I recently visited The Cricketers in Southwick for a pint, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The pub is located on The Green, right in the heart of Southwick, and it has a charming, traditional feel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure I felt right at home from the moment I walked in.
I decided to try one of their real ales, and it was perfectly chilled and full of flavor. The pub has a cozy interior with a mix of locals and visitors, creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. There are plenty of seating options, both inside and outside in their lovely beer garden, which is a great spot to enjoy a drink on a sunny day.
The Cricketers also offers a good selection of food. I didn’t have a meal this time, but the menu looked appealing with a variety of classic pub dishes. From what I observed, the food being served looked delicious and well-presented.
One of the standout features of The Cricketers is its entertainment options. They have live music, sports on TV, and other events that add to the lively atmosphere. It’s clear that this pub is a hub for the local community, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular.
Overall, having a pint at The Cricketers was a delightful experience. The combination of great drinks, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service makes it a must-visit pub in Southwick. I look forward to returning and perhaps trying some of their...
Read moreI arranged my mother’s 70th party here, and all was ok until 9pm when all the children were asked to leave. Now as I was the person who booked the place I can state for a fact that I was not ‘pre-warned’ about this happening. I have all the emails to prove it. I even spoke to an assistant manager Mia to arrange food times and pay, and she didn’t even bring it up. So not only was it terrible service but you also lied in previous replies to other reviews because you didn’t tell me about this ridiculous policy for private parties. The way it was handled was awful. The poor duty manager had no clue, and obviously had no ability to handle the situation, so the heavy handed doorman took charge. We were given a grace period to vacate the premises but by this time the mood and atmosphere had been shattered and the party ruined. The door man even said ‘we’re not asking everyone to leave, just the kids’! So were we supposed to just send the children home alone? Just ridiculous. Then for the rest of the time he was hovering around making his presence felt. Making the ‘grace’ period rather uncomfortable. No offer of compensation, no customer service. If I could have given zero stars I would have. If you’re looking for a party venue don’t go near it. Service at the bar was slow at best. All round a pretty poor show. My guests were left disappointed and upset,...
Read moreThe Cricketers is a lovely, cosy pub near the Green in Southwick, one which I'd highly recommend if you ever find yourself there. The people there are really friendly, I briefly met two or three waitresses and all of them were genuinely nice and friendly.
The food is great, I have no complaints whatsoever about that. Very tasty pub food, a wide variety of meals to choose from AND there are a lot of vegetarian options, including some vegan options too, which is fantastic.
Goes without saying that things such as drinks were also great. I only had one dessert there but it was equally tasty.
The Cricketers pub also holds some events each month, I believe. Events such as karaokes, pub quizzes, etc. If there's a sports event, such as a match or a boxing fight, they invite people to come and have a drink to watch it together.
Overall, the Cricketers has a very friendly and cosy feel to it, the food is great, the menu is nicely varied and there will surely be something for everyone. There's even a kids menu. There are also plenty of pub events that you can participate in if you wish to do so.
If you're staying in Southwick, give it a go! And even if you're in Brighton or Hove, it's not very...
