"We celebrated our daughter's birthday at The Farmer's Home and had a fantastic dinner. The portions were generous and the food was delicious. The staff was welcoming and provided excellent service. Despite living near Durley, we hadn't visited in 2 years and wondered why we hadn't returned sooner. We will definitely be coming back as the evening was wonderful. It was great to see a variety of vegetarian options on the menu. I had the vegetarian lasagna, which was beautifully cooked. Highly recommend for vegetarians looking for a tasty meal."

"After visiting another local venue that had not food to offer, we came here. Well, what a pleasent little place, attentive staff, great service and food to match. Chefs special which I enjoyed was the Beef Bourgugnon, my friends had fish and chips and burgers which were all clean plates by the end. Prices were fantastic for the quality. Thanks to our servers Declan and Alice for a great meal. Nice to meet locals who are not little gremlins that fester nearby."

"What a fantastic find. They accommodated us last minute for Sunday lunch and could not have been any more friendly despite being packed. Nothing was too much trouble and the dogs were spoiled rotten too. Thank you! Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5"

"Our working group from a local church have lunch out a couple of times a year always book a table here. Due to the pandemic this was the first time since 2019 we’d met up for lunch. The menu is much less varied than...previously, and although the staff were pleasant enough the atmosphere of the place was fairly dead. Whereas the food previously was generous, interesting and home-cooked, today it was indifferent, bland and disappointing. The chips were oven cooked, and tasteless with even the little overcooked potato fragments that lurk in the bottom of the freezer bag being served up. The ‘crispy’ batter on the fish had been cooked at too high a temperature the small pot of peas were not even drained properly. The pate appears to come in pre-moulded portions, and despite specifically asking for no raw onion it was served in the salad garnish. Needless to say we will be looking for somewhere else to eat in future."

"We have visited the cricketers a number of times, as locals to the area. However the last couple of visits the Pizza has fallen way short of expectations, given that there is now a specialist Pizza kitchen, this is nothing short of disappointing. On todays visit, we were celebrating a birthday, and what we received was simply not acceptable. As a table of 8 adults, with an order of 6 pizza and 2 a la carte. The a la carte dishes were eaten before pizzas even arrived. The waitress explained they were busy, but at least 7/8 tables in the garden were not even occupied. When the pizzas arrived, those that had been ordered with extra toppings were served without said toppings, we returned them only to be re-served the same pizza now with raw extra topping, returned again, served again within seconds with same uncooked extra toppings, returned for the third time, one arrived, with extra topping re cooked. These Pizzas had now been in the oven 3 times! The second however was still incorrect, the waitress asked, what am I to say to the chef? As if it was our problem that what was being served was incorrect. We replied, nothing, it’s too late we no longer want it, everyone else has finished. My husband approached the manager, who immediately refunded said pizza, but he caveated the refund with, we have not had one complaint in 8 months! However, given it was 2 for 1 on pizza we actually gained nothing, in fact, the said pizza should have been free anyway! We were at the Cricketers for 2 hours and spent £200, it was our intention to stay all evening instead we left at 8.15 very disappointed. Whilst the manager said they had never received complaints, we witness several pizzas being returned. Please don’t try and defend bad service/food. Simply apologise . It ruined our evening and birthday celebrations, and sadly as locals we will not be back. A simple round of drinks on the house, a bottle of wine or anything actually, plus an acknowledgement that on this occasion you had got it wrong would have sufficed. Sadly today for the sake of a freshly cooked pizza with the correct toppings, you have lost our custom. A professional pizza chef should not keep putting a returned pizza back out to the customer. Sadly previous visits where we have eaten and drank as larger groups, ordered magnums of the recommended sparkling wine, will no longer happen. Customer Service costs nothing, unhappy customers cost a business way more that what they spend. Disappointed if Curdridge"
