A touch of
culture
You're less than a mile away from Belvoir Castle, a historic gem
with beautiful gardens and woodland trails.
The four gorgeous rooms at the Chequers are located in the converted old stables next door to the original 17th-century farmhouse, so it's just a short stroll to the dining room and the bar.
The loft suite is the plum choice - fully refurbished in 2020, it's a vast space with sloping eaves, shades of pale greys, purples and pinks, with Matthew Williamson designer wallpaper, and its own immaculate wet room.
There are three smaller doubles downstairs, all with king-size or super-king beds, shower rooms and vibrant patterned wallpaper. Save room for breakfast - the full English is legendary with eggs from the inn's own hens.
With a daily roster of impeccably put-together starters and mains to a nine-strong 'pub classics' menu, diners can choose from a wide selection - expect hearty mains and delicious desserts.
The main challenge for diners is the chargrilled rib of beef for two, served on a groaning board with béarnaise sauce and all the trimmings - it's near-legendary round these parts. There's plenty of Derbyshire beef dishes on the menu, including pies, burgers and dripping on toasted brioche - a firm favourite - plus local game in season, fish dish of the day, and excellent lunchtime sandwiches.
Four real ales including Lincolnshire's own Tom Wood's Best and brews from Wentworth Brewery in Rotherham, plus craft beers and lagers from some very surprising places indeed. The chalkboard cocktail menu is cosmopolitan and seasonal too, from perfect Manhattans to Bakewell Tart Martinis. Oenophiles are also well served: 100 bins in the cellar, more than 30 vintages by the glass and a separate Champagne list - even the choice of Cognacs and boutique gins runs to double figures.
The Drawing Room is a stylish dining room which can also accommodate private parties for up to 24 guests. It can be combined with the Snug for up to 35 guests and is also perfect for informal buffet parties for up to 45 guests. The Garden Room behind the main bar offers private dining for up to 16 guests on one large table, and French doors lead into the garden, perfect for summer drinks before dinner.
