The Chequers Inn, Fingest

Wow what a change ! I have been back and forth to this pub over many years and have to say it had "gone down" in terms of appearance, service and food especially over the last two years or so.. but now it is most definitely back ! The new landlord together with his wife and chef son certainly know how to run a good pub.. Their previous experience and attention to detail shine through...Great atmosphere, warm welcome ,cozy, lovely roaring fires, good beer, tasty home made food... try the home made chunky soup, fingest finger or lasagna..the home made brioche bread and butter pud is to die for ! On a more sombre note I also have to say that on a previous visit in early December 2010 my first impression was not too great, the barman was less than desirable but now that the tatty unkempt football loving and for ever interupting grumpy youth behind the bar has been surgically removed by the landlord it is even better..! I have to disagree with Deano in his earlier comments and say that perhaps he should re-visit and soon !
