Violent disorder
Havering Council has imposed new licence conditions on the Chequers pub following a violent disorder incident in March 2026.
Havering Council's Licensing Sub-Committee imposed new conditions on the Chequers pub licence and removed its Designated Premises Supervisor in April 2026. This decision followed a four-week suspension of the licence, which was an interim step taken in March 2026 after an expedited review.
The review was initiated by the Chief Officer of Police for Havering Borough after a violent disorder incident occurred at the premises in the early hours of March 11, 2026. Concerns were also raised about child safety during the review process.
