History of 111 - 117 High Street Chesterton

---

31 May 1912
The landlord of the Dog and Pheasant Inn, Old Chesterton told police that four bagatelle balls had been stolen from the taproom of the pub. Inquiries showed that a Fen Ditton man who’d been drinking there had offered some balls for sale next morning. He claimed to have bought them three weeks earlier from a man named ‘Capp’ against the Corn Exchange, saying he’d paid tenpence and a pint for them. A dealer in Regent Street said he’d bought them for eight shillings and sixpence – though the accused said he’d only got one-and-six. The landlady identified them as the ones stolen.

4 February 1988
The Dog and Pheasant in High Street Chesterton is a true community pub with darts, crib, football and fishing teams. Originally it had three separate bars but these were combined into one in a modernisation plan completed in 1986. New kitchens have been installed with customers from nearby offices telephoning their lunch-time menu choices. The friendly ‘family’ pub has regulars aged from 18 to 80 who get on well together and a garden with play equipment for children.
