An exciting opportunity to take on a recently refurbished, food‑led community inn with a strong mix of wet, food and letting room income, located in a beautiful rural village close to Darlington.
The Chequers Inn sits at the heart of Dalton‑on‑Tees, a popular village setting with strong local support and excellent connectivity via the A1 and Scotch Corner. The business also benefits from its proximity to Croft Motor Racing Circuit, which hosts regular race meetings and events, supporting both food and accommodation trade throughout the year.
Dalton‑on‑Tees is a picturesque rural village set on the banks of the River Tees, offering countryside living while remaining close to major transport links and employment centres. Darlington is only a short drive away, providing access to rail links, shopping, and amenities. Nearby Croft Motor Racing Circuit is a major regional attraction, hosting events throughout the season and driving regular demand for food, drink, and accommodation, particularly at weekends.
Following a full internal and external refurbishment, The Chequers Inn presents a smart, welcoming environment with facilities that support a well‑rounded hospitality offer:
- Large dining room and bar area served from a central bar
- Approximately 50–60 dining covers, well suited to a strong food offer
- Rear beer garden, plus additional seating to the front of the pub
- Customer car park
- 5 en‑suite letting rooms, all trading well with consistently good occupancy
The layout lends itself to both relaxed dining and casual drinks, while the rooms add an important, reliable additional income stream.
The private accommodation consists of two small bedrooms, a lounge, an office, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
