The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is good. The food can sometimes be good and sometimes it isn't. The quiz is mostly fun but there's not enough questions targeted to people born in the 90s or later so it's not the most inclusive of quizzes.

Another year, another visit same great hospitality from Vanessa and Ian.. so friendly and welcoming... Thank you πŸ€— The Cricketers is a beautifully presented Punch pub. Fantastic attention to detail, super clean throughout and a huge outdoor covered area to enjoy food, drinks and sports on the multiple outside screens. This pub has a huge selection of bottled beers and ciders to compliment the usual draught options (photo) I always say it but people want to know their food is prepared to the highest standard and with Vanessa's approval I've included the pictures of the exceptionally clean kitchen, all modern labelling and colour coded utensils and boards being used... Very high standards are in place at the cricketers throughout. The beer garden is huge and dog friendly and children are very welcome This would be a great place to while away a few hours with good food and drink in great company.
