A complete six-month rebuild of a village inn — bar, kitchen, dining room, restored timber beams. Now trading seven days a week as Olivier at The Chequers. You can walk in.
We don't usually take on hospitality work. We took this one on because the bones of the building were too good to lose.
Six months of structural rebuild — strip-out down to the brick shell, new floor slabs, restored timber beams, bespoke bar joinery, hand-built stone bar surround, a kitchen specced to professional standards, and a dining room re-laid in herringbone.
Now trading as Olivier at The Chequers, run by a chef-owner team, open seven days a week with a 4.7-star rating across 110+ reviews. The best part of finishing a pub is you can walk in and order a pint.
Ten frames covering the six-month rebuild — bar interior, exposed brick arch, dining room, aerial of the village, finished exterior and the before-state shell.









Two short clips — the interior rebuild mid-strip and the finished exterior. Tap to play, scrub forward and back to skip ahead.
