The Cricketers, Woodford

............. PREVIOUS COMMENT on here , Having moved away from the area and just moved back gave this a go again last week. The place is as exactly how I remembered it. still quite unfriendly and hard to get to the bar and once I got there I was met by an awful girl who said nothing just raised her eyes and had a face like thunder slammed my change down and I did not even dare ask for a top up in case she went mad. Why they employed her is a mystery as she obviously does not want to be there. Beer was quite nice, Adnams Broadside at west end prices though. probably the best pub around the area despite the service.

i have been in here a few times, and to be honest its a few times to many and my last visit was the last. there are many nice pubs in the area, this is not one of them, its dark,depressive,and the locals make you feel about as welcome as a fox in a chicken coup. first of all the locals, snob city, its woodford , not windsor for god sake. The ales are decent with a good range, prices are average for the area. the food is ok. i feel allowing dogs in the lounge where food is served is just wrong and i will look up the environmental health to seek advice on this.

There was one customer who is always in this pub and he thinks he has the right to talk to others with such a disgusting tone, wine and this man do not mix and id rather just avoid him than listen to him babble on about music and from what i could make out, healing with hands.
this pub needs a big revamp and more modern décor, the fact it still has a separate bar and lounge is not a pub to be moving with the times.

Come on McMullens, pull out your finger and modernise this place. the staff would benefit from a course of customer care and not rely on the regulars to absorb the rude attitudes staff come forward with.
