The Chequers

A country pub serving home cooked food with cozy rooms in the heart of Norfolk

About

The Chequers is a traditional English pub set in the heart of the picturesque village of Wimbotsham, just a few miles from the town of Downham Market. This family-run pub dates back to the 17th century, has maintained its original characterful features, with oak-beamed ceilings and a cosy fireplace. Newly paved flooring in the front of the pub, which overlooks the village green, provides the perfect spot for drinking or dining in the warmer summer months. Whether you’re looking to stop by for a local ale and a home cooked meal or to rest up in one of our rooms, we are proud to offer friendly hospitality to all who visit us.
