See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

The village is still dominated by the discreetly hidden Calke Abbey, now owned by the National Trust. The Chequers is that rare delight, an unspoilt village pub. Though chiefly built of stone the top few courses are brick but its age is given away by a large ingle-nook fireplace in the bar. There is an equally large saloon off the main bar and a third room to the rear of the pub. In keeping with the ultra-traditional nature of the pub the lavatories are in a separate building at the back of the pub. There is a pleasant sleeping area at the back between the pub and lavatories. Bar snacks made to order.
