The sharing steak is always beautifully cooked (actually we like it very rare which they achieve every time) and the accompaniments are lovely. It’s a lovely treat having dinner at the Chequers. The wine list and excellent draft beers are extensive, plus if you wish to stay over, the rooms with a lovely breakfast are very nicely designed. It has a warm atmosphere and the staff are great. Keep up the excellent standards please, as we love it!

Lovely little pub restaurant less than 2 miles from Belvoir Castle, so very convenient to get something to eat after a trip there. Would recommend booking ahead as, even though there were only two of us on a Monday lunchtime, they were uncertain if they would be able to fit us in. Service was a touch slower than would have been ideal but the food was delicious and prices about what you'd expect.

Lovely old fashioned pub/restaurant with excellent rooms to stay overnight. Service at bar and for meals is excellent. I stayed in the upstairs room which is decorated beautifully with an enormous bathroom with a large bath and walk-in shower. The price of the room is very modest and a fraction of what I paid recently in the USA for accommodation very inferior. I met a friend for dinner and the food was excellent. I will go again.

Having tickets for the Fireworks competition at Belvoir Castle, we wanted to eat somewhere convenient before we could go into the park. The Chequers couldn’t have been any more convenient being 5 minutes away. There’s acres of grass parking at the rear of the pub with plenty of bench / table seating both on the grass and at the side of the pub. There was a wedding at the opposite side of the pub from the entrance and we did consider that this might impact the serving of food. When we sat down and both ordered gluten free fish and chips, it was evident that the catering side wasn’t in any way compromised by the need to deal with the wedding party as our food came quickly. The cider battered fish was moist and the batter thin and crispy; delicious. The restaurant rooms inside were small and cosy and this is what you think a local should look like, only wish it was ours.

We ended up here on the advice of one of the guides at Belvoir castle - turns out he’s the manager’s dad! Food was wholesome and well cooked and the wine was cold. Service was a bit slow but worth the wait. Would definitely recommend the short drive compared to the Engine Yard tourist trap opposite the castle car park. Heaps of outside seating to enjoy the sunshine.

Had the pleasure of spending a wonderful afternoon/evening in this great country pub. Staff really pleasant and attentive and had the most amazing Steak and Ale Pie. Would Recommend a visit if your in the area

Wish this was my local! We picked this as a good meeting place for a family lunch, between Beverley and Cambridge. We weren’t disappointed. Lovely setting, near Belvoir Castle. Lots of dining spaces and garden tables, plus greenness all around. Good menu choice. Service was...

We stayed for 3 nights here. Spacious room comfortable bed. Only cooked breakfast (porridge available) automatically provided. When asked for any cereal provided just nutty cornflakes.

Very slow service , had to go and find staff to asked for them to take our order. ,lot less on plate as been before and much more then .still needed more food ,prices seemed a lot high for what you got on plate

This is so much more than a country pub, it is a wonderful venue for a wedding, party and somewhere to stay for a weekend break. I booked a room for my partner's birthday. This was the perfect break in a beautiful little village with...

We booked at table here last minute to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff were very friendly. Food was excellent and came quickly. Good choice of options. This one of the nicest meals we have ever had. We’ll definitely be back.

Very disappointed with the service. Booked a table for 7pm 6 adults and 4 children Some had starters some didn’t It was 9 pm before mains were served. We had asked if they could be served first. There was a wedding on but too much...

We decided to revisit the Chequers Inn for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. All of the courses were delicious and of a high standard. The staff were excellent in all respects and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed.

The Chequers Inn keeps going from strength to strength, despite all of the challenges facing the hospitality sector. Their updated 'Spring Menu' - while retaining many of our long time favourite dishes - now has several interesting and tasty additions. The standard of the food,...

Live locally and had friends come to stay so decided to book a table for an evening meal. First time eating here. I have to say it was wonderful from start to finish. Our waiter was extremely personable and he suggested wine to complement our...

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime and sadly disappointed overall with our experience. No issues with the staff and service was courteous. I was told the homemade pie was chicken and leek but I was served chicken and mushroom, thankfully I was happy with this. Unfortunately...

Met up with friends at this lovely country pub. Really warm welcome and a nice fire helped us settle in quickly. Wide menu but today we were only looking for main courses. All four of us went for the shortcrust pie of the day: steak...

Friendly, welcoming service, and the food was tasty. Only negative was the focaccia to share, which was a little small for the money. Will return.

We have eaten here many times over the years and have never been disappointed. This time we came on Monday night , and were delighted to see the place really busy on what would be a quiet night in many restaurants, if indeed they were...

After a long walk we chose to drop into this pub. We never tried the food as staff stated they were full. The pub itself is a nice setting and was very busy for what is a small village. The food looked and smelt nice...

The car park is huge and lots of free parking areas available. The decor is exquisite. A very warm welcome also awaits by the polite and friendly Staff, along with the Management. The menu is vast and has everything and more. The French Onion Soup,...

Easy booking on line, however a large party meant carparking was difficult and inconsiderate parking caused a number of issues getting to the main carpark at the rear. Building was lovely and greeted with a warm welcome. Dining with two young children we asked for...

Absolutely lovely setting we were greeted by a roaring fire and very friendly staff. We sat in the bar area which was decorated beautifully for Christmas. We had a fantastic two course meal which was delicious. Even though the pub was busy the service was...

I booked a table for three, after looking at many reviews of places for lunch @ Belvoir Castle. We were not disappointed.. Such a beautiful place- we were seated in the old bakehouse, with a roaring log burner- perfect on a wet, miserable day. The...

Lovely Inn. Great food. Varied menu. Beautiful setting. Great service. Thoroughly recommend. We have been to the Chequers many times even though there are good country pubs closer. It never disappoints and is equally lovely in the summer or winter

Consistently top notch. Had the pigeon starter with puy lentils and plums, as did my 12 year old daughter. Really good. Normally steer away from fruit and meat (for example gammon egg and chips, never pineapple!!), but this really worked. Wife's cheese soufflé was exceptional....

We had delicious food and drink here with excellent service. The double baked goat cheese soufflé was wonderful

A massive thank you to Jo, Alice and all the team at the Chequers for such a lovely evening. From the moment we set foot into the Chequers until the moment we left we were looked after superbly. Delicious food, attentive staff and super friendly....

Visited for the first time for a family celebration meal. The food is lovely everyone enjoyed what they had ordered, nice and hot and tasted lovely. Nice friendly staff, lovely restaurant area. Would definitely visit again. There is also a nice seating area outside.

We stayed for three nights to explore the area, we had picked Chequers as it served food Sunday and Monday evenings and it was a good decision.We stayed in Juniper, nice room, only negative was the lack of storage/ places to put your things. Room...

Very much enjoyed staying here for my youngest daughter's Wedding. I felt that the Wedding breakfast was extremely good and that the pub was well staffed and very attentive at all times of a long day. The room was delightful. A slightly bizarre aspect was...

Stayed here 15th August 2022 . Absolutely amazing. Our suite was out of this world, with a king size bed, and lovely white linen. Beautiful shower and lovely toiletries. Hospitality tray had various tea bags and coffee bags in kilner jars, filtered water, and homemade...

Chequers never disappoints, I had a delicious lobster for my main course and my partner had sea bass, which she said was the best she ever had, the desserts were delicious also. Efficient and friendly service as usual. Will be back soon.

We have eaten many times at this restaurant everyone has been exceptional. So when family were coming for the weekend didn’t hesitate to book for Sunday lunch. How disappointed we were. The starters chicken liver parfait was bland but the scollops and arancini was lovely....

Popped in for Sunday lunch. Wish we had not bothered. Seemed to be plenty of people there which we thought was a good sign. Ordered. Starters were ok. Nothing special but edible. For main I ordered the beef which I have to say was tasty....

Another lovely meal at this fabulous pub/restaurant. Service was really good as was the food. Looking forward to our next visit.

Absolutely fabulous experience. The food was superb. Went for my wife's birthday with my little girl and we had a great time. Wife had double baked goats cheese soufflé starter which was excellent. I had smoked mackerel with horseradish and salad. Went great with a...

Really nice food - normal but done properly. Staff were very attentive. Only negative would be that drinks were very very expensive!!

My friend and I ate at Chequers yesterday evening. The food was lovely as was the restaurant. The waiting staff were courteous and efficient, especially Leah who was lovely! The only thing that tarnished our visit was the owner who was extremely rude when I...

We dined at the Chequers with our daughters last night and everything as always was fantastic. Food always cooked to perfection, and plenty of it and I love the buzzy atmosphere in the bar, you always bump in to somebody that you haven't seen for...

We stumbled across this delightful country pub whilst staying nearby, we stopped and sat outside for a drink then returned two evenings later for a meal. The food was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for my rather picky vegetarian husband, the staff were friendly...

Good food. Overrun with a wedding. Shared a table in front of the bar. Very poor choice overrun with wedding guests and a couple only consuming drinks took over the whole atmosphere. Various times I couldn't hear my own voice.

I went to The Chequers Inn for my birthday. Have been here several times before and liked it but very disappointed last night - all the portion sizes seems to have shrunk. Shared antipasti to start - tasted OK but one piece of bread and...

My son and his partner’s wedding was held here yesterday and the staff did all they could to ensure the day was perfect. They thought of everything and as a result it was more than we could have hoped for. Thank you to each and...

Second visit here and absolutely fantastic. Lovely setting, superb service and fabulous food. Keep up the good work and will definitely be back. Thank you

One word could suffice. Perfection. If you want to go somewhere you can guarantee won't disappoint and will give you an unbeatable dining experience you should come here. Been here tonight with my wife and young daughter for an early evening meal. From the moment...

our usual haunt for the family outing ,never fails food or staff wise .There is a great atmosphere wherever you eat , a lovely garden area .

Our first visit to the Chequers today. Just wanted a really nice lunch as travelling north and we were not disappointed. A beautiful pub, very pleasant staff and superb food. The menu had plenty of choices so something for everybody. Beautifully presented, piping hot and...

We went for my birthday as it was a gastro pub, Sadly most people were eating fish and chips and burger and chips, which should have been a warning to me. Are pigeon was lacking in seasoning and quite raw in center. The belly pork...

Delicious food in a cosy setting! We came for an evening family meal to celebrate a birthday. The slow roast pork belly was absolutely first class for taste and presentation. Lovely food for children too!

A fabulous country inn serving amazing food with a warm and friendly welcome. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely village location, on site parking and a very warm welcome from the staff. The pub is very characterful, two open lit log fires both times when we visited for lunch. Different rooms available to cater for family occasions/private dining and the open restaurant/tables are...

A relaxed and comfortable pub restaurant which serves very tasty food at quite reasonable prices. Service was relaxed, as were the guests, I don’t like it if restaurants are too POSH, what I want is good food at good prices and this was exactly what...

6 of us enjoyed a tasty lunch. Good menu with wide range of starters , mains and desserts. Our table was well spaced and near to the fire. Food was delicious, well presented, hot and tasty. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Nice atmosphere

Exceptional food Beautiful coextensive wine menu I cannot find fault at all An amazing experience Staff went the extra mile to ensue my daughter’s birthday lunch was amazing

Lovely atmospheric inn with log fires in a village close to Belvoir Castle. Food was outstanding and the service just right. Dogs can go too as long as you eat in the bar area and booking would always be advisable.

I met some friends here for Sunday lunch. I am gf so had checked the menu beforehand and was looking forward to a gf Sunday lunch. I could only have the beef but that was fine. What I got compared to others was what resembled...

They nail it every time. Great food, possibly best steak EVAH, good veggie options. Great ambience and friendly but professional service. It’s not cheap but quality isn’t. Treat yourselves.

We live locally but can’t explain why we haven’t visited the Chequers more often . Managed to book a table at short notice for 6 for lunch on New Year’s Eve . The pub had a lovely ambience , the waiters were very attentive and...

Delighted to have two excellent vegetarian options for main course. We had halloumi and mushroom burgers and root vegetable shepherd's pie. Delicious! Tasty puddings, good wine and friendly service.

Had the pleasure of spending the night with my wife in this wonderful pub. Fantastic accommodation beautiful food and lovely beer and wine in front of an open fire. Brilliant hardworking staff nothing was to much trouble for them. Will be returning next year. Thank...

Lovely looking pub/restaurant but sadly my food was not good . I ordered belly pork and was looking forward to lovely Succulent pork with rendered fat and a little crackling what I got was a roll of white fat a little meat and not much...

We dropped in here for our birthday meals as December sees both my wife and my birthdays.Again the Chequers delivered a wonderful meal and dining experience. We had the rib of beef and it was divine. Melt in your mouth meat, with proper, I mean, proper béarnaise sauce, obviously made from scratch.Good ale and wines made for a lovely lunch.

We stayed at the Chequers following a visit to the Belvoir Castle Regency Chrustmas. The welcome and wood were excellent. We had the fillet steaks which were good quality and cooked perfectly. The service and ambience were both good and we hope to return.

A welcoming sight whilst on a walk. What a fabulous old (but with a modern twist) pub. We felt very welcomed by the staff and enjoyed a nice beer. The restaurant area was so cosy. We sat in the bar area which was fab. It’s private dining and party rooms looked so nice.

Great food as usual. Sat opposite the open fire which on a cold night was lovely. The pies are always a winner and the chicken, leek and tarragon we tried was delicious with gravy. Washed down with a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. Service a bit hit and miss tonight, which is not the norm, but we will be back.

Where do I start? There are so many positives to choosing The Chequers for your romantic meal, family gathering or, as was for us, a special day.The ambience; a beautiful cosy country pub/house with a soothing intimate feel and lots of interesting nooks to explore. The event room is spacious with warm oak wooden floors, large glass paned bi-folding doors outlooking to beautiful gardens, a 360 vision of loveliness. Log fires for those colder evenings or garden seating for summer.The venue room; our wedding was in November and we chose a candle lit, intimate feeling with autumnal colours complemented by their warm oak wood flooring and soft lighting. The fires burned beautifully adding to the charm.The booze; a large selection of delicious wines, whiskey for the connoisseurs and an array of gins; not forgetting a few classy cocktails for that little extra sass!The food; insanely tasty! I am actually planning to rebook just for the food and I am probably not the first bride who kept booking for food (just to go over things one more time ha!). We sat 62 guests and every single meal was hot, tasty and served in a timely fashion. I must admit I was nervous that a pub would manage a large party when it came to serving hot delicious meals but they were fantastic! Beautiful food and professionally executed! One of our guests is a talented chef who commented how lovely it was to enjoy such high standard food and be on the other side of the kitchens.The rooms; guests and the happy couple (us) enjoyed every room. Cleaned to a high standard, beautifully and tastefully decorated. It was a real treat away from home to stay here and boy did I love that deep bath tub!!The team; all incredibly supportive, friendly and professional. I could not have asked for anything more, they were with me every step of the way! Last but by far not least, Jo (The owner/manager). Jo is incredible, she took everything in her stride, catering for every whim, last minute tweaks and knowing from experience exactly what I needed when even I didn't know. She appeared at exactly the right moments with a steady hand. When the nerves kicked in, she was there with a reassuring smile (reminded me to BREATHE) and off I went down the aisle!Our day was perfect and I am 100% happy that I chose The Chequers Team to make it so.

This is the first time we had visited The Chequers Inn but it won’t be the last! It is fantastic! Really welcoming and cosy with the fires in two rooms and beautifully decorated. The staff were very friendly and the service excellent. The menu and quality of food was outstanding. Can’t wait to return!
