In the heart of the Sussex Weald, Wheeler's of St James's Chequers Inn is a quintessential 18th century Coaching Inn, nestled on the edge of Ashdown Forest on the old London to Brighton coach route.

Recently refurbished and re-launched by Marco Pierre White, The Chequers Inn is a genuine eating and drinking house which offers guests a stylish yet comfortable place to eat, drink and sleep and is surprisingly good value for money. Seasonal produce is sourced locally wherever possible, quality is paramount.

Our comfortable lounge which leads out onto the decked garden area, is a relaxing space to enjoy. The White & Sons Tap Room and Oyster Bar, with its roaring real fire on wintry nights, is the perfect place to sample a pint of real ale or a glass of wine, as well as the obligatory Oyster or a hearty soup.
