Staff were lovely, food was great, setting was just what we hoped for. We will definitely return and recommend. Thank you for a lovely evening.
We come to the Chequers fairly regularly for work lunches because we know we can guarantee a great meal. The staff are attentive, menu choices great (with some lovely vegetarian options), the food is always delicious, in a lovely dining environment - thank you.
It was our first time dining here and overall we had a really good meal and would definitely visit again. The food was tasty with attention to detail and flavour but it seemed like instead of pasta in the cannelloni they used short crust pastry which, although enjoyable, wasn't quite as good as I think pasta would have been and not what I expected. Apart from that very minor detail we had a very enjoyable time and can see why it was recommended to us by quite a few different people.
Our first visit but we were disappointed as there was no warm welcome on arrival, the food was average and we expected better based on the reputation of this Inn. On a positive note it is quaint and old.
Lovely surroundings and the service was friendly and at a nice pace. Lots of varied choices on menu and the food we chose was served in nice portion sizes and was very tasty.
An excellent Sunday lunch with a really nice bottle of wine. Very busy and a good atmosphere. We will be back in the near future.
We enjoyed great food and service in a lovely pub restaurant. We had a really enjoyable evening and look forward to coming back again soon
A great experience. Friendly warm welcome and good service. Try the cocktails and one of their large selection of gins Menu was different with plenty of choice. Very good indeed
Top quality food (usually locally sourced) service and staff very pleasant and welcoming. nice range of beers and gins all in a lovely country pub
Great food and great service, although we would have preferred to eat in one of the snug dining areas rather than the larger dining room.
What an absolute gem! Lovely atmosphere with a real fire in the main bar. Meal was delicious followed by a night in the loft room bed so comfortable. One of the best breakfasts ever. Will definitely back
Quality food served by exceptionally attentive, polite and friendly staff. Will definitely visit again at some point in the future...and worth the 45 minute drive from Lincoln for the pleasure.
Good prompt service. Food very nice and reasonable price. Recommended
good food and beer, although the vegetarian meal deal portion was small, more like a starter! We always go for the meal deal and find the meal deal portions in general have reduced over the past 9 months, come on how much does a few more chips cost?
Friendly Staff .Very Good Food . Gem of a place . A must place to visit if you are in area . Thanks for a nice time . Will be back . RON x
Good food and good price. They offer a £7 menu between 6pm-7pm which suits the early bird eaters well. Always a pleasure going there to eat
Food was absolutely fabulous, friendly staff and even though they had a wedding on site, the service was very good. Only the second time I’ve been and both times it’s been faultless, will be going again soon :D
Our meal was booked for early evening and we were the first table to be seated in our area and yet it took 45 minutes before anyone took our order (despite prompting) and another 45 for it to arrive, the food is good but not good enough for a 90 minute wait.
Excellent food and drink. Service also excellent and a great atmosphere throughout the whole premises. Beer choice was particularly good and varied with quality brands
Great food, lovely pub, and the early bird great value
Excellent meal, lovely venue, only minor disappointment was that the crackling for the pork belly was a crisp and not authentic, but other than that, delicious food.
Lovely food and atmosphere. Will definitely return in the future. Highly recommended.
Lovely food. Nice atmosphere. Not rushed plenty of time to enjoy the meal. Good selection of drinks particularly many different gins to try. Nice menu for children.
This was our first meal out child free since our son was born and we really enjoyed it! Lovely location, food and service was spot on and we’ll definitely go back.
Food was really lovely. Such a nice place to visit. In the middle of a quaint little village. We will most certainly be going again.
Fantastic food, very tasty, thought portion size was just a little bit large for me personally but couldn’t fault the food, compliments to the chef! Service very good too.
Amazing food, great service. A lovely homely feel and the food is so diverse and exquisite. I have been back 3 times already and each time taken friends, family and my partner! I will no doubt be going back again
Good Food, Good Service. We were a group of three, some ordering starters some not, all the food arrived in good time and the staff were attentive but not intrusive.
Superb as always. Food is great, as is the atmosphere. A beautiful country pub with an excellent chef and staff. Well worth the visit, as always.
Lovely place, great food and friendly service. Will definitely return.
Had high expectations about restaurant but main meals were poor and compared to the starters small, service wasn’t great We have since found out it’s changed hands recently but won’t be going back
Unfortunately, service was very slow when we visited and it took over 2 hours to have just 2 courses. The food itself was well presented and tasty although they ran out of their pie of day, and several other dishes, before we could place our order at only 18.45 in the evening. The cooler had broken in the bar and so there were no draft beers on offer. All in all, not a great dining experience.
The fo0d at the chequers is always very good, however the service on most occassions is on the slow side as the staff always appear to be rushed off their feet
We are staying in the area so I researched where we could go for a good meal. The Chequers seemed it would tick all the boxes and I really thought it would wow. Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed. My burger wasn't cooked through, so I had to send it back. It was replaced without hesitation with the vegetarian one but this was undercooked too, probably because of the chef's haste getting it out. On a positive note, the manager was very apologetic and I wasn't charged for my main course.
Food & service was good. This was our first visit back since our daughter got married there 6 years ago. A great reminder of what a beautiful place this is. We had a lovely evening & will definately be returning .
The food and restaurant were excellent however the service was not so good but maybe that was because there was a wedding evening do taking place at the same venue.
Lovely food and friendly helpful staff, value for money... cool dining room on a hot day.prompt service upon asking for the bill. I can highly recommend
Perfect Sunday lunch. Excellent service. Lovely food. Very good value for money.Definitely recommend.
Beautiful evening! It was a quiet sunny Monday evening which was lovely. We took my Son and daughter in law for their wedding anniversary and had a brilliant time. The food was exceptional and the service was great. Would certainly visit again. Lots of variety on the menu with yummy desserts and great dessert wines and cocktails.
Fantastic food quality & value surroundings very nice also staff where very good & will definitely be back soon as we enjoyed it so much
Fantastic Sunday lunch and an excellent beer garden to boot! A decent range of real ales, spirits and wines with pub having plenty of character tucked away in the small village of Woolsthorpe. The Chequers has become a regular haunt of ours over the last few years and never fails to disappoint. Well worth a visit.
Lovely meal with our daughters who were visiting for the weekend. Food and service excellent as ever even on a busy evening and hosting a wedding reception - thanks!
I am a big fan of The Chequers, however, my Sunday lunch there yesterday was a little disappointing. The food was just...basic... which I never thought I would say of there. My main was pork, apple sauce, roast potatoes, broccoli and green beans. No yorkshire pudding, stuffing, interesting veg choices. Was left a little underwhelmed. Sorry!
Excellent food and great service. Even though they were catering for a wedding that evening, our food was still served in good time. The staff were very calm, friendly and polite. I'd recommend the Chequers Inn to anyone who wants to experience a proper quality country pub.
Nice venue and pleasant staff, but there was almost an hour between starters and main courses, and the food was dry and below average, yet the place was only a third full. A real shame. Staff were apologetic but offered no credible explanation
Superb food, service, setting. Will certainly be back. The Chequers Inn is located in a stunning location in the Vale of Belvoir. Hikers and furry friends welcomed in the bar. Highly recommended.
Always a warm welcome. Consistently good food. Classics and new monthly menus keep it fresh. Good stock of guns to choose from and staff all very knowledgeable.
Group of 4 people. Pigs cheek starter x2 were terrible meat was tough & inedible, which they refunded the cost of on the bill. Salmon main course x2 was pretty tasteless, burger meal x1, burger contained an amount of hard inedible material. All other meals were OK. We have eaten here once before and were impressed which is why we returned, on this visit however much less so. Service by the staff was good, attentive & sympathetic.
Food overload sometimes at expence of presentation especially where chips or potatoes are concerned. We were missing bread on the table which we didn,t realise till others had it. Good service and pleasant staff in a nice pub and surroundings.
Stopped here on way back from London to Yorkshire. Found it on trip advisor Amazing place. lovely food, brilliant service loved it! Will certainly go back- may even get married there!
