Cricketers Arms in South Oxfordshire

Been once before so second time for us, brought daughter this time and she said best Thai ever and she’s well travelled… !! Wonderful food and lady so helpful and friendly. Absolutely perfect. Going to make it a regular trip I think … Amazing 🤩

Best Thai I have eaten! Starters were amazing and the pad Thai and curries were so fresh and tasty! Really lovely relaxed atmosphere and service was great! Would definitely recommend!

The pub is fantastic - good food, friendly atmosphere, nice surroundings. The Thai food was fantastic, freshly-prepared and authentic - well worth a return trip.

Such a lovely find… beautiful Thai food a lovely pub with very friendly locals!! Would love to come back even though we live an hour away.

On the way home from Hertfordshire to Herefordshire did a quick search for ‘pubs near me’ and was pleased to find a Thai restaurant listed. What a fantastic find! Delightful staff, quaint pub, local ale & delicious food. We ordered salt & pepper squid with vegetable tempura starters and duck massaman, prawn red Thai curry & a fried salmon red curry mains. The food was absolutely delicious, the vegetables were fresh and meat & fish cooked really well. Really looking forward to visiting again! Highly recommend

A great meal - we’ve frequented other local Thai restaurants and this is our current favourite. Dining room a little rough around the edges, but don’t just a book by it’s cover… food and service excellent. We tried duck spring rolls, satay, Thai red, massaman and all was fantastic. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. See you again soon!

... that The Cricketers was no longer doing food. Fortunately all that has changed now and the chef that they have in doing their Thai offering is exceptional - fantastic to see Som Tum on the menu. Looking forward to many more meals there.

What a find, my daughter booked for 10 of us to dine on a Saturday evening as we were staying at the Oxfordshire golf club. From the off we were treated like we had been going there for years, nothing was too much trouble. The food we received was top drawer and reasonably priced. Should you find yourself this way we would highly recommend a visit. Cheers and thanks.

After a long Friday night drive down from near Manchester with my 18 year old son, we needed somewhere to recharge and relax. I had contacted the landlord earlier to check if we were OK to eat at 8pm. The reply couldn't have been more welcoming. On arrival we were made welcome by the staff and locals. Another nice touch was the landlord made the effort to come and come over and talk with us. The beer was spot on, and the food was fantastic. My son is a burger and chips expert and he rated it as the best he has ever had. I hope to be in the area again and this will be my go to place.

I was honestly impressed by this meal. A huge burger - cooked and dressed well - and some of the best wings I've had on this island. It's not fancy and you can certainly find "better" food nearby, but for a filling or cheap meal that the kids like, you won't do better than here. As a pub, it also does an excellent job. Plenty of seating outside on a quiet road with a good selection of local ales. Inside is rather small (think the pub for a small Welsh village).

Really nice local pub, people very friendly and welcoming - we joined in Thursday night quiz and had a fantastic burger (made by local butcher) - really good evening, thank you

This hidden gem has been lovingly brought back to life by a dedicated team of frankly lovely people. The inside has been brightened with a coat of paint and cleaned up to offer a fresh perspective. This is a small pub but it’s got a huge personality , exceeded only by the friendliness of the team . This is a local pub but you are made to feel welcome right away. Charming regulars, cute dogs a well stocked bar and a new additional side garden with its own bar a little slice of heaven. The menu is plentiful, great classics like fish and chips , burgers , hot dogs. Prices are more than reasonable.all the food is cooked fresh to order, none of this ready made rubbish. We were welcomed back this weekend and everything was run like a military operation , face masks - table service with a smile - a one way system that made sense and happy smiling people. They even ordered the sun for us! Lee or badger as he is locally known is the chef, comedian, barman and very much the host with the most. The rest of the gang are an equal match for enthusiasm and they are lovely. Book yourself a table and experience a real English pub you will not regret it.

A warm welcome awaits you at The Cricketers from David and Jo. Friendly service along with a good selection of food. The takeaway service is also great with good communication and covid restrictions being applied. Can highly recommend the buffalo wings- a great asset to Wheatley.

Found this place while just looking for somewhere to eat and drink while in Wheatley. Really good food and the service was brilliant, super friendly staff and Dave the owner even drove us back to our hotel at the end of the night

The food here is REALLY good. Quality, locally sourced beef burgers, perfectly crunchy chips, the onion rings and mozzarella sticks are fab also. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. New owners have put a lot of effort into doing up the garden areas and making the place nice. Good selection of drinks available.

We visited the pub for the Steak night special. It was amazing! We had a T-Bone and Fillet and both were very tasty! Being a very picky Steak eater myself, the Chef recommended the Fillet and was cooked to perfection! The pub had a lovely atmosphere and served an array of drinks. Recently been taken over and refurbished bringing a village pub back to what it should be. Will definitely be back soon!

We were in the area on a little trip away, and decided on a cycle out and of course a drink, we stumbled upon ‘The Cricketers’ and were not disappointed! Dave and the team are so welcoming and the ale is fantastic, and local! Shame we are heading off today, would have loved to of tried the food, seen the band this weekend and participated in a game of Aunt Sally! We will definitely return! Highly recommend this lovely little gem of a pub!

The best burger I’ve had in a really long time. Came with all the trimmings and loads of fries. Great value for money and excellent service. Can highly recommend.

Decided to visit this lovely little pub,tucked away in LIttleworth and sample one of the much acclaimed burgers that we had heard about.We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and plentiful .The pub has gone through a much needed renovation. We are now welcomed into a light and modern interior and there is now an additional garden area to the rear of the pub with bench seating. The Cricketers is a traditional pub in every sense with genuine hosts that go out of their way to make sure that your visit is memorable ..would recommend you sample their hospitality ,you will not be disappointed.

So impressed with the burger! Had a New York stack. Couldn't finish the chips as burger was so filling (took home a doggy bag though). Beef from local butcher. Hash brown nice and crunchy, not oilyOnion ring was beautiful.Just excellent food.Owners were lovely. Super friendly, honestly interested in what we thought of the food, and rightly proud of it!

My son and I popped into the Cricketers Arms one eveving for a quick meal and pint. It was midweek and very quiet but he landlord and bar staff were very friendly and accommodating. Decent Fish & Chips but a bit cold in the bat area.

We popped in as we were staying near by for a couple of days in Oxford, we walked in and my heart sank, We (wife, son 12 and I) just wanted a simple supper, the place had dozen or so locals and they all looked around...paused...then all smiled and said hello! We asked if we could eat and thought they would say no, we don't do food! Ha ha the lovely lady said yes of course, the locals said go that way near the fire. It was a chilly night, simple food, very well priced. The chilli I had was awesome. My wife and son had scampi. Cannot praise them enough, a small pub with a massive personality. Really pleased we found it. Just perfect for us for a quick bite in a very friendly spot. Probably not great for a first date, but meal with friends if you enjoy a traditional English pub, this is not a gastro pub....thank goodness! Top marks

Our first visit to this small pub/restaurant on the outskirts of Wheatley.We can echo the comments of others that we received a very friednly welcome from the landlord.Small car park could probably accomodate four cars, but it seemed most people were locals and must have walked.They have a few special nights when you can get a meal and a drink for £10, so we took advantage of their FIsh and Chips Friday, which came with mushy peas and a pint.Quite a good selection for vegans, vegetarians and gluten free options.We sat outside in the small garden which contained three tables.Seemed very popular with the locals, and was filling up nicely when we left.

Visited the pub on our way back to London after a day trip to Oxford. Really friendly staff and locals. Burgers were delicious and the kids menu had good selection. Our kids both opted for sausage, chips and beans... followed by ice cream. Needless to say two very happy munchkins. Would happily recommend and return if we are in the area again! They have a very informative website too!

Love this pub, so glad I found it ! lovely welcome by Stuart the landlord, the wood burner was on and quickly warmed us up. This very traditional pub is also popular with the locals which gives it life ! I recommend the Thai red curry perfect amount of heat and quantity, my Dad had the Gumbo which he loved, mum had the chilli with amazing melt in the mouth nachos and my partner had the blue cheese burger (which is hand made) ! Really looking forward to coming back soon !

Looking for a 'local' venue with good food. The Cricketers was precisely that. Welcoming, and with good, hot food at a great price. Took advantage of one of the offers of the night with an inclusive drink. Good humoured, friendly local clients, log fire.Close to Wheatley and East Oxford, just a few minutes drive into a village setting.

We had a nice meal here and were pleasantly surprised at the menu. Offering a much more extensive range than the average village pub, a good number of which were gluten free.No parking at the pub, park in the open area about 100 metres up the road to the north east.

Only a short walk from Allianze stadium, and a 15min cab ride from darling harbor , the cricketers arms was the perfectly located for a few cold beers before the game. Vibrant atmosphere

We had scampi and burgers and they were properly home-made and home cooked chips-not huge portions but enough. Took a little time to be served but it was being cooked to order so was fresh. Friendly people. I would have liked to try everything on the varied menu.

stumbled upon this pub and I'll be honest it's very traditional decor meant I wasn't sure what I'd be getting. The menu was full of home made tasty food!veggie options and gluten free, I was so pleasantly surprised!! Very tastey too and very responsibly priced.

This is a wonderful village pub, I had a really good time visiting it. It's very local, everyone is super friendly, and it feels like home.

Enjoyed another visit to this very cosy little real ale pub near Wheatley. Outstanding real ales kept in prime condition. Excellent home cooked food... recommend the home made chilli and selection of fab home made burgers. Genial host Stuart always makes us so welcome and prices are really reasonable. cosy, homely atmosphere... Lots of CAMRA awards for the fine ales. What more could you ask for !

A lovely little traditional village pub, friendly folk and good home cooked food. Very reasonably priced we will definitely pop in again if we are down that way.

Un buen pub país con un menú de comida de pub y magníficamente conservada cervezas. Cada vez que visito no puedo resistir las hamburguesas que son caseras y mi hamburguesa favorita El diablo vino a Littleworth burger es muy sabroso. El pub ofrece una noche regular semanal burger un lunes, y es una fantástica relación calidad-precio a £10 por una hamburguesa y una bebida. El menú ofrece platos sabrosos, con opciones vegetarianas. Así que dale una oportunidad y no te decepcionará, nos aconsejaron que llamen sólo para comprobar que podíamos llegar a comer.

Lovely pub, I think I was the only none local in the pub. but I was made very welcome and directed to a warm place by the fire. A good pint and a very nice meal

Had the homemade chilli, one of the best I've had for a while. Just the right side of spicy without blowing your head off. Good value too. And good ale.

Weekly visit to sample Chilli and Chips - home made! Excellent beers too, frequently changing, always interesting and always well looked after.

es una cabaña acondicionada como resto, una genial idea, porque el lugar es grandioso. La comida de muy fresca, ricos vegetales

Qué este fue, una noche maravillosa con comida recién preparada, el pastel de carne con cerveza era deliciosa y verduras chili maravilloso de acuerdo a mi esposa. Aunque el pub no es el más grande que encontrará sin duda no carece de carácter o calidad de hospitalidad, comida y cervezas.

We visited this pub as a band we like were playing, what a find. We had a lovely meal, pie,chips and peas with real hand cut chips and there was a good selection of ales. What sets this pub apart though is the most welcoming landlady and landlord, thanks to Angie and Stuart we had a great night.

This little village pub is a real gem. Has won many CAMRA awards for its consistently excellent real ales kept in fine condition by landlord Stuart. The guest ales change regularly due to fast turn over enjoyed by locals and visitors from further afield alike. Home cooked food here is great too. Landlady Angie prepares home made pies, real hand cooked chips, superb chilli and several other tasty meals at reasonable prices. Friday is fish and chip night with home made mushy peas and a free pint of ale ! Cosy and friendly, this is always my first choice in Wheatley for fine ale and wonderful freshly prepared home cooked food. Highly recommend it.

Went here with my husband as he found it in the good beer guide, and what a find it was. The best real ales for miles, superb homemade food (pies and chilli is amazing). Will definatley be back. 10/10

Small local freehouse selling good beer populated mostly by locals. Not a lot of room inside and it would help if those working behind the bar could occasionally smile. Worth popping in if you are passing.

We were saying in Wheatley for the weekend and saw this place on Trip Advisor. It's tucked away and parking's not easy. However this is a proper pub that's used by locals with good beer and home cooked food. The menu is a bit limited, but this is not a restaurant.The home made nachos are to die for. Chilli, lasagne and scampi all good with proper chips. The pub was having a birthday party and was full. If I lived in Wheatley, I'd always be in here.

Great homecooked food! Finally somewhere that cooks proper home made chips and not those that fall out of freezer.Great Steak and Ale pie too, also home made! People really welcoming. Recommend phoning ahead and asking for a car space!

Such a lovely warm welcome. Great food, good value for money. Lovely atmosphere. Locals make you very welcome.Landlord and landlady lovely to talk to. Must try the chilli amazing.

We visited again last night to taste the international food menu - WOW, Steak fajitas were superb and the strawberry trifle was a delight, thanks again for a great night!

Excellent ales fresh crisp lagers chilled ciders what more can u ask for. Plus excellent service and welcoming.

The Cricketers continues to be a favourite and last Saturday reaffirmed this again! Chilli food night was fab. The food was amazing, the beer on top form and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. It is not to be missed.

For the second year in a row i went along to the Beer & Sausage Festival they hold (20th - 22nd Feb), once again i had a great time, the food was good, they had a good range of sausages which were well cooked and well priced. They also had a good range of Local Beers and a few Ciders. The staff were polite and the service was great. The pub itself is a lovely building with a great atmosphere.I would highly recommend this pub!!

The ale is great but the home cooked food is fantastic. My favourite place to eat in the Wheatley area. I would recommend and take my friends there any night of the week.

Good ale, good food. Unspoilt atmosphere. Try Lamb dish. Ale is from local brewery. Not too crowded.
