Live just a few miles from the Chequers but incredibly this was our first time there. Had no idea what we were missing! Dropped in with our dog on the way back from Wareham for lunch as we had heard good things. Shared a one-person nachos to start, I had a sandwich and husband had ham, egg and chips. The nachos were amazing, the best I have ever had. Loads of cheese, lovely guacamole! Salsa and sour cream - not too spicy, which suited me. There was liberal scattering of chillis over the top which husband love. My sand which was freshly made, dripping with Camembert cheese and lots of bacon - also came with yummy fries which I hadn’t expected (obviously can’t read) and a side salad with a great dressing. Husband really enjoyed his ham, egg and chips! Which was really nicely presented and he cleared his plate so must have tasted good too! We will be back!

This was an ad hoc visit, we hadn't had breakfast, and time was pressing. So we thought we would try somewhere we hadn't visited before. We are so glad we did. We were welcomed from the minute we entered. It was fairly busy at 230 ISH the tables were well spaced out so COVID complyaint it is family friendly we went for some good old plain food which arrived promptly and piping hot. No complaints there. We thought well it is Christmas eve so let's have a dessert, We went for the apple and cinnamon crumble with ice cream we weren't disappointed one bit. It was lovely. Over all I carnt see why we haven't visited sooner. It's a treat. And the price is reasonable. I like the touch on the menu, asking if you don't like any that is on the side please ask and we will not put things you don't like on the plate and it saves waste. If you use your phone to pay make sure you have a back up as signal not good so had to use a physical card as it was a bit difficult putting my phone in the machine lol. Overall I cannot fault one bit. Well done to the landlord/ landlady and the team.

Meal for 14 on Friday night. Staff and service were great, especially as we were a large group. Food was excellent. We had asked for a couple of dishes to be adapted slightly which they did. I recommend the bass fillet. It's easy to get fish wrong but it was cooked to perfection.We had a great evening. I only gave 3 stars for atmosphere as it was quite chilly and dimly lit in the conservatory, where we were seated.I would certainly eat here again but I would wear warmer clothes.

Brilliant Christmas meal. No faults whatsoever. The meal was hot, the service was very good and the portions were very good. Excellent value for money. Went as a party of 16. Have never been to the pub before but I will definitely return to have another meal. Highly recommended.

I have to say this is one of the best roast dinners I've had in Dorset for a long time!!! It had been many years since I visited this cosy pub in lytchette but it didn't disappoint at all! The restaurant was full up with diners, we were seated in the conservatory which was comfortable, bright and spacious! A good variety of drinks were available, the wine was really tasty too (I'm quite fussy) but the roast was on another level and very affordable priced! It was superb and totally worth it. Looking forward to booking again sometime soon :)

After being let down at a venue near by The Chequers was a very pleasant experience. Should have booked here first.

Fantastic locally owned pub. Vanessa and the team are always welcoming and kind. Food is always fresh and tasty. Family friendly all round gem of a pub in Dorset. Only downside …. No Brewdog on tap. ?
