About the Chequers

The Chequers is 19th century traditional English pub, nestled in the idyllic countryside village of Barley. At The Chequers we guarantee the warmest of welcomes, excellent service, a fantastic range of drinks and fabulous food. We also understand that any good pub ought to be at the heart of the local community and we’re dedicated to hosting a range of events including quiz nights and evenings of live music that will bring people together and foster amusement.
