What a great little pub ! Stopped off here whilst visiting Stevenage and glad we did, great selection of beers and Lauren, her staff and the regulars were really friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.
The pub has evolved and changed since my father started drinking here 50 years ago but what you have today is a welcoming, friendly pub that focuses on beer which they have a great range of. Unlike some pubs that close their doors of a weekday afternoon (The George in Hitchin, I'm looking at you!), the Chequers dutifuly keeps the beer flowing, served with a smile. My only complaint would be the pop music on the radio. But definitely go here.
Great little pub, lovely atmosphere with very good location if coming from the new town! Good selection of beers and ales. The decor on the walls is really cool with some interesting items linked to the local area. Also as a side note, the toilets are lovely and clean (a notable relief compared to the Red Lion up the road.)
Been a few times now with the family and I can honestly say that on each visit the food and drink has been consistently good and reasonably priced. Our waitress, Emma was attentive, pleasant and very professional, providing advice on the food available. We shall be returning in the near future!
Great pub and excellent choice of great beers.
