The Chequers Inn

Inspector comments
"Confident cooking in characterful village inn."
Overview
A proper village local with flagstones, oak beams, chunky wooden tables, open fires and well-kept real ales on hand pump – that's what has kept The Chequers in business since the 15th century. A skilful kitchen keeps the food department in tune with modern tastes, with no pretensions, just bang-on-the-money pub classics and more modern ideas with a clear French influence.

About the area
Divided from East Sussex back in 1888, West Sussex has a variety of landscapes and coastal scenery, but it is the spacious and open South Downs with which the county is most closely associated. There are plenty of walking routes in the South Downs National Park, cycling routes by the sea or visitors can explore the pretty town of Arundel with its historic castle and buildings
