The Chequers in Breckland

If your going for a drink its a beautiful set up although they had nothing on tap so its only bottled available.They don't do the roast and just have a couple of options for children and not even on the menu. They did take the children's order first so they got theirs nice and quickly but they had completely finished eating before the adults got theirs. Which had to have taken ages at the speed the children eat.The pan fried fish was definitely oven cooked and so salty that none of the adults could stomach them and I like salt. The mixed veg side was green beans with some nuts thrown on top ...So sad because the people were lovely and the place was beautiful but the person cooking was definitely not the chef that set the menu but they are trying their best Im sure but the food seemed like what you would get at a supermarket to reheat.The best part was the beautiful fresh cut flowers on the table.

What a gem to find just down the road from home. Thought it was just a gastro pub but is more than that. The most beautiful terrace outside, traditional tudor interior. And the food....delicious. staff couldn't have been more helpful. We will definitely go back...more than once. Loved it.

Just returned from a very pleasant evening of ‘tapas on the terrace’. Astounded to find they weren’t fully booked this evening. Lovely hosts, lovely food and lovely surroundings - what’s not to like?! We will definitely be returning - maybe with pooch for lunch next time as we just found out they are dog friendly too!

Initially you could be impressed by the professional looking website and so I do not understand how someone can spend so much time, money and effort creating this charming pub and then attempt to serve such atrocious food from it.Our table of 4 ordered starters of 1 x carrot and coriander soup, 1 x ham terrine and 2 x goats cheese bruschetta. As this meal formed part of a day out to celebrate a birthday we were reluctant to complain, myself included, so I did not say anything when my starter consisted of sliced goats cheese on supermarket sliced bread with a pot of orange coloured chutney. It was all wrong but edible at least.There were 3 main course options on offer on the day; fish pie, pork and beef meat balls or traditional Sunday roast beef. We all opted for the roast beef. You may think if a food outlet only has 3 dishes on their menu and only 2 other diners in the whole building they would be able to produce all three dishes exceedingly well, but no. We were served an afront to mankind. The plates of (and I use this word in its broadest sense) food, consisted of under cooked potatoes, which had a thin patchy, just browned skin on them. Some of which were still raw in the centre, 2 small Yorkshire puddings (I have no problem with ready made Yorkshires but don’t drench them in watery onion liquid), several slices of the toughest most over-cooked beef I have ever attempted to cut, some carrots scattered with fennel seeds and lastly some French beans. The beans were fine but It is so depressing to say the star player of the Sunday roast was a French bean.I could not eat mine and shared my feelings on the matter with the lady who served us. She disappeared for a moment, presumably spoke with the person responsible and returned to take the plates away. She told us she would not charge us for the main course but in the same sentence said “anyway I just tried one of the potatoes and it was fine”. I thought this a strange comment to add into an indefensible position.At this point I thought it best to just pay for our wine and starters and chalk it up to experience. Now this last part is totally my fault - I should have checked the bill. I will upload my receipt to show people if I can but drinks aside I was charged £58 for 4 small starters which works out as £14.50p per dish. I did email 1066 to give them a chance to explain why I was over-charged but no reply and no surprise.I would like to add that it takes a lot for me to write a negative review and it was being overcharging that pushed me to this point. I’m a believer in supporting independent businesses but this cuts both ways. Customers have a right to know who deserves their custom.

Myself, Mrs and 7week old son stopped here on our way through to great yarmouth for the day. First of all - the owners where lovely, talkative, polite, accommodating etc.Welcomed us VERY well and Took care of us the best they could.We ordered the ploughmans light bite.... and the home.made chutney that I believe the gentleman makes *WAS DELICIOUS 🤭1000% will return all beit a drive from where we live in Lincolnshire (be a well worth drive)Lovely place.:)

We had a crisp and sandwich lunch platter pre ordered for 8 adults and 6 kids under 6yrs. The sandwiches that were produced had no thought put in them in regard to the little ones eating them. Far too much mustard in the ham and beef ones for younger palates, and a few adults. The crisps were just a bags of Walkers ‘ready salted’ put on the table and it was all incredibly basic and very disappointing. To top things off we were charged ***£120*** for the pleasure!Having worked in hospitality all over the country and in fact the world, I can’t for the life of me work out how this price was justifiable.

Delicious afternoon tea in a smart venue. Glass of Prosecco offered. Asked for a doggy bag to take some treats home.

Very basic food. Expensive for what it is...If you want some sophisticated food, don't go there!Also be aware EU people are not welcomed, especially French customers!

Very strong smell of Gammon coming this place at present - And apparently you can also have your cake and eat it but not if its French!

Loved the food and the setting. We both had the crab with avocado as the starter, followed by sea bass, accompanied by pigpul de pinet. Loved every mosel od food and every drop of wine.
