Came for Sunday roast. Excellent food, good portion sizes and reasonable prices. Too full for dessert but am sure its equally as nice!

Stopped by for lunch whilst we were in the area. Exceptional service, good quality food and friendly staff. I'm autistic and have sensory processing issues, a member of staff noticed I had loops in my ears ( in ear defenders) and without me having to ask offered to turn down the music. If we're in the area again will definitely visit again. We were told it's under new management and just wanted to share this review to help them out.

Really lovely pub. The staff were great, even spotting my partner's ear defenders and offering to lower the music! The food delicious. The vegetarian burger was tasty, and the profiteroles delicious! I would definitely recommended it.

We stopped off for drinks in the massive garden that's so well catered for and is great for families with young children. There is plenty of parking too. Lovely and cozy inside. -------------------------------- We went for a meal for the first time on a very quiet night on a Monday in December. We checked the menu out prior to coming and saw it was priced on the higher side for a local pub/restaurant, so we were expecting great things. Unfortunately, there were a few things that let it down for us, and I hope this feedback is taken with good intentions. The starters were ok and reasonably priced. The mains were not so Lamb shank Beef Cheeks Pan fried seabase All costing between £24 and £25 The beef and lamb were with mash and gravy, and the fish with couscous and a white wine saffron sauce. No side vegetables accompanied the meat dishes, so it was very heavy on the mash and gravy, nothing green or seasonal to balance it out. The one very small fillet of seabase was ok but served as a child's portion on a very large plate and about three spoonfuls of vegetable couscous and scrapping of sauce. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of this dish. At those prices, you would expect the trimmings for the heavy meat and mash that was tasty and cooked well, by the way. The fish dish at £24.95 was not an adult portion. My partner had eaten it in a few mouthfuls. We were the only people dining in there and were also charged 12% service charge on top as a bit much and should be optional at those food prices. We don't mind paying those prices and have done many times and more, but unfortunately, the offerings do not match the prices, we pay less for more in town which is the competition and for us personally felt cheated out of the very simplest of things like some seasonal vegetables and at least two small fillets of seabase and maybe a few more spoonfuls of couscous for the money. It's a shame because overall, the food was nice and tasty, but the price is way over top and if the prices are kept that high and nothing is added to justify it or to make it special then it simply won't sustain in the long run in my humble opinion. £119.36 was the bill total with no vegetables added sad times 😢

My wife and I found ourselves at the Cricketers Inn having tried a couple of closer pubs which had stopped serving food at 3pm (totally understandable but we had a lot on and we're running late and hungry!). We're glad we did. We received a warm welcome and a great lunch. 2 courses and some drinks came to just under £50 which I'm not going complain about. The food came out nice and quick, fresh and roasting hot. It was delicious, hats off to the chef. My wife had a chicken burger and I had a stir fry, both went down well. I'd recommend a visit, I'm a little disappointed that we didn't have the kids with us as the play area looked like it would have kept them occupied! Well done.
