THE CHEQUERS

HAINFORD

Housed in an 18th-century thatched pub, The Chequers in Hainford pairs historic charm with thoughtful, contemporary cooking. Exposed beams, stone floors and open fires set the scene for a menu built around fresh, seasonal and locally sourced produce, with the chefs bringing familiar dishes to life with an interesting twist. The bar celebrates local brewing too, only serving beers and ales produced within 50 miles. With a focus on quality food, local ingredients and attentive hospitality, The Chequers offers a dining experience that feels like a welcome escape from everyday life.
