The pub has now been re-opened as "The Chequers Smoke House" - a food-orientated establishment.

This pub is currently closed and its future uncertain.

Really really dull place to be in unfortunately. People only go there when the other pubs are shut on a Saturday and they need booze. It's just dark and depressing, seems very metal/ gothic which isn't inviting at all really. Needs revamp and friendlier people behind the bar
|
No real ale. Pretty rough interior that needs updating. Trying to think of a good thing to say about it...... there is a dart board?

This pub was rubbish. Sorry, but when you're next door to the Wychwood brewery and the only 'beer' was Theakston's.

This pub lacks atmoshpere and decent beer.
The "Cowboy Western" style saloon doors leading into the toilets are worth a look though!

i must have gone on the wrong nights. have been here a few times as the reviews sounded good, but at 9pm on a saturday night there weree more staff than customers.
i found the landlord totally pretentious and loved the sound of his own voice but his wife seemed friendly, unfortunately im not a regular so didnt get spoken too

Top Boozer, lively place to be on a weekend with the bonus of not being full of pretentious idiots like most of the other pubs in town.
Top marks
