Welcome To The Chequer’s Inn
The Chequers Inn is situated in the affluent picturesque village of Stanton by Dale and is easily accessed by both Derby and Nottingham Cities with a short 6 mile drive. Dating back to 1880 it is a traditional drinking establishment steeped in character and charm. It is ideally situated for some excellent walks and rambles. Our focus is on tradition providing “ a proper pub serving proper beer with proper homemade food and snacks for proper like-minded people”.
We are dog friendly and as recent as last year we were voted second in the whole of the East Midlands for the most “ Dog Friendly Pubs Award” narrowly missing out on a chance to win the title for this prestigious national award.

Really friendly and welcoming... Sunday dinner was spot on... beer is excellent.. Would recommend it 👌
Another delicious value for money Sunday roast at our local pub; three meats, fresh veg including tasty cauliflower cheese. Highly recommended.....book early. Fkanagans
We've only been once, but the Sunday lunch we had was well-cooked, well-presented and plentiful. The service and vibe were good too. We'd definitely come again.
Served a good quality tasting beer. Unfortunately were not serving food when we visited. Dog friendly.
A perfect village country pub... We stayed at the Chequers Inn on one of their five camper van and caravan pitches. Site facilities are good with gravel areas, bark parking areas and an area of grass with picnic table for each pitch. Each has electric hook-up, plus there is drinking water and waste water/chemical disposal. Toilets are at the rear of the pub and remain open all night. There are no showers, but we knew this in advance so knew what to expect (book via the Pitch-up website). What makes the stay so wonderful is the pub, the local villagers and the welcome given by everyone. Food and drink is first-class (pre-order evening meals before arrival) and a cosy evening is guaranteed. If you get the chance to see and meet Ken, even better! Highly recommended and we are sure to stay again!
