Hi Sarah

I hope I might get across for this, as it isn't too far and my mother lives in Caxton.

The Chequers used to be run by "Sid and Missis" who did the bus (he drove and she did escort) for Comberton Village College in the 1960s. They were very popular with the kids not least because they would stop at the Enterprise Cafe on what was the old A45 to pick up the pigswill (they put the bins in the boot of the bus) and the kids could go and buy sweets while they were doing this.

If we ever biked to The Chequers, there was always a welcome and a (free) glass of lemonade.

I think their son is still the landlord, but I'd thought the pub went part-time a while ago.
