The Chequers is a historic 180-year-old free house pub and restaurant, centrally located in Cottenham, just six miles north of Cambridge. Overlooking the village war memorial, this charming establishment combines classic English tradition with authentic Italian cuisine. Guests can enjoy popular Sunday Roasts and traditional menu favourites alongside a specialty: genuine Italian pizzas cooked in a dedicated outdoor wood-fired oven, available for both eat-in and takeaway.
The bar offers an impressive selection of real cask ales, including a constantly rotating range of guest ales, complemented by a varied wine list. Visitors can relax in the spacious beer garden or enjoy courtyard seating under grapevines, with convenient on-site parking available.
