This place has gone seriously downhill! The service was OK but extremely slow. Though they were nice enough, they just seemed a little lost. The food was not very good for the price. Very disjointed timing's, to say the least. The landlady was interesting, she seems to have completely checked out. Sat around talking. Gave off a massive, I just want an argument with anyone vibe. Certainly not going to win any hospitality awards! Shame, really.

I have been to this pub a few times last summer and it was lovely. This time however the Sunday roast was barely average. It had obviously been kept warm as the gravy had skin on it. Service was appalling. We waited 40 mins for 3 starters, then another 30 mins for mains. Deserts were bought one at a time so some of us had finished before others even had theirs. Coffee served with no spoon or sugar. Staff very indifferent. All in all very disappointed. View menu

Sunday 13th August 2023 Very slow service, apologies from the staff. Complaints from other diners overheard. Nondescript food, very basic standard, poor value-for-money. The lounge area at the front bar is very scruffy decor-wise. The Gents toilets are really manky re. the hygiene and their poor condition. Sadly the Cricketeers is what it is, a below par pub and restaurant that’s best avoided if you want to come out thinking “That was a fantastic meal, the service was excellent, there was a terrific atmosphere and it’s a really stylish and smart place, let’s come again.”

We had to wait over an hour for our food to be served, which was suprising considering the restaurant was half empty. When the food came, both dishes were very underwhelming and not worth the wait. My husband had also asked for some horseradish, which never turned up. We asked for the bill and found that we had been overcharged for the food. The gentleman who appeared to be in charge did wipe our drinks off the bill and offered us a complimentaty bottle of wine on our return visit. We appreciated the gesture but we will definitely not be going back under any circumstances. I begrudge even giving the one star to The Cricketer.

We arrived at the pub for Sunday lunch, placed an order of roast lamb for me and jerk chicken salad with chips for my wife. I ordered a sparkling water and my wife ordered a small beer. We waited for 30 minutes and decided to sit outside until the food came. I told the waitress that I would leave my drink until I came back. We sat outside and then came back after 20 minutes, but the food still wasn’t ready. After about another 20 minutes, I asked a waiter how much longer and he said it is “in the pass.” The food eventually came about 15 minutes later and my lamb tasted processed and possibly frozen. My wife’s meal was also very average. I was offered horseradish which never came and when I a... View menu
