Chequer Inn

The Chequer Inn is a historic 15^th Century Coaching House located in the really picturesque village of Steyning. There’s a good mix of locals and passing trade here and all are made to feel as welcome as each other.
They have some fantastic ales on tap like Kings Old Ale and many guest beers make an appearance. The food menu is really big which some times can mean its not fresh produce but as far as I can tell, that’s not the case here. I had the lasagne and it was really well cooked and served with some really nice garlic bread.
They have a beautiful snooker table here (how many pubs have that!?) so if you are lucky enough to get a game, you can try and beat the record break of 80 which has stood there since 1922!

The Chequer Inn is a pub with accommodation in the centre of this small, and very attractive Sussex village.
The grade-​II listed pub dates from the 15^th century, and is a typical coaching inn. The mediaeval timber-​framed building was refaced in brick in the 18^th century, and the interior is a rambling warren rooms, with low beamed ceilings and wooden furniture.
Real ales on my visit included Wadworth’s 6X, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Gale’s HSB, Fuller’s London Pride and Dark Star’s ‘Summer meltdown’ — a fabulous, refreshing summer ale with a hint of spice.
There’s an extensive food menu, but I’ve not eaten here. Staff seemed friendly on our visit, too.
