The Cricketers Arms in Mole Valley

The pub was celebrating it's 2nd birthday with the present owners and it was an amazing day. They really made everyone feel welcone and laid on a hog roast and a band. It was busy all day. Lots of laughing and smiley faces. Well done Kerry and Alan

The Cricketers Arms is a very nice looking pub, old world, with a patio at the front and side with plenty of seating. It was a nice welcome, obviously a really sociable pub and I had a quick look over the menu, which looked decent. I've been there a couple of times mid week now and sorry to say, both times the cask beer was past it's best and not very enjoyable. This is a shame as they have some local beers on and they're clearly trying but it's obviously just not turning over quickly enough. I suspect most of the beer is sold at the weekends when more people are coming for meals, then if not many of the week day regulars are ale drinkers, it just isn't selling. There's no point trying to sell beer on a Wednesday or Thursday that's been sat there since the previous weekend, it's gonna be horrible. It's really three days max on cask beer. Maybe cutting down from three ales to two at the weekend and just the most popular one during the week, could keep turnover/quality a bit tighter?!

It was promoted as Shrove Tuesday pancakes. I’m not a big fan of pancakes per se, but I came along any way to support #shonaskitchen who was delivering tonight’s delicacies. I’m not big on sweet things these days, so ordered the savoury ham, mushroom and cheese galette with salad garnish and tomato relish. WOW, what a delight…. Tasty 🤤

If you like an old basic unspoiled pub, then this could be for you. Full of locals and their dogs, with a huge woodburner fire in an inglenook. Plain but wholesome fare, with a nod to an old patron, the late actor Oliver Reed, who once climbed up the open chimney to esconce himself in the hidden priest hole.

Yet another great meal prepared by Alan. Our resident Head chef and landdlord Hes got it right. A very good 🐠.. This pubs slowly starting to get noticed by people as the only one to visit when in Ockley Oliver Reeds old local. Pay it a visit you won't be disappointed..

Wonderful pub! This is genuinely the friendliest pub I’ve ever been in. As soon as we walked in we felt welcome and as if we were old friends. Lovely landlords and a lovely, friendly atmosphere. Can’t recommend it enough.

I've been going to the Cricketers arms for YEARS. Food always good, particularly the specials. Staff always friendly and helpful. Lovely Garden to sit in on sunny days. Can't wait till it's re opened and we can return.

Welcoming landlord, well kept Ringwood Razor Back, characterful interior with low beams and has a beer garden at the side. Food a bit disappointing and pricey.

We have been visiting this pub for years but not recentlyGiven the usual home-made food and good beer we came for a necessarily quick lunchWe were told after 10 mins that it would be another 10-15 minute as they were doing a fresh lot of roast potatoesAfter 35 minutes a mediocre meal appeared and if the potatoes were freshI'd like to see the restThe meals were adequate but not for the time taken and there were only 4 other meals before us

After a friendly welcome...we ordered drinks and food. The food was lovely - hot and fresh...perfect. It's not cheap...but you get good quality food for your money. The wooden beams can be low...so mind your head. :)

Don't go!! Arrived 6.30p.m OPENING TIME place in complete darkness. Thought it was closed but we had wait for our friends to arrive. Then the pub landlady arrived at 6.50p.m running from the car park. We then followed her into the main bar where the wonderful log fire "as advertised" had gone out. As the pub was so cold rather than order drinks we suggested that it would be best to re-light the fire as this was the only form of heating. It appeared that everything was too much trouble. The beer and food is best not to say anything about it. The two steaks ordered were not edible and were sent back. The evening did not improve and we could not wait to leave.

To start tempora prawns and chicken liver pate. Both were freshly prepared and plentiful. We chose Roast beef to follow and we were very pleased when it at arrived to see lots of perfectly cooked beef, a huge crispy Yorkshire pudding ,five beautifully cooked vegetables and crunchy roast potatoes. Not to mention lots of gravy.We took a break before ordering banana soufflé light as a feather and lush for my husband and deconstructed winter berry crumble with baked custard.. heavenly. The service was attentive but not intrusive.I have never written a review before but the meal was soon good I just had to.

Great food and friendly welcoming hosts. Charming little pub. With a great selection on the menu. Has a good vegetarian selection too!

Fuimos a tomar una cerveza con un amigo en un viernes por la noche sólo hace un par de semanas. Mortal, un grupo tranquilo dentro de 4 habitantes. Servicio amable, pero sólo un amargo en la bomba, que disponible era regular y sabía un poco como fue acercando al vender por fecha. Lo peor era que todo el lugar apestaba completamente de grasa chip antiguo así como nuestra ropa después. Terminamos nuestra cerveza y pasaron rápidamente. . . .

Éramos un grupo de seis personas (tres parejas) buscando un lugar conveniente para el almuerzo, ya que todos estábamos llegando desde diferentes direcciones. Decidimos quedarnos en el Cricketers y nos quedamos muy contentos con nuestra elección. Es un pequeño pub país y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos por los propietarios. El menú es bastante amplio para un pequeño pub y todas las comidas eran excelentes. La comida estaba muy bien presentada y servida muy caliente. Tuvimos una gran variedad de platos incluyendo pierna de cordero, salchichas y puré, mezclado grill, gambas y todo el mundo estaba encantado con su elección. Para beber teníamos el vino y la cerveza que eran muy aceptable y a un precio muy razonable. La cerveza que teníamos era de un local de afeitar amargo era realmente muy bueno. El ambiente era muy agradable y el personal era muy atento. Nos dimos cuenta de que era un gran fuego que debe ser muy acogedor en los meses de invierno. En general, una experiencia muy agradable y todos estamos de acuerdo en que conocer allí el futuro. Dispone de un amplio aparcamiento en la parte trasera del Pub.

El temido dúo se aventuró un poco de frío para el país y de paz. Este pub es el lugar para que en el invierno. Una chimenea y a un par de lugareños. Quien debe obedecer tenía la sobresaliente con huevo piña y setas, recién preparado y según el plato vacío, creo que debe haber disfrutado! ! Tuve la patata chaqueta con gambas y ensalada, que era muy agradable. Hemos visitado este pup en varias ocasiones y siempre me sentí bienvenido. Si visita en verano hay un jardín de cerveza al lado que es bastante popular, pero en febrero con el clima un poco, no, no! ! El pub en sí tiene vigas antiguas y un montón de latón, un fuego y gente simpática. ¿Quién puede pedir más.

Mi pareja y yo visitamos recientemente para la cena. Al ser un martes, no estábamos sorprendidos de encontrarnos el único diners durante aproximadamente 30 minutos.La calidad y el tamaño de las comidas nos sirvieron refleja los precios que cobran.Mientras que no nos decepcionó, es improbable que corriendo, sin embargo, estoy seguro de que podría adaptarse la factura en una fría noche otoñales.

Good food, lovely atmosphere and splendid service! - Host was very welcoming and here we found the olde worlde country inn we were looking for in Surrey

Great place to eat, choice or roasts and well served with good fresh vegetables. Delightful well kept garden. We all really thought it was excellent.

the beer choice is poor and the food is not as good as it used to be and we were disappointed on our last visit. Our clothes smelt of cooking when we left.

The beer here is fairly average and not much choice. The food is reasonably priced and good but if you only want a drink you could come out smelling greasy!

The car needed a run so my wife and I decided to have lunch out one Monday we ended up in Ockley so pulled into the cricketers What a surprise only a tiny pub but cosy I chose the ham/egg and bubble of squeak my wife had the burger and chips Well cooked Very good portions and at just over £13 which included drinks VERY good value for a mid week treat.

If I had been eating here 30 years ago, this would have been considered an early gastropub.It certainly makes a big deal of where the meat is sourced from, but the world has moved on, particularly when restaurants like Cote are 15 minutes away in Dorking.I only had a main course, steak. It was £20, but it was not good value. I ordered medium rare, and got medium, but I'm not going to waste the meat and send it back.Irrespective of that, the meat was slightly tough and chewy, and for a £20 steak, that is just not good enough anymore. Cote will do a great steak on a specialearly bird menu for £12, and it cuts like butter, and is seasoned perfectly, when this one wasn't seasoned at all.It's not the only pub around Surrey that I've eaten in offering the same kind of food. The reality is that it's perfectly okay, but because the world has moved on, it's not very good value for money anymore.Lastly our waitress was grumpy, and had to be reminded on more than one occasion for our drinks order, and extra ice.Without wanting to damn this with faint praise, it's perfectly okay, but nothing more.

I had the sausage pie off the specials board and really enjoyed it. The chips and presentation of the food let it down a bit. It looked l like canteen food, which was a real shame as the pie was excellent. My drink was crisp and nicely kept as well. Staff were friendly and we had fun playing bar billiards after dinner. It was a bit quiet but we had a good night and would recommend it. Good value too.

This is smallish pub with about eight tables, some more comfortable to eat at than others, and bags of character (read low ceilings and brass tat). There's also a small garden. Food was simple but very good and well executed. Which is how pub food should be.

If you're looking for a quiet pub, this is the one. Not bad really but perhaps slightly lifeless... Been only once and wasn't very impressed.

My parents and my family meet here for lunch on Sundays regularly. The landlord is always extremely welcoming and the landlady (who does the cooking) never disappoints us with the food. Always a hearty meal and always prepared to make me vegetarian gravy unlike other more expensive, more well-known venues.Extremely good value for money and house red excellent.

Stopped for lunch, friendly welcome, good choice of food. The meal was good and reasonably priced. Chose Ringwood over the Marstons, tasty pint

Good roast after walk in area. Friendly host, villagey feel to pub, good value. Went home feeling well fed.

We enjoyed our first visit to this pub and will return. Excellent home cooked sunday roast.It has a lovely garden and fish pond.
