The first of my favourite pubs is The Chequers Inn that is in the small village of Goldhanger about a 5 or 10 minute drive from the Town of Maldon in Essex, this is a 15th century Inn situated on the Blackwater estuary. There are a number of bars including one with bar billiards and another bar with a large logburner in that I have spent many occasions sitting in front of a roaring fire with a pint of real ale a number of which are served at this pub. I was here over christmas and a bag of chestnuts was left in the bar for customers to roast in the logburner. The Chequers is well known for its food with a good choice on its menu. There is a beer festival here every year around February/March time. The photo at the top of the blog page was taken in the front bar of the Chequers.
