Traditional English pub serving homemade food and real ales. In the summer you can enjoy a cold drink in the picturesque beer garden or in winter cosy up next to the roaring open fires. The Chequers Inn is truly one of England's old traditional Inns with an history that can be traced back to 1540. Toby jugs and all manner of antiques adorn walls and ceilings in this busy olde-worlde environment, with its low beams and cosy alcoves, or you may wish to sit on the terrace amongst the hanging baskets and flowers. Serving ales such as Timothy Taylors Landlord, Theakstons Best and Dark Smooth, Ledsham Sessions (by the Brown Cow Brewery), John Smiths and Leeds Best. Wines by the glass include Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Merlot and a comprehensive wine list. Food served includes snacks and sandwiches, starters main courses, desserts and coffees- all made on the premises by chef David Siddall. Food served Monday-Saturday 12noon-9pm and 12noon-6pm Sundays. We also have a separate restaurant and marquee where we can offer weddings, functions and business meetings/lunches- please email or call Chris to book or enquire.

Our power has been restored and we're now open. Unfortunately it's going to take the kitchen a while to prep everything from scratch so we're serving a very limited menu until we're back up to speed. Normal service resumed tomorrow! 🫡🍽️

25/10/2026

With power lines down due to the high wind we have no power and have been forced to close with immediate effect. All bookings are unfortunately cancelled, we will update all guests when we have more information from
Northern power.

🍽️ PROPER PUB FOOD, MADE FOR SHARING! 🥧🥩🍰

We love nothing more than putting on a good old-fashioned pub spread!

From generous sharing platters and beautiful cuts of steak to hearty homemade pies and trays of delicious desserts, we’re all about proper, traditional pub food, made with care and served in abundance. ❤️

One of the best things about being an independent pub is that we’re not tied to set menus or one-size-fits-all buffet packages.

We can make your buffet your own!

Whether you’ve got a family celebration, birthday, special occasion or just fancy getting everyone together over some fantastic food, we’re always happy to hear your ideas.

Got something particular in mind? A favourite dish you’d love to see on the table? Or perhaps something a little different that requires specially sourced ingredients? Just ask us!

We can source ingredients to order, discuss your ideas and put together something that really suits your occasion.

Because sometimes, nothing beats a table full of proper homemade pub food and good company. 🍻

📩 Drop us a message or pop in for a chat — we’d love to help you plan your perfect spread!

A few more reasons to come hungry to The Chequers… 🍽️

There’s been plenty happening in our little kitchen lately, with some lovely new dishes making their way onto the menu.

Seasonal ingredients, good honest cooking and a few fresh ideas alongside the familiar favourites. Just the sort of food we love serving here at The Chequers.

Whether it’s a leisurely lunch, an evening out or simply an excuse to get together over some good food, we’d love to see you.

We’re a small pub with limited tables, so booking ahead is always recommended, particularly at weekends.

See you soon! 🍷

A Little Notice from The Chequers Inn

We will be closed on Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th October while essential work takes place to replace some of our bay windows.

This is a significant job, and we’re taking advantage of the relatively dry weather to get it completed before winter sets in.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. We look forward to welcoming you back on Wednesday!

The Chequers Inn Team.

The seasons are changing so our menu changes with them.

Our new Autumn & Winter menu has arrived, bringing with it the richer, more comforting flavours of the months ahead — new dishes shaped by the season, alongside the kind of pub classics that always have a place at the table.

As ever, provenance matters to us. We work with trusted suppliers and source locally wherever we can, letting good British produce and the seasons guide what comes out of our kitchen.

Come in, settle by the fire and discover what’s new. Our daily specials are updated each morning to truly make the best of availability, operating alongside our house menu they offer something for all tastes.

And with Christmas bookings already busy, keep an eye out — our festive menus will be arriving imminently.🍁🔥🎄🍂

And just like that, the last Bank Holiday of the summer is done… ☀️🍻

A few photos of some of the lovely food that came out of our little kitchen over the weekend.

A massive thank you to everyone who came down, ate, drank and spent part of their Bank Holiday with us. It was great to see so many familiar faces — and plenty of new ones too. ❤️

A little reminder that our kitchen (and our team!) is small, so there’s only so much we can do at once. If you’re hoping to eat with us, particularly at weekends, please do book ahead where you can. It really helps us make sure we can look after everyone properly.

It feels like we’re starting to say goodbye to summer now… but we’re not too sad about it. 🍂

There’s something rather nice about what comes next — cooler evenings, changing menus, seasonal produce, fires lit again and plenty more happening at The Chequers.

Thanks for a cracking summer Bank Holiday.

See you at the bar 🍺

We apologise for the inconvenience but safety must prevail, we expect normal service to resume tomorrow.
