Excellent beers good service and a friendly atmosphere would recommend
Good selection of beers helpful staff plenty of seating & outside area.
11/08/23 the two staff tending the bar were so polite and welcoming. Sometimes, I've felt unwelcome at the chequers, I do really like the pub regardless. But, the bar staff tonight have definitely made me feel more welcome than I did in the past.
What a hidden (ignored?) gem. Whist my wife ran the Tescos parking gauntlett, I wandered over the bridge into the Old Town. Despite driving around the area on an almost daily basis, I'd forgotten The Chequers existed, and it was on the way to try some other pubs that I spotted it and thought: Why not? And why not indeed? What a fantastic, reasonably priced establishment with a wide range of beers. I tried the excellent Mild, a rare treat, and only hope that the pubs "off the beaten track" location doesn't threaten it's future. After I had been summoned to enjoy (?) the delights of Stevenage, I wangled a revisit in order to further sample the wares on offer. Much busier upon my return, the Porter and Stout were in superb form and very reasonably priced. All too soon I received the call that the Old Lady had negotiated Tescos car park and was waiting outside. Shame. Kindred spirits, Pete and Robin were more than willing to lead me astray. Next time, I hope.
Stunning pub. Beautiful historic decor. Great relaxing atmosphere with very welcoming staff. Wonderful selection of guest ales and beers. This is a very highly recommended pub to visit. What more could you want :)
