Chequers Inn Hotel, Forest Row

Very traditional old inn, with a lounge on either side of the smaller central bar. Christmas decorations were being installed outside when I arrived, plus some around the feature inglenook fireplace, and these seemed much needed as this place has a rather dispiriting feel. That said, it does thankfully now do cask beer again in the form of a couple of Harvey's beers from the three handpumps: Sussex and Armada.
