| I recently visited this pub for the Monday jazz, for the first time in many months. It has improved, in that the unfriendly manager was not there. Has he left? The jazz was well supported. Drinks in this pub still seem to be overpriced, compared with other Woking area places. jbsjazzer - 17 Jun 2009 09:56 |
| The only flaw in the business plan is to have loss making "entertainment"?? . If as you say, you are locals you must have also observed that there are many more non jazz fans in the pub on the other 6 nights of the week than there are jazz fans in on mondays. You have obvoiusly not noticed that it is the festive season, so those rowdy tables could have easliy spent in one night what you spend in a year, lets not lose sight of the fact that pubs are profit making businesses. Not that i am biased in any way, but the sound of people being happy and enjoying themselves will always be preferable to the monday night insult to our ears. Luckily things will change next year and perhaps varied musical entertainment will be on the cards, folk nights, rock nights, blues nights strippers, comedy nights etc mc3 - 17 Dec 2008 10:24 |
| For the last few years we have been eating, drinking and enjoying jazz at The Cricketers almost every Monday evening. We spend about 2000-2500 pounds per year and we attract others to join us at our table, two of whom now eat there regularly. Last Monday evening was ruined by an excessively large party making the inevitable deafening noise, with no care for other customers or for the musicians. We cancelled the table for next week because it is clear the same will happen again and that its regulars are not the priority customers for this pub. The pub manager's business plan (if there is one) is deeply flawed. He can fill the side area every Monday with jazz fans so it is counter-productive to put large one-off parties there. He has the front area and the snug empty on Mondays so that is where the extra customers should be seated. If he has to split them between tables then that is all to the good, as the two end groups on a long table cannot communicate and it is very difficult for the middle back customers to get up to relieve themselves. pburton - 12 Dec 2008 21:45 |
| This is a good pub that unfortunatly seems to be going downhill. The interior is drab and is well past its sell by date, it could do with a full refurb before its too late! The beer, staff and food, as always remain excellent. mc3 - 11 Dec 2008 14:15 |
