Chequers Restaurant is located in a former pub near the Royal Cinque Golf Course. The pub has been turned into a rather lovely Restaurant and Cookery school. We first spotted it while walking from Sandwich to Deal. Our original intention was to time our walk so we could have lunch in Deal. However with at least an 1 hour or so left to walk to Deal we started to spot the signs for Chequers – 1 mile away, then 1/2 mile away. So we thought we would check it out. Wow, what a treat for a couple of foodies to find in the middle of nowhere, it was like spotting an Oasis in the Desert. We have popped in for lunch a couple of times now and its always been a delight. Lots of locally sourced food influenced by Chef Pieter van Zyl’s South African background. On our last visit we ordered 3 small dishes to share. Beautiful Tempura prawns with Chef Pieter’s sweet chilli sauce (I keep ordering them when I visit because they are so good), Spanish Omelette and really tasty Cape Malay pickled fish along
Steph deserves nothing else but 5 stars! She is easy going, nothing is much of a problem. Steph’s kitchen is beautiful, nicely organized and pleasure to cook in! There is a beautiful beach nearby. We always enjoy our cooking experience and day out in Deal.
A pizza-making evening at The Chequers cookery school proved the perfect way to celebrate a friend's birthday. Most of us did not know one another and the making, cooking and eating gave us lots to talk and laugh about! And the Chequers team looked after us beautifully. It's the ideal way to bring together friends and family, and also a fun idea for a team-building or customer event.
