Nice little pub for a drink, (didn't have a meal)Be warned no matter what the sign says in the bar to ring the bell 🔔 for service, DON'T as it annoys the barmaid and you will be told off which we found amusing. However we had a good couple of hours in the pub and the beer 🍻 is good 👍👍

Have been a few times also to gig there, we were there a couple of weeks ago, and thanks to the chequers for paying for bands! , they want to become known as a music venue, so folks come along and support the them! It's a great night out, the back room is nice and big for both band and a few punters, and dancing! Nice staff, great location, even parking outside! Come on down!

It's a pretty standard pub-grub menu but all the food is freshly cooked and everything we ordered was delicious and well presented. The beer was well kept and the prices reasonable.

Really disappointing Mothers day lunch. Service was awful. We had to ask for menus then, when no one came to take our order, had to ask if we could order. Took over an hour for the food to come and we had 2 little ones with us. We ended up buying bags of crisps because they were so hungry. The beef was 1 thick lump that was tough and unedible, the vegetables were mushy and clearly microwaved and the gravy was cold. Wouldn't go back

Where to start... booked a table for 10 of us for a birthday Sunday lunch, what a disaster, we were put in the dusty back room with stacked up furniture, freezing cold even though the heating was on?  …

7 of us waited ages for food when pub was almost empty. Food was somehow burnt, cold and pretty awful. Worst food I've had in years.

Last weekend at The Chequer Inn in Steyning was a blast. From trying their house ale to exploring their diverse beer selection, every sip was a delight. The lively atmosphere and friendly staff made for a memorable night out. Whether you're a beer aficionado or just looking for a good time, The Chequer Inn won't disappoint.

Shockingly slow. Waited 2 hours for 2 dinners. There was apparent chaos with fawlty towers type approach from staff, who were trying but really couldn’t care less. We asked if we could skip dessert we had already paid for as we needed to leave but staff kept saying it won’t be long….Never again!
