| Drove past on bank holiday 25th May with a view to lunch and a pint, unfortunately the pub has closed. There is a notice with regrets on the front door thanking the regulars for their support over the years. Went to the Three Horseshoes at Bighton instead. PESMITH - 28 May 2009 11:29 |
| A local held together by the locals. Landlady doesn't want to know, shame really as it's got real potential. Desperately needs new owners BigTruck - 28 Oct 2008 12:11 |
| Good roadside country pubs are becoming as rare as rocking horse sh*t these days. This is a real shame as pubs like the chequers deserve to succeed. Stopped in for a jar and lunch. Hog's Back T.E.A. in excellent shape. The pub is clean and has a 'higglety pigglety' feel to it. Different place settings at different tables, that sort of thing. Its like sitting in someone's home, albeit a big home. A very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Staff very friendly, and the food excellent and reasonably priced. (I have a weakness for potato skins) Highly recommended as a stopping point when chasing trains on the Watercress Line. Its the kind of pub I wish I had as a local. Zaphod - 21 Jul 2008 09:06 |
| Visited it Easter Sunday, lunchtime. Quiet, with perhaps a dozen people all told - and one or two were family, toddler/baby etc. We ate there - good food. Scampi was well cooked and the liver and bacon casserole was excellent. The Ringwood Best Bitter was fine, and the Strongbow in good order. Only had halves, as we were driving. The decor is basic - but none the worse for that. They have three dartboards, at least, which indicates to me that there is still considrable call for darts at the Chequers. They advertise a monthly disco, too. Although this pub seems to be struggling [another nearby, the Anchor, a bit south on the A31, is now closed and boarded up], it was pleasant. Would certainly revisit this pub if passing that way. A seven. railtracksurvivor - 23 Mar 2008 16:03 |
