You want to visit - You have this in

The Old Chequers is a country pub with dining. A modern twist on a family run pub with traditional log burner and a warm welcome to all.

The Old Chequers is child and dog friendly (for well behaved ones!). There is a rear enclosed patio area - a sun trap in good weather, and bench seating to the front opposite the village green. There is a large car park to the front and access for disabled is good being all on one level.

The Old Chequers serves 2 regular real ales and a guest ale when demand is good and a good selection of lagers, ciders & wines. Booking recommended at weekends. May close early in evenings if quiet. Current landlord plans to offer regular music nights, featuring bands including his own group.

Opening hours:

Mon: 1700-2000

Tue: closed

Wed-Sat: 1200-1500, 1700-"late"

Sun: 1200-2000
