The name here describes what you're getting - a former school building, converted in to a nicely chaotic layout of a pub, that focuses heavily on a food trade. They have an adjoining modern build music venue (Chalk Bar) on the same licence which allows them to capture a wider range of trade than the main pub would get on its own
Even the way in here doesn't really make sense - the obvious front door opens to a outdoor area with what appears to be a locked gate. There are two ways in at the ends, neither of which is obvious. But it doesn't seem to stop people getting in, as despite it being early afternoon on a Saturday there weren't a huge amount of seats left free.
This was too early in the day for Chalk to be open, let alone see how busy it gets itself, so all the trade I saw was mainly family meal traffic - so not somewhere obvious for either a quiet pint or a lively night out; but its probably safe to assume the latter is on offer in Chalk
