The Chequers Inn - North Norfolk

After a long overnight flight from New York and a nearly four-hour drive from Heathrow Airport, my wife and I received a very warm welcome at the Chequers Inn. We were looking for a traditional Sunday pub lunch in Norfolk before heading to our nearby AirBnB, and the hospitality we received was exceptional. The food was amazing and, as a British expat, I thoroughly enjoyed the beer. The staff and patrons at the pub made us feel like part of the family, and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the UK.

Went for evening meal on curry night. But full menu was still available. Went for the curry but a bit disappointed to find that by 7pm one of the three curries was sold out. So left with one meat and one veggie choice. But that aside it was a great experience. Curries were very tasty. Staff really helpful. It still retains the feel of a proper country pub. Many pubs in the area have gone all out on ‘gastro’ and so not a place to go for a drink any more. Was there midweek in November but pretty busy. Overall had a nice feel. Would definitely add to pubs to go to when in the area

Not been here for many years mainly because not passing by but were in village and food was being served all afternoon. Nice pint of a guest seasonal ale. Friendly service happy to ‘fine tune’ menu swapping things around to suit our taste/s. Food came in reasonable time; was hot and tasty as well as priced reasonably … not sure you can ask for more in one of few pubs in North Norfolk that has not gone all ‘gastro’ and ‘Masterchef’, thus retaining some sanity of having good ‘pub grub’. Be back …

A quiet place to go for refreshments ... the locals at the bar talked in hushed tones, as did the bar tenders. The menu was small and pretty uninspiring, just a few pub classics. I tried the halloumi fries and the cheese plate. The chips were fantastic but the cheese plate comprised 3 strips of hard cheese (no variety) and a half dozen savoury biscuits with a few nuts.

From the minute we stepped inside we were made to feel very welcome. Four adults, a baby and two dogs. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The food didn’t disappoint it was freshly cooked, beautiful presented and very tasty. Thank you we will be back.
