Following their success at the recent Derbyshire Food & Drink Awards 2008/9, where The Chequers Inn was crowned “Pub of the Year”, the landmark inn has gone on to retain its AA Rosette for the fifth consecutive year. The Chequers has also been chosen to appear in the prestigious Michelin guide: “Eating out in Pubs 2009” and will be listed along side 560 of the “best dining pubs in Britain and Ireland”, for the fourth year running. The annual awards ceremony this year took place at Thornbridge Hall, near Ashford-in-the-Water and attracted 180 owners of bars, cafes, bistros, pubs and restaurants from all across Derbyshire.
Receiving their award from celebrity chef Brian Turner, proprietor Jonathan Tindall said: “We’re absolutely delighted that The Chequers has been yet again recognised at the food and drink awards where we were up against a very strong field. To be in the Michelin guide for a fourth year and to retain our AA Rosette for a fifth year has put the icing on the cake.”
Chequers is located in Froggatt, just a few minutes outside Sheffield.

Sheffield now has its very own Japanese Sushi restaurant, complete with a traditional ‘Kaiten’ conveyor belt which transfers dishes of food to waiting diners who make their selections as it goes round.
Located on Campo Lane in the city centre, Sakushi is presently open 6 days a week, but is due to open 7 days a week from November.
For novelty value alone, the restaurant should be a hit with diners who want to try something a little bit different, but it may also be able to stake a claim on the healthy eaters in town, as Sushi is held in much esteem as a low fat and nutritious meal. It is a staple food in Japan and the population there is said to have one of the longest life expectancies in the world.
