Cricketers Arms in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Lovely food n very prompt on service

Portion sizes have dropped and price has increased since last visit. But still, how they cook a rump so good, is beyond me

We love the food and the company there all staff so friendly

Great pub, loads of TVs for watching sports, clean friendly, decent pint

Meals for 16 came out at the same time, food is amazing. Staff are amazing! Wish this was closer to home.

Steak was superb, best chips I have had for a long time. Staff very friendly and will go out of their way.

Crackin steak great friendly atmosphere

Great food valve definitely for money

Excellent pub recently refurbished. Good choice of food and drinks. Efficient and polite staff. Suitable for wheelchair users. No car park but ample street parking. Fully recommend a visit.

Poor all round,much better local Establishment’s,still wondering why I paid for such sub standard food and service,don't go here,go to the royal castle just round the corner,sooo much better!!

Over priced and burnt. Firstly bar staff crap at job. Save your money and go to the Yew tree or the Castle if local so much better. The waitress was friendly though. Defo won't be going again. This was a Saturday night and the place was empty. Speaks volumes

Very nice steaks, which is what we went for. All the food was good, flavoursome and enjoyable. If you compare to a Miller and carter I found the steaks here much more flavoursome and cheaper, so if you like your steaks put this place on your to do list Not a football fan and that was on every screen you could see. We do plan on returning with more guests next time who also want to try the steaks, that will be in September, so yes all round enjoyable and a return planned.

Lovely place and staff. Very friendly atmosphere 👍🍻

Sound place to go for a quickie

Went with group of friends first time chicken came out cremated after it was sent back and a fresh one was done that one came out undercooked and was slimy in the middle. My friend asked for a medium steak and was more rare and mine was like chewing leather. First time I came a week or so ago the meal was pretty good, this chef today shouldn’t be in the kitchen awful meal won’t be coming back

Naan bread swimming in oil. Chips hard as undercooked and raw in middle. Peas like bullets, as for the curry, no words to describe it. AVOID!!!

Seemed to wait a long time for our food order. We were a party of 10 and ordered our food first but received it last. We booked a table for a certain time , not ready at the time . Very busy , didn't seem to be enough staff. Food okay , prices competitive.

Went for a family birthday although not a quiet pub the atmosphere was great and the food was amazing and reasonably priced,the service was very good too .would highly recommend

It's alright, more of a locals place than somewhere you'd go out for a day, great place to watch the footy but full of albian fans 😢 food is average not bad by any means but not great

Haven't been here for a few years due to becoming vegetarian but it is still absolutely fantastic and bought my son to experience the steaks I used to have. The food ,service is impeccable. The chef is seriously well organised and brilliant. Food is served as soon as cooked. Felt welcomed as soon as we walked in. This is the place if you want big steaks cooked to perfection. 32oz and 50oz steaks available .Great atmosphere. Thanks

Surf and turf was lovely and food service was quick

What a lovely little tardis .. when we first drove there it didn't look that inviting from the outside... but we went back because of the reviews.. I was amazed when I walked in, its beautiful and clean lots of seating (obvs still being upgraded in some parts) the food was spectacular and I can't wait to visit again ... we had the steak and was better than M&C ❤️

Can see why this place has died down. Awful food then wlhen you complain nothing is done every time you order. There is something missing.. call manager over and he does not care really unprofessional

We shared a mix platter nan and chips. All very fresh and nan was the best I'd had in a long time so light.

Had one of the tastiest steaks in a long time.. cooked to perfection..

Been half a dozen times now and the food is fantastic

Went out with friends for a quiet meal and catch up. This is marked as a Steak House, so I decided to put it to the test. We ordered drinks and meals and sat at our table, the pub wasn't very busy at 7pm . Food turned up around 20 minutes 1 x 10oz ribeye 1 x 16oz rump (lookedmore like 32oz) massive, 2 x gammon steaks . My Rump done medium was amazing, very succulent, and tasty. There is no carpark. My only grip was it had NO real ale on a pull ( Shipyard, Punk). I would definitely recommend this place for somewhere to eat. And next time I'm going to try to India meals. Carl

Good food, decent service, it's a bit of a sports bar when football is on which is a shame IMO but it probably makes them money

The best Indian food I have ever had.

Ordered a mighty mixed grill (well done) for everything to come out half cooked especially the lamb there wasn't a piece of meat on it was just pure fat, I complained to the one person running round trying to maintain everything, she asked if I wanted another lamb cooking which I agreed to, for it to never arrive the place is a shambles

Great food decent prices massive portions

Realy good couple of hours in there. 3 meaty lamb chops(not those skinny boney ones ya get at green king pubs and places like). Propper chips and mushrooms that actually found their way into a fryig pan. Best pub meal in ages. Had a laugh with the landlord ( man untd supporter but hey we all have issues) and his brother (liverpool fan and a legend). All the staff were ace and friendly and the locals very chatty. In short it was a lovely end to a troublesome few days. I'd be there more often if the council sorted out facilities for us truck drivers. Anyway deffo worth a visit if you can get close.

Always a great experience when I visit this establishment. Friendly Pub

Great place and atmosphere for a meet up before the baggies games

Ordered peri burger and it turned up with peppers on that i cant eat after I ordered mild salsa to be then told by the chef that salsa has peppers in 🤣. When it came back the chicken was as tough as anything and not even peri seasoned. Had better burgers down the villa . Would not recommend.

Brilliant place for drinks and food whilst watching sports

First time I've been there, would definitely go again. Good friendly atmosphere and the food was excellent 👌

Nice and busy on match day. Had 3 pints of Atlantic, lovely.

Great place always made welcome

Nice open place welcoming staff their menu caters for vegetarian and non vegetarian ample choices nice food waited only 15minutes for food very nice

Best steak around ive had 16 32 and 5oz all like butter to say its rump lamp chops are to die for aswell orgasam food

Experience was disgusting paid £25 plus for a 3 family person meal Course. my daughter had a microwaved macaroni cheese meal which she left. i had a beef burger that was so cremated I might as well have been chewing on coal. and my partner had a steak medium that was so rare it might as well have been grazing in a field, not only was it raw it was colder than the beer😂😂 and that saying something 😂😂

The bar staff was miserable food was good manners cost nowt

Went there tonight.food was rubbish made my wife and me sick.pub very dirty Don't go here disgusting.

Excellent service, great food and sensible prices.

Great place to eat n good on price to

One of the best tasty steak meals we have had, great price too Thank you

staff was very rude terrible customer service, not very clean just spicy no actual flavor to the curry would give no stars if i could waste of money wont be returning

It's always great atmosphere there. Go every other day and it's always a good laugh. Staff and gaffer are so friendly

Beautiful food and speedy service. Best steak I've had in years.

Lovely restaurant / pub. Staff polite and food was great

Food and service very good and staff very welcomeing

Great staff. Food not bad, can be better.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, an excellent range of food available. Look forward to our next visit.

Great place lovely staff and food

Looked like a small pub from outside but was large inside and the food was fantastic, I had all meat Sunday dinner, meat was so tender, stuffing ball was really nice, I couldn't fault anything, I will definitely be eating there again.

First time here and wont be the last,I've travelled far and wide and visited great pubs/restaurants.This is up there with the best.Amazing food/atmosphere.Thoroughly recommend,You wont be disappointed!!

Absolutely the worst meal I have ever eaten… I regularly have Indian Mix Grills at numerous locations and this was by far the worst! The food was not tasty the naan tasted like hairspray and the portion sizes were so small… I have eaten at a number of bar and grills in the area and this is not a patch on them… do not waste your money on the Indian food however the reviews for the steak look good so who knows 🤷‍♀️

Fantastic driver had to put up with mate but still remained professional

If you like a good juice steak 😋 this is the place to be. Fantastic chef 👌 place is clean and easy to find.

Good food at very reasonable prices

Food not great ask for something not to be added specific but added twice

Tried the gammon steak, amazing chef👌

Lovely friendly pub and really nice food. Stunning steak

A Good pub, with the bar in the middle of the pub. Quick service, what more can you ask for..

I loved this place. It came recommended by family and we really enjoyed our meals. In the pic added was 16oz Tbone.

Medium steaks were raw well done was burnt and pink in middle ice cream was served to you in pots they came in not a bowl very unprofessional apple pie pastry was raw took it back still sent it back raw usually the steaks are cooked to perfection with the other disappointed tonight the chef on tonight hadn't got a clue won t be returning

Great place, good atmosphere, good value for money food, varied menu and excellent well kept beers.

Hands down lovely pint foods smashing make sure you go and try it!!! You won't be let down

Steak under cooked, unfinished drink removed from table, refused a drink at 10.50pm even though regulars were still being served, will not be going back

Amazing food. Well priced. Cozy

Absolutely brilliant me and my fiance love it here haven't been for over a year,it was my partners birthday today so I knew he would like to have enjoyed there t bone steaks so I treated him here and Debbie was a delight couldn't do enuff for us,pre booked here for my birthday next month with the family

Great food great service amazing quality and portion size

Had the 50oz rump steak cooked medium rare. It was cooked right and everything but I found it to be extremely dry. It needed some garlic butter on the top or something. Obviously couldn't finish it all but ended up just leaving what was left instead of taking it because the staff were none existent and found to be sitting with the regulars chatting.

Covid 19 safe,atmosphere is relaxing food is great. Service with a smile.

Great place brilliant owner's fantastic staff nice food good family atmosphere....👍

Lasagne was rated 5/10 no meat , garlic bread barely toasted . Half rack of ribs ..4/10 well done on the outside but not cooked Long enough So very tough Mixed grill .. 4/10again very poor , meat was very tough Staff were nice but needless to say we wont be returning

Great food at affordable prices

We called in for our evening meal(a party of four) The cricketers is well knownfor its steaks but also for very tasty curries. I had the chicken tikka masala withh the usualrice etc.I also ordered a keema naan thinkingI would just try a small portion. It was so thin, and well filled that I ate the lot myself. Do try The Criketers

First time there a couple of weeks ago. Great atmosphere. 👍

Excellent. So impressed with there social distancing procedures. Have to use a table app to order. But is so easy to use. The food was excellent, the steak you could cut with a butter knife. Highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful food, brilliant service, cant fault this place at all , been going here for a number of years now , cant beat it , management and staff are amazing.

Can't fault it for the price. The food was great as was the service. It all seemed covid secure, details taken, hand sanitizer available at the entrance and the ordering and payment is all done via a qr code that takes you to their website. Would recommend and would certainly visit again!

Food is absolutely amazing would tell amy one to eat there

We scanned our covid-19 app as we entered the restaurant there was hand sanitizer for us to use, we were then seated in our own booth. We were able to view a menu and order our drinks and meals at our table from a QR code attached to each table the waitress who delivered our drinks and food was very pleasant and polite, the meals were perfectly cooked and plentiful the only drawback I could see was there was no where to request no ice.

Safe environment, fantastic food and great service 😀 will visit again

The food was raw and tasteless, no parking facilities are available. A bit difficult if u have small children with no parking available. I didn't enjoy the food.

I've been coming here for over a year and still best eat out food i know great staff shannon is lovely friendly as well as chef jobey TOP MAN TOP PLACE recommended thanks

Food disappointing service was dyer won't be returning

Food was poor, I had chicken korma and it didn't taste like chicken at all.. It was either over cooked or wasn't chicken

Lovely steak. The best ive had in ages really good 👍
