Food was hot, and tastey.great service. No rushed feeling We had burgers and didn't regret it.

Great place to have a pint and warltch the Cricket.

Great pub. Entertainment most weekends and shows a load of sports.

Many menus ,confused with the lunch one ,says drinks come with ,didnt have most of them ,then got charge extra ???,pub a bit tired ,ladies needs a defo up grade .

A really nice pub, as you would imagine a pub to be. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The food was okay. I've eaten better and also worse. I had a rump steak. That was okay.

Lovely friendly staff great food reasonable price drinks who could ask for more

Pleasant enough for a quick lunch.

Fantastic service and a great atmosphere to meet up with friends, if the sins out even better 😀

Never fails to disappoint! Whether it’s a quick drink/lunch/dinner or a Christmas Day meal this pub has always been amazing! Kieran and his team have always strived to make such a great atmosphere! Live singers, quiz nights, live sport you name it this pub has it! So proud to call this our local! 🙌🏻 highly recommend!

The service was courteous, humorous and super easy to get along with. We've been there twice this week, had fun and don't plan on changing pubs this week :) By the way, the food was also quite good 🤤 The service was courteous, humorous and super easy to get along with.

We recently hired the cricketers for a 70th birthday party, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was beyond expectations and overall very good! Hayden and her team did an excellent job organizing and setting up the bar area, they were all very welcoming and friendly. A great venue for a special occasion!

Bar staff geat but security are a jobs worth, I asked for a plastic cup and je refused saying its not there policy.

Father's day lunch , not busy , football on the tellys, and live music ! Food OK service not great, our main course dirty plates were not removed until after our dessert was served although staff walked past our table several times empty handed to go back to the kitchen!

Been in quite a few times recently mainly for drinks (but have been for food many times and will be continuing to do so) lovely friendly welcome guaranteed and always a pleasant experience.

Great atmosphere had a great night

Great pub amazing service friendly staff

Delighted to visit The Cricketers to thank Kieran, Shereen and the team for their fantastic fundraising. Almost £3,000 raised to date for Macmillan Cancer Support. Thank you to the team and customers for their generosity and support 💚💚💚

Great place for a family night out

Stopped in The Cricketers today with my daughter. We both had a cheese & bacon burger. The pub was really busy but the atmosphere was friendly and the service excellent. The food was well-presented and delicious. First visit but definitely won’t be our last.

Hayden is amazing and a very great person ro serve you at this lively pub.

It is better to book in advance if going to dinner on Sunday evening with a big group! Otherwise, great and friendly service.

Love this place, great for a family of all ages on a sunny Sunday

Always welcomed with a smile. Food and drink is always very nice and the atmosphere is just as good. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy a good atmosphere, good food and a laugh.

Always a great atmosphere kierans and his team are always helpful and smiling. Very family friendly and a great place to watch the footy. Thanks for all the good times.

We’ve loved this place for years, today we visited for my mums birthday, there was a slight issue with her steak but it was dealt with swiftly and professionally by Shereen, she couldn’t have been lovelier. Thanks so much

A great British boozer serving good value food

Very busy but a great service still .

A really lovely meal for the family. It looks lovely with the twinkly lights and the staff were really lovely and took care of us. We could tell Alex made a really big effort to make sure everyone was happy with everything. Everyone had a different meal in our group and we all really enjoyed what we had and they were good portions for the price too. We had a toddler with us and she enjoyed her option and they kindly brought a bit of hers out early to help us out which was thoughtful. We will certainly be back!

The quality of the food here has improved greatly in the past year. This is a very well run establishment with great service from friendly and helpful staff. The fish and chips definitely the best I’ve had in a chain pub. An easy 5 stars Amended to 3 stars. Last visit (Feb 24’) beef pie had a lot of gristle in it and service was not as friendly and cheerful as had come to expect. Maybe an off day?

Super friendly Landlord and staff. Good food and fair prices. Give it a try!

Had a very enjoyable night watching the football. Great atmosphere and great pints.

Was here tonight had food and drinks was impressed with the service and the food would 100% recommend this pub Haydn and the young lady Sarah working was outstanding I would 100% recommend this pub all bar staff make u feel very welcome 😁

I went down to the cricks was a lovely pub bar staff are very welcoming especially the young lady working Sarah always has a smile on her face lovely to talk to really enjoyed my time there 100% going back

Haden and Mia are absolute legends, always have a smile on and there vibes are moving

The bar staff is amazing, makes you feel at home and is very accommodating. Hayden and Mia are very professional, friendly and polite. Will definitely come back 👍

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Lots of parking, functional area and a children's play park opposite. We come here quite regularly

A dying breed type of pub. Traditional, non pretensious.

Great place, food is brilliant, using app on phone to order is so easy and convenient

Great pub fayre. Good service. Nice atmosphere. The portions are bigger. I just couldn't wait to eat.🤣

The food and service is very good

I arranged my mother’s 70th party here, and all was ok until 9pm when all the children were asked to leave. Now as I was the person who booked the place I can state for a fact that I was not ‘pre-warned’ about this happening. I have all the emails to prove it. I even spoke to an assistant manager Mia to arrange food times and pay, and she didn’t even bring it up. So not only was it terrible service but you also lied in previous replies to other reviews because you didn’t tell me about this ridiculous policy for private parties. The way it was handled was awful. The poor duty manager had no clue, and obviously had no ability to handle the situation, so the heavy handed doorman took charge. We were given a grace period to vacate the premises but by this time the mood and atmosphere had been shattered and the party ruined. The door man even said ‘we’re not asking everyone to leave, just the kids’! So were we supposed to just send the children home alone? Just ridiculous. Then for the rest of the time he was hovering around making his presence felt. Making the ‘grace’ period rather uncomfortable. No offer of compensation, no customer service. If I could have given zero stars I would have. If you’re looking for a party venue don’t go near it. Service at the bar was slow at best. All round a pretty poor show. My guests were left disappointed and upset, especially my mum.

Had a private family party at the weekend. Going alright until we were told to remove all children from the party after 9pm hit. It was a private party, in an advertised private function room. Not once was is it told to us about children only being allowed until 9pm during the booking process, otherwise we wouldn't have booked in the first place! Absolute poor show, and handled equally as terrible with use of a big-burly-trying-to-be intimidating doorman to extract our children whilst most of the time the manager hid behind the scenes, until demanded to be spoken to about the absolute balls up that they had made!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND IN THE SLIGHTEST, AVOID, AVOID. Ruined my mum's 70th birthday party, and put a whole dampner on the night after that.

Amazing food super friendly staff really enjoyed my time here

Ruined my nans party even tho it’s was private function by kicking all the underage people out. So everyone had to leave. Rubbish service. Lack of staff. Staff were extremely unfair and rude especially the bald security man. Never returning again.

Worst experience ever unclean cups and poor service.. barstaff didn't understand what a black cup of tea was

Been going here for many years. Never disappoints. Friendly pub. Good quality food, welcoming staff and plenty of drink choice

I visited The Cricketers Arms in Southwick this week and was pleasantly surprised by how lovely and clean the pub was. The staff were really friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was great. I saw some delicious dishes being served to other customers, and I can’t wait to come back and try them myself. This is a great pub for a relaxing and enjoyable time, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to eat and drink in Southwick.

Good vibe but food was a let down. However, was rather cheap.

It's like a lot of places these days, they keep you waiting a long time because they are very often short of staff and if you have to wait more time then they hope that you will spend more money on drinks.

90 mins for food that was still cold and below standard I asked manger all was told food is on Its way one poor bar staff serve the whole pub since the new owners this local pub is gone down hill avoid..

Wheelchair accessible, really helpful and friendly staff, easy parking and value for money.

I have had a really disappointing experience. My gf came to the till with my friends to order food. It was 21:50 one of staff took food orders from my friends but another one of staff with coloured hair was just standing at the bar and looking at us doing nothing. 10 mins later At 21:00 (when kitchen closed) she came over asking if she wants anything, when we asked for food she said the kitchens closed at 9pm obviously it was too late because she was just standing lazy and waiting for 9pm for kitchen to close not serving anyone when the 2nd staff was doing the proper job. this happened on 6th of January 21:00

The breakfast with Santa was amazing and lovely all of my nieces and nephews absolutely loved and left really happy and satisfied the staff was amazing as well

The breakfast with Santa was a definite hit with my children, they loved every single minute. The pub staff itself was understanding what my child has additional needs and needed a distraction to calm himself down we went off to see the football tree which set off he’s happy stims and he’s still talking about it now. My kids are over the moon there so happy food was brilliant, staff was lovely as ever. Definitely coming back to it next year if it’s on. Everyone deserves a massive pat on the back for organising such a wonderful Christmas event. Definitely money worth spent! 10/10

Took my children to breakfast with santa, it was a really enjoyable event with santa coming round to chat with the kids as we ate and then had an opportunity to sit with him for chat, photo and present. Service was fantastic as always with the staff being happy and friendly

Nice time meals too afters £1. Christmas is here kids meals too

You can be guaranteed a great beer here, for a Green King 👑 The Landlord is a top guy. A really welcoming family pub.

I liked the food, I had two of their "2 Plates for £13.49" all for myself and several Morettis. I am very happy

Working in the area walked through the front doors a little busy as Brighton was playing as soon as I walked to the bar greeted by a happy chappy who asked how my day was quickly served asked about food pointed towards the restaurant food ordered on the app arrived in good time food was hot and cooked well all in all a 10 out 10 would highly recommend

Thank you so much the Cricketers for getting a meal out yo my son and i when we were in a rush and cutting it fine !! Really appreciated when the bar was so busy too! We will be back as a lovely friendly atmosphere thanks again!

Didn't have any food so can't comment really liked the place drinks prices were reasonable

Friendly service & great value lunch for 3 at just over £30. Amazing pie.

Just came in here for after work drinks and a few games of darts. Will be back for sure.

Enjoyable experience food and beer great ,music not to loud attentive staff

I have never been more impressed with a level of service. Two lads working on a Sunday afternoon, even though they were very busy they went above and beyond to make not just us, but, everyone around us feel welcome and looked after. Amazing. Great work guys.

Lovely pub good atmosphere nice food and reasonable prices 👌

Delicious food and drink, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff. It’s just a shame there is never any soap in the toilets or hand sanitiser in any of the dispensers. Every time I go in, I have to ask the staff for soap.

Great food and friendly staff. Prices brilliant can't wait to try. again.

Je n'ai jamais ressenti aussi peu de goût dans les plats servis dans un pub anglais... Même en surgelé, je pense qu'on peut trouver de meilleurs produits. Très déçu. Sinon, le service a été très bien mené. Un autre point fort, la présence d'un magicien qui nous a diverti.

My friend and I were in search of a burger and found it here! Good enough!

Great pub, lovely setting and chilled, friendly atmosphere. We were served by Hayden who was a wonderful host, made us feel very welcome and was incredibly helpful. Would highly recommend, hope to come back again when in the area again.

Decided to pop in on way back from beach with the kids for a quick pint at the end of the day (for me not the children) Although being my local I rarely visit, but when I do, the staff have always been fantastic, happy, chatty and attentive. The venue itself is very nice with lots of space to sit whether inside or out. One thing missing from the drinks menu is hot chocolate though ;) Also grateful for the fact the pool machine has contactless as carrying cash is a rarity. Plan to pop back soon for some food. Thank you Cricks

I've been here twice in the last month, the 1st time, when it was hot weather, so me, with a group of ladies, I had a small lunch. Ordered a portion of rosemary skin on chips, & it was only a small portion for the price, but apart from that the menu was varied & prices competitive 🥰. Then visited on Tues with same group, but inside &, cos a different amount of ladies turning up, nice long tables & lots of seating. A nice big pub & friendly staff

Ate on a fairly quiet lunchtime during summer hols. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very long wait for food; almost an hour. The food was not ready at the same time; 2 of the party were almost finished by the time all food was delivered to the table. Staff (waitress and manager) were incredibly apologetic and offered us complimentary drinks. Food was nice although not particularly warm. Mushroom chilli very tasty, as was the bacon cheeseburger. Steak in ciabatta was well done despite it being ordered medium rare.

Sat outside beautiful day Had to go and remind them to bring dessert and I took the plates in myself as seagulls were coming around Glasses on tables were being smashed as the wind blew them off the tables. But staff were friendly and helpful and the food was nice

Reasonably priced, mint and friendly staff 10/10 highly recommend for those working out of the port.

Standard Greene King offer. But service super and waiting staff very friendly and kind. Good value for money. Didnt feel rushed to get off the table.

Gammon was absolutely divine. Good price and service. Do miss the mushroom and ale pie but good variety of veggie food. Only complaint is the coriander on the food but that’s a personal preference and next time will ask for no garnish, once removed the food underneath was great. Also delicious lemonade! Can’t wait to come back !

lovely afternoon at the cricketers, We sat on the terrace and enjoyed the food and drink whilst the kids played in the park opposite. Great food, decent service and well priced 👌🏼 We'll be visiting again

Brilliant location, great selection on tap and lovely staff 👍

A nice atmosphere family pub service was great!

This is a friendly pub with glorious aspects to Southwick Green where you can relax on the balcony and watch the cricket or your children in the playground on the Green. The food is pub food but well cooked and presented at competitive prices, so no arguments there for me. Staff are friendly and willing to help with most enquiries. Because of its popularity it does get busy so at these times you may have to wait just a little longer for your food order, however worth the wait. Highly recommended by us and our family.

With an upgraded kitchen and a new menus, this was one of the best pub Sunday roasts I have had. Friendly waitress too. Well done

I had a overwhelming experience at this 5* pub, the service from 2 wonderful bar ladies named Mia and Hayden was exceptional. I wouldn't spend my money anywhere else but here, service is incredible.

Service was not good. Had to wait ages at the bar to order.sunday roast was awful.

Best thing about this pub is one of the senior staff. She's absolute delight and is fantastic she makes coming here the perfect experience, she's attentive and makes you feel genuinely welcome. Hayden is an asset to this pub and deserves all the recognition because without her it would be a hollow experience

Great pub and atmosphere, really friendly staff. Would come again!

Amazing food, great friendly service with an amazing atmosphere. The new burgers are better than their last ones, I would recommend. The pub was clean and so were the toilets. A great family oub

Visited on Bank Holiday with family and what an amazing time. Fair across the road for kids to play in while us adults enjoyed a drink. Food took a while but the pub was extremely busy and we were told about the wait when we ordered so we didn't mind. The staff were working extremely hard especially the lady with purple hair and man with a shaved head who appeared to be the manager. Great stuff!!

The outside is looking a bit tired, but you cannot fault the staff, drinks, and interior. Nice on the patio with the setting sun … and of course a game of cricket to view!

Nice size venue and great for sport as lots of TV's with something different on each if needed it seemed. Great location too, the summers out the front must be brilliant. I've only knocked this place down by 2 stars to 3/5 for the specific two areas they failed in today. Service - ignored on both occasions I went to the bar, in favour of a local each time, who joined me waiting at the bar after I was already there. Food - I had the roast beef. My word, the meat was so over cooked, curling at the edges is had obvs been on the heat lamp treatment for a while, plus was as thick as the heel of my shoe. left half of it. The veg were standard, but the roast potatoes were bulk/packet heated, as was the Yorkie. It was solid as a rock. Whilst I did eat what was enjoyable, that's the reason for not slamming a place like most people do. I'm fair. Proceed with caution given the recent reviews also.

Not the pub I remember the food isn't very good service was unfriendly due to one particular member of staff and the high chairs were either unsafe or dirty sorry just wouldn't go there again 😔

Lovely place, well priced, good vibes

Nice big pub with plenty of room. Good food with great service. Superb for any occasion whether its lunch out with the family after a day at the beach or a lively night out with your Southwick mates when the sun goes down....

Came here with my brother when he was back from Germany.. great pub just bring back the Stella please!!!!

Ich bin aus Deutschland. Ich halte nur für ein Bier an und war schließlich mehr als eins. Wir blieben, bis sie schlossen. wundervoller Ort. Ich wollte einen englischen Pub genießen. und ich habe ein paar Orte in Brighton ausprobiert, aber das war bei weitem das Beste. Gut gemacht, dass Sie so einladend sind. Prost
