The Chequers in Milton Keynes

Excellent range of beers, nice and cosy. Staff are very friendly and polite, which helps in this day and age. Excellent prices as well for Draft Alcohol. Highly recommended

Still one of the best pubs in the UK

Definitely the plce to go if you want a very good pint of bitter or larger

Youthful place run by two newbie landlords ..great guys ..beer wine prices in line with whetherspoons No food ...pork pies available crisps etc, will allow food to be bought from local traders and consumed on the premises

So glad that the pub has reopened and the landlord is such a nice guy. The beer was good, with a modest choice of ales. Great British pub!

Didn't have any food but bear was good Very friendly Querky pub

Saturday 10th August 2024 Today, I was lucky to come into what is the best real ale pub in Fenny Stratford This propper locals' old fashioned pub served a great choice of well-kept real ales it also had a friendly atmosphere, great staff on, and a grand secluded outside beer garden

Great pub, cheap prices, only problem is low beams for a tall bloke - however all fixed on a nice day in the garden area. Found the cheeky car park out the back which I never knew existed

Amazing pub, great service and fantastic prices. The landlord, Aiden, is a great, friendly and helpful chap! Will definitely be back in the near future, Aiden sure knows how to run a pub! Literally the best.

Great price, Aiden is doing an amazing job!

Beautiful little pub, amazingly friendly and good value.

Always friendly , a place you must visit !

Went to a cheese night very good

Friendly atmosphere and staff. Variety of beers. Nice small garden.🍻✌🏻

I absolutely love these guys, best pub in Fenny Stratford by far. Cheapest beer and friendliest service.

Great team there very friendly and a great cosy atmosphere and the outside area is looking great now!

Great to see the Chequers open again. Good choice of beer at reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Quite busy for a Saturday afternoon which is very nice to see.

What a lovely spot very friendly 😊

Beautiful pub, the building is stunning with centuries of history. Also, the landlords Aiden&Owen are genuine good people who deserve your money. CHEAP pints of really good ales and lager. If you are in Fenny Stratford this is the only pub to go to! Darts board + free jukebox, please go here if you need a drink!!

Nice old style pub. Went in for a pint before football and was so good we returned again later in the evening. Timothy Taylor’s Landlord Dark ale on draught was delicious. Great atmosphere when filled up in the evening. Cosy with a selection of games to play. Will visit again!

Highly recommend. Great vibe, feels very welcoming and prices are really reasonable. Love the approach and the feel of the place, definitely worth checking out if you are in the area (and it's only a 5 minute walk from the Grand Union if you are passing through).

Fine if you're a local I'm sure. Bloke pushed past me to front of bar and ordered and guy behind bar served him despite me pointing out I'd been waiting five minutes. Rude.

Nice old pub, good beer, great prices and excellent landlord.

Wonderful pub! Wonderful service! Not only the best place to drink in Fenny, but the cheapest too!🙌 Top quality drinks menu, cocktails are to die for! Will definitely be a regular!

Didn’t eat, but the Ale selection was amazing, really friendly welcoming bar!

Good beer at a good price, a very nice cosy place!

Super lovely little pub! Great atmosphere, lots of character and a toasty open fire! The guys are very friendly and welcoming!! Defo be back! <3

Popped in for a cheeky pint as I had heard The Chequers has re-opened. I had a fabulous pint of Parabolic Spiral pale ale - really flavoursome, a floral finish & beautifully conditioned and just £3.80 for this loveliness. They're still building up the trade, but I shall definitely be back for more of Owen's excellent beer and so should you too!

new fav pub affordable drinks u can play ur own music :D

Popped in to this lovely pub whilst visiting Family in MK. Understand that it is under new management and they have done a great job in making the pub a welcoming place. Cheap drinks, friendly service and an open fire ... What more could you want ?

No food isn't available at the moment. The pub has just reopened after a long period of closure. New management is great. highly recommended. The beers that are served are locally sourced.

After recently opening under new management, I cannot recommend this pub enough. A great pub with a fantastic atmosphere and friendly faces.

Brilliant little pub since the new management took over! & I can't believe how cheap it is!!!!

Great to see this local pub re-open under new management. I have really high hopes for this place & wish them every luck!

Just found out that this classic pub will be closing in November due to the current climate. Great landlord, beer at atmosphere.

Excellent ale fantastic atmosphere

Thoroughly nice little pub. Amazing garden area, but little in the way of custom. Perfect for a quiet drink, but I don't think the pub will still be there by Christmas as there's so little custom. Suggest the owner invest some time in social media marketing to get more punters in.

Proper real ale with a pleasant outside seating area. Robert the landlord always has a warm welcome for you.

Just visiting the area with friends. Top pub and easily overlooked - would recommend you don't!

Nice pint of San Miguel 🍺 ... even though a tad on the expensive side.

This review is mostly to inform that this establismrnt does not always have food as indicated on the TA site. No food monday and Tuesday

In a sea of mediocrity in Bletchley this place stands out. Fantastic real ale. Will definitely visit again.

From the fabulous landlord to the beautiful garden this old fashioned small quirky pub is just the place for a quiet drink !! Warm welcoming with a great ever changing selection of drinks.

Nice little pub near the MK Dons ground. Local real ales and a guest beer, all kept in top condition. Friendly landlord. Great stop for ale loving tractorboys!

Excellent place top landlord top quality beer

What an excellent pub! A hidden gem in Fenny Stratford - the Sunday roast is extremely good, well cooked, freshly prepared and great value for money.They have a selection of well-kept and prepared cask ales and the time and effort that Rob the landlord has spent shaping this pub, with its flowered courtyard garden is commendable.Definitely recommend a visit here - well worth a visit!!

A very well cared for and attractive pub. Very good beers and menu. A very outgoing and fun landlord. Well done and thank you!

Very good ales. I had Red Kite and Veritas. Landlord was ok if not the most friendly. But he was talking with some regulars. So no complaints.

Very quaint pub, customer very friendly. Menu's food available. Excellent place

Great Real Ale bar, only back ground music playing, ideal to meet and have a chat. Food was good, have had a few Sunday lunches and pub snacks in the evening, all cooked to order. Courtyard area is great when weather allows, very colourful.

Great little pub, great host, garden always looking lovely, each time we’ve been there the customers are always friendly and as the landlord to which is always friendly too, we’re been here for a Sunday dinner just like your mum would makes which was lovely .5star to the pub and host,will be visiting again soon,,,.

Great landlord. Never had a bad meal .lovely sun trap garden. Come and join us.

Yes very nice pub with good garden. Guinness was good!

Always a well served beer! Lovely outside space too, well cared for place. Worth a visit.

Great little pub and proper hospitality.

Nice pub with incredible beer. Very low ceilings. Friendly landlord and customers.

Lovely pub. Great selection of ales and Belgian beers. Comfy and welcoming.

Great real ale pub, good variety of Vale brewery and can usually find a table. Bonus.

Great little pub. Beers on tap were great. Lovely atmosphere. Pub quiz was great fun.

Great traditional pub great beer my first visit in a long time and not my last

Always passing this place and thought we would pop in for a drink before going onto a restaurant for a meal. While the range of beers and ale were good.The smell of greasy food coming from the kitchen wasn't.

A fantastic pub with a really good range of beers, both on tap and straight from the barrel. Well worth a visit. Excellent atmosphere.

Went here for a beer festival. Good range of bottle beer and there is a beer garden

This pub is up for sale, but it's still seling beer

Great little pub serving a wide variety of real ales and ciders.

Really nice place for a good ale!!!

Great ale as always, served with a welcoming, & informative attitude. Tim certainly knows ' beer'.

Went before a Rammstein gig at MK stadium. Helpful and friendly staff, bar full of fans, the staff even put Rammstein on through their music system! Fantastic selection of Belgian, Trappist & Lambic beers, nice outside beer garden at the back. Just watch your head on the low beams!

Had a great afternoon at Chequers. The boss man was on point and running the show very expertly single handed. The beer was top quality and the service was exceptional. I had a plate of chilli which was very rich in flavor and had the right amount of meat. Rice was nice too.

Nice old pub 4 real ales on bar with another 4 real ales on gravity with cooler jackets (not on at time of visit) behind bar Only bad thing is it’s up for sale

Nice Real Ales from Vale Brewery. Lovely locals to chat with.

Nice ale pub, friendly staff and always fresh beer!

First time here. Lovely knowledgeable bartender (larger gent) came across very welcoming and friendly, knew about his ales and offered a sample taste. Its nothing OTT but a good local pub. Good selection of ales.

Small friendly historic old pub. Regularly changes beers & porters... does food...I’ve become a regular.because of above No loud music etc.

As a CAMRA member I want to say that the Vale beers were in excellent condition. The pub has been revamped since I last went there and, the new landlord, Tim, has done an excellent job. Very friendly and knowledgeable chap. Apparently there is a chance that he will not be able to stay on if Vale sell the tenancy. Are they nuts? This guy is an absolute gem of a landlord - make sure you keep him Vale!!!

Very good pub. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Good selection of ale. Went for the cheese night very good idea. Bring some cheese to share with others. Pleasant and well supported.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

A brilliant, welcoming pub with some excellent real ales and craft beer available. A gem in the Fenny Stratford quarter

Been in Bletchley all my life and the Chequers was an OK pub, nothing special, nothing to make you want to go back, then 18 months ago it had a refurb, 3 separate small rooms and a fairly large bar became a small bar with the 3 rooms becoming one open plan bar, with nice warm decor, a fantastic array of real ales with a fair quantity of foreign craft beers to boot, gorgeous burgers too, would never go anywhere else in Bletchley now.

Visiting this pub for the first time in over twenty years and what a pleasant surprise ! With several real ales on tap and an array of bottled beers including Belgianand German ones I was really spoilt for choice but not disappointed with choice of Vale Brewery products on tap . A really proper little pub with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff , the only downside is I don't live in the area anymore but I will return next time I'm in the area .

A good selection of cask ales and friendly staff with a warm environment.

Fantastic choice of cask, keg and bottled beers served by welcoming and knowledgeable staff. A true gem of a place.

I love this Bar. Great bears and variety, the food is good, fresh and also a nice variety. The interior is lovely, cozy and friendly. I’d recommend this place to anyone. It won’t disappoint. Enjoy!

Really good selection of beers (obviously greater than normal on the day we visited, due to the beer festival that was taking place) and pleasant vibe. Nice to be able to sit outside and pub food selection was great too.

Haven't been in here for years. Went to the beer festival and its all good. And they are featuring music every evening for the duration of the festival. Excellent

Terrific choice of both cask and craft, limited but excellent food menu. Laid back vibe. Go try!

Three steaks ordered and cooked as requested. Served by polite and courteous staff. The side portions of chips were cooked well and hot. What more could you want?

Whats not to like about The Chequers? Fantastic food, large selection of ales/gins/beers, the atmosphere is nice and relaxed, and theres always a warm welcome from the staff.Also allows dogs (like all good traditional pubs used to) and its 2-4-1 burgers are legendary. Strongly recommend the No Beef Burger (Halloumi, Roasted Pepper and humous) with the Sweet Potato Fries. Onion Rings are massive and delicious too.

Nice food and surroundings. Not so keen on the beer choices but that's personal taste.

My local pub! Wonderful craft options and great food. Fantastic owner in Tim. So conscientious, accommodating and supportive of his vegan clientele. 5 stars all the way 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great beer range. Top pub. Dog friendly. What a transformation

Rare proper pub with real beers

This place has changed for sure !! I would not have ever made an effort to drink here a few years back.

Nice pub but no beer that I like.slow survive. Over priced.

Great Pub!! Really good real ales. Good burgers and 2 for 1 on Wednesdays. What more would you want!!

Great local brews. Loved the waffle burger.

You could almost walk past thinking it was someone's house and I must say the warm welcome made us feel at home. There was a true array of beers, by the keg on tap and on pumps. Vale Brewery beers were offered for taste and duly selected to begin a very pleasant early evening. I can recommend the sirloin steaks which come beautifully cooked with fresh rocket salad. Service was excellent and as a real bonus we were able to take out 6 pints of real ale. Landlord Tim was super knowledgeable on keeping a good cellar and almost converted my wife to drinking beers - so long as they are served by him in the future! Thanks to all at The Chequers. A truly brilliant little pub.

Not at all like it used to be this pub. No Stella, strongbow and no fosters = no moody characters. Just great beer and wine. Belgium beers, cask ales, craft ales, craft lager and keg beers etc... dog friendly and even human friendly. Worth a visit to Bletchley

Great selection of beers, friendly helpful staff and not to mention the best burgers in the area!!

Great Real Ale Pub, with a large selection of foreign Craft Beers too.
