Our Story
Recently re-opened, The Chequers Pub Feltwell has a rich history going back to early 1900's. We would like to restore the pub to its former glory and the heart of the village. We are serving food everyday starting with our delicious breakfasts to kick start your day, from a full English to American style pancakes with bacon. We are serving a lunchtime menu and evening menu incorporating fresh, homemade food from local suppliers.
So whether you want to pop in for a coffee or have a bite to eat we very much want to you to feel welcome at The Chequers Feltwell.
In Edwardian times there were 10 public houses in Feltwell and two at Feltwell Anchor. Often, as the night wore on, arguments would arise and if a point was reached where it became evident that blows were about to be exchanged, the "contestants" were restrained. Immediate arrangements were made for a properly conducted duel of fisticuffs to take place at dawn.
Naturally, word of the duel passed quickly round the village and at dawn a large crowd would gather to watch the fight. Several of our "senior citizens" have told me that the usual venue was on the Old Brandon Road, although some were fought on the village green, opposite the (old) Chequers Inn.
