Again another lovely meal, friendly and polite staff, relaxing atmosphere. We would have given 6 if we had just been asked if we'd like to try the wine or asked if we would like it poured. Our second bottle we didn't even know it had arrived as no one said anything.

Menu choice extremely good and food excellent (though why there is a supplement for Road Beef is unclear), staff extremely friendly and helpful. Would visit again

Poor service, people were not greeted with a smile, staff looked really unhappy, we sat at our table for half a hour not one person came to see if we needed drinks or ready to order, even though we was not given menus, we had to get our own menus. Food was not up to much, our steaks were very fatty and food was very greasy. I was very disappointed was expecting more after the great reviews and recommendations.

For a start we were greeted like two headless corpses had just walked in the room! no smile, no Hi or welcome just nothing! we were sat at a table, table 25 to be exact, no drinks service for a good 15 minutes, no bread offered before our meal!? we ordered starters which were OK, nothing special, risotto and mushrooms on toast, main course we had a gourmet (?) burger and monk fish again nothing special i left half of the burger just because it was so average!, deserts were good and we had the dessert wines which accompanied nicely, but all in all after forking out 92 quid for two of us on a very very average meal it was disappointing to say the least. Not sure we will return to this one again which is a shame as the chequers could be really good, a smile and a welcome costs nothing and goes a long way too.

We arrived at 5pm and was welcomed with the seven before seven menu. Service was a bit rushed, but the food and wine was of course, excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The food was top quality and the pub is stylish comfortable and beautifully decorated. You felt like you are at home. The service was attentive and while we were not hurried, at the same time we were not waiting. The staff were all uniformed and smart and very friendly. I would highly recommend this place it's adorable and relaxing.

Service was poor and food mediocre for the price. Offered dessert menu at end to the meal which was accepted but after over 10minutes waiting we got up and paid. Disappointing for a previously good choice for an evening meal.

Excellent food as always...they make even the simplest of dishes extraordinary and real value for money. I had pork, Apple and black pudding pie and I can honestly say it was the best pie I have ever had. Will definitely be having that again.

Great food, reasonably priced. Room was a little cold and lacked a bit of atmosphere as it was tucked out of the way. Will definitely visit again but ask for a table in the bar area.

Great food but service was poor. We were in a room which echoed so a large party of eight drowned out our conversation. It was also very hot. The food was excellent but sadly the staff were not of the same standard.

Quick and attentive service. Menu 2 courses for £13.95 (starter and main only) but still £13.95 if you don't want a starter! Plus an extra £3.95 supplement for beef. So my husband had roast beef with one Yorkshire pudding 3 roast potatoes and shared veg with my friend and I and it cost an extortionate £17.90! We won't be going back in a hurry!

Fantastic as always. Consistently good food and service, with a very warm welcome. Bloody Marys are to be recommended, and the wine list is varied and interesting. A real gem in the Vale of Belvoir and worth a detour!

Good atmosphere & environment. The staff were friendly & welcoming, & the service good. A lovely place to visit for a Sunday lunch. The food was no more than average, hence the score, but if you're not a foodie & want a nice place to meet up, The Chequers is to be recommended.

Lovely food, friendly staff, nice cosy atmosphere. Well run pub,we love it here. We are local to the area, so appreciate its close proximity to Belvoir Castle. If your travelling I would suggest staying over to enjoy the rest of what the Vale of Belvoir has to offer in terms of beautiful walks & pretty villages.

The food was served promptly but we did not enjoy our meals. The squash soup was very thin and watery and tasteless. The roast potatoes were hard and not crisp. The carrots and broccoli were too hard and not cooked for long enough. The chicken and pork was fine but overall we didn't feel that the quality of the food justified the cost of the meals.

Our first time at The Chequers Inn and it did not disappoint. As we arrived we saw that there was a wedding on too and yet once we were seated at our table we had no idea it was on. The meal was superb, it was well timed between courses and the service was excellent.

We had Sunday lunch, the staff were very polite and friendly. We were seated in a small area behind the bar. The food was delicious - I had the beef and it was really lovely. The only reason I haven't given 6 was because it did take quite a long time for anyone to come and take our order for Main and dessert - both times we had to go to the bar to let staff know we were ready to order. All in all it was a great meal and we will definitely return.

Booked here as camping near by so hadn't checked reviews before we got there. This pub is offering a high standard of food and service and our meals were good and well presented. However, this is reflected in the price and in particular wine per glass is over priced.
