The Chequers, Canewdon

A much more welcoming pub than its neighbour, The Anchor. The Landlord/Landlady do an excellent job of making you feel welcome, good range of real ales with the odd local one thrown in. The food is very good, excellent service and great value. Nice traditional open fire in the winter.

Only minor gripes would be the occasional dirty lipstick stained glass (get a new dishwasher!!) and they could do with cleaning the ale pumps out a bit more regular, I have had an slightly 'eggy' pint on more than one occasion. However when this has happened I have had no trouble exchanging for another pint of my choice.
