    Super food, as usual. Well presented, tasty, and creative. Service was excellent - prompt, attentive, but not intrusive. We really like The Cricketers and eat there as our first choice.

    Most of the food was good. One main course out of 6 was undercooked and returned. Still not right but alternative offered( refused) and then that serving was taken off the bill. All done with good Grace, well done!

    Amazing Sunday roast! We enjoyed the perfectly cooked sirloin roast beef and trio of meats. The crispy roast potatoes and selection of vegetables were also delicious! Family friendly local pub, would highly recommend!

    Amazing food. Really crispy roast potatoes which is rare to find! Really enjoyable food however lunch took over 3 hours for 3 courses which is a bit much.

    The Sunday roasts were superb, we had chicken, turkey, lamb and pork , One of each!) The service was excellent and we were not rushed, even though, due to a miscommunication on our part, we were an hour late starting our meal. We look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you to all the staff for great service.

    Disappointing. Overcooked lamb. Had to request mint sauce and apple sauce. Overall comparing to other local pubs we didn't have the good meal we'd expected.

    Most amazing roast pork lunch today, very good sized portion. Followed by the ice cream in a brandy snap basket with toffee sauce and popcorn, delicious! Staff very attentive and friendly. Good value too.
