There has been a pub on the site, next to Ickenham pump, for 400 years. In 1759 Stephen Salter bought the Chequers. The Salter Brewery merged with the Cannon Brewery which later merged with Ind Coope. As the more recent name suggests it was originally a coaching house and now boasts a warm atmosphere thanks to the real fire and friendly welcome, even if the ceilings could be a bit higher and service could be a bit quicker. Quiz nights are Tuesdays and Sundays. Since being sold to Stonegate in 2010 this former Ember Inn offers six mostly regular real ales. Grade II listed. Refurbished March 2018.
