  Having not been in The Chequers for a fair while, we decided to stop by for a pint after a walk in Wimpole Hall grounds. The beer was good but... read more sadly that's where the positives end. The place was freezing. We didn't notice at first as we were warm from our walk but then we noticed other partrons wearing their coats. Neither of the open fireplaces were in use. The social distancing is poor at best. We are not paranoid but people were walking about not wearing masks, not adhering to one way systems and locals were propping up the bar. Back in the day this would be completely normal and we miss those days too. After mentioning this to the bar maid she went over to the group of locals and announced she had had a complaint. Cue all eyes in our direction, muttering and shuffling away from the bar. I think it will be a long time before we try it again!
