The Chequers Inn - Erewash

This restaurant is exceptional! The service provided by the energetic and friendly bartender, Summer, made our experience even more wonderful. She is a true delight and her exceptional customer service skills will take her far in her career.

My dogs i were made very welcome. I didn't have time to eat but overall a lovely experience! Thanks team!

We attempted to order drinks at the front of the pub, but were greeted by the hostess' two energetic dachshunds, causing a spill on the way back to our table. Despite explaining our situation regarding our reactive dog, the hostess insisted that her dogs had free rein. She suggested that our dogs would be cooler inside, but we preferred to stay outside in the shade. When we inquired about eating our pre-booked meal at one of the tables in front of the pub, we were denied due to the potential rowdiness. Feeling puzzled by our experience, we followed the advice of fellow campers and visited another dog-friendly pub nearby. We were impressed by the warm welcome, atmosphere, and delicious food. On our way back to the campsite, we passed by the first pub and realized that the reason we were not allowed to eat in front was because the hostess had reserved the tables for a group of men. It also seemed that the Harris hawk on the premises was not given proper attention or exercise during our stay.

What a wonderful experience this place was, we were booked on the site behind the pub with a group of fantastic friends . The people running the pub and site could not have been more welcoming. The food on both nights was fantastic and as the previous pictures show, please remember though to order in time it's worth it. Lovely inside and brilliant beer garden. Would highly recommend a stop here both caravans and motorhomes are welcome and only 10 minutes from the M1 for peace and quiet

Brilliant food and great service. Atmosphere spot on too.
