A charming brick-and-flint country pub set in the heart of a picturesque Oxfordshire village, The Chequers, Berrick Salome, combines historic character with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Despite its tranquil rural setting, it is conveniently located within easy reach of larger towns, attracting both a loyal local following and destination visitors. With its cosy interior, inviting garden spaces and strong, well-established trade, the pub offers an excellent opportunity for a hands-on operator to take on a thriving and much-loved village business.

Recently refurbished and widely recognised for its quality food offering, the pub presents an excellent opportunity for a new operator to build on its strong reputation as a destination dining venue within a charming village setting, while continuing to celebrate its traditional appeal through a welcoming community atmosphere and a well-kept selection of real ales.

The landlords seek proactive and hands-on operators with a flair for wholesome home-cooked food, and a mine host personality. The ability to hold a personal licence is imperative.
