A no-nonsense chain pub with a menu of traditional British dishes and a family-friendly vibe.
The Chequers Inn dates back to the 17th century and is a former Choaching Inn, this Grade II Listed is surrounded by the green and pleasant fields of Hertfordshire.
This beautiful 17th century Grade II Listed thatched country pub, is perched on the hedgerow-lined St Albans Road, alongside Chequers Lane, and surrounded by the green and pleasant fields and woodland of Hertfordshire. Behind it, the old River Ver trickles tranquilly through the picturesque countryside and lush wetlands of the Ver Valley. Walkers can follow the Ver Valley Walk all the way to the Colne, near Watford.
With its rustic oak beams and cosy wood burners, it's ideal for fireside dining, while the large, leafy beer garden outside is an idyllic place to gather friends and family on lazy summer days. Visitors can get a real flavour of the past, especially when sampling the traditional pub food, delicious seasonal meals and Sunday roasts, served with a glass of fine wine or a perfectly pulled smooth cask ale.
