The Chequers Inn is situated in the affluent picturesque village of Stanton by Dale and is easily accessed by both Derby and Nottingham Cities with a short 6 mile drive. Dating back to 1880 it is a traditional drinking establishment steeped in character and charm. It is ideally situated for some excellent walks and rambles. Our focus is on tradition providing “ a proper pub serving proper beer with proper homemade food and snacks for proper like-minded people”. 

We are dog friendly and as recent as last year we were voted second in the whole of the East Midlands for the most “ Dog Friendly Pubs Award” narrowly missing out on a chance to win the title for this prestigious national award.
