The Cricketers in Woking

Booked it for a celebration for Nephew's birthday it was very busy. Loved the atmosphere and food but it was extremely busy on a lovely Sunday evening even at 6:30 pm. Loads of customers so service was a little slow however it did not ruin the food or the experience at this pub restaurant. One advice I would give beforehand is to book a table in advance just because it's very busy on most evenings and you don't want to be disappointed.

Dinner tonight for son and his golfing friends, mostly good but the liver and bacon was one small strip of liver and one bacon slice with lots of potato and veg, not quite the usual standard, shame as the rest was good. Great service from a lovely waitress though.

came in last night for what was meant to be a nice meal with friends and family. the young lady who served us Jenna was very lovely the pub was extremely busy but she kept us informed on food waiting times etc and was amazing. however the manger that was on shift i don't know what his name is was extremely rude the way he spoke was outrageous and the way he was talking to members of staff was disgusting. it ruined what should be a good meal out we couldn't help but notice how he was treating members of staff.

As a family, we’ve been here a few times. This visit was for Father’s Day. The staff were all really friendly but the food just wasn’t as good this time round. The burger was pretty tasteless, I’m just glad I had upgraded to sweet potato fries which were really good. My mum had the calves liver, which she’s had before, but she said the meat was really thin tasteless strips. My dad had the carvery, he said it was nice but the veg wasn’t particularly warm, which was disappointing as our table was booked for 12pm so you’d think at this time of day it would all be hot!

Overcrowded and understaffed Waiting times for drinks and food far too long Risotto watery and salad was missing No doubt the kitchen couldn’t cope with all the orders flooding in from large parties Staff were friendly but clearly run off their feet

Went for dinner last night with family (8 in total). Had to wait to order drinks. Ordered meals, and wrong prawn starter was brought out. Then had to wait an age (all other starters were finished) when the right starter finally arrived which was strange for a prawn cocktail. But that could be because the prawns were being thawed in that time (tasted like they had been). Mains arrived for all the adults, but 2 meals for kids were nowhere to be seen. Waited a good while, whilst two waitresses chatted nearby oblivious. Asked where remaining meals were, and seems they were sitting in kitchen waiting for the chat to end and be bought out. Long wait for 2nd drinks order. Will say, desserts were good portion size and well enjoyed. But overall a really disappointing experience for somewhere I’ve always regarded as one of the good ones.

Brilliant place for a birthday party! I had 60 people for mine, with delicious BBQ and great selection of wines and beers. Useful outdoor bar. I had a live band too and it worked a treat! The staff couldn't have been better, the food delicious, the location great and it gets a 10/10 vote from me.

Early evening family meal which was excellent. The food was hot and portion size good. Service was excellent. No faults here. Really impressed.

I didn't actually go to The Cricketers but to celebrate my Brother's 75 Birthday we had a takeaway from Cricketers by Just Eat. The food was up to the Cricketers usual high standards. The delivery was very good and the food was hot when it arrived. I did miss being at the Cricketers though and the friendliness of the staff, Amber my poodle missed being there too, but I highly recommend the delivery if there is some reason you can't get out. Diana and Amber

Average food, very poor service, good atmosphere, but on the noisy side, good portion sizes, raw carrots and broccoli. Waited 1 hour plus for main and that was after chasing it up. When food came the first two meals arrived and then there was a long delay so two of us had to start eating before the last two meals arrived. The same thing happened with dessert.

The food and service was excellent. Friendly staff, quickly served food. Good atmosphere for a social gathering. Used our Barons card and got discount aswell! Definitely recommend.

Catered for my mothers wake Very helpful, professional, Good food, good service Nice room separate from the main pub Plenty of parking

My first visit to this pub with walking friends. The welcome was great even though we were early and our drinks were served quickly. Food orders were taken promptly and the food was served quickly on hot plates. No one in our party of 12 had to wait very long for their food. Mine was very tasty. I enjoyed the special of venison suet pudding with a good assortment of vegetables and mashed potato. It was amazing! The choices of meals were superb. The best restaurant/pub I have visited with our walking group! Well done to the Cricketers!

The staff are very nice and the food was OK. But everything is so expensive. £6.90 for a pint of lager, in a pub in Horsell. It must be the most expensive in Surrey, or very close to it. Outrageous! It is cheaper to buy a pint in London.

Perhaps my rating is a little harsh but general standards have risen in recent years. Note this is a busy establishment which is a good indicator .Good points.......good atmosphere, friendly service. excellent house Spanish white wine, roomy and comfortable environment. Less good points......service slow, prawn cocktail dressing needs toning down, some carrots nearly raw. Pork dry. Creme brulee too sweet. Otherwise quite good food. Quite good value.

Visited on a Fri. Lunchtime and got seated quickly, however service was slow and food was mediocre to say the least, and overpriced. The GF Risotto was skimpy in portion, barely covering the base of the bowl it was served in: the Chicken Caesar Salad was bland, limp (definitely not Romaine) one shaving of Parmesan?? and a few anchovies although I specifically requested no anchovies. The turkey and ham pie looked amazing ....(plenty of style, (pastry) very little substance, (meat). The two lattes ordered at the end of the meal were returned as they were cold, the replacement lattes fared little better. Sadly food did not live up to expectations.

I visited here as part of a group of four, some of which had eaten here many times and said it was "good". Looking at the other reviews on here, it also seems popular and well-liked by the general population, in which case I can only assume my experience was a "bad night", or the majority of people are satisfied by complete and utter mediocrity. It was busy, and the staff did seem utterly disorganised. It wasn't a great start when one of the group didn't receive their starter until after the rest of the group had finished their starters. This is simply unacceptable. My own starter was the salt and pepper squid, and the portion was tiny and presented in a bowl which only emphasised how tiny it was. No garnishes. Nothing. Just a dessert bowl with a small numer of squid. One member of the group had the prawn cocktail, and that did look acceptable. When the late starter arrived (mini sausages), we all shared them, and they were fine and tasted reasonably good. Then when the main courses arrived, my dish (the cajun chicken and rib combo) was both meagre in portion and cooked badly. The plate was largely taken up by a bowl of salad, giving the impression you're getting more food than you actually are. There was a tiny portion of fries, a tiny piece of chicken that looked like it had been run over by a van, and two small racks of ribs. The fries were fine (just a tiny portion), but the chicken was almost inedible it was that dry and overcooked. If I'd had made that myself at home, I would have thrown it in the bin and started again because it had clearly gone wrong. There were also two very small onion rings, which tasted nice, but they were there to meet what was described on the menu, but no more. The ribs tasted nice, but again, there were hardly enough of them. The dish was like something you pay £10 for in Wetherspoons. Had I'd paid £10 I'd have come away thinking, "yeah, that's about right for what I'd just eaten". But £21?! In fact, I left feeling thoroughly robbed. I didn't order dessert, even though I was still hungry, because I didn't want to give them a chance to rip me off further. I also noticed that the mash which came with somebody's pie, was nothing more than one dessert spoon-sized portion. It was embarrassing and pathetic. I don't normally complain in restaurants, and just put bad food and service down to experience, but this time I thought I would give an honest answer if the service staff asked how the meal was. They didn't ask. We don't get a chance to go out much due to needing babysitters, so it's incredibly annoying when your rare chance to eat out is disappointing. These kinds of experiences are becoming more frequent after the pandemic, and the excuse of "costs going up" are trotted out regularly. You can still find restaurants which maintain good standards, so it doesn't wash with me. It's just an excuse to hide behind poor value and poor service. If you *have* no choice, then put prices up but serve good food and cook it properly! Don't try to keep the prices low but serve me rubbish and tiny portions.

I didn't actually go to The Cricketers but to celebrate my Brother's 75 Birthday we had a takeaway from Cricketers by Just Eat. The food was up to the Cricketers usual high standards. The delivery was very good and the food was hot when it arrived. I did miss being at the Cricketers though and the friendliness of the staff, Amber my poodle missed being there too, but I highly recommend the delivery if there is some reason you can't get out.

i would like to say a massive thank you to jenna who looked after me and the rest of the gang last night you need an amazing job keeping a smile on your face and making sure we constantly hands drinks or bottles of wine on tables . we came in for your Christmas menu its was amazing all three courses and to finish it off an Irish coffee and of course i had to write a letter to Santa we will be back

My partner and I visited for a Sunday roast after being recommended and it did not disappoint. The best roast dinner we have ever had. Try it you'll love it!

Food was great, very well looked after and our lady server was patient and very kind to the kids. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon!

Thank you for a lovely meal. Imogen was really attentive and provided us with great service. We will back again soon . ...

Visited this lovely pub last night to celebrate a birthday of one of our party, and the lockdown has not changed the quality of the great service and food at all! All necessary restrictions were in place but did not take away from our enjoyment! Everyone's food came promptly and was hot and delicious!! Charlotte looked after us excellently - very professional and friendly! Will be returning very soon!

We were celebrating my birthday and as I have a Barons diners card was able to claim my free bottle of birthday bubbly on showing the relevant email. The food was excellent as usual, I don't think we've ever had a bad meal here. Couldn't fault the service Charlotte and her colleague were very attentive and welcoming. Felt very covid safe with all precautions adhered to. Look forward to going back again soon.

We visited the cricketers for a family meal, lovely food, very friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend for others to visit.

We visited the cricketers for a family meal. Our first time out for a long time due to the pandemic. Our waitress Helen was fantastic, very attentive and helpful. Our food was amazing and we didn’t have to wait long for anything.Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere friendly and reasonable to go to for a meal.

Booked two outside tables for a long awaited family get together for my sisters birthday. Booked two weeks in advance. When we arrived our table had been given away to another party. I wouldn’t mind if we had been informed but only found out when we arrived and our tables were inside. The manager was very kind and apologetic and offered us complementary drinks and desserts which was a nice touch. You would have thought that after messing our booking up they would’ve made an effort but the service was awful. It took two hours for us to get our food. They were short staffed and extremely busy. We witnessed lots of other people complaining.Such a shame as I’ve always liked it there, but they shouldn’t be packing the restaurant out if they can’t handle the crowd. Hopefully it was some off but I won’t be returning in a hurry

First meal out in over a year, really looked forward to it with friends. Table booked for 7pm, eventually seated at a table strewn with debris half an hour later. 6 different servers, Manager with major attitude and overly defensive. I’m sure we are not the first diners to ask for separate bills. There was 4 of us, only 2 of us got food the remaining decided to give it a miss......service has never been good but this particular evening was atrocious. I work in hospitality and this would not be acceptable at my place of work. Will not be returning any time soon......

We have been to the cricketers many times and always enjoyed the wonderful garden and play area. Good pub grub, friendly staff, an excellent place to while away a sunny afternoon with the whole family.

Awful, don’t waste your time or money. Poor service and management really uninterested. Appears staff have no idea on service .

I visited this pub and didn’t read any reviews beforehand. The pub was nice with a good outdoor area. However, the staff and management were obnoxious. Likely one of the worst experiences I have had in hospitality, which is a real shame considering how much we were looking forward to it.

Great to be back, however very disappointed by the management. The food was amazing as always, but we asked the kids food to come out with the starters which didn’t happen. Our order was taken by a member of the management team, didn’t catch his name, but was wearing a very distinctive fox patterned shirt with dark hair. He cleared our plates, and when we asked how long the food was going to be, not so much ours but the kids, he said he’d check and never came back. We ended up waiting 35 minutes before a lovely young lady came over to check on us, and informed us she was sorry but the food was never called away, not her fault at all, she was lovely. The manager came over and tried to blame it on the young girl!! I’ve worked in hospitality before and know that it was him that should have given the go ahead for our main dishes.Truly unprofessional the way he spoke about her!!! Didn’t get the girls name but she was attentive and lovely. Will return as the kids love the play area but will avoid being served by snobby management!

Service dreadful, no drinks order taken for 45 minutes, then had to ask to order food. They really need to up their game. Used to be a twice weekly visitor, but will look to go elsewhere now.

Visited for a late evening meal after a business meeting. Arrived on time but, due to staff faiking ro seat us (the system was down), take an order (we have to take drinks first) and ignoring our pleas to order food, they shut the kitchens. Really, really not impressed.

Had Sunday lunch with a friend here and had such a great time. The roast was delicious, the staff were all really friendly and the pub itself is lovely. They are very hot on covid restrictions, honestly couldn’t fault anything. Would definitely recommend, we will be back!

Visited the Cricketers today and do not book a table. The pub has tables out the front for walk ins which is always handy if you just fancy popping down. Food was so tasty! We ordered items to share and everything was lovely. Great food and very friendly staff! Definitely recommend.

Another visit to this fantastic pub and restaurant a few days ago.....the best in Surrey by a long way. One of our meals was the confit duck, peppercorn sauce, pommes Anna and fresh vegetables which was superb and exactly how it should be served. Anyone who does not like this doesn't know much about great food. As usual, the service was first class and it was good to feel safe with the excellent Covid-19 procedures in place at all times, unlike other nearby pubs/restaurants. It will not be very long until we visit The Cricketers again.

The starter was nice, main food I’ve ordered chef’s special confit duck with peppercorn sauce,I was quite disappointed. That was not what I expected from chef’s special ... and plus POOR SERVICE

Our first visit, we will be back. Good range of dishes, covid safety dealt with very well. Staff friendly (and all have great eyes....masks mean you can't see full face)

We visit the Cricketers on a regular basis, sometimes as a couple other times as a family and we are never disappointed with either the service of the food. The menu offers healthy options and the wine list has a wide enough spectrum. Weather permitting, the grand children enjoy the play area.

Excellent food excellent staff would definitely recommend this lovely establishment Well done The Cricketers

A lovely night out with friends, just 4 of us in the group.Starters mains and deserts. Could not fault the food excellent Very good service with food and drink, no rush to get you in and out We where booked in for 7 o'clock, No waiting, straight in even though we where 10 minutes early.As the food arrived for the second course, 2 plates, then minutes later the second 2 plates, As the food was going across the table a glass of drink got knocked over spilling some onto my friends dinner, The waitress straight away said that she would replace the meal, no arguments and that's what she did it arrived 5minutes later a complete new meal (FIRST CLASS SERVICE)Made to feel very safe, clean and comfortable. A very enjoyable night out

Haven't been to this pub for over 17 years as I've moved out of the area but its still a lovely pub.Food was very good and staff were great..

Covid-19 secure, safe and efficient, we now often visit The Cricketers! Socially distanced well and service is always top notch. We are not all that local but this is definitely our new pit stop. Food is always beautifully presented, to die for in taste and you never leave feeling hungry. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Although new, Andries is definitely a credit to the team and is very polite, articulate and a good laugh! We had a lovely evening as always and of course was just lovely to see the amazing Rainey!!! We love you!!!

Sat out in the garden for a late lunch. Had ham, egg & chips, it was delicious. This is always a favorite place to come, glad to see it back up and running again, felt safe here, all abiding to social distancing.

Just had a fabulous family meal here, our first UK restaurant outing since February. Our waiter, David, was excellent, he could not have been anymore helpful or accommodating. The food was lovely, we had the sharing starter, king prawn lolli pops, and squid for starters. All excellent. We then had the vegan burger, pork and cheese burger, scampi and chicken and ribs combo - which were all really good. The kids ordered cookie dessert afterwards and that was a bit too much- should have got one to share. We love the safety measures, I feel safe and at ease without it encroaching on our evening. Thanks The Cricks, we’ll be back soon!

Lovely meal there yesterday, great staff, nice ambience and decor, covid safe, large garden and play area. 45 min wait for food on prebooked table.Let down by kids menu - flat bread pizza - looked rubbish and was £7. The wooden board it was on looked scratched up, old dirty and unsanitary - see photo. Use plates!

The garden room is a lovely private dining room. The kids okay area is clean and well maintained. The starters were fantastic best prawns ever - the salmon main was amazing. The kids meals were great. The burgers and steak were really disappointing - like football ground meat. The desserts were awesome - generous and tasty. Also the restaurant capped out eat out to help out discount at £80 despite 11 of us eating..... I cannot find any limit on the government website for this offer so not sure why that happened. Overall was a nice if slightly disappointing lunch

Really wanted a cocktail but they didn’t have the stuff for a pornstar martini, some lad called Sam W (CHEERS SAM W❤️) said he could make me a drink similar so I could still have a cocktail!! THANK YOU SAM W FOR MAKING MY NIGHT, you deserve a pay rise bud. Have a good night n stay safe❤️

The 2 of us dined here on Friday night while we were visiting the area.The service was good - the waitress was very helpful and pleasant.The gin cocktails which were on the two for £12 deal were very potent and blew my head off. The food (veggie/halloumi burger) was tasty and the chocolate Sunday desert was very moreish and overindulgent.Only way it could potentially be improved is to have some comfier dining chairs (as I started to get a numb bum after a couple of hours) but overall a nice pub with a good atmosphere.

Visited for our 39th wedding anniversary celebration and a much needed "lockdown treat". Food and service were really excellent, food portions good and prices sensible. A really nice experience.

Arrived to a full car park and was worried we would have a long wait however was seated outside straight away for lunch. My partner had the rhubarb and ginger fizz to drink which she loved. The food was 10/10 although we ordered way too much as two starters two mains and two deserts left us struggling to move the whole way home. Our server mia was attentive throughout, we will defo be back.

Just returned from having a truly delicious Sunday lunch at the Cricketers. The roast sirloin of beef was so tender and perfectly cooked, accompanied by a divine gravy, perfect Yorkshire pudding, beautiful creamy cauliflower cheese, crispy potatoes and a good selection of veg served on the side. I was completely and pleasantly stuffed by the end of it. The service was polite, efficient and friendly. 10/10 ........ I’ll definitely be back.

We stopped by for a couple of drinks at the cricketers as we have just bought a property in the village, the waiter took our order, but 20 minutes later still no drinks, had to re- order, told there was a mix up with tickets??, when our drinks did arrive the waitress stood about 2 foot away talking to some Radom guy holding our drinks on a tray, not very good given the current climate with social distancing, we stopped for a couple more drinks, from outside seems like a pretty little spot, however the inside decor is a bit of a mixed bag could be a lot better, will return as it’s a handy place within walking distance, hope the food will be up to scratch.

It was a lovely sunny day when we arrived so we sat outside so our kids could enjoy the playground. Our food arrived not long before a heavy downpour of rain. I expected we’d just have to put up with it (as I’d heard the inside was fully booked), but the staff went out of their way to move us inside, getting soaked themselves in the process. Thank you so much!

This EOHO offer has made all the local pubs offering food very attractive and the Cricketers on Tuesday was very busy. We ordered and the Waiter said our main course would be 30 minutes. The reality was just over 1 hour. Lucky we had ordered a starter. The menu is not that exciting or adventurous and it's all burgers, chicken and duck. Our meal eventually arrived after having to enquire as it's whereabouts. The Manager was very apologetic and the delay was down to so many orders being processed or cooked. Because of the huge delay we were offered a complimentary drink or dessert. We chose the dessert and this was appreciated. From a hygiene perspective there was just one hand sanitizer pump outside but none on the tables. We did enquire as to why none where on the tables but no answer could be given! We also observed the waiting staff ignoring to use one by the till. We also saw waiters picking up items off the floor and not cleaning their hands afterwards. This area needs to be improved. So all in all everything was okay and they were just overwhelmed by all the bookings.

We had a great family meal here tonight. The quality of the food was brilliant, we all had burgers. What made the experience for us was the epic customer service we received from Finnish Viking Eeles. He was super friendly & engaging. I cannot rate him highly enough, what a super star. He even arranged a candle in the dessert, I would come back just for the excellent banker & fun.

I came with my daughter and son in law to eat lunch at the Cricketers as my daughter had had drinks there a few times with her friends, but had not eaten there and we wanted to try out the menu.I had asked my son in law to find a pub doing proper pies with flaky pastry and not one of the usual gastro pubs. They suggested the Cricketers.I ordered the chicken ham and leek pie. To say I was disappointed is an understatement!I was very disappointed and upset by what I got. The pastry was soggy. The pie had obviously been frozen and defrosted and heated in the microwave. If a pie has flaky pastry, it has to be crispy and at least put under the grill to make it so. I would have actually got the same type of pie if I had just got a Pukka pie from my freezer at home and put it in the microwave! To top it off, there were no leeks in it and only 3 minutely chopped bits of ham in the main part of the pie.My son in law, not wanting to eat carbs, asked for the pig and cheese burger, with no bun and instead of fries, to please have an extra portion of slaw. The waitress said this was no problem. He got the burger, but it was missing the lettuce, one of the sauces, and gerkins. It also came with fries and no extra slaw!!!I did bring this to the attention of the waitress when we had finished (well I obviously did not finish the pie) and she asked how the meal was.We will certainly not be visiting again for food and would not recommend it to anybody

I just wanted to post a review to say how wonderful The Cricketers is as I have read a recent review which I believe is somewhat misleading. Having visited The Cricketers many times for food and drinks, I can positively confirm that it is first class in everything it does. In particular the chicken, leek and ham pie is the best I have ever had.....beautiful flaky pastry with loads of chicken, leek and ham. Perhaps the reviewer has a problem with those that chose the venue and not the venue itself. Anyway, I will be back at the best place around very soon.

We had booked The Cricketers Garden Room to celebrate my Mum’s 80th. We were a group of 19, friends and family. As it turned out, this was one week after The Cricketers re-opened after lockdown. The organisation was superb. We were able to reserve the few tables outside The Garden Room too so as we could maintain the current social distancing guidelines. We were looked after brilliantly by Julie. She was attentive, communicative and friendly without being overbearing. Nothing was too much trouble- she brought out my Mum’s cake with appropriate aplomb (on a silver platter) and provided both plates and cutlery and takeaway boxes as she knew some were heading home. All the staff we encountered were friendly and efficient; but huge thanks to Julie who ensured that a special celebration ran incredibly smoothly under what I’m guessing weren’t the easiest of circumstances. Thank you!

The prices have been put up recently,I suppose because of the pandemic.!! We won’t be going back ,we used a lot last year .Shame because the staff are good.

We've just been to You this afternoon. Not very impressed to be fair. You seem to have put the food prices up loads so we had kids meals instead! The burger wasn't very nice, all very mediocre. Such a shame as was looking forward to coming back

We held the Wake for my Dad (Brian Higgins ) funeral at The Cricketers and I must say from start to finish with all the organising was a pleasure. Laura and Charlotte were very helpful and accommodated all my needs. The host on the day was Julie and there aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful & helpful she was. Nothing was to much trouble and the day was amazing. I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you all so much

This is our third visit to the cricketers horseplay. Sunday lunchtime carvery. Food and service excellent even when the pub was heaving generous portions of meat and help yourself to veg and sauces and Garvey etc can highly recommend this pub but you need to book. They have a very useful online booking system as well.

Very busy Saturday evening, luckily we had booked. Our first table in the bar area was literally overlooked by a raucous party of girls. Our server Kim graciously moved us to a quieter part of the pub despite it being busy.Service was slow but not unexpectedly so given how busy it was. We were informed of the delays. Food was delicious and plentiful and our server was attentive.

Had supper here, yesterday. Food was very good, we shared a plate of nachos and I had the steak and kidney pudding to follow, Mrs M had a chicken breast in barbecue sauce. She described it as “what you get in the chicken burger without the bun, and exactly what I wanted”. The only let down is the beer: it’s a Shepherd Neame pub, I don”t like their beer, and Whitstable Pale Ale wasn’t in great condition. Not much else from which to choose so I had the Blond Lager which was OK. There is an excellent brewery less than a mike away, why not use their beers?The service was outstanding, can’t remember being looked after so well by friendly and attentive staff: greeted on arrival, fast and efficient table service and at least two people said ‘good night’ when we left. Other local food outlets should send their staff here for training.

Brilliant event night for New Year, even danced all night, food was amazing, staff very attentive, worth booking for New Year

Very friendly place, good for celebration meals, and quick bites as well. Food is consistently good.Recommend the New Year's Eve Party! (Booking essential!)

Great place, with friendly staff, good food, and a nice big car park. Recomend to any one for any occasions.

Ate here for the first time and we enjoyed our evening meal. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout. The atmosphere was welcoming and convivial. The burgers were 'real' burgers - fat and juicy. Nice chips, too. We will be returning.

Great service lots of choice on the menu great atmosphere comfortable seating lots of character. We need to revisit soon. Thank you and we'll done.

Been loads of times, service and food quality is always good. Eating outside in the summer and quaffing cold cider or beers is brilliant.

We had a lovely experience here last week.

Spent New Years Eve here in a group of six. So often NYE is disappointing, with profit before value. This was great on all fronts. Great service, food was top quality. Also live band was excellent.

Once again had a FABULOUS Sunday lunch with the BEST Yorkshires EVER. We were fitted in last minute before the buffet closed. We promised to eat and run before the evening rush. The staff could not have been more helpful especially the male Manager. They were SO SO busy and apologised to me for being patient to wait to speak to them!! I could see the place was heaving with people. The staff are always so polite and helpful. Can the boss pass on our praise for such enthusiasm and hard work.

We have been here several times last year and we booked a big Christmas Meal for Christmas Eve . Despite adding a late member to the party and changing 4 meal choices everything was delivered correctly and on time . Service was excellent as usual and would thoroughly recommend this pub to anyone.

had a very good meal here and was excellent value for money the staff were very polite and very helpful wth especially dietary requirements and medical requirements

I visited The Cricketers 5 months ago with my nephew and his family who live locally. My husband and I are from Wirral. I did a review then and this second visit confirms this is the friendliest pub ever. I don't know how but Julie the manager remembered us and asked how my nephew got on working in the artic! Very friendly staff and excellent new vegan menu. Also great choice of food for the young children. Another great evening from Julie and her staff, Thank you.

My parents love eating here and are constantly telling me to try it out. I booked in advance and was really looking forward to it. The service was slow and when my daughters meal arrived the waiter spilt food down her new white jumper. The food was ok. We wanted to order dessert but after receiving the dessert menu we waited over half an hour before a waitress came over so we decided to get the bill and leave.

Great food and great staff. Good selection of food and drinks and the waitress copied very well with our large group and young children.

My wife and I went and had a meal at this lovely pub in Horsell. The pub itself is very well laid out with lots of space a great parking. The food and the menu choice was superb. However best of all was the service, our server Hannah was so pleasant, she could not have been more helpful and polite. This made the dinning experience even more enjoyable. We will be going back several more times.

Fancied a quick pub lunch on a Saturday whilst in the area and this had good reviews.

We just popped into the cricketers after a bike ride for a nibble to eat.

Attended a birthday celebration recently, held in the garden room; impressed with the space, the service and the food! The waitress Kim, was very attentive and looked after us well.

Had a lovely meal at this place. Food was amazing and great size portions.. Beautiful inside and clean. Our waitress called Kim was so friendly and couldnt be more attentive. She was also so helpful with giving us ideas and best advice for our trip the next day in going to London.. Kim made our evening that lil bit more amazing.. Huge thanks xx family from tenerife x

This is a popular pub and it had a variety of rooms as well as a garden Room .Sunday for the carvery is buzzing .3meats a large slice of each.good variety of veg and potatoes.great Yorkshire puddings .the staff are very efficient and friendly .no pets allowed in but ok out side .

The quality of the food at The Cricketers was exellent but the slow service left many people in the group with a bad impression. It was a large group, 33 people spread over 4 tables, who had all pre-ordered their menu choices and were all sat down and ready by the allotted time.

We booked lunch for 20 people, to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday, and were not disappointed! Everything was spot on, in fact excellent :) A special mention to Kim, who looked after us so brilliantly, thank you.

This is the third time we have visited, a 156 mile round trip for us and absolutely worth it, excellent food and superb ambience with excellent service and all at reasonable price.

Probably the best traditional pub restaurant in Horsell. we enjoyed a two course lunch.

Went for the Xmas menu and couldn't have been happier. Butter bean salad, Vegan enchiladas and cheese/biscuits left me stuffed. Admittedly I was viciously hungover and that may have played a part but it was one of the better pub meals I've had.

This was a pub/restaurant but leaning more towards the food angle. The premises look very oldy worldly and our table (which we booked in advance) was a bit cramped for 4 people.

Fantastic Xmas dinner for 30 of us excellent quality food and all served together. Staff were flat out but still attentive and keeping an eye on everything.

We had a nice meal here on Saturday. The staff were friendly and it’s also a nice place with enough space for little ones. The food was good overall and the ribs were fab!! We also had fish and chips and the courgette fritters which were okay.

My extended family (16 in total) met up for a pre Christmas get together on a very busy Saturday, travelling from Hampshire and Essex, and we were made to feel very welcome by all the staff. The service and food were excellent and we would not hesitate to return. Well done to The Cricketers Team!!

Always worth a visit as aleays a friendly welcome and have a separate vegan menu...which they.give you without having to ask, always a bonus! The vegan menu is good but hasn't changed in forever...however I had a bake from the specials which was good and would have again. As ever, the service was just right.

We had dinner at The Cricketers last night. It was an ok experience overall but could have been much better.

Just ate here. Fantastic food and service. All staff ready for Halloween. An excellent visit, well done

Came down to have some lovely food with a friend who I hadn't seen in quite a while. Great atmosphere created by your hostess Laura and her team. 10 out of 10 would come again without any hesitation.

We chose to come here for an evening meal based on the number of vegetarian and vegan choices on offer. The food was absolutely lovely. Our two main course choices - the mushroom and butternut squash pie, and the bubble & squeak skillet were excellent. The desserts were wonderful too. The atmosphere was lively, but felt relaxed at the same time - perfect. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We're so glad we chose eat here before going home, and look forward to coming here again the next time we're in the area.
