Chequers Inn

The Chequers Inn began serving pints in 1540. It became famous for its six days licensing and refusal to open on a Sunday. This was because 200 years ago, the lady of the manor was passing the pub in her carriage, when a group of drunken farm workers verbally abused her.

Thankfully these days the pub is open seven days a week as the local farmworkers are a polite lot and don’t have to drink beer as a form of hydration. The Chequers is a proper pub, good local beer, excellent non-fussy food from the busy kitchen and a buzzing atmosphere from the locals and people passing through. Taken with my trusty mirrorless and a single off-camera speedlight for some good contrast and portability in tight spaces. Cheers!
