The Chequers Inn

  We were spending the weekend around Sevenoaks and needed somewhere for dinner. Having checked the local pubs and restaurants we decided on The Chequers Inn and left stuffed and delighted!... read more /> Liz warmly welcomed us, made us feel right at home and was very attentive. Despite there only being Liz and the chef and her being rushed off her feet the service was superb and the food delightful.

They are operating a limited menu which changes daily, we had the"real" chicken and mushroom pie along with the fish and chips and both were absolutely delicious.
Special mention for Liz, she was a star! Ready to chat to everyone all while serving all the food and drinks to all the customers on her own.

We'll definitely be returning when in the area again and recommend everyone to pay a visit! Top marks!

  We have just returned to Cumbria after a 4 night stay in my county of birth, Kent! We were staying at Sevenoaks as I wanted to visit the area where... read more my ancestors lived. Their name just happened to be Heaver and although I knew they had lived in Cobham I wanted to visit Heaverham. We decided to eat at The Chequers and didn’t regret it at all. From the moment we walked through the door we were made really welcome. The lady, maybe the landlady?, chatted as though we’d visited many times before and we had a good laugh when we slipped up by ordering the Disco fries as a starter between us. The portion is huge, even for a main course, but it was so difficult not to eat them all, they were yummy, as we’d chosen fish and chips to follow. We rate it as one of the best pub fish and chips we’ve had, along with mushy peas and plenty of homemade tartar sauce. The only downside was the fact that we didn’t even have room left for ice cream.
If only we didn’t live so far away. Can’t even think of a pub similar around here that would provide such good service and food. Here’s hoping we can return one day.
Thank you to all the staff

  I can't thank Dan & the team at the Chequers enough for the food & service provided recently. The dishes were innovative, tasty & plentiful. At what was a very... read more difficult time, Dan & the team provided a seamless service which was appreciated by all.

The menu was oustanding & delivered on time & still hot

Well done 5*

  Food was awesome. Definitely the best roast dinners around the gravy is to die for. Great service. Highly recommend

  We have visited a few times since pubs re-opened but have chosen to sit outside and have always been more than happy with the service provided. The family have agreed... read more that the vegan burgers and hot dogs have been sublime, fish and chips absolute perfection and roast dinners amazing!
Today was the first time we sat inside and we felt completely as ease with the Covid measures in place. The roast was absolutely fantastic, even the picky little one ate as much as she could fit in. I will definitely save room for the lemon panna cotta on our next visit!
There is a good sized free car park and the garden is brilliant in the summer - we were lucky enough to come over when there were bands playing in the on warmer days.

  From the minute we entered the service was so warm and friendly . The food was excellent and for once everyone was completely happy with their food . I would... read more definitely recommend it’s in a lovely setting and we wish them a really successful summer. It was so warm and cosy inside a pub for all seasons .

  Superb pub and great location.
Wonderful large garden, plenty of parking and amazing staff, our server, Phoebe, was especially amazing.
Food is fantastic, definitely worth a detour.

Today, my wife and I decided to order a 3 course late lunch which comprised of prawn cocktail for starters with focaccia, roast beef and turkey accompanied by 5 vegetables, roast potatoes and a humungous yorkshire pudding served with lashings of gravy. And for dessert we had homemade lemon meringue with ice cream (although we have not eaten dessert yet, too full up). We agreed a time of 1630 for collection and Danny came out to the car to deliver.
We then put it in the oven to keep warm before plating up (not the ice cream obviously). The package even came with two chocolates to have with our coffee after.
My wife's comments "that was the best roast I have ever had".
Well done Danny and thankyou so much for such a wonderful meal.

  First meal out since new restrictions came in... I commend all restaurant staff working under these circumstances; it can’t be easy but no one complains.

Delightful roast (no... read more photos this time) still a lovely atmosphere. Well done all. Full & content thankyouverymuch

  Sadly kitchen was understaffed the last couple times we visited which meant we were unable to order food and enjoy the nice garden in the sunny weather
