About our cause

Chequer Inn Ash Society Limited rescued a much-loved heritage building and valuable amenity for the community.

As a Community Benefit Society with almost 300 members, we raised the necessary funds to purchase The Chequer Inn, Ash (a listed building which dates from the 15th Century) and saved it from developers.

The Pub re-opened in July 2019 as a community owned pub, leased to Tenants.

Our aims are:-
• to maintain a place to meet friends and neighbours and improve the sense of community
• to provide a community hub ensuring inclusion for those who are socially excluded, isolated and lonely
• to provide a central point for information on community events and local issues
• to liaise with local organisations and groups to promote activities and charitable fund raising
• to protect and improve the fabric of this heritage building and make it accessible to all
• to create opportunities for employment
• to inject money into the local economy

Ultimately, to restore the Chequer Inn to its original function: a thriving, viable and sustainable village pub. 

Since opening we have completed a new accessible toilet and replaced both the drayman’s hatch and the cellar air-conditioning unit. The old building continues to require careful and sympathetic maintenance to ensure its future.

The Edwardian Tea Rooms have also been restored and are a useful and valuable addition to the garden.

We also have a lovely Community Garden where vegetables and flowers have been planted and harvested by our team of volunteer community gardeners.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! 

The pub is now a hive of activity with good food and drink, regular quizzes, music and lively banter.

As well as providing a welcoming place for people to gather, the pub hosts several weekly groups including the self-named ‘Old Gits’ who put the world to rights each Thursday, a Knit and Natter group, a Bat and Trap team and a Book Group, as well as fun monthly quiz nights – always popular, which support local charities.

Our original objective to improve the sense of community and encourage activities that bring people together has started to become a reality but we welcome ideas and suggestions for other interests.

By choosing us as your 'Good Cause' and buying lottery tickets our vision for this community pub can continue to be achieved and built upon.

We are only the custodians of this historic coaching inn but, with your help, we can ensure its future.

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours sincerely,

CIAS Committee
