The food and service was outstanding. Food beautifully cooked and presented. We had the set lunch menu and it was excellent value with good varied choices. I would definitely reccomend the chocolate brioche bread and pudding! The service was really good. very friendly and efficient. Will definitely return.

Always friendly, unhurried and lovely food. Thank you.

Lovely Fish & chips, dessert was nice but not as good as expected. The cost was high priced but still good value

My wife had previously been with some friends and was very impressed on all fronts. As a consequence we met friends at The Cricketers for lunch. We sat in the window in the Library as requested when we booked. So a splendid location, great views over the green, very attentive but certainly not intrusive staff and a seriously good lunch. We choose Cumberland Sausage and mash (x2), fish and chips and a cheese & ham toasted sandwich with all the trimmings. The sausage and mash was my wife’s recommendation from her previous visit and most definitely lived up to expectations - the onion gravy, of which there was plenty, made the dish. In all it was served with a selection of well-cooked seasonal vegetables - six different ones! The fish and chips was equally well received and our friend who, not being overly hungry, opted for the toasted sandwich described it as the ‘best’ she had had! Desserts did not disappoint either. The caramelised sugar topping to the creme brûlée was fantastic, the sticky toffee pudding was very tasty and light with plenty of sauce (I would have preferred an extra scoop of ice cream but that was down to me for not asking!!!) The banoffee pie was very well received. Our less hungry friend opted for a floater coffee rather than a dessert and was exceptionally pleased to find it came topped with real cream rather than the ‘squirts’ kind. All in all a very special experience and one which we will very soon repeat.

Our first visit to this lovely pub. The fish and chips was outstanding and the service was spot on. Will be back, without a doubt. 5*
