The Chequers Inn, owned and run by the Holmes family since 1988, is a traditional rural pub situated in the heart of the Isle of Wight within the beautiful countryside. Our pub is the perfect place to eat, sleep and drink, and also perfect for just stopping by for a pint of traditional local ale. Our chefs are proud to support local suppliers to create the best dishes possible. We believe local producers and suppliers go hand in hand with a great kitchen team. Our menu is constantly evolving to coincide with the seasons and to showcase the best quality produce the Island has to offer. We pride ourselves on our ability to cater for a wide variety of allergies where possible. Please alert your server if you need to see the allergen list or need any advice.
