At the very heart of both village and village life stands the Chequers, an attractive oak-beamed 15th-century pub. A variety of events are held, featuring up to 10 beers. A roaring log fire keeps customers warm in winter, and the pub frontage is a sea of flowers in summer and has a covered seating area. Good food is served and a wide selection of sausage dishes is available on Thursdays. The large garden has children's play equipment. Buses stop outside and Beltring Halt railway station is a 20 minute walk away. Two changing cask ales are usually offered.
