  • Did you know?

391st Bomber Squadron flew from Matching Airfield during World War II. They were
instrumental in bringing an end to the war with their relentless bombing raids deep
into enemy territory. 

391 MATCHING GREEN LAGER is a tribute to those brave airmen of Matching Airfield in Essex. 

391 is Matching Green’s first ever dedicated local beer – all ingredients are sourced only from England, it is brewed locally and drunk
exclusively by the patrons of The Chequers Matching Green... for now.

Unlike most mass produced lagers from the big breweries, 391 is a naturally brewed
beer with no unnecessary chemicals added.
  • Start the weekend with the Chequers breakfast - opens at 9am (every Saturday). From full English to pastry and coffee. The choice is yours.
  • National Rosé Day is calling. 🍷 Join us this Saturday, June 13, with @aixrose.official. The pool vibes may be missing, but the perfectly chilled AIX certainly won't be.
  • Good vibes, comfy seats, happy Saturday 🙂
