Quick info
About Chinese Chequers
A Sunday buffet anchors the week at Chinese Chequers, a Chinese restaurant on Ipswich St in Stowmarket, running through starters, mains and desserts with a wide choice of dishes. The rest of the menu covers plates such as Black Bean Beef, Crispy Shredded Chilli Beef and Fried Noodles, alongside set meals for two, and the team offers suggestions for anyone choosing between them. Portions come large. Tables can be booked in advance, and groups marking an occasion can bring their own celebration cake, which the staff carry out to the table with candles lit. Other dishes that come up often include satay chicken skewers, hot and spicy beef rice and salt and pepper chicken. The doors open daily, and the town car parks are free on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
The Sunday buffet is what diners return to most, described as a fabulous choice covering starters, mains and desserts, with one large group marking a double birthday there and noting that an extra seat requested at short notice was sorted immediately and the cakes they brought came out with candles as asked. Close behind is the freshness of the cooking: reviewers single out the satay chicken skewers, hot and spicy beef rice and salt and pepper chicken, and several describe big portions and good value. Friendly, quick service comes up repeatedly, including a suggestion of dishes from the man at the front desk on a late-night visit and courteous advice on choosing options. The clear dissent comes from one diner who found the staff attentive but the food very poor and left halfway through the meal, saying they would not recommend it. Another notes the room was quite quiet, though the set meal for two was excellent.
