切克斯賓館(The Chequers Inn)

My biggest disappoin**ent on the Isle of Wight. I searched on the internet for the best carvery for a Sunday lunch and found the Chequers Inn at Rookley. Its claims to be the best and a range of reviews praising the quality and service going back several years plus positive comments on Open Table convinced me that this was the place to go. How wrong I was. The carvery looked promising but did not live up to expectations. The pork was overcooked and tough, the vegetables were totally overcooked and Yorkshire pudding was tough. To add to the general disappoin**ent, it was all cold. I would certainly not recommend this place.

34 in our family group distributed round the conservatory. The service was good and the staff friendly and patient. The food was a different story, we have visited the Chequers many times and it's our 'go to' restaurant for Sunday lunch and carvery. On this occasion there were quite a few mumblings and mutterings. The carvery was disappointing, complaints about the rock hard potatoes and tough yorkshire puddings mainly, I had the pork belly and cold black pudding, did someone forget to heat it or were they just not bothered? All in all a very average experience. Our large group was pre-booked so they knew we were coming, as the guy who set this venue up the family weren't too slow to let me know that they were not amused! Shame about the quality of the food, time for a change methinks.

love staying here and come back time after time rooms are comfortable love the big bath bed is so comfortable, staff are great ,food is lovely

We like the fact the advertised room, view and facilities were exactly as promised. With small number of rooms staff were attentive and friendly, and provided a service personalised to you. Breakfast amazing value, choice and quality will definitely visit again

A winter stay while visiting family on the island. Large clean and comfy room made for a very pleasant stay despite the cold outside. Excellent breakfast set us I for the day each morning served by the lovely Ally. Excellent pub food and cost old school pub bar enhanced the experience. Good value, good food, good accommodation and lovely staff, what is not to like.

Absolutely love this place, the room, the food both excellent and the view from the room outstanding.

Popped in for lunch with my wife and two children. Staff were happy to accommodate despite a busy afternoon of reservations. Food reasonably priced, plenty of options and portion sizes generous. I had the pie of the day (Turkey and stuffing), it was delicious! Kids meals looked great and service was perfect. Highly recommend for tourists looking for a trusted place to eat with great wholesome food.

A very busy country pub, stunning food including the breakfast. Noisy down stairs but could not hear a thing in the bedroom. Looking forward to staying again.

This place is brilliant 🤩!!! We have been here at least 5 times and every time they have passed with flying colours of how good it is . Very helpful Staff and the Carvery is delicious, one thing that could be better if we got lamb when we were there , just try to book a early lunch or a dinner for a chancer to get lamb !
