First time here for lunch. Super for families. I came in with teenage son, partner and elderly parents. Food was well cooked, well presented and tasty. Pub impeccably clean, my dad couldn’t stop mentioning how clean the toilets and bar were!!! My son liked the pool table, partner games machine and dad liked watching out over the cricket field and sport on TV. We will be back!!

l was very fortunate to be able to hold my 70th there , Richard the main man put on a super spread and he and his staff were just a delight . l had friends and family coming form all corners and the buffet put on was superb , all gave super comments. You can have the greatest place going but its the staff and boss who make it what it is , The venue is second to none and we were very lucky with the weather and great cricket match to watch . Thank you all

The venue is very non-descript - think clone pubs like in the film worlds end. If you are not a local expect to be served after they have dealt with their friends. Went to watch a specific sporting event - that they decided to change at the last minute (despite checking it would be shown). Won’t be visiting again .

Real shame because any other night would have been a great pub. After a long shift at a different bar I thought I might join my parents and their friends for a drink. Land lady closed the bar at 10:20 although it was open til 11. Was rude and unwelcoming. I understand doing last orders at half past and finishing the last drinks at quarter to. But how is pub that’s only selling drink expecting to make real money by closing at 10:20!! Think this is a really easy fix and a real disappointment considering how great the building and the environment is.

At first glance this pub looks like a Cricket Pavillion, but it is so much more. They are one of the few pubs in the area to have a room that can be hired, they have Sky sport on TV, a games area, outside seating overlooking the cricket pitch and lovely good value food. We visit regularly but especially for Sunday lunch. Its a pub that tries to be part of the neighbourhood, Well worth a visit.

Lovely setting and thr backdrop of yhe falklads first team pitch (cricket field) makes it perfect. If you find it rowdy then there is an option to move to the outside benches on the long on/third man area. The food is good and yue best times to go are Saturday and Sunday day times when the home team is playing. Every now and then there is a junior match that is also on. Those keen on trying out cricket, there are some nets on the opposite side of the cricket field. So overall a nice location, good food that makes for a perfect setting.

We were seated in a nice booth on a busy Sunday afternoon - even though we hadn't booked. We all enjoyed the Prix Fixê menu - reasonably priced and excellent options to choose from. We had a couple of glasses of wine each & the fruity soda. All the team were friendly & cheerful (thanks to our server - didn't catch his name but Silver Fox describes him adequately!).
