Lovely pub, really good food and friendly staff. The only shame was that we had to wait rather a long time for our main...other people sat down after us and were being served quite a while before us, we had to chase up the main. But it came with apologies and everything was lovely
Yet another lovely night with friends at The Chequers. Food and service both excellent as always. Thanks to all xx
Excellent food. Nice atmosphere and the chocolate pudding was great
a truly excellent eating experience, definitely will book again soon
It was great, staff really attentive and was food lovely.
Excellent food and the service was very prompt and polite,thoroughly recommended
Excellent service from every member of staff. Excellent food. Good range to choose from. Also a wide range of drinks at bar and a good wine list. Faultless.
We really enjoyed the food and service and sitting outside in the sun was a bonus!
Lovely fresh food, great service and fantastic value for money :)
Its was great. Been lots of times and always love it.
Food delicious, Atmosphere lovely Started in the gardens with gorgeous views across to Belvoir Castle then moved to the bar area for a cosy chilled dessert and coffee.
Lovely celebratory lunch. Great food and wine. I would recommend.
Great food ! great service ! And a lovely atmosphere.
We were there for a Mother's Day lunch, and the quality of food and speed of service for such a busy day was very good. Unfortunately, one of the main course orders was forgotten, and slightly strangely the waitress didn't write down orders, but it was a blip and I would definitely return to this place and happily recommend it to others.
Very good food, with reasonable portion sizes that allowed thyree courses to be enjoyed. Excellent service with reasonable waiting times.
Just great all round experience.. Food superb, team really friendly. Able to sit outside - perfect.
Lovely pub, great food, good selection of menu options, good service. We all really enjoyed our meal. Thank you, Chequers
Lovely country pub with fantastic food and service. Definitely recommend.
Great Thankyou very much . A nice place to eat
This is our favourite place to eat in the Vale - the food and service never disappoint plus we love the ambiance!
A more stable dining table would have made eating easier.
We waited an hour before we got any food,as other people were served before us that had been seated after us. The food was very salty and overpriced for what we got. Very disappointed!!!!! Told staff our thoughts.
Good food served in a really nice friendly environment. Always good to enjoy a meal out at The Chequers. Looking forward to the next visit already!
We booked a meal for two it was very busy and we queued at the bar then we had to let staff know we were there for a meal they showed us to our table with menus we had a good wait for our order to be taken they were so busy. When our meal arrived it was lovely and worth waiting for overall a nice place to eat but think the young staff are not as efficient as they could be particularly behind the bar
The service was excellent and the candle-lit atmosphere welcoming and appropriate for Valentine's Day, but the food was quite a long way from good. It was clear that most of the dishes were pre-prepped and created to maximise profits rather than aim for quality. The miniature bowl of pea soup was ok, but the platter of sea food not particularly good. The batter on the large tempura prawn was not crisp - in fact Iceland do a much better version. The oyster was small and lacked real flavour, and the two minute scallops per person were nothing like the fat, juicy, delicately-flavoured scallops I would expect in a restaurant, though they were saved by the garlic and cheese. The steak in the beef wellington was excellent - well cooked and tender - but the pastry was limp and soggy. The mixed, chopped vegetables were not particularly enjoyable and the dauphinoise potatoes were not how they should be by a long way. Instead of creamy, garlicky, cheesy and crispy on top, they were more a slice of potato cake - stodgy and bland. The selection of puddings weren't bad, though the chocolate sponge wasn't light and airy and hadn't appeared to rise properly. Just disappointed as it wouldn't have taken that much more effort to make this a wonderful dining experience rather than an easily forgettable one.
The Chequers is a lovely, cosy country pub with consistently great food and friendly service. Early bird menu is excellent value - until 7pm each night.
We visited The Chequers for Sunday lunch with friends for a catch up. The staff were very friendly and polite. Good food, good company and value for money.
It was a dark night, a lilltle cold and rain in the air. We parked the car in the ample spaced car park in front of and around the back of The Chequres. We've been before but not for a long time. Once through the front door we walked straight into the bar area where there were a few customers at the bar with a member of staff behind it. With a broard smile she welcomed my wife and I to The Chequres and asked me what we would like to drink and whether we had booked a table, if so we could have a drink in the bar first and when we were ready she would show us to our table, (sorry I didn't get her name but she was wearing glasses). We booked an early evening meal so we asked to be shown to our table. Within a blink of an eye the staff member picked up two menus and swiftly walked us to The Snug and placed our menus on the table right by the lovely warm open fire. Once we were settled down, with our coats off, she asked if we wanted a drink. We asked her to give us a few minutes and without fartherado she returned we chose two large red wines at which she rattled off a number of Red Wines to which we chose the Merlot. Once the two glasses of Merlot was on our table we had chosen our meals. Another member of staff, with notebook in hand, she took our orders making sure she repeated the order to ensure all was correct before leaving for the kitchen. I had the Shortcrust Steak and Ale Pie (with mushrooms), hand cut chips and Green Beans, my wife chose the Homemade Burger and the trimmings. Not long after, our meals arrived with yet another member of staff, again with a broad smile on his face asking who had ordered the Burger etc. He too asked if my wife wanted anything with the Burger, K Up was her choice, it arrived in a suitable white pot. Finally, the pudding menu arrived, I ordered the Dark Chocolate pudding with a scoop of nutty icecream and my wife had the Lemon Tart with a scoop of Sorbet, within seconds got tucked in. Both courses were well cooked, presented and tasted just as one would have expected. A lovely experience in lovely surroundings with caring staff looking after all your wishes. We will be returning without a doubt. Thank You Steve and Sue.
My favourite pub, Lovely meal and lovely staff as always, would have preferred to not be seated next to baby😁 Always a good experience, thank you
Great choice of food and drinks on the menu. The food was really fresh and tasty. Service was quick and friendly. Will be going back
Sunday lunch with the grandchildren. Excellent meal beautifully cooked with great service and very reasonably priced. Our first visit and definitely won’t be the last.
Excellent Sunday lunch as always. We all had the roast pork which was tender and flavoursome (and plenty of it). Service a little quick with the main course (some large tables booked in later by the looks of it)
Food was fab, as was the service. Prices are reasonable. Happy to go back, especially seeing as they are dog and child friendly. Definitely our new favourite!
Fabulous food and atmosphere - staff friendly and helpful -especially with my nut allergy. I had a gin cocktail which was amazing and was recommended by the waitress
Lovely food and great service, thank you. Lovely open fires and a good selection of beer. Would recommend. Gets busy though so book if you can.
Very warm and convivial, excellent staff and quality faire we enjoyed
Lovely place, food, people; you just can’t help going back again, and again...
Very welcoming and friendly, good food (it was nice to see the roast beef served slightly pink, welcome change from being under a carvery light for a few hours. Lovely atmosphere. Loved the open fires! Will be back :-)
We arrived late due to a hospital appointment over running. The staff couldn’t have been more forgiving or helpful. The dinning room was beautiful, the ambience was perfect & food divine. Over all, an excellent menu & good value for money. Thanks to the staff who served us throughout the evening, you were superb.
Lovely Country pub with fine food and great range of Beers, Wines and Spirits. The £7.99 early evening food deal is amazing value. Fine Dining at a great price.
The service was brilliant, a lovely fire to warm up next to on arrival. The gourmet burger was the nicest I have tried. Will be visiting again
The food was stunning and time between courses was short and prompt. Staff were very welcoming and we had great service all night, would recommend to anyone.
Beautiful country pub and restaurant, excellent food, lovely friendly staff. Food and Bar service was amazing. Very popular so booking is advised! I cannot speak highly enough of this place!
An outstanding evening at a lovely inn. The service and food were both exceptional. I recommend a visit to the chequers Inn for a drink or a meal.
Excellent food and very helpful staff who quickly offered alternative meals for my wife's gluten and dairy intolerance requirements. Great atmosphere and would highly recommend
Delicious lovely food and lots of it! Great service and atmosphere too. Definitely recommend for your works Christmas party. Something for everyone. Worth a visit.
Once again a very nice evening meal, staff were pleasant and helpful, beer was good and the Chocolate Orange cocktail splendid. Not very busy but we were early diners.
Great service, cosy table, food delicious, good pace of service by friendly staff, adnams on tap. A chance for wonderful food and dining experience in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Well done all.
Excellent service and food. Enjoyed our meal very much. Nothing to complaint about at all. We were expecting it to be more pricey but it reasonable.
Unfortunately food was cold for the main meal.I feel the meal was not value for money for a Sunday roast.Very disappointing experience,a real shame as the portion size was also very meagre.
