    Good food, good staff, good ambiance but too noisy for conversation to begin with at least.

    We’ve eaten at the cricketers many times before and always been nice but they were busy and couldn’t cope. We wait approximately 45 mins to get our food. My son got a different meal to that ordered, our roast dinner was cold, the meat was very tough as were the roast potatoes. We ordered drinks which only came after we had finished wasting so had the whole meal without a drink. When the meal arrived we weren’t offered any sauces or any accompaniments. We were due a desert with the children’s menu but didn’t wait as everyone was over it by then! Pretty much every table around us was also complaining which made for an interesting atmosphere. While I appreciate that they proactively amended the bill- we would have expected this though given the experience.

    Everything was spot on, service was friendly and the pub was great, still had a bar for a drink / food and a restaurant and outside eating space. The food was excellent the group had pizza (freshly cooked in their pizza oven) and roast (with all the trimmings and a great gravy). Our dog enjoyed his time under the table. We will definitely go back and have recommended it to friends already!

    Nobody seemed to be aware we had a table booked, it was very busy as hadn’t realised it was quiz night. No great service, food (pizza) was ok

    The food, service and experience were all excellent. There were three of us celebrating my daughter's birthday. We will definitely be going back.

    Love this pub especially the duck pizza. The Cottage Pie could have had a little more vegetables. Saying that the food has always been good.
