The Chequers Inn

The accommodation provides comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and well-equipped amenities. Guests enjoy the exceptional service and delicious breakfast options. However, some may find the cold weather challenging.

I visited the Chequers with friends for a Sunday carvery. Nice setting and a pleasant atmosphere - apart from a child at a nearby table throwing food onto the floor. Generally, the food was good. Meat excellent- very tender pink beef and good roast potatoes. Good selection of vegetables but everything under seasoned - apart from the pork crackling which was excessively salty. Yorkshire puds were rather dry. The gravy, however, was transparent, gloopy and lacked flavour. Veg and potatoes very similar to a Toby but Toby gravy issuperior. I had the 'small' helping, which meant I was obliged to use a small plate, therefore, cutting the food was awkward as it tended to spill over the edge. Normal dinner plates are not permitted! As the amount of meat depends on the small or larger option, I really can't see that having a normal dinner plate would mean a measurably lower profit for the pub. In all, a good carvery but only slightly better than a Toby.

Great stay at a nice, clean property. Room was a nice size and well decorated with some nice touches. Breakfast included was very nice. Great service from all staff from moment we arrived to moment we left.
