The Cricketers Arms in Warwick

They had an issue with their phone today (hadn't been put on their charging cradle correctly so phone kept dying in the first minute of a call). First time I called I checked whether the cov game would be on and then it died. Second time, I got as far as saying I wanted to book a table but provided no details of time, numbers etc and the phone died. I gave up and hoped we'd be able to get a table by just turning up. The guy behind the bar asked if I'd called and I said yes, he was profusely apologetic, had a table ready for us in case we showed up and it was right by the TV. Service was then prompt and excellent and just little things like we are a family of four (one in a pushchair not eating, one who is 5 eating a kid's meal). When he brought the pot of cutlery and sauces over: two sets of adult cutlery, one set of children's cutlery. We had brought our own children's cutlery as usually places don't have any but even when they do, we normally have to ask for it. Food was neither too slow nor too quick and was superb in terms of taste and presentation. Specials were appealing and the menu was varied and sounded great. We had a chicken salad, signature burger and kid's burger. The burgers are from Aubrey Allen 👍🏾. Desserts were also good, I particularly enjoyed my chocolate bread & butter pudding. Finally, to cap it all off, we walked in with Cov trailing 2-0 at half time and left victorious; 3-2 over Luton with an injury time winner. I'll eat there every week if they can get us promoted...

Great place to watch sport and eat great food.

Excellent sunday lunch, great service as well, strongly recommended!

It has great tasting pub food and a good atmosphere.

Super flavourful food. A lovely friendly atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere, great beer, delicious food and friendly staff. What more could you want?

Nice pub. Well behaved dogs are welcome, also Kayakers welcome!!!

Found this little gem as we were staying round the corner and this came up on google as somewhere to get food. The food was delicious, service was very friendly and good choices. We enjoyed it so much when we were finished at a concert at Warwick Castle we asked the taxi driver to drop us off at the Cricketers instead of the hotel.

Lovely staff, very friendly and attentive. Great drinks and Sunday roast! 10/10

Friendly pub by bowling greens, with sport on TV, decent beer( Hill climb, Timothy Taylor Landlord and Bolter) and reasonable food.

Really good atmosphere. Beer was well kept. Love a pint of boltmaker or two. Didn't eat but the food smelt really good.

Absolutely excellent Sunday Roast, beautiful lamb and plenty of fresh vegetables. You could tell everything on the plate had been made from scratch, not taken out of the freezer and warmed up in a microwave.

Nice pub, small but has big outside seating area. Would have scored it higher but they served me a pint of UBU in a very dirty glass.

Great local pub with a busy bar. Showing sports also.

We had such a lovely night here for my leaving do! Incredible staff and such a lovely vibe! Carli, Tom & Rachael were amazing & provided the best service! Highly recommend!

Horrendous service. Chefs were coming out from the kitchen to front of house, laughing and leering at the women in our party. We were made to feel like we were an inconvenience when ordering food.

Reliably pleasant place for a weekday lunch. Easy to park outside, beer is well kept, food decent.

Excellent tv screen and good atmosphere.

Throughly enjoyed the Sunday roast(meat could bit little more only criticism) Dessert fab as was service ☆☆

Fantastic find in Leamington. Thoroughly looked after, great atmosphere and the food was first class. Loved it here and will be back. Big party well looked after :-) with ease and class

We ate here every day during our weekend in Leamington Spa. Always made very welcome, a good selection of beers and a great food menu. Of particular note is the Sunday Roast which we regard as best ever. Well worth the pleasant 10 minute stroll alongside the river from the town. Highly recommended.

What a lovely pub with beautiful food and first class service. Would highly recommend.

Impromptu visit. Good food and drinks. Very friendly staff Thankyou

Fantastic to see Timothy Taylor's Golden Best on tap. Landlord is a great beer, but Golden Best is not as strong and the perfect thirst quencher! - On this later visit I have found they have all 5 Timothy Taylor's beers on tap. I must have died and gone to heaven 😂. I need to give The Cricketer's 6 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Friendly local proper pub... Good food great ales

Had a meal while staying round the corner and what a great experience, lovely food ,great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Defiantly a place to visit for food or just a dring

Great place, makes our mut feel really welcome and us too !!

Friendly And Helpful staff, And Excellent Food.

Note no food available on Mondays.

Wow! Called in for lunch with an old friend, great greeting and super service, busy but calm atmosphere. Tasty ale and fantastic food; don’t miss the chef’s own recipe chilli con carne, absolute stunning dish of beef chilli, just the right smack of chilli! Highly recommend this great pub.

Saw a David Bowie tribute band here on the Saturday, was really good.

Staying locally for few nights . Welcoming and friendly staff . Pub food but perfectly cooked and presented with fresh ingredients . Will highly recommend . Thank you.

Great pub lots of ale selections and nice outdoor space

Great pub overlooking the park. Good choice of beer, although I thought the Beaverton was way too expensive.. food was good, large portions as well.

This is what a pub is meant to be. The welcome we received was awesome, and we even had the dog with us. The food was amazing and great value. There's not much more to say proper great pub!!

A bit quiet hence only 3* for atmosphere. Shame What pub don't show it does food, as food is very nice ! Good service!

A lovely pub, great staff and fabulous beers

We only had drinks here so it is not fair to rate the food. It is a fun pub at a historic location facing a famous bowls ground. We took the drinks to watch people playing in a balmy sunlit evening. So it was nice indeed.

Nice venue for a leaving drink 😊

Found this gem entirely by accident when walking through the park on a hot afternoon. Lovely beer garden, very friendly staff and great food

Popped in to rehydrate after a walk around the three parks in Leamington and liked it so much we came back for our evening meal. Great staff, great beer and great food. If/when we return to Leamington I expect we will return.

Great pub with regular live music! 👍

Great pub and good beer garden.

Nice pub located opposite the bowling greens, decent selection of real ales. Has a great beer garden with TV screen.

Leamington Spa is one of those special places combining style with shopisication and the cricketers is no different from it's slight demure extireia to it's multi cultural clintel and it's busling atmosphere to the nice small smoking courtyard this place has a real nice vide great on a match day the staff are friendly and efficient and if your are that way inclinde there is the world class outdoor bowls greens right opposite. Just watch out for the coffin dodgers lol enjoy.

Good local pub. Not a great range of beers eg Belgian and other. Could do with bar snacks not just crisps etc. Huge TV screens everywhere don't help conversation for people that don't like that game where people kick a ball over there. Not sure why they do that

We had a lovely evening playing dominoes and drinking lots of gin in this pub, the vibe was really friendly we are all over 60 one being a 90yr old we all felt really comfortable, it would be great if the pub updated all of their games, there was lots to choose from but most of the parts were missing, dominoes was the only game that had enough pieces for us to play, we would definitely go back 😀

Proper pub, proper grub, proper hub.

Love this pub it’s welcoming local and the foods great my husband always recommends the pies !! Thanks for being such a lovely local pub

Fantastic Sunday roast, very friendly staff great atmosphere 👌

Had roast beef Sunday lunch. Excellent!

We have just had one of the best Sunday roasts in Warwickshire here. My wife had the lamb and I had the beef. Absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately we only have pictures of empty plates of the pudding as it was so nice 😆

Great food, great staff - really helpful. Be sure to reserve a table for food.

Super contemporary British soundtrack combined with a traditional vibe.

Great Old Fashioneds despite being an old fashioned old man's pub!

Very dog friendly which helps being so close to Victoria park. Bar staff are really friendly and inviting. Good selection of drinks, ales in particular. We had a chicken and bacon salad and BBq ribs. Food was great, will absolutely be returning and having the ribs again!

Unbelievable food. Best burger I’ve ever had. Good sized portions, value for money is top notch.

Lovely atmosphere friendly staff, very accommodating and polite. Great little gem of a local public house..great choice of beverages and the menu is very good.

Tucked away in one of Leamington's quieter side streets & adjacent the town's world renowned bowling greens, this excellent pub has a great selection of beers & great food at reasonable prices. Also has a well appointed beer garden out the back with a few infrared heaters on those colder evenings. A really nice place & well worth a visit. 👍

Really friendly local pub that serves good food, is very dog friendly and has great ales. Also shows sport but in a very family-friendly / subdued way. Great pub!

Lovely Timmy Taylor, and held our table for us whilst we nipped out gor food when the kitchen was closed. Top boozer.

Dropped in for a couple of pints in this nice well kept pub. Enjoyed our visit here definitely recommend.

This is a delightful pub, recommended to me by a friend, and my extended family all enjoyed themselves. It is located opposite a gorgeous park, which my little girl adored, and there is loads of street parking. The Sunday lunches were particularly delicious - I think there was at least six different vegetables accompanying the roast and Yorkshire puddings. The gravy was driving and rich. The lamb, which I had, was flavoursome and tender. I would definitely come back for a Sunday lunch! I would, however, say that the desserts really did not live up to the quality of the main course, but that did bother me too much as the main course was huge.

Great pub great food and lovely staff

Nice pub, on the back streets of Leamington, overlooking the Bowls club, good quality food served, and 3 ales on at the time of my visit, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly staff.

Fantastic Burger meal. It may initially look expensive for a Burger. But you get a full meal presentation. Great Burger, well dressed salad & Chips on a large plate. So the high price is justified.

Always a great place to meet friends and have a few drinks. Relaxed, inviting and a great atmosphere.

Decent Sunday roast and has Sky Sports

Great pub, lovely food and a friendly atmosphere

A great welcome,good service and lovely meal! Will be visiting again!

Great local pub and really good food

Nice pub. Sunday roast not as good as I remember. Decor not as pub-ish as I feel it ought be, but hey that's just me. Decent range of beers and friendly staff.

Always loved this pub, great location, good food, lovely ambiance too... Would of been 5*, but, cask ale was off, 1 out of 3 was good though, Tim Taylor, nice! Won't stop us popping in though, see you real soon...

Proper boozer next to Victoria Park. Good selection of beers. Food served.

Nice atmosphere, family and dog friendly . Try the Timothy Taylor pale ale washed down with some ham egg and chips . The wife had the Club Sandwich but she couldnt get through it but gave it a proper sporting try .

The ham in the ham egg and chips was described as butcher's thick cut. In reality it was standard processed supermarket stuff. Very disappointing.

Friendly pub environment with friendly staff.

Hadn't been in, in years and really friendly, great pint and food

Nice place, good vibe and excellent Tim Taylor Landlord..

A proper pub pleasant atmosphere.

Friendly staff, recommend the ploughman's sharer!

Excellent little pub would highly recommend

My brother in law treated me to a Sunday roast, and ow my everything he told me about this place was correct. Food is beautiful presented, excellent portion sizes. Taste, texture, quality is all top shelf. Very reasonably priced. 5 stars and every star well deserved, would give more if I could.

Great little pub with a good selection of beers and other drinks. Sit outside overlooking the bowling greens and the sunshine, if you can!

Great pub, great location. Staff can't do enough for you. Get there for the commonwealth games bowls. Right on the greens

Great place to visit, meet friends and have fun 5 💥

Great pub, nice staff and good vibe. Shame the neck oil ran out.

Great local good food and beers, lovely beer garden. Live music Saturday nights.

We had the place to ourselves at lunchtime today (early doors) and were welcomed, service was good, and drinks were great. A lovely little pub that we always make our way to when we get the train to Leamington

Was recommended this pub by the hotel, we had a lovely lunch there before we met family, we went back at night for dinner as too tired to go elsewhere, we was not disappointed in the food, the meat platter was Devine, staff attentive and the chef was very friendly, recommended this place highly

Food was out of this world. Sunday lunch for 5 plus well behaved dog. We had meat and veggie options and all were stunning. Staff lovely and very helpful. Would highly recommend.

Very slow service, staff was not helpful and did not treat our table well. Food took an hour to get here and was not worth it. I do not recommend.

A lovely pub with lots of character and really nice people. The bar staff are cool too 😎

We enjoyed the Meat Sharers option

Unspoilt friendly local pub with good beer and food. Handy for Victoria Park.

Excellent service and food was so on point.. definitely worth a visit. The roast I had was to die for and the gravy is a game changer, Vegi converter..

This is where you come to watch football it would seem on three large screens!

Looked forward to nice cooked pub meal but that menu finished. Not a good menu now. Had lovely beer served by delightful bar man then had to move on to find a meal. Diappointing.

Great service, lovely atmosphere.

I had visited this pub quite a few years ago and wanted to take my husband. Chris the barman was very welcoming and asked us what music we liked and played several songs for my husband on his birthday which made us feel special. Recently been refurbished, we will visit again.
