Unfortunately I had a very poor experience on my most recent visit. I had booked a table a week before, and upon arriving we were told they were too busy to take our order and unable to say when we could order. We then went to the pizza 'hut' at the back to order from there instead and were told the wait was 1 hours too. Disgruntled, we ordered anyway and waited 1hr 05 for our food. We were then completely forgotten about, no one came to clear our plates, ask us if we wanted another drink we only had one from when we initially sat down and nor did they give us the dessert menu. I went up to the bar to pay myself and leave. A very, very disappointing experience and no apology from the staff or manager. This was a booking, not a walk in, and you should have had adequate kitchen staff. I have worked in restaurants since I was 16, and I'd have had the common sense to apologise to a customer and perhaps offer them a drink or tea/coffee on the house to try to make up for the poor service. Small gestures go a long way to make customers happy and there's much to be learnt here. A very poor experience. The stars I have left on this review are for the previous times I visited where the service wasn't quite as poor.
Lovey atmosphere in the pub, nice decor and a warm, cosy feel. Staff were friendly but a little inattentive. We paid the the 12.5% service charge that was automatically added to the bill but that did feel a but steep for the level of service we received. The food was ok. For £21.50 for roast beef, I was expecting a really good roast. The two thin slices of beef that despite what the menu said were not served pink, seemed a little mean. The tiramisu was ok. Would like to return to see if today was just a blip.
We had a lovely Sunday roast lunch with giant Yorkshire puddings! Friendly service and lovely pub. Dog friendly bar too. We had to pay £5 deposit per head for making a table reservation which gets taken off the bill. Lots of parking and great outdoor space too.
We were disappointed with our visit to The Cricketers, especially having seen such positive reviews. While the manager was pleasant, generally the service was quite slow and inattentive. For the meal, the ingredients were fresh and the roast potatoes were a highlight, but everything tasted very salty and would have benefited from a lighter touch in the cooking. The location and atmosphere were nice, but for our money there are other pubs in the area we would be more likely to revisit.
We visited The Cricketers for their Festive Set Menu which was £33 for two courses and £38 for three. For the quality of the food and quantity this represented good value. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, the food was delicious and plentiful. The atmosphere was very Christmassy with the log burner and pub nicely decorated for Christmas. All the guests seemed to be having a lovely time. Service was excellent. Easy parking behind this pub which is a Victorian gem and well worth a visit.
Stopped here for lunch mid-ride on my bicycle. Pint of Jake the Snake and a serving of the Chicken and Pesto Pasta renewed energy levels perfectly. Friendly staff, fast service and was even able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Waitress even offered to refill my water bottle before continuing en route. Think I might lunch whilst out for a cycle for often!
Lovely out of the way place with great food and service. Would recommend whole heartedlyFood: 5/5
Decent roast, friendly & efficient staff, nice decor. Really liked that they were playing music outside the front whilst everyone sat there in the sun - top marks for creating a great atmosphere!
Lovely setting, very well kept grounds. Loved the electric bikes Food: 4/5
Sunday lunch, The beef was cooked exactly as it should be, nice & red in the middle. But it was a cheap cut of Silverside. The leather soles of my shoes would have been more tender. Staff need better training serving across people sitting at the table such a shame, lovely place
