Cricketers in Medway

Great service and staff very clean will be returning

The starter and dessert was lovely, the main not so good, veg was under cooked and was unable yo eat them

We are a group of 6 close friends who come together for a golden girls luncheon once a month. We have been to many establishments this year some good and some not so great for all manor of reasons. We have now been to the cricketers more times than any and on each occasion the atmosphere has been very pleasant, staff have gone over and above to make sure we are well looked after. Although we had to wait quite some time to receive our meals on our last visit the food is always good quality, very nice indeed and value for money. We would all like to say a special thankyou to Lou for her great service. She always works so hard and goes out of her way to make sure we have all we need and are happy throughout our visit and does it all with a smile. Thankyou Lou

We didn't eat here, so I've not rated the food. Nice, decent sized pub with a good selection of beers and served by friendly staff.

Visited lunchtime, Brilliant service, friendly staff, nice food and drink. Will be visiting again.

Came to watch a great band play and it was a great night the only problem was the pub was so busy you waited almost 20 mins or more just to get drinks at the bar. The bar staff looked stressed out and did not have a clue who was next to be served. I just gave up waiting to be served and just enjoyed the night sober 🤣

It's been a while since we visited but has changed so much. In a surprisingly quiet pub for 6.15pm on a Friday we were greeted with some apathy. Food was fine but maybe staff were having an off night or its just not a nice place to work as even though it was not busy it felt a bit as if we were a nuisance to be ordering food (although we did book in advance and only about a quarter of the tables were being used). After our meal ,about 8.10, we were discussing dessert and told to hurry up if we wanted to order. Fair enough if the kitchen closes at a certain time but it was the way we were spoken to. Then we were told it was too late to order coffee, then the staff came round to remove wine glasses from our table, we could drink up or pour the remainder into plastic glasses - all this before 8.30pm. We're two couples approaching free bus pass age so not exactly fearsome, but that's their licensing agreement now apparently. Not aware of any other pub or restaurant in the area that does this. Maybe if its not safe to have glass out on an evening, that's why staff aren't happy to work there. We left shortly after instead of staying on for a drink, its a big place but only a few people remained. Shame really, used to be a thriving high street pub.

Visited here on Friday night was a fairly quiet evening, nice when you want a quiet drink and makes a change for the cricks normally very busy and loud. We ordered food as felt hungry when other food was coming out, ordered cheese burger topped chips they were good. Love coming to this pub

Great sports pub. Loads of TV screens.

Great charity day out food spot on, well done crickters team smashed it an amazing day my daughter loved singing frozen karaoke!

Had a great work event. Team couldn't have provided better service for us. So accommodating to our needs and requests. Had a buffet and the food was lovely. Would 100% consider for another event. Thank you

Had the Wednesday Burger & pint for £10 absolutely perfect, Andy the chef produced a perfect burger that was full of flavour and cooked to perfection whilst the service and banter in the bar was more than you should expect had a wonderful experience. Very pleased

Great place to grab a drink and some food

Went to The Cricketers for a Sunday Roast, not only was the food amazing, but so was the service that was given. Ellis was extremely helpful! Will be booking again

Very good PH with good prices all round . Sport in most areas if your a sport lover . 5☆ pub with parking and garden

We came to the cricketers to have a meal for my sisters birthday. We all loved the food and had a great night. Service was great too. Will definitely come back soon.

Long time since I last went here, but so much better now

A lovely pub with great food and service from the staff. Ellis was really welcoming and knowledgeable on the range of beers that were on offer. Will definitely be back.

Great pub for sport the football atmosphere is amazing in here. Food is great highly recommend the Burgers. Drinks really good prices. Will be back often. Great service by Ellis, Lyndsay & Marshall

I started going to the Cricketers because of quiz night but have found the staff and service remarkable. CJ has always been welcoming and cheerful even when I ring to book a table. He is always helpful and due to this, I have started to suggest it as a place to go with my friends, especially when there are events on. I would recommend the Cricketers to anyone as a place to go to just purely based off of the service i’ve received here, plus when you’re hungry, you never have to wait long for it to be on the table.

Great pub for a meal and night out, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Recently went for a family meal, and Ellis was really helpful with giving allergen information and ensuring we received excellent service.

Absolutely great pub, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and quick service. Food was fresh and delicious ( fussy eater here 😁) CJ and a lady behind the bar is definitely a benefit for the Cricketers as they made us feel very welcomed. Highly recommend. Will return soon ♥️

Had a delicious steak sandwich . Steak is not so easy to get right but they seem to have a handle on it Great selection of drinks often with special offers. Lovely facilities and well placed tables in little cubicles outside 😀

Well, where do I start? My family and I entered the restaurant, and we asked where can we sit as no one paid any attention to us. We were told to sit at any table. Not knowing the restaurant, we sat there for 10 minutes and figured out on our own that we had to go to the bar to order. My wife ordered the taco dish, and we asked if she could only have chicken as the menu item did specify pork & chicken. The person who took the order said it was all chicken. When it came, of course, it had pork as well. We were then scolded as to how we should have ordered specifying any allergies, etc. We tried to explain to the "manager" that she just preferred chicken, as she doesn't eat pork. He lectured us on what we should and should not have said to the person taking the order. However, he did change it. My son's burger was "so-so." My daughter's pasta was below average. The chicken stips were lukewarm, probably taken from some frozen pack. I asked for a well-done steak, and it was medium. I wish I could show the picture here. Just a horrid experience. Bad service, bad food and bad attitude of manager or whatever he is and staff. Upon leaving, he was very sarcastic stating "have a nice day, and see you again soon," with a smirk on his face. We just ignored him and didn't react to their "wonderful" service. I hope there were no other reasons why we received that type of treatment in that small village in South England.

Clean pub with good clean food . Sport bar with lots of tv going on . Staff were well friendly with good beer knowledge and promoting double up for £2 . 5☆

Bang on sports PH. Food is quick and good . Parking on site . 5☆

Brilliant warm and welcoming atmosphere staff excellent food well cooked and value for money

Great staff! Pleasantly surprised. Young guys, but super efficient and friendly.

Nice people,quick efficient service,thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great time at this pub. The football atmosphere has been brilliant

Just had a quick pint. Friendly staff.

If you want to drink in the a night club fill your boots.

Me and a bunch of mates went here to watch the champions league final. The atmosphere was good however the live music that night wasn't great and I feel they should've stayed to one type of entertainment as it just was too loud with no defining noise. The pub was basically split in half although everyone had left on the love music side.

Lovely, helpful & friendly staff Easy access with parking. Will return

Fantastic Pub, food is good n great beer's.

The Cricks is a friendly place with a good atmosphere Special mention to Bradley who was our server-lovely, friendly and polite, he's an asset to the team who work in this pub He is super pleasant and works hard to please. Food was standard Greene King, and excellent value for money We would, and will, happily return

Excellent service Very professional

Very sorry for the report before..but my phone was "interfered"with.We found the food and hospitality very good.

Nice food and at a good price. Seniors get 2 courses for £6.99.

Came here today had gammon and chips the rosemary sea salted skin on fries what can I say absolutely delicious meal been here a few times to eat the lasagne is lovely this pub has really turned around for the better staff here are lovely as well Ellis is lovely highly recommend the food here thank you.

I come to this pub quite a lot whether that’s with my mates or my family. Wide variety of both food and drinks so you shouldn’t struggle to find something you like here. The team are great and are always ready to help and take your order, and at the weekends the atmosphere is the best whether that’s for sport, music or just a catch up and a drink. Been coming here for years and still will be for years to come. Could not recommend it anymore.

Been coming here with a couple mates for years now, great selection of beers, wines, IPA’s. Staff are great, good chat and banter. Never had any issues. Security always on point and easy to approach. And always good access to live sports. Also child and pet friendly. Would highly recommend

Amazing service and lovely staff!

Excellent service and menu good selection

My wife desperately needed the toilet just as we'd left & walked next door to the adjacent carpark when she realised she wouldn't make our 25min journey home for a pee & really did need to go now or she would wet herself.. We pleaded with the younger girl on the door that refused our re-entry for my wife to please use the toilet & the young lady was blatantly blunt to say my wife could not come in for a pee (despite many other people being in the pub still).. We mentioned the presence of others still being in the pub & we were still declined for my wife's desperate need for the toilet.. When we mentioned the others still being in the pub that hadn't left as instructed, we were told they all work here, which was clearly a lie as some people were still sat at tables drinking & clearly not staff.. One of the guys inside the door (said his name was Owen) had got physical with my wife, pushing her from the door.. this was distressing for not only my wife directly (she's tiny, 5ft zero & weighs about 7.5 Stone) but myself & our two friends that were with us for the evening.. I mentioned that we'd spoken with CJ tonight & he had been absolutely lovely to us all evening & pleaded to please allow my wife to use the toilet as she was desperate, the young girl who had declared by this point quite in a very smug manner to be the landlady's daughter said that CJ had gone home & only staff were allowed in the building.. Well, ironically a chap we used to know who used to frequent the Good Intent pub in Rochester that we used to go to, was outside during this whole ordeal & we said hello to him & then they let him back in even though he doesn't work there.. He even kindly asked on our behalf if they could let my wife in for a quick pee.. the young lady still said no..! I said to the young lady that this chap isn't staff, so how come he is allowed in with these other people still in the pub & my wife can't come in for a pee.. She said, he is coming upstairs after as was friends of theirs.. Despite the young lady saying earlier that it was company policy to not let non staff members in the pub.. Our friends even pleaded with the young lady & mentioned how desperately my wife just needed a pee.. & she replied.. Well, you'll be home in a minute & you can go then can't you..! I replied, that this is not the case as we live about 25mins away.. The young lady then had the audacity to say we were irresponsible people to be drinking & driving..! After her false accusing remark, I then replied & mentioned to her that 1 of the 4 of us who's driving us all this evening does not drink alcolhol at all & has been drinking diet-coke all night (which we could prove on our bar orders) & is perfectly legal to drive.. I said to the young lady how it was such a shame to end what was a great night in this sad way as CJ & the Landlady herself were both lovely.. The young lady agreed, they are both lovely & added, but we're not (speaking on behalf of herself & Owen) who were refusing my wife's use of the toilet, although she was clearly absolutely desperate to use the toilet.. As a result, we had no choice but to leave & my wife ended up wetting herself in the carpark next door to the pub before we left.. To say we are disgusted with the attitude from the daughter of the Landlady & Owen is an understatement, especially as there were other customers & a non-employee let back in the pub in front of us at the door.. I truly hope all of this is on camera in the Greene Kings pub at the Cricketers, Rainham & even better, I hope there's clear audio to go with it as I would like to see them challenge anything I've said here as this is an honest & true account of what happened & it's gutting that there seems to be one rule for some & another rule for others despite the company policy that was portrayed to us..! We are deeply disappointed with Greene King for allowing this inhumane experience from some of the people they employ.. A sincere shame as other than this, we had, had a great evening & this forced us to all leave feeling quite upset indeed..

Good atmosphere and reasonably priced! Good service particularly from the barman Taylor !

Bar staff very loud. Dining environment limited due to quiz night.

Was made to wait while the barman was more interested in talking to others showing things on a mobile, then serving another customer at the bar who turned up after me, there was not alot of people at the bar so found it very rude. Normally it has been good, perhaps some bar staff training is needed! Decided to go to the Greedy Banker to spend my money

Only has dessert and a hot drink lunchtime during half term holidays. Large spacious pub with friendly staff. Toilets clean. Can't really comment on the food as main course was across the road in a cafe that became too loud so we popped over the road to the pub

First time there met up with friend for lunch. Can honestly say was lovely everything food service atmosphere. Also the attention was fantastic. Thanks so much to the staff especially the young gentleman behind bar that changed my order a bit. Will defo be coming back. Thanks 😊

A delicious lunch and exceptional service. Thank you to the lovely Louise, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all xx

Lyndsay and her team are the best👌👍

Love this pub. Staff go out there way to helping you with your needs meal wise. Xmas dinner yummy nice and plate was portioned well. Great place to catch up with friends good choice of beers ale on tap

Came here to watch a band. Crowded, very busy and quite expensive . Have to pay for parking !

Had a great afternoon in here with great company. Good choice of beers etc.

Food wasn't great and the gluten and dairy free aspect floored them but to be fair the manager was amazing managed to get me a steak Christmas dinner, although the steak was cold and for all the hassle I got a dairy free dessert which was amazing. Kitchen staff just need to sharpen their knifes a bit.

Excellent place to visit if you fancy a meal with friends or family. Great food, service is 100% and you are always made to feel welcome.

I really like this pub, I have not eaten there yet so cannot comment on that, but I like the size of the place, the fact there is plenty of room to sit down, and that its nice and local.

It's the same as pretty much every Green KBG pub. It's not a pleasant place to be at the weekend. Plastic cups and bouncers tell you all you need to know

Came here to watch a band . Very busy pub.

The menu is excellent. I tried the seniors' excellent value. Service is done with a smile, and staff is very helpful

Jacob was particularly helpful and made my otherwise awful day much brighter. Thank you for the food and your hospitality and patience.

Presentation and freshness of the meal could have been better.

Fantastic service by Ellis. Meal was delicious.

We had a discrepancy with what we paid for our drink but Eden was amazing she even spoke to the off duty manager and sorted it for us could not have asked for better service.

Good food, with friendly service and a lively atmosphere.

This pub previously was really nice and food was good. Now it's an absolute joke food is disgusting and service is even worse. The wait for food is ridiculous and then food was absolutely disgusting such a shame

Good, pleasant atmosphere to have dinner. Friendly and helpful staff. Could have more vegetarian options.

Plenty choice of meals and prices for seniors .Friendly serving staff . Ideal for lunchtime breaks

Lyndsay and her team are a credit to Greene King

Lively pub, which has been redecorated. Decent selection of beers

The cook Andy gave us a amazing meal cooked perfectly the bar staff jay and CJ were polite and helpful when asking for help would defently come here again

We normally go to Greene Kings as trust them, have a good one near where we live. We made the mistake of going in Friday evening around 7pm. So all table numbers had been removed so couldnt order on the app and there were no menus, quite busy. Ordered food, told most of the GF menu was out. Agreed to a superfood grain. When it came out, asked what was in the grains (looked strange) the waiter went in the kitchen to ask and then came out and avoided us so clearly no one knew. Tasted awful. Went up to get a drink, ages to be served, the bar staff seemed more interested in serving their friends, was stood at the bar 15 mins.

Nice pub but pints could be cheaper

1 hour wait for a burger. Didn’t arrive so we left and got a refund. No one else was really eating so no excuse for it to take that long. Wouldn’t come back here or recommend it if you want food !!

Looks like a recently refurbished establishment inside is lovely and there is a very large outdoor area. Cannot comment on the food but we found the drinks to be quite expensive compared to all of the other local pubs or Greene king establishments.

It was just the waiting time that let it down

Great food. Lovely staff. Thoroughly enjoyed!

All round good place staff are friendly and the food was good, overall a pleasant experience.

Great pub, dog friendly, very helpful and informative, great vegan options and drinks at a very good price, definitely going to come back soon

Great location, lovely outside areas and friendly staff

Pleasant atmosphere, nice meals

Love it down there Ellis & CJ always make me feel welcome.

Food and staff great. Great night watching the football. I’d recommend.

Lovely experience with live music great atmosphere lot's off laughing dancing and singing along.

I had a great evening, Harrison served me and a few friends and he was great! The food was yummy and the service was fast thank you!!

It was really nice and the service was amazing. Harrison Hubbard was the person who served me

Nice pub,, ok food, made 5 stars by great service and friendliness of Harrison. Need more like him. 🍻

Great pub with brilliant service! A member of staff, Harrison, was polite, helpful and friendly... we were very impressed with his service. Well done Harrison.

I would like to thank Harrison who was part of the bar staff, very polite and friendly young man. Thank you for your service.

Good sports Pub with greeneking beer . Food is good and fast .busy when sport is on ..all in all good Pub

Great service, Great prices and Great food!! Visited twice in a week. Katsu curry and mixed grill are standouts!! Highly recommended

Nice place. Great atmosphere at the weekend

What a rough pub! You get your drink in a plastic cup, my wife got a small bottle of wine in a plastic pint glass very very classy! There was 5 bouncers on a Saturday night around the place which says it all. Also the men's toilets had just sheets of ply screwed to the wall because of it all being kicked. Suppose the 1 star can be for that the drinks were slightly cheap

Very quiet on a Monday afternoon. Friendly staff. There was a limited menu on offer as the menu was about to change.

One of the better Wetherspoons in Medway. Food is decent, service is good.

Nice food and a bright and airy venue

Lad serving us so polite and friendly. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name. Put the football on for us. Told us to shout if the aircon was too cold and made sure our food was OK and all was alright

Great food and service, Taylor was especially helpful. Will be recommending

really good staff, one of the workers Taylor helped a lot to get all our drinks to us during busy hours
