FAQs

Is booking essential?
No its not but you may have to bear with us whilst we find you a suitable table especially if the pub is busy which is why we do suggest booking. Book here: The Swan, The Chequers

Will I still be able to come to the pub just for a drink?
Yes you can come to the pub for a drink but we are not doing bar service – only drinks served at tables.

Can I book a table just for drinks?
Yes you can book a table just for drinks but where people are eating we will need to prioritise tables for them.

Is there a maximum number for table bookings?
We ask all our clients to comply with the Government’s rules on this. At the moment the Government advise meeting externally with no more than 6 people outside of your family group and there is no limit to the number from within your family group provided you all live together. We are not able to tell who is family and who is not and we do not know who lives with who so we ask everyone to respect the Government’s advice.

Will you be limiting numbers inside and in the garden?
