The pub is 400 years old & has been decorated to a high standard. Walkers & ramblers welcome and the pub is a base for the Three Churches Walk. Munson's brewery operates from the site. Pub is closed on Monday's except bank holidays.

A former Greene King pub.

The on-site Munson's Brewery beers are all served from keykeg, which is Real Ale but without the air coming into contact with it, which means it lasts longer. Our photographer has tried some and found them very tasty.

Footnote

The Chequers sign is an ancient sign probably brought to England by the Romans. Later the sign became associated with a money table e.g. an exchequer or type of chessboard. Some pubs displayed the sign to indicate that they would change money or acted as bankers in some way.
