Reviews Summary

The Cricket Inn is lauded for its exceptional service, particularly for events, and its creative, beautifully presented seafood dishes. While many praise the delicious food and friendly atmosphere, a few diners noted that some seating can be awkward, and occasional noise from cleaning or the bar below may occur.

"We had an anniversary party here on a Saturday evening. Amazing service, food and event.
Sophie helped us so much with arranging it beforehand, menu, decorating, DJ, cake.
Lorna and staff on the night were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble.
36 for a meal, bespoke menu, impeccable timing and service, tasty, hearty food. See photos - onion bhaji, oxtail arancini, herb crusted salmon, beef shin and ale pie and Cricket burger - proper tasty!
Bar staff excellent too, great selection of Thornbridge and guest beers.
Would highly recommend for an event or just a nice beer and meal. Thank you the Cricket Inn!"

Chris Wilson

"Booked a large table for mother in laws 80 something birthday, a mixture of ages with a 5 year old being the youngest. Absolute fantastic service, a real pleasure to be served by the brigade and expert handling of the birthday cake & candles. Great food options that all arrived together along with the drinks. Absolutely no complaints from our party."

Mark Rose

"Food was good, but not the five star I'd give to some other pubs nearby. Several tables have some really awkward tall benches for seats, not really suitable for an adult. The service was lovely."
