The Chequers, Hendon

This is a good traditional pub with friendly staff and has been my local for 20 years. I agree the 'real ale' is unpredictable, this is due to lack of use. People just having a few of pints on a Friday/Sat night and then not coming back until the following week doesn't give the beer the through-put it needs It can't compete with The Greyhound (which is only a few yards away) and is probably the best in Hendon for 'real ale'.
As for keg beer it can't be any better/worse than anywhere else.
The pub has recently brought in a good selection of bottled 'real ales' which has gone down well (literally)!
As regards the fence, it affords privacy, security, safety for children from the busy road and reduces the noise and dust from the same. All in all a good idea.
Sorry, if this sounds like an advertisement but I don't like my local being rubbished.
