The Chequers is a 400-year-old pub situated in the heart of Burcot, Oxfordshire.
Steve Sanderson, Landlord and Chef, or Fat Chef as he is known, I met Steve when he had lunch at the Ledbury and we have been great friends ever since. Front of house at the Chequers is the delightful Maddy who makes everybody welcome and does an amazing job with her team.
The Chequers is steeped in history and has many stories to tell. The building seems to be of 16th century origin and is traditionally held to have been an Inn for farm labourers, servants, and river workers travelling up the Thames selling their wares. Wool workers would frequent the Inn regularly arriving from the Chilterns.
