The Chequers Inn

Fabulous place, dog friendly, lovely food, beautiful gardens and plenty of parking ! Will now make it our meeting place with friends dotted from Hull to Brackley :)

Family group for mums 92nd birthday experienced lovely food and obligating staff. The location is idyllic but only 15 minutes from Grantham, an interesting historical location.

Lovely restaurant! We booked this last minute as we were passing, the service was great once sat down although there was a long queue at the bar (bad timing) and the food was great.

Fabulous food, accommodation and staff. The most beautiful quaint country pub it’s a little treasure. Cannot fault the place at all !! Will be back real soon

The ambiance in the bar and dining room was perfect, and thee bar service was first class. We were very pleased to be able to get a good meal on Sunday evening - preferring to have our main meal at that time rather than mid-day. We did find the menu a little disappointing but we all three of us chose fillet steak which was very good. We thought that the idea of having a "mini" desert was excellent - much better for the waistline. The staff in the dining room looked after us very well and served us perfectly. We have dined here many times - and will definitely go again.

Staff were very friendly, but it was extremely busy and we were put on a table in between 2 rooms. The lad who cleared our table was far too eager, he cleared our plates before my mum had finished eating - a real pet hate of mine!! Food was good, weird Yorkshire pudding (Yorkshire family) and the veg was rather too al dente. Would try the main menu but wouldn’t bother with the roast beef again!

Excellent food surroundings staff.our sunday lunch could not be bettered.have been talking about this morning to a friend we plan to come midweek next time

Lovely food- for Sunday lunch - very busy but made to feel special . Warm and homely atmosphere . Attentive service and didn’t feel rushed .

While we found the food to be good. The menu was a bit off beat. Not sure what I'd have if I return. Expensive fish and burgers. Limited meat dishes.

Great food, great service and a great welcoming warm pub. The ideal place for my daughters 7th birthday meal! And will continue to frequent in the future

It was quite noisy as there was a function occurring in the large room at the rear which resulted in quite a long wait for service . When we did get our meal it was very good although maybe a little expensive compared to other inns in the steam

Lovely surroundings and great atmosphere. Went for Sunday lunch and felt that £15.95 for 2 courses was reasonable however a £3.95 supplement for beef was a bit too much given that the portion was sufficient but not an abundance of food. Similar to other reviews we found the veg (beans/carrots/broccoli) only just cooked (extremely al dente!). A pleasant meal but nothing to rush back for. Service a bit a slow but to be expected as it was very busy.

Pleasant pub aspiring to be the gastric pub it clearly is not. A starter of lamb belly was limited, quite tasty but overpriced. The pork in puff pastry was disgusting and was sent back, the replacement 12 mins later was better but not by much. The staff were friendly and helpful but the menu flattered to deceive. We will not be returning.

Food was excellent and the staff very friendly . Only minor criticism was that the service could have been a little quicker . Overall very satisfied .

Great pub good food and good service, would recommend, lovely Sunday lunches perfect after a dog walk. Location is really nice just near the castle.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Able to accommodate a last minute time change even on a busy Mother’s Day. The beef was gorgeous. Lovely fireplaces and seating area.

Went with family for a busy mother's day. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our table to become free which is understandable for such a day, just a shame there's no seating in the bar area while you do wait. Food is always great

Confit Duck, and soufflé are simply the best starters!! Excellent food and the usual exceptional service made this yet another lovely night at The Chequers - thank you Justin, Jo and team xx

We met family here as a half way meet between Leeds and London. Had a delicious meal in the doggy friendly bar area. The whole place is beautiful inside and out. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I won’t be looking anywhere else for our next meet up. Well worth the journey.

Fantastic food and service. Would recommend to everyone. Fantastic atmosphere. You are made to feel at home, right from walking in till it's time to go home.

Excellent food and service, very reasonable prices, especially if you take advantage of the seventh heaven (dining between 6 - 7), good selection of ales.

Sunday Lunch was very good and good value too. A warm welcome, good service and delightful country pub atmosphere. I would have rated it a full 6 if I had received french mustard instead of english mustard when requested. A trivial thing but for a score of 6 even these small things count in my opinion. Highly recommended.

Good food and beer at The Chequers, we had the special price menu which is limited choice but still good food, unfortunately my meal - sausage and mash well, to say the portion of mash was small is an understatement, I went away hungry!

Cold night, log fire, good atmosphere. Good food and thoroughly enjoyable. A minor bill issue but hardly worth bothering about. Would go again to utilise Sunday deal

Lovely venue with lovely staff. Amazing food, well worth the drive in the snow to get to. We will certainly come back again. Highly recommended.

Been here many times before and our last meal met its usual high standards. Would thoroughly recommend this pub/restaurant. The lovely open fire in the bar added to the atmosphere on what was a really cold night

We had a homely table and lovely lunch. The chequers were fully accommodating for dietary requirements. All the staff were welcoming and the food was excellent.

Always enjoy good food and a warm welcome from Jo and her team at the Chequers. One of the few places in the area we would regularly visit.

We spent a really enjoyable afternoon at the Chequers Inn. The staff were attentive, the food was delicious and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Thank you!

Welcoming, friendly, efficient service, lovely, relaxing environment with absolutely fantastic food! Thank you to The Chequers Inn, for another great dining experience, we all enjoyed it immensely.

We went for Sunday lunch. Friendly, polite service. Lovely setting/atmosphere-cosy country pub with open fires. Excellent food. Only change I'd make - would be nice to see a veggie version of a Sunday roast (such as veggie pie/strudel with all the normal trimmings) rather than a totally different dish. But otherwise can't fault the place! We will definitely return.

Long wait to order food. Was offered complimentary drinks but drinks that were supposed to be complimentary were charged for on the bill. My husband did not want to spoil my birthday so did not question the bill. Food and staff were lovely.

Really good Gastro dining and great service. Our French guest was very impressed with the selection on offer. As the driver I was thankful that I could have a mocktail.

We have visited here many times, we booked for our anniversary and had a lovely tasty meal all locally sourced produce, large selection of drinks to choose from, friendly welcome on arrival and excellent service from waiting staff overall very highly recommend and we will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Beautiful meal and lovely setting. Would definitely recommend. We went here 5 years ago I don’t know why we left it so long to return.

Very good quality pub food at restaurant prices. Definitely worth a visit. Hidden rural location, attentive staff. Booking system worked really well. January visit, and it was still quite busy so imagine it's a popular local haunt.

We have b enough to The Chequers several tiimes. As per our previous visits, it was avery pleasant experience, with good food and decent service in a cosy and attractive setting.

Welcoming and very helpful staff. Service for my party of six adults and a toddler was excellent and although we would have welcomed a slightly larger choice of dishes everyone was very satisfied with both the starters and the main courses of roast beef or salmon.

As a quite lunch to celebrate a Birthday it was somewhat spoiled by the noise from the nearby tables of about 20 adults each pair having at least 1 child from months old to about 4 years old. Food was spot on usual though.

As ever, The Chequers provided a warm greeting, excellent service and outstanding food. The open fire in the bar area offered welcome heat on arrival, as did the hot, mulled wine. The menu is varied providing a nice balance of traditional and locally sourced dishes with those demonstrating the chef's flair for taste and design. And, with plenty of waiting staff, service is efficient and personal.

Lovely atmosphere.friendly and efficient staff. Food was excellent .unfortunately the accomodation let it down. The bed was uncomfortable the pillows really lumpy. The bathroom was so small the door banged into the shower door. Would eat there again but would not stay over. The breakfast was very good.

Food was good, service was excellent and atmosphere of the restaurant was really lovely, sat by a open fire on a cold evening with mulled wine, excellent.

Brilliant from start to finish. We were greeted with big smiles from behind the bar and a roaring fire. Excellent choice of beers and cocktails. Food was excellent and staff are friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

As per usual, restaurant was super cosy, warm and food was excellent

Excellent experience and food as per usual with the restaurant! Thanks!

Birthday meal each year is held here, always fantastic friendly staff and excellent food, always very helpful staff and super accommodating!

Good food as usual and the staff always having a smile. Will be back very soon. On a cold night always a delight to sit by the fire.

Excellent food in a lovely atmosphere well worth a visit, good selection of beer and cider on the bar and plentiful wine list to suit any meal.

Excellent food, lovely surroundings and generally good service. A great overall experience. I would recommend and will certainly be coming back! Ten out of ten!

Food was mediocre and service was poor. Waited 40 mins between starter and main. Reviews seemed good so thought it was worth a visit, but sadly disappointed. For the price (expensive) I was expecting a decent Sunday roast and the service to be a lot better than it was. We will not be visiting again
