| WINTER AT THE CHEQUERS | |
|---|---|
| Baby, it’s cold outside! No matter, the pub is the best place to hide from short days and long nights, with good friends, good cheer and good food. Our fresh native fish, a magnificent pork chop from Jimmy Butler, a warming vegetable curry, or a sweet Cherry Bakewell (in tart or cocktail form) will all make winter recede for a while. Find a comfortable spot by the fire or near the bar and let us bring you the good stuff. | |
