The Chequers Inn

Food very good. Service excellent. We sat outside and were very comfortable.

Very good choice of Sunday lunch options, all of ours really delicious (and plentiful). Lovely setting, staff friendly and helpful, and everything met our needs. We'll come back another time to try out the other menu! Thanks very much.

Most enjoyable the staff were very good, food was flavoursome and will go again.

Received a lovely warm welcome by two young gentleman front of house lovely tables laid out and delicious food served

Lovely Sunday lunch . Great choice . Great staff. Cosy restaurant .

Sunday lunch with my husband, father-in-law and 4-year old grandson. It was our first time visiting the Chequers Inn at Elston. Lovely place, we found to be warm and welcoming. My father-in-law enjoyed his 3-course meal (loves his food), my husband ate everything because he was starving 😊 Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it half as much. There was too much food piled on the plate and this made it difficult to really get at the different elements of the meal. I was very disappointed with the tiny piece of crackling and my roast potatoes were a little soggy because they had other foods piled on top. I was also a little disappointed that they don't really cater for little ones. The "smaller" portions served up for "little ones" were huge and sadly wasted. It may be worthwhile offering a more child-friendly menu (at least 1 dish) for Sunday lunchtime. To summarise, venue was lovely, staff also lovely, but the food could have been better.

We love Sunday lunch at the Chequers, unfortunately the beef was rather overcooked and a bit grisly this week. Other than that it was very good. Always great service.

Beautiful venue, great food, very pleasant waiter. Will definitely return.

Food was delicious and service great. Special mention to the limoncello cheesecake which was delicious!

I had the open chicken and leek pie. It was lovely. The red cabbage is to die for. Wished I asked for the recipe. I would certainly recommend this place to friends and family.

Not the first time we have visited this pub/restaurant for Sunday lunch and once again we were not disappointed. The interior design of the pub is very smart and trendy as well.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. As always food was delicious, staff are great

Always a great meal and lovely relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend

Fabulous Halloween activities for the grandchildren along with the usual excellent food and service

A great local pub with excellent food, lovely staff and comfortable surroundings

Our friend travels over quite often to see us and she loves to visit the pub too

Nice food and good atmosphere. Would definitely return for another meal

We obviously came in at the wrong time as ended up waiting what felt like 5 minutes in the middle of the restaurant so our first greeting of this restaurant wasn't the most welcoming. Perhaps a reserved with your name on the table so you can at least sit down. Food was great but pricing was top end, perhaps a 2 or 3 course price offer would encourage more to partake

First visits, very welcoming and attentive barman down to remembering on second visit what our drinks order was from previous nights visit. Food was very nice on both visits. If back in the area will definitely return.

Fabulous food welcoming atmosphere We are only local so a first visit, we will be back

If there was a 6th Star this place would have got it! Absolutely superb! Not only outstanding hospitality from the owner himself but the food was of the highest standard. Fresh, hot and tasty. What a find in the Newark area. Beautifully renovated village pub to the highest standard. And a bonus that nothing is over priced… How lucky if this was your village local!!

Lovely pub friendly staff the service was fast and food was great

Excellent Christmas Day lunch. Great food in a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to all at The Chequers!

Food was amazing and staff were very friendly. The pub is absolutely lovely and decorated very nicely for Christmas.

There was a festive menu and a few items menu (fish and chips and burgers) but we did fancy either so the server asked the chef if they'd do us two pies, which they did. Freshly prepared with some christmas veg which was lovely.

A fabulously warm welcome and great service from this village pub.

This was our first time for Sunday lunch and was very impressed by how beautiful the dining room was . The Christmas tree was huge and very pretty . The food was amazing and the staff were very good at their jobs. Overall super happy and we will be returning.

Good food, good ambience, attentive staff and not rushed in anyway.

Enjoyed the ambiance; the new lounge area looks amazing. Food was excellent as usual and the staff were efficient and friendly. Of course we will return. Xx

very nice service excellent and the puddings a must thank you

Great food reasonably priced. Good atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff.

Friendly restaurant with delicious food cooked well and superb value for money.

good Sunday lunch but unfortunately no fish on the main menue

Lovely surroundings and high quality food. Empty plates alround. Will visit again.

This was our first visit and we enjoyed it very much

Good menu, fair prices, excellent service from a young man and lady who looked after us very well. Lovely food. Only negative was that the pub could have done with some heating on. Otherwise, excellent.

Lovely group visit for pie & pint night. Everyone very satisfied. Great ambience and service. Table set out really nicely.

Wonderful food in a superb setting. Staff were extremely helpful and had a very good understanding of the menu.

It was Amazing food, friendly staff and great value, thank you

Fantastic service and the food was beautiful . Big portions too . More than happy . Will certainly return

We enjoyed Sunday lunch in the upstairs restaurant which is beautifully furnished and plenty of space between tables. We were well looked after by the staff including George who is always delightful. The meal was first class, really nicely presented and great quality. Excellent all round. Would highly recommend.

Not much atmosphere, would have preferred to be downstairs. Waiter was pleasant. Sunday dinner only ok, Yorkshire pudding like cardboard and cold. Only 3 desserts to choose from. All in all wont rush to come again.

Great food, well presented and good service. Would highly recommend..

A lovely meal, amazing steaks and great service, great wine list too.

Lovely meal. Fish & chips best I’ve had in a long time. Family loved the steak & ale pie.

Lovely food presented beautifully tasted great . Staff excellent, great value for money

Well worth a visit on burger night (and other nights too!)

Lovely food well presented staff very friendly , enjoyed ever minute

Sunday lunch - wonderful atmosphere at The Chequers today for Sunday Lunch. We all had roasts - mine a Brazilian Nut roast. We were made welcome by all the staff. Lovely occasion for the four of us.

Great food and polite staff. Sunday roast is very nice.
