The Cricketers — Restaurant in Great Britain

Extremely hospitable landlord Ben and landlady Sheldon! We visited the Cricketers for a drink prior to the Tom Jones concert, so it was very busy indeed. However landlord Ben served us with a friendly smile and still made the effort to make pleasant chit chat with myself and my husband. After walking out of the concert because of the ridiculous queue time of over an hour to get a drink, we decided to return to the Cricketers for a drink to decide on our next steps. Landlord Ben served us again, and we shared how disappointed we were about the queueing at the concert. Ben then suggested something that has to be the most random act of kindest that has ever been presented to us by a virtual stranger! Ben told us that he had a function room upstairs that has a balcony overlooking the concert. That there were people already up there that he had sold tickets to, and we could go up to join them! We were absolutely gobsmacked that someone could do something so kind that they really didn't need to! We of course offered to pay but Ben would not hear of it. He asked the lovely landlady Sheldon to take us upstairs, where she took the time to introduce us to everyone, most of whom were Cricketers regulars, and who then welcomed us with open arms. Never have we received such a warm welcome from pub regulars! We were so overwhelmed by what Ben and Sheldon did for us, and we really can't thank them or the Cricketers regulars enough for what turned out to be a truly memorable experience. If you receive half the welcome from everyone that we did at The Cricketers, you will most certainly be returning! PS. Shout out to Jo who took one for the team that evening by working the bar upstairs,even though she had bought a ticket herself to watch the concert from...

The food is reasonably priced and the food looks and tastes good. Credit to the chef and waitresses. They were really polite and nice to talk to.

The drinks are pretty expensive £3.65 for a fosters and £2 for half a pint of coke, but then I think it's an average price around all Everards pubs.

The place is clean and tidy it's has a lounge area with 2 pool tables and a juke box. The bar area has tv's for live sport etc and a decent sized outdoor seating area with a kids play area.

The bar staff are all nice and cheerful. Overall...

I went on a Thursday afternoon with a friend while his car was being serviced lovely place I've been here many times with my family for Sunday lunch it has changed a bit since then was not too busy in the bar area but there is a main area if you go straight on from the entrance but we were in the small bar area on the left which houses a pool table jukebox and plenty of seating nice place not too far from main roads typically enjoyed in summertime when you...
