The Cricketers Inn, Kingsley

Fantastic pub for drinkers, really good atmosphere - a real enigma of a watering hole this one, decorated in what can only be described as a truly unique style that is bizarrely in-keeping with the history of this 14th century dated pub. It strikes me as absurd to rate a pub on the basis of previous posts that are mostly well over 2 years old. There have been several terrible landlords that have ruined the reputation of this pub, notably the last two.
It must be said that the current Landlord, Marcus Kinge, has turned the place around massively and the Cricketers Inn has proven to be one of the best pubs in the area; serving top ales (at the perfect temperature of 12 degrees celsius) with excellent cellar maintenance and a rotation system that keeps the guest ales interesting and in demand. This pub also bucks the trend of other local drinking establishments going bust, as it is still busy most evenings and especially at weekends. Fantastic pub!!
