AN EVERSLEY CROSS pub that’s a destination for foodies has a new general manager.

Laura Watts has taken charge of The Chequers, just in time for a new summer menu.

“I’m delighted to have joined the team of this one, and to be working with a wonderful group of people making the pub really feel like home,” she said.

The historic country pub has a fresh, new look inside and a newly designed garden, which includes a patio, a stretch tent, and plenty of shady spots.

FROM THE LEADER: Help us clamp down on antisocial behaviour

The interior has a low-ceilinged bar with nooks and crannies to sit, while the dining area has light-painted walls and nature-inspired hand-printed wallcoverings.

There are pops of colour from vintage board games and playful antique bagatelle and chequers boards, as a nod to the pub’s name.

“We can’t wait to welcome you to the pub, which is truly looking its best,” Ms Watts said.

“I may be new to this pub, but I’m not new to hospitality nor to the area – I was born and bred in nearby Woking.

“I have worked in good restaurants offering great hospitality for a number of years.”
