The food was served very quickly and was lovely and hot, as well as being delicious. The menu was varied and had dishes which we don’t often see on the menu of gastropub venues. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. It was our first trip to West Sussex and we were glad we had chosen The Chequers Inn.

Delicious Sunday roast. Restaurant was packed. Didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive, although the table service was rather slow and could have been more attentive.
