The Chequers Pub in South Cambridgeshire

Great pub. Great people. Great stories. Great drinks. Great photos.

Fabulous family run local. Great Friday pizza!

Friendly , traditional pub . Serves amazing homemade pizza on a Friday evening . Great atmosphere great beer .

Friendly atmosphere, a single is 35ml which is great, ciders / beers are reasonably priced (around £5), pizzas are delicious and the quiz night is always fun.

Brilliant atmosphere, brilliant pub and brilliant Guinness. Bar owners are so welcoming and friendly and pour a good pint too. Nice and affordable too!

A fantastic traditional local country pub. Great beers from their micro brewery together with a warm welcome.

Cozy pub with a nice outdoor kitchen and great Pizzas. Very welcoming owners and lots of parking space. Only drawback is the proximity of the smokers to the entrance.

Frst time here in a little hidden gem, we ordered a couple of drinks and relaxed in the garden. Bob and Wendy were very welcoming and we had a good chat. We shall be along again for pizza next time!!

Set in a very quiet remote village, The chequers is a hidden gem. First time here on a quiet Saturday afternoon we ordered a couple of drinks & snacks and relaxed in the garden. Bob and Wendy were very welcoming and we had a good chat which made us feel comfortable amongst the locals. We shall be along again for pizza next time!!

They have the best pizzas I have ever tasted and they are made fresh in the outside pizza oven. You get to choose your own toppings and you can have as many as you like. They also have the most beautiful hanging baskets I have ever seen.

Pizza was great, beer selection wasn't so good inside. Good ales but limited larger.

Service very slow. Good Guinness but my friend on the second round decided to join me with Guinness as their previous ales went flat too quickly.

Always a great welcome from Wendy and uncle Bob. Beer's good too.

Lovely pub, pizzas top notch, highly recommended

Food is wonderful and the owners are brilliant

Lovely pub. Staff and punters are great

A friendly village pub. Good food, beer, service and company. Excellent!

The greatest pub in Little Gransden by far. Wonderful hospitality from Bob and Wendy, great beer including "Son of Sid" which is brewed on site. On Friday nights they fire up the pizza oven in the garden and make stone-baked sourdough pizzas with your own choice of toppings. Very, very worth a visit.

What a great pub. My husband loved the cider and the pizzas were amazing. I can honestly say it's the best pizza I have ever had.

Great pub with proper beer, a really nice garden and lovely owners. Will definitely be going back

Excellent beers & just waiting for them to start brewing again.

Popular village pub. Lovely staff.

Best pin for miles around. Proper cask ales and scrumpy cider and hoping Bob kickstarts his own brewing imminently!!

Really good traditional landlord and lady. Happy to chat and made to feel welcome. Will come again when were in the area. 👍🏻

Fantastic pizzas - huge variety and excellent quality. Really good value for money. Service friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone and will do. People of all ages welcome.

Nice local pub we visited whilst camping nearby, note doesn't serve food every day but a very nice pub none the less 🍻👍

Best beer, lovely garden, fantastic hosts

Fantastic little pub nice garden a hidden gem for people who appreciate a real pub and a good pint of beer.

Warm and friendly welcome from landlord and landlady

Just went to listen to the group jamming. Lovely garden, friendly people. Definitely worth a visit.

Just dropped in on a sunny day for a pint and in the garden they had a folk group jamming session. It's a lovely place to go we ordered our drinks and the landlord Bobby brought them to our table and we paid b4 we left later a really pleasant atmosphere and also they do food there and Bobby brews his own real ale too.

Had a lovely pint of Adnams in the pleasant beer garden after a walk in the wonderful Waresley bluebell wood. Very chatty friendly hosts.

Greta friendly pub. First went in over 40 years ago. My Dad became a legend by hitting double 10 in the dark. I have very fond memories of the original owners and glad it stayed in the family. So nice to visit in 2019 and hopefully will visit in 2021 if possible. To many good memories to write about S

Lovely pub and a bonus of having its own micro brewery. Land lord is a legend.

This family run pub is a real gem, one of those where customers actually talk to each other ! Run by Bob, Wendy and Amy, the Chequers is a country pub, no frills, with open fires / wood burners in each of the 3 bars. Bob brews his own bitters and stouts in the micro brewery on the premises and has won more CAMRA awards than is decent! Due to Covid the weekly Friday fish n chip extravaganza is on hold however the new multi fuel pizza oven should be soon cooking crispy thin made to order fare. During shut down the whole pub had been cleaned, decorated and generally given s freshen up. All required Covid precautions are strictly upheld with social distancing, hand sanitizers etc . A newly refurbished out door area provides covered seating for those who wish to smoke or sit out when weather allows. I found it quite easy to pass by this pub first of all as it’s main entrance doesn’t face the road but is side on as you enter the large car park which is not particularly well lit however it’s well worth turning around and seeking it out

Small, friendly pub in a beautiful village. Quiet and clean inside with a large garden at the back including a covered patio. The food is not being served at the moment (due to the Covid situation) and the home-brewed ales were also not on. However there was a good range of local East Anglian ales, including two from Lacons. Nice place to visit if you are in the area or a walker or cyclist. A local business that is worth supporting.

Great traditional country pub, but the best is the landlord, such a great character and very welcoming.

Very nice local pub clean well Looked after, a pub like a pub should be, I hope the locals appreciate what they have and support it .

We booked for fish and chips, the two who didn’t eat fish in our group asked for battered halloumi instead. The food was amazing everything freshly made on the premises. The fish/halloumi came with chips, salad, along with Bobs home made minted mushy peas, coleslaw and tartar sauce. All washed down with his Son of Sid award winning muck cart mild. Followed by gransden cock up ( better than Eton mess). Always a warm welcome from Bob and Wendy in the chequers with roaring open fires and three bars to choose from. Love this pub!

Proper country pub. And onsite brewery too. Muck Cart Mild is Excellent

Very small pub - with very limited selections. Also cash only - bit inexcusable and behind the times in 2019 in an ever cashless society.

Bob Mitchell has a gem of a pub here. His "Son of Sid Brewery" turns out some lovely ales. Muck Cart Mild is proper. None of this Craft Ale with American Hops that tastes like a mix of Cillit Bang and TCP will be found here....

Great friendly pub with its own brewery - they deliver to no-one so to try their ale you have to visit the pub! Great old-style wooden decor and lively chat is the order of the day. Fish and Chip night is Friday - they are excellent and it's the only time they do any cooking so early booking is advised 😉👍

good atmosphere but mainly go for the in house brewed beer!

Fabulous meal as ever, highly recommended

Its old, its friendly, brues their own Beer and wins year after year the best beer awards, if you are a true beer enthusiast, pop in and the welcome and banter will keep you happy until you have to leave, but once in you will come back over and over. No old beams or fancy made up pretence, just good pub beers and friendly as it was in years gone by, so hard now to find. On Friday nights you can get a plate of 'Very Fresh fish' and chips plus loads of top healthy food to complement as standard, at very reasonable prices. Must book.

Very friendly pub. They brew their own truly delightful beers.

You'll struggle to find a better pint than they brew and serve here.

I wish this pub were closer to my home - it's fully 14km away - as, from 20 years' experience, this is the epitome of a good village pub, run by the Mitchell family for many decades. The cliche is that a pub is the heart of the community but, in this case, that certainly applies. It has a very simple unfussy interior where the layout and atmosphere in the first and middle bars encourages conversation with friends or complete strangers. There is a large car-park but sadly it is no longer on a bus route. Many people come here for the home-brewed beer, which is exemplary and Bob (the owner/brewer) is always trying new recipes - though the English Ale (a light bitter) and the Muckcart Mild are perennial favourites. Food is largely confined to Friday nights, when the focus is on fish and chips, though other dishes are available. You should book in advance (24 hours or more) as the fish is bought in specially and fresh. As well as being beautifully cooked with splendid batter and chips, the side dishes (salad, coleslaw and mushy peas) are excellent. Maybe the most out-of-the-ordinary aspect is the homemade tartare sauce which Bob learnt from attending courses with Rick Stein and which raises the whole meal to a higher level still. Bob & Wendy will cater for special events too, which gives them scope to provide other dishes. We hosted a big family party (100 people) there recently and the hog-roast and salmon were given rave reviews from our guests, as were the salads, vegetarian dishes and their selection of pork pies etc (the latter bought in from a local specialist supplier). There is no doubt in my mind that this pub is 5-star and I recommend it heartily.

Great unspoilt country pub with micro-brewery. Try the award winning muck cart mild. Book the amazing fish and chips on Friday night ! Always a warm welcome from Bob and Wendy.

Quintissential small pub, great craft ale (including many brewed on site in the microbrewery) and food. Note that food is not served every night so ring in advance. Fish and chips is the best I've ever had.

There was a really nice feel about this pub. The Son of Sid beer was excellent and the other ones looked appealing. Apparently you need to pre order food which is meant to be very tasty. Even though we weren't locals everybody was friendly and welcoming.

great pub, best fish and chips on fridays

Great beer great hosts just what you want from a village pub. Try the blackcurrant cider

Wonderful people, good food and beer.

Lovely place with great ales, brewed on site in the brewery! Will definitely return!

One of the best pints of real ale I've had, very friendly village pub.

Wonderful staff/landlord. Food is exquisite and comfortable surroundings

Very cosy bar with excellent fish and chips and the beer was great.

Great selection of beers brewed on site. Warm and friendly greeting. Awarding winning rural pub. Highly recommended for a beer buff.

A very warm welcome with good conversation. Such a little gem, a real find. Thank you.

Bob & Wendy are lovely hosts. Bob has own microbrewery which is supposed to be great.

Fantastic beers and lovely landlady and landlord

Superb country pub with great real ales, roaring fires, and a very friendly welcome from Bob & Wendy. Home to the "Son of Sid" brewry - "Muck Cart Mild" is brill.

Excellent beer, and good conversation with the company in this historic pub.

The most British of British great pubs. Found on the off chance this fantastic village pub has been in the same families hands for over 60 years and brews it's own beer, Son of Sid. We arrived on a charity pickle day.... chutney not pickled customers and a warm welcome was the order of the day. A gem, as late as a diamond but worth twice as much. No wonder is east anglian pub of the year.

.good food and beer.lovley land lord & land lady, staff .brill pub

Great beer and an uncomplicated pub with mega hanging baskets. Who could ask for more? We use this pub as a nice warm day stop off when riding our tandem.

Make sure to pre-order from this quaint local Free House in Little Gransden. The fish was the best I've ever had and the couple there are so delightful. We ordered take away and they send the meal home in serving platters that they request be returned within 24 hours. How charming! So glad my stay in Great Gransden included a meal from this tasty place. Will be an experience that I will always remember with joy

Really enjoyable visit. Really nice beer and welcoming hosts.

OMG best fish and chips ever, heavenly coleslaw and mushy peas. Excellent service.

We called in for a pint having hear that it is the home of the Son of Sid Brewery and we were not disappointed. The beer was great, the service friendly and there was a pleasant relaxed atmosphere about the place. It is a bit overtly royalist for me with the picture of the queen on the England flag, and the themed royal beers, but I soon got over that when I tried my pint.

This is a micro brewery and he sales a lot of he's own beer, which is amazing I love the place very friendly, there is a large well kept beer garden,truly worth a visit

Great fish n chips on a Fri night! Great pub out in the sticks... we bike when we can. Dog friendly....everyone friendly!

Free house owned by four generations of the same family, and currently brew their own ale's. Brilliant village pub, and friendly faces.

We booked supper at this amazing pub by mistake; I was confusing it with a place that no longer exists in the next village! I’m very glad I did though; the fish and chips (food only on Fridays, must book in advance) are incredible; beer made on site and really good. Staff are friendly and full of stories about the history of the village and the pub which they’ve run for over 50 years. Cash only though, be warned; but definitely do go!!

Such a friendly local pub with great ales brewed in house. Wendy and Bob are so welcoming

Quite possibly the best traditional pub in the region! Great atmosphere, great beer (brewed on the premises), good company, and a pleasant setting!

On our way back from Christchurch we stay with friends and they took us to the Chequers Pub in Little Gransden, a very quaint little Pub with its own Microbrewery, not just good Beer but on a Friday evening the place is packed with people as they do fantastic Fish & Chips with beautiful Fresh Fish and all the trimmings, with great Staff and good Beer and Food it doesn't get much better at the Chequers Pub.

Vinimos aquí en marzo con un grupo muy grande y haber reservado con antelación Bob y Wendy fueron extremadamente amables con nosotros dándonos una mesa grande para adultos y una pequeña mesa para los adolescentes y niños, así que todo el mundo era feliz. El pescado y las patatas fritas, así como el bistec era extremadamente agradable, como he dicho en mi anterior comentario y lo recomendamos este auténtico pub local a cualquiera de la zona

Great Indonesian food in traditional pub

Friendly staff, traditional pub, ale brewed on site.

Bob and Wendy are welcoming hosts that serve fantastic home brewed ales. A great village pub with beer garden for summer and wood fires in the winter. Friday night is fish and chip night and they do pub quiz nights twice per month on Thursdays.

You can always be sure to get a superb pint of real ale here. The brewery is often experimenting with new brews and inventive names. They do always have a few favourites, like 'Muck Cart Mild', which is definitely worth a try.

After coming to the Chequers for fish and chips I would never go elsewhere for fish and chips. So fresh and tasty! Friendly staff and a lovely rural pub!

The Chequers is a traditional village pub with a microbrewery attached, it has a really unique atmosphere so is worth a visit. Fish and chips at the Chequers is a wonderful night out for all the family, you do need to book in advance but it's worth it for the wonderful food. Word to the wise portions are huge so if you have someone with you with a smaller appetite or who wants to save room for a fantastic pudding I would suggest splitting one between two.

Tiny little village pub which had some very nice ales brewed onsite by micro brewery, very welcoming and friendly landlady

Visitamos los Chequers para comida por primera vez el viernes, este pequeño pub del pueblo ha sido un preferido para nosotros cuando caminando, pero como sólo ofrecen comida de pescado y Chip los viernes, que no nos las arreglamos para entrar en el restaurante. Reserva necesidades con antelación ya que pedir el pescado temprano en la semana y están limitados por espacio.

We walked here from the airfield after getting in a muddle. Wendy welcomed us and Re charged the fire. Amazing home brewed beers and friendly locals. Will recommend to anyone in the area. Thank you so much.

Beer good. Food good. Prices reasonable. Staff friendly as were the hosts. Pretty pub rurally located looking after the few locals that support it.

Llamamos última semana para reservar una mesa para fish and chips viernes, pero nos habíamos dejado demasiado tarde. Ellos ya había ordenado el pescado! Esto parecía muy prometedor, así que reservamos para esta noche. Así que cuando llegamos las dos piezas de pescado con nuestro nombre estaban cocinados especialmente para nosotros. Como si esto no fue lo suficientemente bueno, eran servido con patatas fritas, una ensalada bien diseñada, col casera, guisantes blandos gurtas tartare caseros y salsa casera. Imposible saber por dónde empezar. La comida era de la más alta calidad y una fantástica selección de cerveza y sidra. Podría haber sido nuestra primera pero que sin duda no será el último.
