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. 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.

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......

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

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!

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.

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

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!!!

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!

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

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.

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 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.

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

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!

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.

Unfortunately, we had just missed out on the Sunday roast but the main menu came to the rescue and all our meals were winners. It’s a sprawling pub with a very large outdoor area so whilst not exactly what you’d call cuddly, the staff are friendly and it’s pleasantly furnished and decorated. Will try harder to catch the Sunday carvery next time.

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.

This is the place to go for for a roast on Sunday. We dined at a high table which had bar stools on one side and a bench seat at the same height on the other side. The bench seat didn’t have anywhere to put your feet, which isn’t great for your knees. But it does make it easier to get up after you have eaten.

We chose this venue following a recommendation from a family member. We are so glad we did. The menu is excellent with so much on offer and because it was Sunday they also had a carvery from 12:00 to 17:00. We were a family party of 12 people with some choosing meals from the menu whilst 8 had a carvery meal. I had the carvery and was impressed with a usual choice of meat but more impressive was the well presented and different selection of vegetables. We had a large cake we brought along for the double birthday celebration and we combined this with ice cream and some other puddings from the menu. This is certainly a place we will visit again even though it is nearly an hour away from my home.

We chose to eat at this pub due to its reviews. We didn’t have a starter but just mains and a dessert. We ordered drinks from the waitress but they sat on the bar for over 10 minutes before they were delivered to our table. The food was typical pub grub, nothing wrong with it at all and the veg were cooked well, they weren’t soggy and still had a bit of bite. The problem is the tables are so squashed together it is extremely noisy. I really don’t want to listen to the discussions around me and I’m sure they don’t want to listen to ours but everyone had to raise their voices to be heard. We were told this was the quite area of the pub! We had to keep moving our table so that the people next to us could get to their seats! It is a shame that they are trying to crowd in as many people as they can.

We went to the Cricketers on a Saturday evening using our Barons card. The meal was great and at first we were served quickly despite it being busy. The standard of the chips has greatly improved from a previous visit when they were oven chips, this time they were nice. The only complaint I have is half way through the meal the waitress seemed to disappear, we all wanted another drink but by the time we ordered dessert it was too late & we'd given up. We had a lovely birthday sundae brought through which was really good. Apart from the slow service it was good & the Barons discount reduced the bill by £32 so well worth it.

Went with friends for Sunday lunch, had booked in advance (recommended) and were shown to our table. It was a very busy pub inside and in the large garden so we anticipated a long wait to be served, not a bit of it! A very nice waitress took our drinks order and when she returned took our food order we opted for the carvery one of our party was vegetarian and she said when his meal was almost ready she would let us know so we could all go to get our food together he helped himself to the vegetables while we went for the meat. There were three meats on offer turkey, pork, and beef, we all chose a bit of each and the portions were very generous the potatoes and veg were hot and fresh with large fresh Yorkies to accompany the meal with a large cauldron of gravy and all the accompanying sauces. It was an excellent lunch made better by the excellent attentive staff. We were too full for deserts but I definitely will come back here. Just a footnote as it gets sooo busy parking can be a challenge even though they have a very large car park.

We visited yesterday with friends and I must say we had a really great time. Our waitress (sorry forgot to ask her name but she was from S.Africa/Bermuda) was so patient and attentive. We all went for the steak which were really good. The interior and exterior of the pub has changed since we last visited (it's a long way from Oxfordshire!) and it has been done to a good standard and is very welcoming.

Visited many times but this is my first review. Always find the food excellent quality and this time was no exception. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The wait for your food once you’ve ordered can be a little longer than some restaurants but it’s worth it. Burgers and ribs are exceptional as are Sunday roasts.

Been coming to this pub for years and it never fails to disappoint. Perfect service and food in a family friendly environment. Jess and Sarah were serving my family and I today and were particularly impressive. Will be returning soon and recommend to anyone.

We were visiting my nephew and his family and took them for a meal. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. There was a full vegan menu which was ideal for my husband and I. The team leader, Julie, was extremely friendly and helpful and so were her team. They made us feel very welcome and brought high chairs and children's activities for my nephew's baby and toddler. My nephew has signed up for the Barons Diners card which is excellent value. It's a pity I don't live in Guildford.

We visited on a sunny Thursday evening, but, although the garden and forecourt were packed, we found a table in the Bar/Restaurant quite easily.

Booked in advance for a party of 38. Excellent communication from events manager and she suggested to preorder the food. With such a large party this worked really well and everyone was happy with an efficient friendly service with excellent food. Definitely would book another event at The Cricketer's. Our summer event was much enjoyed.

A very popular pub and restaurant with kid friendly garden. We've been going to the Cricketers for years and have never been let down. The menu is good but a little static. Often has specials on during the week. Lunch time can be very busy. Massive car park around the back.

As a vegetarian the options were not great. The food was very average and not worth what they charge. Previously had been there a year ago and loved the food and there were so many more options.
