The Cricketers in Brentwood

Booked a table for Sunday lunch and the table we were allocated was tucked in a dark corner with poor lighting and felt like we were in a small cupboard . We did ask if we could move on to one of the many empty table but were refused as they were reserved I didn’t realise it was an option to reserved a specific table? A constant chair knock from the passing servers forced me to push our table further in to the cupboard. The disappointment didn’t stop their pate starter was served with thin hard crisp bread. The roast beef was wafer thin and served with courgette? Not a suitable vegetable for a Sunday roast in my opinion. However I did order a cauliflower cheese but more disappointed, it was tangy. I decided against eating it. The servers didn’t compensate with hospitality they were huffy and puffy and everything seemed to much trouble which in result made us feel invaluable and unwelcome. Didn’t bother with a pudding as honestly just didn’t want to spend any more money with this establishment.

☹️ took family as it’s usually the best Sunday Roast, but this time disappointing. First time I’ve been in a while. No seasoning in the food so everything was bland, I never add salt to my food but had to add loads of salt and pepper to enhance the flavour. The meat was tender, and good quality it usually is here so that was good, but not served pink, it was well done. Cauliflower cheese didn’t taste of anything. Roast potatoes were terrible, rock hard and inedible, they are usually good here, end of service shouldn’t be an excuse to bad food, which was the explanation given. Plus the serving staff were very hurried, it was all a bit too rush, rush, rush, they were asking for our drink order when we were taking off our coats! Then bashed into the back of my chair every time they hurried past, which gave me a jolt, basically not the best experience, it was a frenzied service! Don’t take a late table, I love this pub, usually fabulous but not sure I will rush back for a Sunday roast! 🤔

Had a lovely meal last night 14th September with our friends for my partners birthday. The menu is really beautiful. The service was excellent and very friendly. Highly recommend. We had a great table surrounded by cricket bats😁such a lovely pub out in the country. Thank you

We booked this one as we were seeing friends nearby. Glad we had booked, as they had a party in on that day, so half of the pub and most of the outside was taken up by them and others coming in for food who hadn't booked were turned away. Nice country pub with good selection of food, so we opted for mains and desserts. I had the seafood platter, which was a very good selection of seafood (mussels, winkles (I think!) roll mops, crab sticks and prawns, with brown bread and dips, the wife had gnocci and our friends had a caesar salad as a main course. I was pleased with my selection but gnocci slightly disappointing. Nicely presented and nice tasting but not a lot to it. Dessert choices good, so I had Eton mess and our friends had creme brullee and an ice cream selection. These were very nice. All washed down with some Aspall's (always a good choice). Reasonably priced, although perhaps gnocci not great value considering the quantity.

We've been here several times, each time it is better. The owner is friendly and helpful and clearly he trains his staff well. They work hard as it is a busy food pub but are always cheerful and on hand to help out with requests. The food is also great with several healthy and some less healthy options if needed! Keep it up you're doing a great job

Had an amazing meal here. Went for lunch on Sunday last week. Rhw pub is in a lovely area and the it was spotlessly clean. From the very warm welcome we received to to time we left the service was brilliant and staff were attentive. Our server was Melissa and she couldn't have been more helpfulness friendly. Didn't have to wait to place drink or food orders, plates removed swiftly once we we're finished and we throughly enjoyed the experiences. The food was faultless and the choices were plentiful, the food portions are very generous. Thank you tonall the staff for lovely afternoon.

6 of us went for mid week lunch and could not fault anything. One of us was gluten and dairy free and they had typed up a special menu in advance for that person with several choices. Everything was cooked to order so a little wait but certainly worth it as it was all perfectly cooked and presented. The fish tasted exceptionally fresh. There’s also an extensive garden area (fenced so good for children) which would be great for the summer months. Would definitely recommend.

Popped in at lunchtime - lovely atmosphere and warm/cosy. Friendly service. Bavette steak with frites and rocket/parmesan. Lovely. Perfect.

Held our annual walking club dinner here last night. Sat down 28 people on one large table. Excellent food and meticulous service made it a very memorable evening. We were made to feel extremely welcome, and it was the perfect setting for our Christmas get together. . Would certainly recommend most highly.

Haven’t been for a while. Lovely warm cosy place with nice effort gone to make it Christmassy. Nice menu found it difficult to choose between options. All good

Lovely to sit outside the Cricketers in a marquee have lunch. Service was keen and friendly. Caesar salad main was good if also rather mean portion. Goats cheese mousse starter disappointing as it wasn’t mouse, just chunks of cheese. Dessert was a disaster: chocolate brownie out of the deep freeze.

The best pub ever. Staff are amazing and the owner is so friendly, chatty and accommodating. Such a friendly place to be and a family atmosphere. You could be a complete stranger and still feel completely at home. Food is always good and, even though there was reduced menu during COVID, it is still a good menu. I cannot fault the place, the staff, the owner, the food and they also allow dogs in which is a definitely plus. All in all this is one of my favourite places to be and I can happily come in here on my own or with lots of people in tow.

Wow - incredible food!Had lunch here with my sister today and it was just fabulous. We shared a chicken ciabatta and French onion soup, and I can honestly say it was the best bowl of soup I’ve ever eaten. Velvety, tasted truffly, with delicious crispy onion garnishes and herby oil. Amazing! And attentive friendly staff. We will be back. Oh and good covid planning here too.

We called in here after exploring the lovely countryside. Dogs are welcome so we did a circular walk and then had a lovely meal with our dog, who was welcome in the bar. The food was lovely and just the ticket after a long walk. Great rural location. Very friendly staff and customers who made us feel welcome.

Went for a meal at this lovely pub as it has a good vegan menu. Unfortunately we were sat next to a member of staff who’s job was to put cutlery in an ice bucket of boiling water, dry it and then through it into a cutlery draw. This went on through the whole of our meal. Suffice to say we were out of there in 45 minutes with a headache!! I did mention to our waiter it may be a good idea to not have a table next to such an unpleasant noise. Such a shame as the food is good but made this an unpleasant experience

Been for a drink today outside they have plenty of tables very well spaced. There whole distancing and sanitising policy is absolutely spot on . I am a little paranoid about the whole situation but they made me feel completely at ease . Highly recommended and will definitely be back .

You always seem to get a fantastic service at the Cricketers, the menu has been reduced due to Covid but what does it matter you get an excellent meal, excellent service and excellent company, especially as the new boss has removed some of the less desirables. Can’t wait to go back, in fact we have decided to do so once a week. This is a place to drink, moderately as one needs to drive or cycle, eat and relax in a truly pleasant atmosphere. I only wish I lived in walking distance, the locals are so lucky.Thank you to all of the staff, see you next week, and the week after!

Went on 30th July having not eaten here before. Lovely setting, very friendly staff and excellent food. Really generous portion of scampi and fantastic burger amongst the highlights. Will go back soon.

Wine was cheap and nasty. Food was atrocious, they complained when we wanted to order off menu for dietary requirements. Food arrived cold and the service was awful. Never again.

A return to Cricketers for lunch with my artist friend and his wife was one of the promises made to help us through thebleak months . the staff were their usual attentive selves and as the weather was fine most drinkers and diners were on the front or rear lawn areas. the food and drinks were up to the pre lockdown high standard, thanks to Chloe Sam and the new lads learning the ropes....john

The website says it shuts at 11.30, so my friends and I arrived at 8.45 for a drink. He rudely told us that “we were a bit late” as the pub shuts at 9 - however this has not been publicised anywhere. Furthermore as we asked for a drinks menu he made a loud comment to the member of staff serving us saying he would need to see ID although none of us expressed any interest in drinking any alcohol. As a local, I always have loved this pub when coming with my family however the attitude towards me when I was with two of my friends was completely different.

Fantastic local pub which I’ve been going to for many years. Always friendly with a lively bar area (dogs welcome) and a more formal restaurant nextdoor. Unfortunately due to the current Coronavirus the pub is closed but the kitchen remains open and they have a good takeaway/local delivery menu daily from 12. You just ring up and order and state collection or delivery. The fish and chips was superb and I will be going back this weekend. Hopefully open again soon so can enjoy a beer on the sunny terrace out front

Excellent mid-week family meal here. New chefs and new menu - couldn't fault. Lots going on here - will be back.

Our walking club had lunch here today. Excellent staff and service. They have a new menu with lots of good choices. Dog friendly too.

My wife, daughter and her boyfriend visited last Sunday for lunch. Despite the fact that the pub was extremely busy, the food was excellent and the service very good. The beef was of exceptional quality and properly cooked. I would thoroughly recommend - as long as you book beforehand.The only minor criticism would be that the food wasn't as hot as we would have liked, but given how busy they were, we can slightly forgive them.

1 hour 15 mins from seating to eating...huge portions of overcooked Sunday roast food, had better in a carvery. Starters and desserts were OK.

This is a pleasant pub in a nice setting.The food is excellent quality and average price for main course is about £15Gets busy at weekends so I usu ally visit at weekend.

Would like to thank, Mark, Sam, Fiona and all the staff for a very enjoyable Christmas family Sunday lunch. There were 30 of us, plus two babies, in the Long Bar area. It was nicely set up, the food was absolutely delicious and the service excellent, very friendly and lovely atmosphere. Will come again.

We would like to thank Mark, Sam and the team who helped us organise our father's wake. You were all so helpful and welcoming. The food was exceptional and service fantastic. Everybody loved the screen where we could have a slide show of his life and family. Although we don't live in the area we shall be back if we are nearby.Thank you

Been here twice in the last 4 weeks on a Saturday afternoon. The surroundings are very nice and the refurb (not sure when it was done) has been done very well. It's a nice menu with the right amount of choice so should be something for everyone. Food on both occasions was OK but the main problem was the time it took to get our orders. On Saturday, 4 of us arrived at 1.25pm, we skipped starters, ordered 4 mains, and at 2.35pm we followed up at the bar to be told they were just 'plating up' and they arrived about 5 to 10 mins later. My burger was a bit dry and partners pie had a' soggy bottom', I did wonder if they had had a problem cooking the other 2 orders of fish and chips and our courses had been sat around?. When the food came out the waiter was very apologetic. We then ordered desserts, unfortuantely this also took an age to arrive and we had to approach the bar again to find out where they were. Again, we were told they were being plated up. Again they were just fine, we orderd 2 pecan tarts but they weren't tarts, they were slightly dry sponge cakes containing pecans. When I followed up on the desserts I took the opportunity to pay as I didn't want to be hanging around for the bill after we had finished. All in all we were there over 3hrs for 2 courses. On the previous occasion the food was better and we were there about 1hr 45min for one course. The staff are friendly enough and I don't know if we were just unlucky both times or whether they were just a bit short staffed when we arrived. I think we will return as I get the feeling that when they are 'on their day' it's a great place to go but I will leave it awhile.

We had a super Sunday lunch here with our friends.Us 3 veggies had the nut roast and lovely crispy Yorkshires, potatoes and veg.Delicious puddings too.Pub was very busy but staff were only too willing to help and kept us informed about our dishes and when they would be coming.Also, dog friendly and brought out a little treat for our hungry SpringadorWe can't wait to return in the near future

Excellent quality food and service was very friendly. Fresh home made soup Welcoming to non locals Cost surroundings

Went here for a light meal as it’s local. It is a old pub but it is trying to hard to be ‘trendy and up market’. Unfortunately the only things that are, are the prices and the attitude. Seems like if you just wanted a beer you weren’t really welcome. Shame it used to be good.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, food was amazing and the service was equally brilliant. Can’t wait to come back already!!

Visited for the first time early on Saturday evening - 5 of us. Lovely selection - not too much but enough of a selection from fish (haddock) and chios, burger, tandoori chicken to filet steak. The cheese souffle starter was awesome. Wonderful selection of drink - someone has made a real effort to go from the entry level wines to quality and then the same with the gin selction of over 30 wines. Topped of by really wonderful engaged service. 5 stars and totally recommended. Looks a good bar and in the summer loads of outdoor space as well. Will be back

Fabulous Tuesday evening dinner with clients / friends! We all had a great time.... the food was great. Scotch egg lovely and pie superb. The waitresses were lovely and it was a great and very funny evening! We will all be back. This is what a pub should be! Thanks again x

Just great. Could wax lyrical but won’t waste your time. Excellent young ladies behind the bar. Nothing to much trouble. Good hot honest food. Delicious gin and tonic. Proper chips. Spotlessly clean throughout. Couldn’t fault it. Just wished we lived nearer. Thank you all for a lovely lunch. I will be back. To those who live locally I would beat a path to the cricketers and keep a good English pub thriving.

Fantastic location in rural Essex. Lovely atmosphere and very very friendly staff. It felt at times like you were receiving a personal service. The food however was very slow even though we were required to pre book. Meals were ok, well presented, sufficient quantity, just as you’d expect on a Sunday afternoon. We were in good relaxed company and the friendly staff made up for the pace and mediocre food.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Visited on a Sunday afternoon but didn't want a main meal so staff suggested a range of snacks and starters which they worked around my need for gluten free dishes. Really enjoyed our visit

A group of friends and I had a fabulous time at The Cricketers Greek night. It is such a wonderful thing that the pub bothers to put on events like this, bringing everyone in the community together. I don't think I have seen so many happy smiling faces in a long time! The entertainment was provided by traditional greek musicians (that I understand the previous landlady used to hire) and plenty of people enjoyed dancing.

Back in June we visited for Sunday lunch at the suggestion of our friends. It was a delicious meal and we couldn’t find anything to criticise.

The cricketers is a borderline quality pub portraying itself as a high quality establishment. The food is average and they have bizarre rules (you're allowed to have a medium or a rare steak, but not a medium rare steak?) Any failings could be forgiven if it wasn't the case that the manager is trying to ruin The Viper; by far and away the best pub in the area. If the manager here has any sense he will reconsider his position.

The weather was not kind a light warm drizzle persisted until mid afternoon ...but the young staff male and female went about their jobs of preperation with all the precision of a synchronized swimming team , not giving the weather chance to spoil the day the craft gin bar was beautifully arranged . . i tried a rubarb and ginger with plenty of tonic and ice perfectly stirred by Cloe . the pizza oven proved very popular and tasty . .it was warming up both by temperature and incomers . Mark the manager had a wander or two round ..but staff moral and dress defied the weathers efforts to dampen them . nice run establishment well done John

Well what can I say but what a refreshing change and wonderful dining experience this was and my friends were equally satisfied.

Spent a great day at the Summer Party, despite the heavens opening once or twice!

Good food, good wine and service. Decor and gardens fresh and clean. A few pub classics on the menu but lots of seasonal also. Sardines and good salads. Plenty of parking

What can I say apart from out of this world,we came last saturday the welcome is very fiendly and you are put at ease by smiling faces, the choices on the menu are great wish I could have tried everything,there was three of us and all had something different, I had the ceasar salad, my partner had the crab salad and her friend had the burger the cooking and presentation is exceptional, defo will be back thank you for a great afternoon.

We emailed the pub before booking and received a very personal email back. When we arrived in the car park Mark was around and asked if we were the party with the disabled request. He could not have been more helpful, helping to get father into his wheel chair, wheeling him to the lovely table at the front in the shade. It was our second outing to the pub with father and we will hopefully be back again. Food and service are faultless. Thank you for making it such a treat for us.

We all ordered different mains after some top hole starters also various soup ,the cheese dish and i had the sardines scrumptious...the fish served here is exemplarily..the steak pie in rich gravy slipped down a treat. . no room for afters . . my friends were On the Red but has i had to return to Hertfordshire i stuck to the Lager shandy . . i know..staff service A1 ...and noone keeps saying "ENJOY" . Will be back John thank you Mark

Great place, relaxed and family friendly. We were very impressed with the food, we've been there a few times but had never ordered the salad nicoise. Wow, what a surprise, I ordered as a main and was so full I could barely finishe it! Real tuna, beautifully dressed with real olive oil, beautiful!! I will order this again!!

A group of us dined at the Cricketers. Good table and excellent service, very patient.

We have just returned from an absolutely lovely Sunday lunch here.

Visited with a group of 11 U3A ramblers .Everyone pleased with the food , service & drinks selection ( I had a pint of 'Jake the snake ' -great) .

We have just had lunch here. Good choice of meals from proper pies to smoked salmon baked potatoes. Brilliant service and all plates happily emptied by our large group of walkers. We will return!

Popped in here for a spot of late lunch on a Monday afternoon. We had the day off work so wanted to go somewhere different.

Been back to this pub after several years absence and now we are back in the area I am delighted the cricketers is even better than when we used to go years back. Have been Sunday lunch and also a few days later sat outside eating and enjoying the sunshine. On both occasions the food was excellent ! Staff were very nice and this definitely is a place I shall be returning to as often as possible.

Really lovely meals and a great friendly welcome 🙏 just popped in for lunch on a Monday and was so good we booked for dinner on the Friday

2pm on a Sunday isn’t the best time to eat but the Cricketers surpassed itself. Great roasts & tuna nicoise with quick attentive service. Great crumble & sticky toffee pudding too. Highly recommended

It's a long time since i saw it but as i remember that film with Judy Garland started with her and Toto her dog skipping round a pigsty ...ALL in BLACK AND WHITE . . then after a Twister she assended up to the land of Oz in GLORIOUS Tecnicolour. this how it was with us ...After trolling the roads that crisscross the A12 it was as if we like Judy we chanced apon the Cricketers...my friend who dabbles a bit in brush and pastel shouted "i must paint the place" i with tongue hanging out agreed so long as drink and vittles were being served..as soon as we entered its vestibule we were in the land of Oz...my friend asked for a glass of red. . the barmaid gave a comprehensive choice of thewines, to which my friend being an Essex boy selected, "any red" my friend Ken usually drinks as i do the best pump beer i asked for a half of IPA which the bar maid who i thinks name was Venus...or if not it should be. gave me a sample,, nectar . . then the menu no nonsense you got what it said on the tin in plain english. . glutonfree James made an off the menu request .. i thought here we go but no Pandora V right hand waved it through Ken and i plumped for catch of the day fish (not from the river Chelmer )excellent thank you all . john

I really like this pub,always buzzing and not a football shirt or tattoo in sight.Went for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago and came away very disappointed.

Surf & Turf starter not great, steak tough. Main took another hour to arrive. Rump of lamb was excellent, rest of the plate lukewarm. Panna cotta dessert was meant to come with a toffee doughnut, actually came with berry muffin. All looked lovely but came away disappointed.

We recently held a wake at The Cricketers, and the event was handled with the utmost care and professionalism from start to finish. Fiona handled the logistics carefully and thoroughly, and Chloe and the other bar staff on the day were all very friendly and worked really hard to ensure that the event ran smoothly and that the guests were all well looked after. The food was delicious and plentiful. A special mention to Kieron, the manager, who went out of his way to ensure the arrangements were to our satisfaction, and even popped in on his day off to make absolutely sure - thank you Kieron!

What a pleasant surprise - the food and drink at this place is marvellous. Feels very homemade and delicious - the specials are something else. A definite recommendation for anyone in the area.

We had a really lovely afternoon with friends, such good friendly staff, and a great selection of food and drinks, it has a very friendly atmosphere, and we will be back, thanks everyone.

Hands down best Sunday lunch around. Great atmosphere, location and good for kids. Never been disappointed with the food and quality is outstanding. Good quality beer and wine choice too.

We found this pub back in the summer last year and we have been back several times since and the food and staff are excellent. We visited last night with friends, just the 4 of us and had a fantastic meal, Chris our waiter was as usual very attentive to our needs and we had a very lovely evening with the open fire adding its contribution to the night, visiting this pub you will never be disappointed. Thank you for making my celebration even more special

Popped in for a bar lunch and was not disappointed. The Adnams bitter on hand pump and in excellent condition. Jacket potato with chili was specially good and unlike ssimilar I have had elsewhere.

Approached the bar, husband and son in law sharing a joke, after all it was a family lunch. Noticed a man not sure who behind the bar semi roll eyes. Not exactly the most welcoming first impression.

Now under new management The Cricketers has been transformed into a welcoming Pub and restaurant that i really cant fault.

Lovely in the summer, sitting outside with a drink or 2. Pizza from the pizza oven in the back garden is lovely. Recommend for a quick bite to eat. Have yet to have a sit down inside.

We went with friends to the Cricketers for lunch, we really enjoyed it, lovely atmosphere on arrival, and really good staff, they were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them, excellent menu, which also includes a 'specials menu' we will definitely return, thanks everyone.

We went to the Beaujolais evening at the Cricketers. The food was excellent - a really well thought out French menu. The staff were welcoming and helpful - I'd happily book for another similar evening.

This was our first visit to the The Cricketers and was not disappointed, we were greeted by happy and very helpful staff that could not be more attentive, which made the evening a very pleasant experience. My wife had the scallops with pork belly and I had mussels to start, followed by my wife having Lemon sole with brown shrimps, tomato and baby gem butter and I had the harissa rump of lamb with chick pea salsa. Well done to the chefs, looking at the plates when they arrived at the table put a lot of effort and passion into there dishes then you get to taste them they were exceptional.We did not have room for dessert but we will definitely be returning to try them,this gem of a pub cannot wait to return.

Took the parents for a Sunday lunch and have to say it was excellent. The food was served quickly and was just delicious. With the roast lunch you get as much veg and potatoes as you like so for 5 adults this was good news, albeit the plates we were served were big enough portions. I WOULD RECOMMEND this place for a great lively sunday roast, good food and service. Well done guys keep it up.

Heard nothing but glowing reviews about this place but I can honestly say I’ve never eaten a worse roast dinner in my life. They substituted some of the roasties for uncooked new potatoes, refused me point blank a side dish when I asked for one and the chicken was uncooked. Very sad but I would not recommend this pub ‍♀️

We booked for a late lunch in the dining room but arrived early. The staff were very happy to bring our time forward when we decided to sit outside. Food was great, beer nicely kept and the staff attentive. Prices were very reasonable £80 for two course for the three of us including drinks. Would certainly recommend.

As we had the dog with us we sat in the bar area and had a great meal. All the dishes we had were very tasty and service was good. They also had treats and water for the dog. We have eaten here and few times now and look forward to returning

The new garden bar and pizza oven allow you to be out in the sun, away from the road and still get your food and drinks. The kids love the owners tank too

Great find. We past the cricketers a few weeks ago and decided to give it a go today. Excellent. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. I had the burger for mains. By far the best one i had in a very long time. The goat cheese tart with beetroot was very nice as well. Ample seating in and outside. Definitely will come back to try other things on the menu.

Four of us ate early on a Saturday evening. We had three courses each, shared a bottle of wine and had drinks before, the bill was £40/head including a 10% tip, which was excellent value. The quality of the food for all of us was impressive. The chicken tandoori is worth a special mention, it was so tasty. We ate inside the pub, there is also plenty of seating options outside. We will definitely be returning. Many thanks to all.

Not been here before but had been recommended. Looked like a nice place.

Visited the Cricketers today and had some fantastic pizzas from the outside bar. Really nicely done and very authentic, highly recommend.

Reviews normally give an opinion based on personal taste, but I would think The Cricketers would be hard to fault by anyone if my experience today is anything to go by..

Haven’t been here for around four months, the refurbishment has made a pleasant difference.

At the end of a four hour walk our group were happy to sink a glass or two and enjoy a hearty lunch. The pub is well appointed, receives lunchtime reservations and has a decent size car park. I look forward to returning once I have re-educated my sat nav!

so much so that I have eaten here so many times I have ended up working my way through every dish now the new owner has got the one vital ingredient: CONSISTENCY - Enjoyed all the meals for varying reasons - But wanted something different - So my Wife and I have just had the specials of the day - Rump of Lamb & Swordfish Risotto - Absolutely amazing....,

Food cold & dreadful service- party of seven came for a birthday meal. Food was poorly presented, small portions and half of the meals were cold. Told the owner when clearing and subsequently emailed him detailed comments. Had to send a reminder on the email to get a reply and the reply was insulting and rude. Everyone can have an off day but when the owner doesnt care if the food is cold and the customer unhappy then all I can say is we wont be back until the pub changes owners

As we were a tricky group, with one vegetarian and one ceolliac I called in advance to check if there were a gluten free options on the menu. A member of staff returned my call saying that they would be happy to amend dishes on the menu so that they would be gluten free. When we go to the restaurant our waiter had been briefed in advance and thoughtfully checked to make sure that my cousin's choices could be adapted to make them gluten free. He did so with consideration but without any undue fuss. There were also lots of meat free options for our vegetarian. Our meal was lovely and the service was excellent. I couldn't fault the food, location, service or ambience.

It was our second visit to the Cricketers and really enjoyed our evening.

Our first visit back to the 'new' Cricketers, was delightful..The new extension, has added a little more space but lost none of the atmosphere.

A very enjoyable 3 course Dinner, all very well prepared. Very good service from helpful staff. Recently renovated with a very high standard of cleanliness.

Another fantastic meal at the cricketers. The bar had a great atmosphere. Excellent all round. Definitely will be back soon.
