Chequers Inn, Darlington - Darlington

RUN THE CHEQUERS INN, DALTON-ON-TEES, NEAR DARLINGTON Community Food Agreement

Overview

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.

Combining a successful food business with five established letting rooms, The Chequers Inn offers an excellent opportunity for an experienced hospitality operator to take on a well-invested business with multiple income streams and strong foundations for future growth.

The Business

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.

Currently trading at approximately £11,000 per week (gross), the business benefits from a healthy blend of food, drink and accommodation sales, providing strong foundations for the next operator to build upon.

The Opportunity

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.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for operators who are passionate about delivering exceptional guest experiences and becoming an active part of the local community.

Whether you're hands-on with food yourself or focused on leading a strong team, you'll have the drive, hospitality expertise and commercial awareness to build on the pub's existing momentum. Strong standards, great people skills and an eye for growth opportunities will be key to success.

What's in it for you?

• 26% share of weekly sales (excluding VAT) plus a guaranteed annual retained sum of £35K (released weekly).


• Incentive bonuses based on business performance and standard audits.


• Low ingoing costs, starting with just a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost.


• Accommodation included with most bills covered, except the council tax & TV Licence.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

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.
