The Chequers

A traditional pub and restaurant close to the village of Houghton Conquest and a short drive from Ampthill in Bedfordshire, The Chequers is all about the families. Recently shortlisted for the Best Family Pub in the Finals of the Great British Pub Awards, with its wonderful playground, football pitch, beautiful surrounding fields and child-friendly atmosphere, it makes the ideal place for that family meal out.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner or Sunday roast, its menus boast lots of traditional pub favourites and are all lovingly made, where possible, using local and seasonal fare. You can even order a freshly made pizza to go!

CRACKING GOOD PUBS IN BEDFORDSHIRE & BUCKS
Little Gems are a small, intimate, independent group with a collection of five pubs situated in the heart of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Far from the cookie-cutter corporate style of our bigger competitors, our little gems each boast their own unique personalities and style but are united by common goals. We are all about serving up quality, seasonal, fuss-free food, keeping our bars stocked with well-kept cask ales, gins, spirits, extensive yet carefully crafted wine lists featuring over 30 wines by the glass and providing that welcoming, informal and familial atmosphere.

We pride ourselves on being everyone’s local. Little Gems are a home from home where our customers and locals can eat, drink, sit back and thoroughly enjoy the experience.
We even have treats for your pooch #dogfriendlypubsv
