The Cricketers in Richmond upon Thames

I cannot speak more highly of Josh and his crew! I had my 40th birthday here and Josh and team went to great lengths to make sure I had a great time. We had drinks and the band on the ground floor and food was served on the first floor over looking the green. Food was delicious, beers great and they could cater for everyone. A great spot and it really made my birthday that bit more special. Thanks guys.

Nice local pub. A few items our table wanted were not avaliable, even simple things like carrots which was disappointing. But the food we did have was tasty and good portions.

Amazing food in a friendly traditional London pub! Holly was so lovely and very attentive! We will definitely be back.

Really nice pub good fish and chips service was great thank you Chessie!

We had a great time. Chessie was fantastic and we had excellent service.

Lovely food, had the roast beef. Delicious! Angus was very attentive and provided a great service :)

Chessie was lovely and a very attentive host! Splendid Sunday lunch and we will definitely be returning :)

A wonderful Sunday lunch! Delicious food, great service and a lovely view of the park.

Angus was a great host. The roast was delicious and good beer too.

Recommended pub with private room upstairs for functions.

Amazing Sunday lunch, thank you to Angus (I believe that was his name) for fabulous service

A lovely pub and the food was amazing. Chesie was our waitress and really friendly. We arrived early and she had the table ready and drinks were bought over quickly. Lovely pub on a winters day right by the green.

Lovely people, good food and nice atmosphere. Best pub in Richmond ❤️ Pets friendly

Danielle was a lovely bartender! She really delivered hassle free service and was really really lovely.

Excellent service for 40 covers, 3 course table service. Great food and super friendly staff

Danielle was a fantastic host for our private birthday event.

A lovely pre-Christmas evening. Really great service. We were a big table and our waitress was brilliant at looking after us and responding really quickly to our requests.

Five star service from Josh and his team for a Christmas meal We had sole use of the upstairs room for our group of 25 which was great. Lovely food, venison in particular was high quality. Service was always there but not obtrusive. The name cards with the individual pre-orders were a nice touch. thank you ⭐

the staff was amazing, they were so friendly and helpful, food was amazing

Outstanding food and very friendly service! Thanks

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere.

Thank you to Sanja. Great service. Food on the whole was delicious although the Arctic roll sponge and ice cream was a bit of a funny texture! Will be back though!

We were visiting Richmond on a day out, and wanted some lunch, after walking around not knowing the local area we came across The Cricketers .On entering , Angus made us feel welcome , we ordered drinks and made our way to a table , Angus brought some menu’s over . My wife had the flat iron steak and i had the monkfish & prawn curry.The steak was cooked to perfection and nicely presented, the curry was again nicely presented , it was the best curry i have had in ages. My wife had cherry crumble with specially made dairy free custard and also a serving of raspberry sorbet , which was delicious. We would not hesitate to give this pub 5 stars . Alan and Janet

The food, burgers were so tasty. Chessie who took our food and drinks orders was very friendly and professional, couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely be back. Also dog friendly ♡♡

Chessie was a perfect host, going out of her way to accommodate our off-menu requests. Absolutely charming! The pub itself was cosy and inviting, overlooking Richmond green.

When we went there the menu was limited and they didn’t offer what they offered online. The food was ok just had a burger. Lovely pub

Very nice pub in a lovely area overlooking the green

Our first time at The Cricketers. Sanja was very helpful and attentive. We’ll be coming back!

We may have been unlucky… it was our first time having lunch here. We had to wait for over an hour for the food being served… that wouldn't have been an issue if the food would have been good… My lamb roast was dry, my Yorkshire pudding flat and chewy … my husband’s fish and chips really not great either… we decided not to have dessert . Really sorry but not the best expected pub in Richmond

We were looking for somewhere to have Sunday lunch in Richmond. We happened across the Cricketers. Fortunately they had a table and the four of us enjoyed a lovely turkey roast followed by dessert. Our server Sanja was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcomed. Sanja - we’ll book next time and will be back! Thank you

Came as a group for the Christmas set menu and everything was great! Speedy and welcoming drinks service, good communication about timings of our courses, excellent food (we order a range of items and all reviews were positive). Table was set with Christmas crackers which was a nice touch. Just be aware there may be an ‘end time’ to your booking (2.5hrs for us) if you wish to stay longer).

Very helpful and friendly staff, very welcoming to our dog, a lovely experience.

Lunch on a very cold Thursday . Lovely open fire, great atmosphere, views over Richmond Green . Excellent service, great food . Group of 7 all ordered something different . All excellent . Couldn't have chosen better . Well worth many visits.

Amazing pub great, Kai was an amazing server. Will come back again for sure

We had a lovely meal in this petite pub! We were served by Jessica who was brilliant.

Angus was fantastic from the moment we walked in, to the moment we left. Really happy, and will definitely come back again.

Great food. Kai and Jess are fantastic

Kai was fantastic. Jess is lovely as well! We loved food and the atmosphere. Thank you!

Jess and Kai were amazing. Good food and good service

Angus took excellent care of us, even on such a busy match day. Great service and lovely food.

Served by Jess and she was lovely 👍

First time and was lovely. Sanya was very kind and service was great. Definitely recommend.

Such a nice environment, very authentic and amazing service from Kaiias. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Roast was phenomenal will definitely be back again. Team were lovely and very accommodating, Sanya’s warm and inviting energy was something we would definitely come back for

Food was top notch! Thought I was in for generic pub fare but it was better than expected. We had the cheeseburger and steak sandwich, both were fantastic. Cheers to Sanja for great service.

A superb meal before the Rugby 🏉

Thank you for accommodating our last minute request! Lovely buzzing and friendly gastropub. As for the food… as my 2 year old said afterwards “YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY.” Thank you Kai for looking after us so well - particularly for bringing our son the mini football table to play with to keep him entertained.

A lovely roast after a walk in Richmond Park - super friendly service, staff were on top of it despite being very busy!

Very accomodating on a Sunday! Angus and Sanja were very welcoming

Sanja, Angus and the gang were super accommodating to us especially given it was such a busy day.

Busy pub on rugby day but, staff still very friendly & provide great service. Even though Kai was rushed off his feet he still checked to make sure our food was ok. Definitely a place to go back

Best pub in Richmond! Kai and the rest of the staff are the main reason I come in! Love the place

The food here is outstanding. Not your run of the mill pub food but well thought out and borderline gourmet quality. I can’t recommend The Cricketers enough. The staff has always been really kind, attentive and welcoming. It’s regular spot I bring friends to!

Lovely food and great service! Thanks Chessie & Co

Really amazing pub, good location as well next to the green. Friendly and good service, had a nice chat with the manager who seemed great! Will 100% be going back again

Brilliant pub with a really wholesome atmosphere. Located on a beautiful green with super tasty food and fast & friendly service. The manager in particular was brilliant at supporting with some rude customers. Will defo go again!

Nice 'character' at bar waiting/chatting.

I had been wanting to go the The Cricketers for a while, after doing some googling around pubs in Richmmond. The outside is beautiful, reviews on the food are good, and it’s in a superb location looking over the Green. Unfortunately, our experience was far from pleasant and probably the rudest I have ever been spoken to by a waiter. Upon entry, we spotted a table towards the back of the pub which was empty and headed over to it. In an aggressive tone, the waiter told us to wait until he had cleaned it which is fair enough, so we stood back. Once we sat down, the only thing he told us was that the table was booked for 3:30pm so we’d have to move (At this point it was 2:25pm, so we were not worried as on average we spend about an hour in a pub from start to finish). He proceeded to chuck a reserved sign on it and ignore us for a further 15 minutes. In this time frame, I witnessed him clear a table, take payments at the same table and then pour their drinks into plastic cups to take to the Green. Next, he went over to another table and explained to them about the pie of the day etc… and took orders from the table. He continued to walk past our table, turning his head to avoid eye contact each time. Eventually we asked very politely if we could order drinks and food as we’d been sat there for 20 minutes and were conscious that time was ticking, and the table was reserved for an hour later (as he had sassily pointed out initially). The response was incredibly rude, bitter and quite frankly unprofessional, as he said “Oh…. you want me to serve you?? Ummmmm….. I mean sure if you want but you really need to say so because it isn’t really table service but ummm yea”. I cannot even begin to describe the tone in which this was said, but it was enough for us to stand up and walk to another pub down the road without hesitation, where we endured lovely service and food. I do not know what happened here, as the man in question had been serving other tables, so I am unsure why the rules were different for us. I can only assume it was because we were a group of three young people (This is no excuse as were were polite the whole way through). There was absolutely no indication via signage that we should go to the bar to order food or drinks, nor was that explained to us upon entry. However, since we watched everyone else be served in a civil manner I have to assume this was a decision made by this waiter out of malice. The Cricketers could be a wonderful pub, but I would seriously consider re-assessing your staffing decisions.

Top class food with good drink and lovely staff. Great location as well

An idyllic pub overlooking Richmond Green. Have been on a couple of occasions on a lastminute / can you fit us in scenario & have always found us a table. On our last visit I took my brother & his girlfriend who are visiting from Australia, they thoroughly enjoyed lunch, the surroundings & the ever helpful welcoming staff that were in attendance that day. Great selection of food & beverages available at a great price. Look forward to returning again soon. (I may even remember to pre-book) Recommend the Croque Monsieur & steak sandwiches ... 😋

Have spent many an evening here, and cannot fault it. Being in such a great location in Richmond it’s the perfect spot for a cheeky beer on the way home or to meet friends. Service has always been top notch - attentive, polite and quick.

If you’re looking for poor and unprofessional service , this is the place for you. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like an inconvenience rather than welcomed customers, and the pub was hardly overcrowded to say the least. After being seated, we waited for 20 minutes, watching the server attend to other tables, whilst blatantly ignoring ours. When we finally attempted to place an order, the server’s attitude was shockingly rude. Rather than simply taking our order, he responded with a dismissive, “Oh, well if you want to be served you should just say” In a tone that would fit in on the real housewives of Beverley hills, yet proceeded to walk off and still not serve us. This level of unprofessionalism made it clear that customer service was not a priority, so we decided to leave without ordering. It’s disappointing, as the food did look edible, but it wasn’t worth enduring such poor service . Instead we headed to the White Cross down the road, on the river with a lovely atmosphere and service.

Came here for food and a beer twice in two days..fantastic meals ..wonderful staff ..real proper pub 10/10

Cosy traditional pub at Richmond Green. The food was good but it was not worth it the steep bill at the end. Sunday roas should give you that warmth inside but this one unfortunately didn’t. Great service with friendly and welcoming staff.

Had a lovely lunch at The Cricketers, the food was good as was the beer. It was the service that really shone through though. Angus behind the bar was fantastic, from start to finish he was welcoming, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. What a difference great service makes!

Big shout out to Kai and Angus for looking after me and my friend who were catching up over a perfect pint. My friend doesn't drink and they now have draught Lucky Saint so that made her night! Perfect for winter cozy pub and for take away pints in the summer.

We were welcomed and looked after on arrival. Excellent attentive and unfussy service with Jessica ensuring everything was just right.

Amazing food. Wonderful service by all the staff! Especially Angus!

Angus was such a lovely waiter, food was lovely and really enjoyable experience all around!

Great food and service, particular thanks to Connor we made sure we were well looked after throughout our lunch

Came here with a friend for lunch before heading to the theatre. We were seated quickly and as, I had mentioned it was my friends birthday on the online booking form, were given a drink on the house which was a nice touch. The staff were exceptionally friendly, especially our server, Kaiias, who came back every so often to check on us. There was a good choice of food and drinks and our meal was hot and delicious. It appears to be a very popular pub and I can see why. Would we return. Definitely!

We came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and it was a really lovely experience. The food was 10/10 and the staff were very friendly and accommodating, Connor was serving us and he was lovely. Will definitely be returning when back in Richmond!

A lovely gastro pub on Richmond Green. A perfect pre theatre stop with a great atmosphere. Good selection of food and wine. Jess was fantastic - professional, attentive and friendly.

Great team of staff, customer focused, 👏

Friendly and accommodating to dog and baby. Nice burgers

A great spot with a view of Richmond Green and the staff are incredibly welcoming

Great atmosphere and very friendly service from Jess. Thank you.

Had a lovely roast here. Our food wasn’t very hot when it arrived, but Conor was very helpful and sorted this out for us, as well as giving us a complimentary drink. The roast itself was delicious!

Awesome pub. Must visit. Food is amazing, best in Richmond. We got served by Jess. She was amazing. Highly recommend a visit.

Great pub, great service from Jess very cheerful and friendly

Jessica was a great host. Very attentive. Will return.

Jess was a lovely and attentive waiter!

Lovely food. Scotch eggs were amazing, soup of the day (potato and leek) was above average and chicken pot pie was tasty, not too heavy. Angus is an amazing host, helpful and warm. Overall a lovely experience. No photos to share as we were hungry.

We were a party of seven Angus served us he was very friendly and super efficient. We all enjoyed our food and left very content. There was a great atmosphere in the pub which was very busy despite it being a wet soggy day.

A lovely pub on the edge of The Green in Richmond. The staff were very chatty and friendly. Couldn't do enough to ensure we felt welcomed. We had some sourdough and butter to accompany our drinks. The sun was shining so many came into the pub for a take away pint (served in plastic) to enjoy with a picnic on the green. Lots of cricket memorabilia adorning the walls.

Love their roast. Light season just about right.

Thanks Connor and all the staff ! We were at the mercy of TFL and running late on a busy Saturday night but after ringing they kept our table for 2. Great food and a lovely atmosphere. Thanks.

We didn't eat, the staff are friendly, they seem happy and engaged we us.

Came for a roast with a big group on a busy Sunday. Friendly service, generous portions and good quality food!

Amazing service by Jessica especially as it was so busy! Super quick and tasty roast

Jess was an absolute star waitress! My family and I had booked a table to celebrate my brother running the Richmond marathon. The restaurant was very accommodating as we arrived in two separate parties, making us aware of the time the table needed to be turned over to the next clients, drinks were order and arrived swiftly. Food was delicious and overall excellent experience! Highly recommended, Jess made the entire experience a lot more enjoyable, gave us a great run down of the menu and explained the beat wine that would pair with the Sunday roasts… 5 stars 🫶

Dinner with a friend on Thursday 12 September eve. A very kind staff served us through the eve. Nice place good food

Such great food and service here! Connor is such a lovely host and we really enjoyed the evening spent here. Would recommend.

Great place with amazing food! Our server Jess was so kind and patient with us. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Such a great pub - tasty food and amazing staff. Connor was super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Amazing roast, great view and lovely atmosphere! Would recommend.

Angus was very attentive and had a pleasant demeanour.

Angus was a consummate professional, recommending a great IPA for my husband and selecting the perfect table for our reservation. Sanja provided excellent table service and was lovely and attentive. On top of that, the food was delicious between a croque monsieur loaded with homemade bechamel and cheese, a sirloin sandwich with homemade onion rings and perfectly cooked chunky chips. Plus a view onto the green on a beautiful day, we thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere at this gem of a pub.

Josh and the entire staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. It's clear that the team takes great pride in providing excellent customer service. I always feel welcomed and valued whenever I come here. Thank you to the manager for fostering such a positive environment. --- Feel free to personalize it further with specific details about your experience!

Jess and Martin were outstanding servers. Good was great especially the chicken club!
