After reading some negative comments on TripAdvisor, I was a little worried but all was well - plenty of friendly helpful staff. Food great. Great day out.
Again another lovely meal, friendly and polite staff, relaxing atmosphere. We would have given 6 if we had just been asked if we'd like to try the wine or asked if we would like it poured. Our second bottle we didn't even know it had arrived as no one said anything.
Never a bad meal! 7 for 7 great value , can't wait to go back! Wish we were local. Best to book even mid week to avoid disappointment
Really nice food. Service was a little slow but it was busy with a wedding on as well as Friday pre bank holiday lunch trade.
Food and service brilliant as usual. Lovely meal for a birthday
Poor service, people were not greeted with a smile, staff looked really unhappy, we sat at our table for half a hour not one person came to see if we needed drinks or ready to order, even though we was not given menus, we had to get our own menus. Food was not up to much, our steaks were very fatty and food was very greasy. I was very disappointed was expecting more after the great reviews and recommendations.
For a start we were greeted like two headless corpses had just walked in the room! no smile, no Hi or welcome just nothing! we were sat at a table, table 25 to be exact, no drinks service for a good 15 minutes, no bread offered before our meal!? we ordered starters which were OK, nothing special, risotto and mushrooms on toast, main course we had a gourmet (?) burger and monk fish again nothing special i left half of the burger just because it was so average!, deserts were good and we had the dessert wines which accompanied nicely, but all in all after forking out 92 quid for two of us on a very very average meal it was disappointing to say the least. Not sure we will return to this one again which is a shame as the chequers could be really good, a smile and a welcome costs nothing and goes a long way too.
Great food and good children's menu at reasonable value. Lovely garden and setting. We have eaten here twice before and would choose to do so again.
We arrived at 5pm and was welcomed with the seven before seven menu. Service was a bit rushed, but the food and wine was of course, excellent.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The food was top quality and the pub is stylish comfortable and beautifully decorated. You felt like you are at home. The service was attentive and while we were not hurried, at the same time we were not waiting. The staff were all uniformed and smart and very friendly. I would highly recommend this place it's adorable and relaxing.
Had a party of 6 from various countries in Europe on a Monday night works dinner and the service and food were excellent. Well done to the team!
Service was poor and food mediocre for the price. Offered dessert menu at end to the meal which was accepted but after over 10minutes waiting we got up and paid. Disappointing for a previously good choice for an evening meal.
Wonderful evening, all of the staff were pleasant and helpful. The food was lovely. Did not feel rushed at any point - really relaxed time. Will definitely return
Excellent food as always...they make even the simplest of dishes extraordinary and real value for money. I had pork, Apple and black pudding pie and I can honestly say it was the best pie I have ever had. Will definitely be having that again.
Great food, reasonably priced. Room was a little cold and lacked a bit of atmosphere as it was tucked out of the way. Will definitely visit again but ask for a table in the bar area.
We went there for Sunday lunch, lovely setting and sat outside. Food was very good and so was the atentive staff which made for a pleasant afternoon.
Girly lunch today. Food was excellent . Highlights - Fresh Lemon Sole and Sticky toffee pudding. Service very good- attentive without being intrusive. Wedding party happening at the same time but did not intrude on the dining experience. Thoroughly recommend!.
Great food & a Di e selection of alesin good atmosphere, only critisism, I had the beetroot cured salmon which was tiny. Very friendly service.
Great food but service was poor. We were in a room which echoed so a large party of eight drowned out our conversation. It was also very hot. The food was excellent but sadly the staff were not of the same standard.
Quick and attentive service. Menu 2 courses for £13.95 (starter and main only) but still £13.95 if you don't want a starter! Plus an extra £3.95 supplement for beef. So my husband had roast beef with one Yorkshire pudding 3 roast potatoes and shared veg with my friend and I and it cost an extortionate £17.90! We won't be going back in a hurry!
We had a very enjoyable lunch and dinner as well as staying the night which was followed by a hearty breakfast. The food and rooms were excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall it was an experience which I would recommend.
Very friendly efficient service, tasty lunch and lovely venue. Very much liked the alterations that had taken place since my last visit a couple of years ago! 😀 Fun venue highly recommended
Good atmosphere & environment. The staff were friendly & welcoming, & the service good. A lovely place to visit for a Sunday lunch. The food was no more than average, hence the score, but if you're not a foodie & want a nice place to meet up, The Chequers is to be recommended.
Fantastic as always. Consistently good food and service, with a very warm welcome. Bloody Marys are to be recommended, and the wine list is varied and interesting. A real gem in the Vale of Belvoir and worth a detour!
We had a lovely meal at the Chequers Inn. The staff were friendly, efficient and very welcoming and the food was delicious. We were impressed with the menu selection on offer and the range of drinks that were available.
Very nice pub in the front. The restaurant is cosy and the service smooth. I always enjoy the food a lot, a five star experience!
Great food and atmosphere. Enjoyed the pie and great wine alongside it. Relaxing evening with some special friends. A great place for a special meal.
Lovely restaurant, friendly staff who welcomed us as a party of four walkers. Great location and well appointed. Best burger I have had outside of NYC and I am not a burger person normally. Would definitely return and thoroughly recommend. Thanks for your contribution to our lovely day.
Great food & service. The place was busy with a wedding but this was not effected by their service. Would definitely recommend! Especially the steak!
Country Inn with excellent food and service, would highly recommend, good choice of food nothing too much trouble if required, excellent value for money, you wouldn't be disappointed.
Lovely food, friendly staff, nice cosy atmosphere. Well run pub,we love it here. We are local to the area, so appreciate its close proximity to Belvoir Castle. If your travelling I would suggest staying over to enjoy the rest of what the Vale of Belvoir has to offer in terms of beautiful walks & pretty villages.
Our first visit, on this occasion the excellent Sunday lunch was the order of the day, Very good it was too, good choice on the menu with something to suit everyone. The restaurant was very busy with clearly a strong repeat trade. Good food, good service and good value !
Food was fine but service was slow. The pub itself is kept very well and the area around is lovely. It seems to have a steady trade.
Food and service excellent as always. The Chequers has been a favourite for many years and Jo and her team deserve great credit for maintaining high standards.
Very relaxed experience. Table ready for us at specified time. Food delicious as always and staff helpful and friendly. We will be back again soon!
Absolutely love going here, the food is amazing and I always receive really good service from all the staff that work at the chequers in
high quality Sunday lunch excellent service great value we have eaten here before and returned with friends. The standard remains high and we will be returning soon.
Perfect service received and perfect food and atmosphere as always! Often go for celebrations worth the travel would recommend to all family and friends. Will be there again soon!
Chequers never fails to impress me. A quintessential English country pub in an idyllic location. The food was fantastic and there was a superb atmosphere. Wish this place was on my doorstep but worth driving out to every time!!
Great service and excellent food! This is now our Sunday lunch venue of choice!
The food was served promptly but we did not enjoy our meals. The squash soup was very thin and watery and tasteless. The roast potatoes were hard and not crisp. The carrots and broccoli were too hard and not cooked for long enough. The chicken and pork was fine but overall we didn't feel that the quality of the food justified the cost of the meals.
Our first time at The Chequers Inn and it did not disappoint. As we arrived we saw that there was a wedding on too and yet once we were seated at our table we had no idea it was on. The meal was superb, it was well timed between courses and the service was excellent.
Had a great meal and service was great. Lots of different dining areas so feels smaller than it actually is.
Love this place, nice food and good choice. Monthly specials are nice
We had Sunday lunch, the staff were very polite and friendly. We were seated in a small area behind the bar. The food was delicious - I had the beef and it was really lovely. The only reason I haven't given 6 was because it did take quite a long time for anyone to come and take our order for Main and dessert - both times we had to go to the bar to let staff know we were ready to order. All in all it was a great meal and we will definitely return.
Booked here as camping near by so hadn't checked reviews before we got there. This pub is offering a high standard of food and service and our meals were good and well presented. However, this is reflected in the price and in particular wine per glass is over priced.
Love the place, my favourite pub to eat at. Lots of choice and great food
Faultless meal, great dining experience. Excellent, friendly service. Beautiful surroundings in the Vale of Belvoir. This restaurant will become our favourite in the area. Highly recommended.
Excellent food and a warm welcome as always. The food and service is consistently good which is very rare these days. Good balanced menu, the only niggle is that there could be more choice for children
Always good at the chequers, lovely food and great pub really enjoyed a nice casual lunch with excellent service and relaxed atmosphere in beautiful dining area
