| My partner and i visited the pub a few days ago when we were out fishing. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and we stayed chatting to them for some time. After looking at the menu i chose the king prawns to start with and my partner chose the salmon and courgette salad. Both were presented brilliantly and tasted just as good. For mains i had the steak and ale pie and my partner had steak. The pie was lovely and you could see that it was home made, it was exactly what i needed! The steak was cooked to perfection as my partner is very picky with how he likes it. He was very impressed! On reflection i think the pub is definitely off to a good start, we're in the area again in a few weeks and we'll definitely be returning! hannahlouise - 8 Sep 2011 17:55 |
| I visited this pub for the first time today as we needed to feed my family during a day out. It was very poor quality food, however that said the barman/manager said that he had only been running it for a week, but still I couldn't recommend it. The first two choices from the specials menu we made were not available (apparently they had been 'hammered' today......), we chose from the standard menu, fish, chips and beans for the children to share (they kindly swapped peas for beans), sausages and mash for myself and sea bass for my husband. The batter on the fish was soggy and under cooked, the chips over cooked. The sausages were burnt on one side and inedible, the mash was a tiny amount and the peas were swimming in what appeared to be bisto style gravy. The sea bass was over cooked, the vegetables were not the wilted spinach and baby corn as promised and the boiled potatoes were big in quantity - the whole of this meal was terribly dry and bland. To be honest I was surprised that the meals were served. On complaining about the two adult meals we were refunded the cost of both adult meals and my two children were ok about eating theirs. The beer, although lacking in choice was ok and it is hard to go wrong with appletise and a lime and soda! The two memebers of staff at the pub were, friendly, welcoming, polite and helpful and I really hope that they manage to get the pub off the ground and wish them lots of luck. However I for one won't be back. beerbrewer - 3 Sep 2011 22:35 |
| Drove past the Cricketers today. It's closed. Don't know if it'll reopen as a pub or not. Chestnut Horse is round the corner. odo_proudfoot - 17 Apr 2011 23:32 |

| We were looking for a pub with food at reasonable prices,and the Cricketers was recomended,we lunched there several times this summer,food was Ok,service ok,though the bar and dining area was a bit dim even at midday,typical of 100 year old pub,could do with brightening up.then recently my wife had plaice which was still frozen inside,,and my pie with chips and veg was just dumped on the plate though it was a large portion and tasted ok,not wishing to make a scene my wife just left her fish,then waited for for some attention from the staff to order a sweet an waited and waited,so we did no bother, on settling up we quietly pointed out the problem with fish,so they knocked a pound of the bill,great ,and did not appear concerned.We shall not return, vintageman - 28 Aug 2009 20:21 |
