    I was exploring the deal area and looking for some lunch on bank holday Monday when I saw the sign…read morefor a restaurant. 2 miles later I arrived at the Chequers. I felt very welcome there - it's an informal dining experience in the restaurant cum cookery school. I half wondered whether I would be asked to make my own food! The South African chef, clearly has a passion for interesting flavours. My mixed salads, fish and chips were beautifully balanced. All washed down with a nice prosecco. My only gripe: being called, young man by the chef, but I probably should enjoy that while it lasts! All in all a delicious and pleasurable meal.

    From the owner: Our menu is a mix of modern English and South African dishes. Lunch and a la carte menus are…read moreavailable and we also welcome walkers, cyclists and passers by who would just like a drink, hot or cold, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. We love fresh, seasonal, wholesome food and we serve the food we like to eat! Every couple of weeks we hold a set-menu theme night. Among the most popular are the South African menu (our chef-proprietor comes from Cape Town) and the Spanish menu; but there are many more, from Moroccan to Starters and Desserts. our Facebook page is the best place to look, or just give us a call. Chequers also runs cookery lessons and seasonal food demonstrations. We also love homemade bread and have a Bread Club on Tuesday evenings - give us a call to find out more or to book.

    We recently holidayed down the road and were walking into Hythe having had nothing to eat yet and…read morethought this looked nice for coffee and pastries. The decor is minimal but not at all austere despite it being a large space, mostly because it's all wood and subtle colours. Real napkins on the tables! Along the whole length of one wall is an amazing wooden shelving unit / dresser with drawers. It was discovered out in the garage when the new people opened the restaurant and was made for the general stores which is what this building had been when it first opened. There are fantastic lamps on the walls - incandescent bulbs with gorgeous twisty filaments in metal cages. Lovely. Anyway, the menu was small but unusual. Once we had seen the menu we decided to have a little more than a croissant! I chose scrambled eggs with chives and cream; my partner had charred mackerel with pickled cherries. There was not a lot when it arrived but it was delicious and with a gorgeous creamy texture. It came with slices of soda bread toast, griddles with olive oil. The combination was delicious. My partner loved his fish, which looked not far off raw and loved the pickled cherries too. As this had been so good we decided to try the wonderfully named Dirty, filthy cheesecake! So named because they mix in another pungent cheese. Today it was stinking bishop! When it arrived as a small portion with currants and grapes and a red wine reduction it was delicious. Very firm and dense and with a definite taste of something pungent lurking in the background. Unusual. We decided to finish with a latte each and agreed afterwards that it was a top class cup of coffee. Service was very friendly, the cakes on the counter looked great, the cocktails sounded extra special and Dan is a bit of a cocktail whizz by all accounts. Also, the wine list was individual and had obviously been chosen thoughtfully. Sadly, as we still had our early morning hats on we didn't feel wine was appropriate ... We were very impressed and would have loved a return visit but due to the press of the weekend it didn't happen.

    Came here for lunch yesterday. Lovely little spot. Pleasant inside with service to match. The food…read moreis more than decent, interesting choices and good portion size. The lamb we had was tender and tasty, with a lovely salsa verde. The fishcake was fresh if a little light on salmon. My only gripe was the gnocchi which was fried and terrible really. The rest excellent, a lovely chocolate dessert. Also the soda bread with brown butter was superb. Great price at £15 for two courses. I'd love to come back and get stuck into the wine list which looked great. Very nice.

    Saltwood On the Green - This is the amazing cabinet from the time the premises was the General Store. The counter is a single piece of wood!
