The Cricketers Arms in Chichester

This is an excellent, traditional, down-to-earth pub - as it was and should be. Very down to earth; nothing poncy. No hooray Henrys. We didn't eat, so can't comment on that, but well worth a trip. Long may it thrive :-)

Visited one evening last week. Sat outside in the sunshine and enjoyed some good ale and a house special beef burger which was well prepared and tasty. I have visited this pub a number of times over the years, In winter it has a great file and is welcoming.

Typical English pub in the very best sense. Great beer ( but Prosecco on the side....). Very friendly service and two delicious burgers, one beef and one version. Highly recommend.

Excellent lunch time menu with good friendly service. My steak sandwich was very good value and nicely presented. My friends smoked haddock dish was good also but the portion size looked a bit small considering the ingredients were relatively inexpensive.

Met friends here for lunch, we had never been before. We found a parking place right outside. This is a real county pub and has a nice atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Menus are on boards and are standard pub fare, with standard pub prices. We had the scotch egg, spring rolls and scampi to start, they had run out of asparagus. We then had ham egg n chips and haddock for our mains. All good, good service if a little slow, good pint of Harveys beer and a nice wine selection. They also had an open fire that was quite Smokey and our clothes really smelt of smoke! Worth a visit if you have not been

I often meet friends for lunch at the Cricketers Arms, Wisborough Green. we always get a warm friendly welcome and the lunch menu is excellent. there is a lovely atmosphere and the staff are top banana!!!!

What a great location right opposite the cricket green in a quintessential English village. I should have realised when it was empty that something was amiss. The prawn salad was okay, the roast beef was dreadful hardly able to cut it as really tough. The puddings were something else, the peach melba eton mess was just a mess. 1 sliced peach on top of a plate ful of over whipped cream with a couple of tiny shards of meringue. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

We came for fathers day, we were slightly early but the waitress was ever so accommodating. Our waitress was very polite and helpful. The menu and pricing was amazing and the food tasted incredable! Service, waiting time, food absolutely perfect well done team!

Went for anniversary meal, I had the steak with mushrooms it was delicious, my husband had the fish Dahl which was fresh and tasty. Covid restrictions in place which means sauces in packets. Great selection of drinks. Very good service and tasty pub food.

One of our group waited 45 minutes for her dinner and we had all finished. Food itself was unimaginative and served without any finesse or trimmings. Hardly anything green in sight. Ordered children's icecreams for pudding and was surprised at the miniscule portions served in a small coffee cup without any additions. Would have stretched to pay £2 for these, they cost £6 each. Vastly overpriced. Went with our 81 year old mum having been reassured that there was a space heater only to be told it was broken. We ended up wrapping her in as many coats and jumpers we could find. Really not worth the money....or the wait.

Bland food, no taste....just dont bother...looks as if its come straight out of the micro wave oven....not worth the money...very disappointing....will never go back.

Ordered Cod, chips and peas £13. the best part was the peas, batter fish was all batter, small and I am sure it was Coley not Cod, the small portion of cheap frozen chips were a dark brown, horrible. I dont think i have ever had a meal this bad. I just dont know how they could even consider serving this low quality food level. I would have refused it but I was in a group,

We’d book a mid week table for lunch and all had mains and desserts. We all really enjoyed the mains - burger, fish, and steak - cooked well, tasted delicious and well presented. The puddings were just ok but still nice. We sat out in the garden which was a lovely setting. Service was very good. Would recommend.

The food was extremely disappointing! It looked like something from 1976 . Not a single healthy dish on the menu . Preparation and presentation were unbelievably poor . Sausage and mash swimming in watery gravy with a side dish of awful looking vegetables. And 2 half microwaved jacket potatoes with beans and cheese with a soggy piece of lettuce . The chips that were served with a bacon sandwich were dry and overcooked . The chef was outside the pub smoking . Not a good look . In this market you would think thAt a huge effort would be made to draw the customers in. I can honestly say that was the worst meal I have had in a pub .

We’ve just eaten here and the food was really poor-didn’t look great and tasted awful (really basic) Staff friendly and helpful......... I think the owner of the establishment could do with some intervention from Gordon Ramsey

We had a group lunch here, which was well cooked and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful,

A stop with my husband and father in law from Gatwick airport for lunch while on our winter holiday. After being on a plane all night, the opportunity to enjoy the traditional pub atmosphere, friendly service, and hearty comfort food (pie and chips, breakfast special, toastie) was a welcome first meal in the UK.

Popped into this lovely old pub as pricing work in the area, nice old fires a real country pub with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, the food was excellent and was lovely presented Will definitely be back for Sunday Linch

Fabulous, we arrived on a busy friday evening. We hadn't booked and were seated and talked through our menu, ensuring we had gluten free and dairy free options. 10/10 would go again.

We went here for lunch after The Spitfire Experience. The setting is lovely, by the quintessential English village green and cricket pitch. The food was great. I had the best liver and bacon I have ever eaten.

A non-chain village pub serving good food. We went lunchtime and there were a variety of snacks and main meals. Everything from a burger to a tagliatelle. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere.

I was sitting at the bar in this large, nicely unspoilt pub, when I noticed something unusual on a nearby horizontal overhead beam. Eventually I realised it was what had once been an assortment of postage stamps from a variety of countries, affixed to the beam in a random way, and covered over with a coat or coats of varnish, in the method known as decoupage. Sadly, the designs of most of the stamps could no longer be seen, just their shape, but a few were still visible. This was a decorative feature that I had never seen in a pub before, although a few pubs have displays of banknotes that their customers have brought back from overseas or sent back from abroad.I like the Cricketers Arms for its unspoilt character and the way that its various areas flow into each other, so that you get glimpses of them all as you sit at the bar. It was good to find it open in the afternoon. Its location, set well back from the main road, overlooking the green, makes sitting at outside tables very pleasant. (No cricket was being played on the green today!)I did not eat, so I cannot comment on the food. The barmaid was very pleasant and friendly. The music, from a radio station, was not too loud.

We went on a day where there was a function, but decided to wait because we were told food would be served half an hour later. Very disappointing. We both had burgers one meat, one halloumi. The meat burger had a piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato in the bun, the halloumi burger had nothing. There were a few warm chips but no garnish which basically made the meal look uninteresting. I could quite easily have prepared better at home. I accept there was a function, however looking at previous reviews I would suggest the kitchen couldn't cope but we still paid the regular price for a boring un-inspiring meal.

Nice lunch before going to the Spitfire experience near by. Good food , reasonable priced, friendly staff

I'm surprised there are not more good reviews for this pub. My husband and I always meet with my aunt and uncle here. We always receive friendly service from all staff, great food and amazing desserts. The roast dinners are a good size and the recent steak and mushroom pie was a proper home made pie rather than meat in a bowl with a crusty topping! The environment is cosy without feeling crammed in and it's in a really nice location. What more do you need from a local pub?

Had a delicious Fathers' Day lunch today. We all had the roast which could not have been cooked any better and served nice and hot. Plenty of freshly carved meat with a good selection of vegetables. The staff were friendly and very efficient. Reasonable price for a lovely lunch. Would certainly recommend.

Visited lunchtime Sunday and found full menu available. Had excellent prawn sandwich and superb homemade salmon fishcakes. Well kept Doombar and very good service. Place a bit old-fashioned, could do with a brush-up but in lovely position overlooking cricket green

What a friendly pub! Nice welcome and even helpful on where to find nearest petrol station which we found. Will return...

Stopped here prior to Spitfire Experience nearby. Warm welcome and good service. Lovely location opposite village green. Delicious sandwiches eaten on picnic benches out the front. There was also plenty of room inside. Parking along the road.

Friday night soul band, the pub was rocking, lovely to sit outside too and watch the cricket on the green. The food was great, not a drizzle or a trendy slate instead of a plate. Reasonably priced and a great atmosphere.

We visited here after doing the fantastic Spitfire Experience just up the road. Had a really tasty lunch and the menu was really extensive and there was a specials board too. We’d booked a table (you can get a 10% discount on food if you’ve done the Spitfire Experience) and received a warm welcome and enjoyed friendly service throughout.

We had booked as we thought it might get busy and, although we arrived a bit early, our table was ready. We had roast lamb and roast beef which came with all the trimmings. A good, honest roast lunch - thoroughly recommended.

Staff are very friendly make you feel very welcome, food was excellent, I have been back a few times now always good.

This venue has an excellent atmosphere, and a good selection of beers. All in all, a pleasant place for an evening drink.

We had a celebrationary meal here following the spitfire experiance which was excellent ! .We were pleased we chose the cricketers arms .The staff very friendly , everyone really enjoyed their meals. I had the fish pancake which was really delicious. Certainly would recommend. We also enjoyed a 10 % discount as spitfire experiance customers.

Just enjoyed a family lunch at The Cricketers. Very good indeed. Food, welcome, beer and service couldn’t possibly have been better. We all enjoyed enormously. Only a shame we couldn’t stay longer.

We went on a cold Saturday evening. Pub was nice and cosy, but I’m not sure I initially felt a really warm welcome. However, food was very tasty, service was good and prices were competitive.

We have been to the cricketers on three occasions in the last couple of months and each time was brilliant....the food was home cooked and delicious....the staff were very helpful and attentive without being intrusive....all in all a great place. Will definitely be back!

We visited this pub today and really liked the The buzzy atmosphere. Staff were welcoming, warm and attentive. I had roast pork which was delicious -I often feel A bit disappointed after eating a roast dinner in the pub but this was great, perfectly cooked and everything was very tasty. My husband had the sausages which came with bubble & squeak and he was very pleased with his too. We will definitely be going back to this pub for another meal.

We had passed this pub on a previous trip and had wanted to return as it looked the quintessential English pub - charming on the outside in a corner of the English countryside opposite the green - sunshining and what looked like good food on offer.

Friends took us for breakfast on Sunday. Well, it was a big breakfast, delicious sausages and the thickest and tastiest bacon I’ve ever had. Loads of toast. Free coffee and tea refills. Black pudding, mushrooms, hash browns and baked beans. All for £10. A smaller portion for £8. I would highly recommend

Decided to give the Cricketers a try after driving by this attractive location just of the village green with outside seating at the front.

A nice, welcoming family pub, with a varied menu and good portions. Sensible prices and no pretentions at being a “gastro pub” or a lah-di-dah eating experience- we have far too many of those in South-East England! Recommended!

Visited here while on holiday in the area, good food, well priced, helpful and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Never been to this pub before but have passed it many times. Needed to meet some friends with some access issues. Could not have been more helpful when we booked a table for lunch.

Another great meal here - stopped on a scorching day for a meal and a pint, and it could not have been better. Such a full menu, with many specials adding to a huge menu anyway. Had the Tuna Fishcakes, and they were a lovely homemade and gorgeous meal. It's always a great place too.

We stopped here on the way to Gatwick for an evening meal. The menu is excellent and my daughter says it is the best menu for a celliac (gluten free) she has ever seen. We had burgers, fish and chips and my daughter had a Mexican type platter from the gluten free menu. All the food was really good with a good sized portion. The staff were really friendly and helpful although the food did take a while to arrive - I'm guessing it must all be freshly cooked hence the wait. Prices were good especially considering the location. Would definitely recommend and will be using again when I'm next on way to Gatwick

Visited at lunchtime, staff were very friendly. We ordered sandwiches which at £8,00 we assumed would be made with thick slices of freshly cut bread generous tasty filling, far from it. When our order eventually arrived the bread was thinly sliced from a packet, the filling was measly with a tiny side salad and no crisps or chips. I make better sandwiches at home! The side order of chips were cold. It was really disappointing as we were expecting a real treat. Left feeling that we had been completely ripped off.

What a lovely welcome from very happy staff. Ordered a roast beef sandwich @£8 it was quite expensive. The oddest mixture arrived. A roast beef sandwich with unfortunately a lot of fat attached. 2 roast potatoes, some cold pasta and a pot of coleslaw and also a jug of gravy!! Was the chef using up leftovers? Weird but hilarious. Lovely pub but food?

We were driving through and saw this lovely looking local pub opposite the village green, so decided to stop for some lunch in the sunshine.

I've always liked the Cricketers and have been going there on and off for years. I decided with a friend to have lunch there today, and must admit to have left feeling somewhat let down!!

Although the dining area seating is limited The Cricks is well worth a visit. There's a good selection of real ales and the food was delicious. An unpretentious village pub with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere obviously enjoyed by the many local people who were in when we were there.

A traditional country in traditional village. Good menu, Bar snacks or other dishes. Pleasant efficient service. Would recommend.

Quick bite to eat by a lovely roaring fire. Great food , big portions, friendly service and made to feel very welcome. Ordered a steak sandwich plus the cricks special open sandwich with chunky chips, really really good.

Took our grandson here today for lunch who is coeliac. We have eaten here several times before but particularly chose the pub today due to its gluten free choice. He had a variety of mains and desserts to choose from which was a refreshing change, he really enjoyed the Tagliatelle Carbonara followed by Pecan Pie and Custard. Both my husband and I also enjoyed our meals as well. Well done Cricketers!!!

Excellent lunch after visiting the Spitfire Experience nearby. Great service and great tasty food. Nice atmosphere and a charming bar

We have always enjoyed the Cricketers, an honest village pub with a friendly feel, welcoming staff and dog friendly. Popped in for lunch but felt that the food has become rather average. My wife had a very reasonable mushroom soup, but this was let down by rather uninspiring sliced bread (when such a great selection of fresh bake breads are be available). I had fish & chips with mushy peas... disappointingly this turned out to be ‘tail end of fish in batter’, the piece of the fish fillet where all of the ‘depth’ of the fillet has been lost and the remaining thin slice was literally a quarter of the depth of the surrounding batter. Cheap ingredients let down what promised to be a very nice lunch. Personal bug bear.... ketchup in individual sachets... in these days of non recyclable waste, this is terrible, particularly when the tartar sauce was delivered in a small ramekin.

Returned for a proper Sunday lunch - not at all disappointed. Service friendly and quick - succulent roast beef in generous portions - and a request for a smaller portion was met sympathetically, and charged accordingly. All in all great value for money as well as warm and welcoming on a cold Sunday lunchtime. Thank you

We happened to pop in for lunch but unfortunately they were only serving a reduced menu due to them having a large gathering in the afternoon (a wake) we did however decide to stay and sample the cuisine, thank goodness we did! It’s a long time since I’ve had a beef and mushroom suet pudding with chips and gravy, my choice on the chips.

I love a locals pub, this was no acception. This is not a food review.

Visited this public house as part of a party of six people (four adults and two young teenagers). We all ate a variety of dishes all of which were well cooked. Although the food did take a while to arrive given the atmosphere in the public house and the number of us ordering this was not a problem. It was obvious that the food was freshly cooked and not microwaved. The portions were generious so be warned if you are not very hungry. As some of us had visited here before we were all forewarned and managed to clear our plates but had no room to try any of the sweet dishes afterwards.

Always friendly, always warm and the food is great and well priced. The Sunday Roasts are a family favorite but book first as some Sundays it's really really busy. Website is revamped and you can BOOK ONLINE now and they always get back to you!

Tables had not been set up as requested, no smoked salmon for meals that were preordered. Service was appalling, my father waited 5 minutes for his vegetables. It was over 30 minutes to get all main courses out. We were repeatedly told the children's ice cream was on it's was but after 30+ minutes they then said we needed to choose flavours so another 15 minutes wait!!!!! Then to top it off they never even came to take the adult dessert orders. The food was actually good but marred by the appalling service.

We stopped here on a sunny Saturday afternoon for a beer. Good selection. Weren't planning to eat but having seen the menu we decided to tuck in. Fish finger sandwich was great, lovely crispy batter and the scotch egg was great with a beer. We sat watching the cricket on the green in the blazing sun and it was lovely. A lovely little gem of a pub.

Four of us visited the pub for lunch,pub wasn't very busy,after ordering the food it took some thirty minutes for it to arrive,the sausage and bubble and squeak was drowned in gravy would have been nice with just a gravy boat with gravy.all the four meals had far to much onion.I could continue but I won't,after the wait and average food decided not to have a desert.Not one member of staff asked if everything was o.k.

La atención fue muy buena. Las opciones de menú eran leídos. No esperar mucho tiempo para nuestras comidas. Todos fueron a s estándar muy alto. No dudaría en regresar.

Un gran pub village, siempre me encanta venir aquí. La comida excelente. Decepcionó tener pan estándar en rodajas con una excelente plato de sopa cuando hay tantas opciones de panes cob y pastas disponibles estos días. . Pan rústico. sería un mucho mejor acompañamiento para su excelente sopa.

Domingo 11 de junio de 2017 - Almuerzo reservado mesa de un par de días antes para nosotros y amigos con nosotros. Bienvenida a la llegada y en la tabla que se muestra a los pedidos de servicio amable y sirve llevado sin demora. Toda la carne de vacuno y de cordero recién preparado, generoso para repetir y hortalizas adecuadamente preparado (no exageradas y blanda! ). Entorno de pueblo verde es pintoresco. Gracias por restablecer la creencia en terratenientes preocupados por sus clientes!

The pub was not the most modern or the most quaint, however, it had a nice atmosphere and I felt welcomed. The food was traditional and mostly British in choice. It was well cooked and well proportioned in size. I treated my pself to ham, egg and chips and I have to say the ham was delicious and had obviously been carved off the bone. If you are looking to spend no more than £15 on a main then The Cricketers is not a bad place to go.

Back in 2014 we did a cycle event and the pub gave of themselves and their facilities as a feed station, but with little reward. So we started making a special effort to get down to Wisborough Green and the Cricketers - for lunch after a local cycle, and for evening meals when we want something different. Did the same cycle event this year and again the pub provided a much needed feed stop. Thanks again, and we'll be back as usual driving down from Guildford to grab a bit of the Cricketers atmosphere 3 or 4 times a year. Thanks

We have frequented this pub a couple of times in the summer as it's opposite the cricket green and it's lovely inside. We had noticed it was popular so decided to have lunch there. My daughter had a child's portion of roast beef which was more than adequate. Cooked lovely, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and mixed seasonal vegetables carrots, swede, cabbage and mashed potatoes (my choice). I had lamb shank in redcurrant jus gravy which was exquisite and my husband had sausage bubble and squeak which he said was very nice. For dessert I had Nutella brioche bread and butter pudding and my husband had treacle tart and custard. Washed down with a couple of drinks, very pleasant and good service, £56 with tip.

We went to TheCricketers Arms with our daughter and3 children, aged from 9 to 15 years. The children's menu was very sparse and although they advertised spaghetti with melted parmesan cheese it was actually pasta pieces and the cheese was very strongly flavoured.- perhaps too heavy for a childrens' meal - luckily there was garlic bread with it.It was Sunday evening but even so to have run out of crumble and custard and creme brulee reduced the dessert menu considerably. I must add they made the children very welcome and in the picture you can see the tables are well away from the bar.

We had gone for a walk in the surrounding area and fancied a nice pub lunch. With the option of the 3 Crowns or the Cricketers in Wisborough Green, we opted for the latter. The pub itself is charming with a nice log fire and a warm welcome. The food however was not up to scratch. We both chose the burgers (chicken & veggie) and for £11.50 each you would expected more than just a basic burger, a bit of lettuce and chips. Yes, there is plenty of it but it is not very inspiring and we both walked away disappointed. A nice pub for a pint after a long walk but the food did not match the atmosphere.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Imagine its better in summer watching sports on the green. Typical pub grub

We had a very pleasant evening in the Cricketers, Food was tasty, home made and hot. Good Tomato soup and my Pork belly well cooked and tasty.Service was quick polite and prompt, which lets face it it, is often the thing that makes a first impression. Prices are reasonable compared to other places to eat in the village and offer very fair value for money.The down sides, well there are always some. The seating is always a little cramped, its a small pub I know! But we were by a door and it was just a little "busy" when staff were serving. The other grip if you can call it that, is you have to go to the bar to get your drinks, small thing, but you are away from the table and your guests for longer than comfortable if the bar is busy. An important improvement suggestion would be that waiting staff proactively offer to serve drink at the table, so you get to spend time sitting down with your guests and meal. They may do this? but in our case no one offered.That said I would definitely use The Cricketers again, for all the above stated good points.

Yet another great evening last night in The Cricketers Arms. From prawn cocktails, homemade pate, tornadoes steak cooked to perfection, succulent lamb shank and desserts to die for, wonderful food. And to top all live music too. Love this pub!

I've visited three times over the last few months but simply for a drink so am unable to comment on the food. It's a pleasant little pub on the village green and on my last visit the open fire was lit.On my first visit no smile nor welcome from staff. I thought the lady behind the bar was having an "off" day but, no, it's been the same each time. How nice it would be to feel welcomed on arrival by staff as well as the warm interior and lovely open fire.

Had dinner here with my grandsons it was great.Children enjoyed their very big portions as did the adults.The food was very tasty.Lovely atmosphere, staff were great & so was the fire.A lovely evening enjoyed by all in our party.

We had lunch yesterday at this lovely pub. The food was great as was the service. The atmosphere was very friendly and the fire was very welcoming. We shall be back

We arrived just before they stopped serving food. All the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. I had the Cricks burger and it was the best burger I've ever had, it came with bacon and egg - really full of flavour. A really nice traditional pub set overlooking the village green. We'll be back!

Lovely meal, great service. Would recommend highly! Beautiful old country Pub, lovely surroundings. Had a lovely burger with bacon, requested no egg and was no problem. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Look forward to next visit.

Passing on the way home crosscountry we needed a lunch break. Luckily we found this charming pub. The atmosphere and service was spot on. The food great and good sized portions. We started with Whitebait and Avocadoe and Stilton, both delicious. The my wife had fish and chips ,the chips were crisp and good portion. I had liver and bacon , good helping and well cooked.Pity we live far away but wish it was nearby, we love it as our local.

This is a lovely old, characterful, country pub, that has great menu and beautifully cooked fresh food. The service was lovely and friendly, and flexible ('you want custard and ice cream, of course!'). It sits in a perfect setting on the beautiful Wisborough Green, but set back from the main road, so sitting outside is also a joy.

Very good roast lamb and roast vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Service not too long. Didn't have a sweet as too full! Their steak and kidney pies are very good but if you want one it is better to ring and ask if they are on the menu as they go pretty quickly. My husband is very fond of meat pies and he rates them A1.

Avondeten start om 18:30 niet eerder. Bediening is aller aardigst. Eten is fantastisch. We hebben rib-eye gegeten met pepersaus met er bovenop gebakken uien op een bedje van hele champions en friet en vooraf brood met kaas en oliesaus ( leek wat op pizzabrood) was heerlijk. Aanrader!!

This visit turned out to be a poor day. Not a very extensive or interesting menu, and as my wife has a lactose intolerance there were three items on the already small choice of menu that she could not eat. What we eventually had was good but it took too long to arrive considering that the place was almost empty.We will be back because it wasn't awful but on this occasion it seemed to be on another downward spiral, hopefully it will pick up again.

Had a lovely lunch all very fresh and homemade The friendly staff made all the difference. Shall be returning asap

Had a lovely meal here, Lobster Thermidor, Rib Eye Steak, many choices! Will be going again! Service good too! Had a great evening.

Brilliant service with friendly atmosphere. Food was lovely and very reasonably priced, good choice on menu.

Visited here after a disappointing experience down the road. Had Sunday roast of beef, proper roasted potatoes and amazing gravy. All for good price and served by friendly hard working staff. Highly recommended

The best ale in the world is served here: Harvey's. Good quality food at very reasonable prices. Friendly bar staff. Best pub in the area.

Arrived at 6:15, they didnt start serving till 6:30 and we got our meal at about 7:15 but it was worth waiting for. i had duck which wa cooked just right, very slightly pink in the middle. the plaice was a bit mediocre but the veg were really good, (roast parsnips mmmmm).if you sit on the benches outside in the front in the early evening yu get full sun and can watch the cricket. Nice friendly pub, sometimes has live music.

A lovely friendly pub. Great, fresh homemade food. Kids menu had a good selection too. Staff very helpful and friendly. Great value for money.

Lovely time at the cricketers, great atmosphere.Potsy, the barmaid, was brilliant- service with a smile as always, welcoming, friendly and a picture of fabulous health.

Welcomed by the land lady, we had booked, very frendly. Staff were attentive and genuinely frendly. Food: I ordered a 'small' salad to start- the staff said it was large - we shared - where else would the let you know a dish may be too large - great. We had the plaice with crushed potates with a lemon and prawn butter - very nicely cooked as was my steak. The cricketers is traditional style 'watering hole' in a very pleasent area.

Great pub, fabulous location and a very warm welcome. Nice beer selection and decent pub grub. Keep pubs open - use them !

Nice little pub on the green with friendly staff. Good menu but food lacking in finish. Fish not filleted, burger and chips just dropped on a plate. All tasted good but let down by the lack of effort in presentation.

What a shame, this place is placed on a perfect village green, it has a nice old building and extremely friendly staff but something needs to be done about the kitchen. I have eaten here before and, although not overwhelmed by the food, thought it okay. Looking back at my last review I'm afraid things seemed to have slipped. We were late arriving after a long dog walk, and greeted with a friendly landlady who informed us we could order food if quick. Now maybe we were victims of the last service but the food was appalling. My friends bubble and squeak was totally inedible (to be fair it was taken off our bill). What they thought they were doing serving such dreadful food, it was off vegetables which were almost fermenting. My "bruschetta" was actually sliced white bread toasted with a pile of tomatoes on top, some stringy asparagus and a poorly cooked poached egg. I ate it all as I was starving but with hindsight should've sent it back along with the bubble and squeak. I'm afraid I will not be giving this pub another chance, it was that bad.

An evening with friends, food was really good, served hot with lots of veg and good service. If anything the tables are a little cramped when busy, but that would not put me off and to be really picky tables could be laid better along with water and glasses. This would then have got 5 stars from me.
