Fiona Bruce MP congratulates the CAMRA Champion Pub of Cheshire
Fiona Bruce MP visited The Lower Chequers Inn on the cobbles of Sandbach this weekend to congratulate its owners, James Mason and Elizabeth Cooke, on being named CAMRA Champion Pub of Cheshire.
Fiona Bruce saidThe Lower Chequers is a lovely pub in a beautiful spot in town and its award is thoroughly deserved, I’m so pleased I was able to visit and congratulate James and Elizabeth and their staff on their success.”

Elizabeth and James said “We are thrilled, for such a small pub, to have gone from difficult circumstances only two and a half years ago to Cheshire Pub of the Year is fantastic.  It is like a lifetime achievement in only two and a half years. We had a fantastic weekend with the events in the town and the sunshine topping it off.  It was lovely that Fiona was able to pop in and brilliant that she was so interested in what we do. We are a traditional pub, we don’t serve shots or play loud music, it’s a place where people can come and have a drink and chat together.”
The Lower Chequers is in the oldest building in Sandbach and is a very traditional family pub with dogs and children welcome.
