Cricketers Rest in Broxtowe

A great pub with lots of different cask ales

This is a nice little pub. Great beer. It has a lot of local regular clientele who stand at the bar but we enjoy finding a quiet table or sitting out back in summer.

Warm welcome very friendly staff and a brilliant atmosphere

Friendly Staff, the pizzas they serve are delicious, good atmosphere most of the time, however sometimes quiet

Brilliant singer on, great atmosphere

I liked the pub, but the barman is clearly in the wrong trade, not a people person at all.. which sadly dampened the atmosphere.

Fabulous atmosphere very welcoming love it

Nice pub and always a decent pint.

Small pub. Quite busy on the Friday before Christmas. Service is always prompt.

Over heard the manager saying children were pissing him off and couldn't wait for 9pm to kick them out, often very rude to paying customers. Not a very welcoming place. Wouldn't rush to visit

This is a lovely local pub, nice little area outside to the rear and a good selection of ale from Castle Rock.

Great pub ,with good choice of excellent Real Ales and very friendly staff.

First visit here. Lovely local pub with a beer garden at the back. Not a garden as such but an outdoor space with plenty of benches to sit on. Dog friendly, too.

Went along to Cricketers Rest to see Muckys celebrating their 2nd Birthday. Lovely local pub with a beer garden at the back. Not a garden as such but an outdoor space with plenty of benches to sit on. Dog friendly, too. Had some lovely burgers Homeboy BACON DOUBLE CHEESE It was all delicious as usual and would highly recommend a visit to their shop.

A very friendly pub, relaxing atmosphere, lovely helpful staff, and a good choice of castle rock beers, live sport and background music

Another great Caste Rock! Good beer at fair prices and friendly staff. The seating arrangement is nice and the atmosphere friendly. The main issue I found was parking! However, in light of the pleasant pub experience itself this was soon an afterthought.

Always smells a bit chemically and the service isn't always that friendly. Serves good beer though and a good range of spirits.

Today was my first visit for a long time. On arrival , I received a greeting from the barman … with a good selection of local ales, I ordered a Preservation from Castle Rock Brewery. It was in excellent condition and perfectly presented. The pub had a feel of a good local … although quiet, there was conversation between a number of regulars and I didn’t feel uncomfortable as a visitor. It was good to see a clean pub, especially the toilets! It’s a local pub that I will now try to visit more often.

Very friendly staff love it my local

Just popped in for a quiet drink. Nice vibe, great music. Friendly staff

Pub quiz good night for all with no chance of cheating.

Proper pub and a nice traditional interior. Needless to say the real ales are excellent as it's owned by the Castle Rock independent brewery. Had a pint of Harvest Pale which was spot on. Has a small yard to the back with outdoor seating.

Great local pub friendly staff and good beer will definitely be back

One of the best in Kimberley that you’ll find. The friendliest people that have made me feel so welcome to the area. I can’t recommend it enough. Perfect beer garden for the sunny days we’ve been getting!

Cracking little pub in the heart of Kimberley, great selection of real ales, BT and Sky Sports, dog friendly! 👍

Pleasant staff made us feel welcome

A proper beer drinkers pub with a nice little court yard round the back.

Castle Rock pub...Great atmosphere, good choice of beer and dog friendly.

Nice little boozer with a good selection of alcoholic drinks

Great service and superb music. Enjoyable late afternoon.

Friendly pub with good selection of drinks. The staff were always compliant with Covid rules making us feel safe, and nothing has changed! Transition to relaxation of the regulations conducted very well and they were very respectful to those of us who wish to continue taking precautions against Covid eg mask wearing. Cannot recommend them enough!

Nice beer and good covid distancing.

Traditional ale house covid safe and helpful friendly staff

Excellent service in very difficult times what with Covid and social distancing. Spent yesterday afternoon there with my son. First proper pint in months. Made to feel very welcome, safety was very well controlled and managed by the staff, felt safe and no worries. At table service, in at the front door, out at the back. Yes it was quiet but with the floors marked out even at a busy weekend I am sure 1-2 mtrs can be maintained. Great all round and thanks.

Great quiz on Tuesdays, great guest beers on tap

Good choice of beers friendly staff

Excellent pub and friendly service

Fantastic Castle Rock pub. Excellent real ales and friendly knowledgeable staff. Nice walled garden at the rear. Good place to watch World Cup matches.

Brilliant range of beers and ciders, dispensed by knowledgeable staff.

This place will Always struggle irrespective who manages it, place is nearly always empty, times have changed in Kimberley, people are poorer than a decade ago and it's getting worse, nothing the management can do, too few customers, disposable incomes low so folks can't afford to come, just a few regulars + tourists like me. On the plus side quality beers like Castle Rock Elsie Mo, on the minus side dated/naff rock music spoilt a otherwise pleasant Half an hour.

Homely and friendly. Warm welcome from bar staff not so keen on the back yard as a beer garden although do what they can to make its appearance nice

Very quint little pub .very friendly.

Friendly staff and customers. good variety of beers and spirits especially the gin.

Great selection of real ales. Staff and atmosphere fantastic. A must for anyone In Kimberley

called in on way home from work, absolutely super hot steak pie in a chilly night 😋😋 also do various cobs and hot toasties.

Chilled, good beers and board games 😊

Friendly and enthusiastic about the beers ...welcoming and good to see this old pub have a new lease of life !

They've transformed this pub with the recent refurb into a great local pub. There's a fantastic selection of drinks available ( particularly the Beavertown brewery drinks) and somewhere you can really enjoy your evening. Friendly staff, great beer, sport on the box - what more can you ask for.

Good selection of beers served by friendly and helpful staff. Nice and clean toilets with a small courtyard. Does not serve food

Great bar staff, tremendous selection of real ales and great atmosphere 😊

Absolutely fantastic pub with lovely staff.

Lovely pub set back from the main road, and tastefully refurbished by Castle Rock. A must for any cricket lovers, especially Notts with lots of interesting pictures of past and present players and Trent Bridge. Kimberley Cricket Club is also a short stroll along Newdigate Street.

Popped in here the other day after a trip to ikea and enjoyed one of the finest pints of Castle rock's Elsie mo that I have tasted in a long time. All credit, I'm sure, to the land lord Ollie and his team there and I look forward to visiting again very soon. Possibly on my horse that turns into a plane.

Nicely renovated and service good,clean throughout ,beer prices on par with other places ,not very busy when we visited so no atmosphere

Nice pub, recently been taken over an re furbed. Good selection of real ale. I wouldnt usually go out drinking in kimberly but this is a good place to visit.

Another pub saved popped in on way home one evening to see what all the talk was about this pub has had a new lease of life now a cask ale pub I'm not a drinker put for cask lovers this is the place to visit

Nice refurbishment and plenty of beer choice but £3.90 for a pint of Guinness & blackcurrent is well over the top in a Kimberley back street pub...

Loads of beer options, excellent refurbishment, great staff, glad it's back open! Best pub in Kimberley.

So friendly, small cottage pub, real ale from Castle Rock Brewery lovely

Average, Seems to be the way with castle rock nowadays. There's 2 amazing micropubs and the stag. So if your pub crawling you my go here but the other pubs make the day.

This pub is now owned by Castle Rock Brewery at last some competition against the Green King pubs in Kimberley

Prices in line with City Centre prices, free chip cobs when the football's on!
