“ I was told by some locals that they had a disappointing experience but I had the complete opposite. I went on the fact I got to be with my family and thought I’d try it anyway. I had a really lovely meal. The food was delicious. I was looked after so well in what felt and warming Friday night. These guys aced it. I would strongly recommend you give it a go and see what you think. Because there were lots of us we shared lots of tasty starters and mains and I would definitely go back or take away. ”
“ Paulina and the rest of staff members are very nice. The food is amazing and the pub itself has very welcoming vibe to it. You can eat in the beautiful garden, in the conservatory or indoors. Just great 10/10 ”
“ Staff very friendly, very polite and helpful. The restaurant was very busy and the takeaways were maniac, but all the staff were so nice even though they were rushed off their feet. Food is excellent, great flavour and not greasy. Would recommend them for both eat in and takeout. ”
“ Great find a few village's away from us. Authentic Thai food done really really well. Flavour profiles great, nice level of heat in the appropriate dishes. Service was fantastic too, he had us eating out the palm of his hand. Only slight let down is the dessert menu - no Thai desserts. Would like to see some Asian options. Still 5 star overall Can't wait to return :) ”
“ First time takeaway order this evening and what a delight. Easy to order, lovely welcome on arrival and food ready to go. Food was absolutely delicious. Having been disappointed trying other recommendations for local Chinese food I am delighted to have found a really good restaurant where the food truly is amazing. I will certainly order a takeaway again and look forward to eating in at the restaurant. Well done team Chequers I will most definitely be back. ”
“ Absolutely worth a visit! Amazing Thai food in a gorgeous little pub. So so delicious, really fragrant, authentic Thai food, fresh and filling. Gorgeous little 16th century pub. As vegans we really appreciated the separate vegan menu with lots of tasty options! We found this place on a whim whilst travelling from Liverpool to Eastbourne and so grateful we did! ”
“ Visited this lunchtime to see what this old favourite was doing these days. I dropped in for a quick drink and stopped for what I can only describe as the best treat that my taste buds have had in a long time. Exquisite Thai food, beautiful presentation served by people who truly care about what they do. I would eat here every day if I could and can't wait to bring my family and friends to eat here. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. So glad that I took a little detour on the way home. My sincere thanks to you for fantastic service and the best lunch that I have had in a long time and at a very reasonable price!. Been back here and it just gets better. Everyone here really cares about what they do. ”
