My wife and I were given the most warm welcome at the Chequers Inn after a tiring overnight transatlantic flight from NY and a nearly four hour drive from Heathrow Airport. I cannot tell you how great the hospitality was for two exhausted travelers who were looking for a traditional Sunday pub lunch in Norfolk before arriving at our nearby AirBnB. The food was fantastic and the beer (for this expatriate Brit, at least) was delightful. Everyone in the pub greeted us like we were family. We couldn't have asked for a better welcome to the UK.

Recommend this pub while staying in the area for the Thursford Spectacular. When we visited the pub was very quiet so we had no problem obtaining a table. It was curry night but the full menu was available and also a specials board. We had basic potato and leek soup followed by scampi which was very adequate and enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and service was good and we would visit again.

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

We had a good meal with good, friendly efficient service. It was curry night when we visited and the place was full, which is a good sign. One of our party had a curry, which was classified as mild, but was quite hot. It was very nice but hotter than expected. Others in the party had fish and chips or falafel burger, all of which were well cooked and presented and tasty. Deserts were very good. The ice creams and sorbets were full of flavour and the gin and lime custard tart was excellent.

Such a warm friendly place in a sleepy village. Log burning fire and board games. Serves food, real ale, everything else you'd expect, and a good selection of spirits. Even sells locally made paintings and prints. Very friendly chatty staff, and patrons to match.

Stopped here various times for lunch whilst travelling up to the coast, lovely unspoilt pub, food always good with friendly and excellent service.

What a lovely friendly pub. Staff were fantastic so helpful I unfortunately got bitten yesterday and had no antihistamine treatment with me. The lovely ladies sorted it out. Had a really good Sunday lunch and then onto the pharmacy. Sorted. Thankyou for going out of your way to help me. And your food and all off you so helpful and friendly. We will go back this week again to eat. X
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.

We booked at table at tge Chequers Lovely looking pub from outside Bar Service was good But pint was off, end of barrel it was promptly replaced - these things happen We ordered a Burger and Lasagne Burger was OK the chips with it excellent Lasagne was dried up abd unedible - there have been other reviews about this In short a disappointing experience There are other better pubs in the area They need a new chef

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.
