This place is brilliant 🤩!!!
We have been here at least 5 times and every time they have passed with flying colours of how good it is . 
Very helpful Staff and the Carvery is delicious, one thing that could be better if we got lamb when we were there , just try to book a early lunch or a dinner for a chancer to get lamb ! 

Sunday Carvery  

Popped in for lunch with my wife and two children. Staff were happy to accommodate despite a busy afternoon of reservations. Food reasonably priced, plenty of options and portion sizes generous. I had the pie of the day (Turkey and stuffing), it was delicious! Kids meals looked great and service was perfect.  Highly recommend for tourists looking for a trusted place to eat with great wholesome food.  

Lunchtime pop in.

We stayed at the Chequers Inn at the start of a week long vacation. The room was lovely , comfortable bed, large fluffy towels and so well kitted out including tea making equipment. There was a great choice at breakfast which was included in the reasonable room rate. We also ate in the restaurant and had a very good meal. A couple of minor  niggles ( the regular ham egg and chips was modest in size and the “proper custard” was a thin and far from “proper” , However the spiced apple and pear crumble was spectacularly good).  The service we received during our stay was first class. A perfect start to our vacation on the Isle of Wight.

First Class accommodation.

10/10 for our sirloin steak. Cooked to absolute perfection. Great portion size, great friendly service. Couldn't fault anything with our meal, even the salad dressing. Highly recommended and will be coming again. Thank you for a truly tasty meal.

Steak lunch

Really can’t fault . Place has got better and better through what looks like a lot of effort
Every dish was great. Lovely staff, decent price.
Something for most tastes on menu and apparently I have to write 200 words which quite frankly is pathetic

Great

This is the place to visit for a very excellent dining experience, with a menu that gives you exactly what you have ordered, and unlike my visit to the Griffin at Godshill the portions my family and I had, of different dishes were not only well cooked, but were also filling and nothing was left on the plates and dishes but faint traces of each person's choice. Although the place was quite busy the staff were very attentive and made all of us feel that they were there to ensure that our dining in their establishment was as pleasant and relaxed. As my family had come to the IOW for a short holiday, from where they live in Dagenham, after our not seeing each other since 2019, and with my Granddaughter having just found she'd passed all her exams with very high marks, my niece and I had recommended this establishment to have a family meal and to celebrate her exam results. Unlike the meal experienced at the Griffin in Godshill the whole tail Scampi were whole tails and not broken small fragments. Other item such as Sirloin Steak, Calimari, and  a large Burger made everyone surprised at the amount of food, which Gordon Ramsay would have found unable to fault. Service was quick and efficient, even when more drinks were required all it took was a look at one of the waiting team to have the come to ask what was required, and brought within a couple of minutes. It was a struggle to finish of the desserts, which rounded off a very pleasant family meal. Normally my family go abroad on holiday, but now plan to come back to the IOW again next year,  to discover all of the other attractions they didn't get chance to look at, plus the Chequers will be visited again. 

Meals that are well cooked and presented. 

The food was absolutely amazing. I had a cheese soufflé starter with parsnip purée and was delicious. The second course was a cannon of lamb with mashed potato and lamb sauce with braised leeks.

Visit with family highly recommended

Very nice tasty and well presented food

We visited The chequers when staying near by. We ended up eating here 2 nights out of our 4 night stay. Wonderful food and service, plus a kids play area that would rival a paid for kids play area. Easy to use app to order if eating outside and food arrived within 15 minutes of ordering. Best family place we have eaten at after 3 stays in the IOW 

Wonderful family dinner

Probably the best lunch during our 2 week holiday. Superb pub ambience and great locally produced food. In addition it has a superb garden area with extensive play area for the kids - a must for visitors with young families 

Family lunch 

First meal after the lockdown . Still great. They have someone in the kitchen that really knows how to cook. Had a steak as seemed like the thing to have after 3.5 months ! Really high quality and the Stilton sauce was mint. Home made pork spring rolls Also pretty special . One of the best on the island . Great staff . Good to be back
