The Chequers, Burcot

Hi this is my local & has quite a 'chequered' past. Recently taken over by Steve & Laura this pub is definitely on the 'up'. Very well-kept real ales, (Hooky, Adnams, Ridgeway etc. a constantly changing selection,) are reinforced by high class lagers: Bitburger & Budvar. Steve in the kitchen, is a excellent chef & has taken great care over the menu, using locally sourced ingredients, producing real pub-cooked food. Laura runs the front-of-house with a smile & tolerates the foibles of the 'regulars'. What more can I say? Just a little while ago we were scared the pub would close, no chance now. ps They are not paying me to submit this, but then again................
