Much improved since the new lot turned up. Good range of wines, reasonable range of beers and lager, the beer can be of a variable standard though, and they seem to have no problem with hoards of screaming kids running about inside the place last time I was there, so we moved on.

Friendly staff, especially if you like to be told 'Enjoy!!!' every time you buy anything at all. (And yes, they do say it with three exclamation marks.) On the positive side, although I've been told to have a nice weekend and to enjoy the rest of the evening, I haven't been told to 'have a nice day' yet, or asked if I want fries with my Shere Drop.

And 'Shall I take these empty glasses for you?' ... What do you mean 'for me'? It's not *my* job!

I hope it doesn't continue down this route or it will end up as a creche that sells alcohol with a 'side order' of U.S. insincerity.

But if the 6-year-olds aren't in and you grit your teeth as you get handed your drink, it's still a very pleasant place.

Visited the new Cricketers the other day, and what a pleasant surprise it was! The place has definitely improved since the last time I was there. Originally only intended to go in for a drink, but whilst I sat there the food passing by looked so tasty and smelt so good I ended up caving in and getting a meal! I opted for the Spaghetti Bolognese, and practically licked the plate clean! It was affordable but completely worth every penny. I’ve always been a fan of the atmosphere in the Cricketers, and since its facelift things seem to have gotten better and better.

I thought I’d take the time to write a review for this place, because it’s not every day that you come across something so special. The Cricketers is a welcoming and homely place to visit. I spent the majority of my time admiring all the nooks and crannies; it reminded me a lot of my childhood home. As a fan of tradition, it doesn’t get any more traditional and timeless as this. The Cricketers pie of the day is absolutely mouth-watering. And to enjoy such classic, British food in a place that is filled with life and history is a real treat.

Has recently changed and I think it is somewhat better than previously. New bar staff are helpful and slightly over friendly. The food was nicely presented if pretty expensive. The choice of beers is very good. Better than the nearby Black Swan.

Tried this pub last Friday night with another couple – beautiful inside, full of character, very traditional. Whole experience was pleasurable from ample space in large car park, staff cheerful and friendly, food was great, I had the tuna steak which was good quality, we were so relaxed we stayed until they closed at 1am! Was great not to have to move on to another venue for drinks, was surprised they opened so late on Friday and Saturday but definitely works for us and we will definitely come back!
