The Chequers Inn

The earliest reference to building on this site is 1591, when George Marples and his family resided here. It was one of George's children, Jacob, who we believe opened and alehouse here. The present Inn was built in 1735 by Thomas Marples, but it wasn't until the late 18th Century that the Inn became of some prominence.

Our menu changes throughout the year to reflect the seasons and our Pub Classics Menu consists of favourites such as 'Proper' steak and local ale pie. Being located in the Peak District we are fortunate to have some fantastic food & drink suppliers right on our doorstep which we actively use. During the day we also offer a comprehensive sandwich, salad & small plate menu, served inside and outside.

Our 7 bedrooms are cosy, comfortable and characteristically furnished, comprising of Twin, Double, Four Poster and Superior rooms. All rooms are en-suite and equipped with hairdryer, tea and coffee facilities, free wi-fi and flat screen TV. Several of our rooms are large enough to accommodate an additional childrens bed or travel cot.

The Countryside Alliance, in conjunction with the British Association for Shooting and Conservation's 'Taste of Game' campaign is running The Great British Game Week. We are proud to support this initiative and to offer diners the unique opportunity to experience dishes they may not usually try. Our special menu has been created by our Head Chef Richard Spencer and his team and uses only the finest quality game sourced from within Derbyshire.
