The Chequers Inn is a recently refurbished village inn located in the attractive village of Dalton-on-Tees, just outside Darlington. Benefiting from a strong local reputation, a loyal customer base and a location close to the A1 and Croft Circuit, the pub enjoys a healthy mix of community trade and visitors throughout the year.
The Chequers offers a welcoming bar and dining space accommodating approximately 50-60 covers, alongside attractive outdoor seating and customer parking.
A key strength of the business is its five successful en-suite letting rooms, which provide valuable additional revenue and help create a balanced trading model across food, drink and accommodation.
The business benefits from a healthy blend of food, drink and accommodation sales, providing strong foundations for the next operator to build upon.
Following recent refurbishment, The Chequers is perfectly positioned for its next chapter. This is an opportunity for an operator, couple or hospitality team to take on a characterful village inn with established trade, multiple income streams and genuine growth potential.
The strongest opportunities lie in building further on the pub’s food reputation, driving occupancy across the letting rooms, increasing local engagement and maximising the pub’s appeal as both a community favourite and destination venue for visitors to the area.
Run The Chequers Inn and build on the success of a thriving village inn with food, accommodation and community appeal already at its heart. If you’re ready to take on a pub partnership opportunity with strong foundations, multiple revenue streams and exciting growth potential, enquire today.
