The Cricketers Inn Restaurant in Gravesham

Helpful staff, clean easy parking looking forward to going back.

Best place to go if youre visiting the farm near by for apple picking or if youre looking for an amazing pub. The vibes are great, staff is friendly and the food is amazing

Had the most amazing 3 course meal after a day at Brands Hatch Bsb , every member of staff were very professional & attentive , will certainly come back again

Nice food, good fresh pint of courage best. Attentive service.

Lovely 😍 pub so friendly love the Germany 🇩🇪 beer and hot dogs 🌭 defo be back try other food

We visited Oktoberfest and it was really good fun. Great atmophere with great music.

Wow what an evening. Great service food was very good and service was excellent.

Lovely quirky and a huge and delicious Sunday roast

Highly recommended. Lovely Sunday afternoon experience. The Big Mixed Roast was no lie. Absolutely chuffed.

Good food at a reasonable price. Service excellent and friendly. Have been a number of times and never been disappointed. Once again an excellent Sunday roast.

Great roast, really friendly service and brilliant value for money

My partner and I visited today at lunchtime and had a fantastic experience. The service was top-notch, with the staff being attentive, friendly, and welcoming. We ordered the chicken and ham toasted sandwich, and it exceeded our expectations. The ham was real, the chicken was tender and delicious, and the fresh salad was abundant. Being used to London-sized sandwiches, we could barely manage to finish it! The portions were generous, and the overall atmosphere of the pub made it a great place for a relaxed meal. We'll definitely be coming back!

Food was really good and customer service was excellent.

I've heard good things about this pub. The food was fine but way too overpriced - we had fish and chips and pie and mash. A pint of coke was extortionate knowing it was the syrup plus soda kind. Service was good but I will not go back as the value for money as well as the quality of the food was below average.

Nice pub. Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Great Sunday Lunch, hot and served with a smile. Well worth a visit. Friendly staff and the manager checked that all was ok and had a nice chat with us.

Lovely lunch. Wonderful service. Will be back 🙂

Drinks a little on the pricy side, but great pub, food looked good, but we did not eat. Wide choice of drinks. If you are passing through, worth popping in.

Oh dear ! The Rissoto was rice pudding and was still charged £17.95... if you can't get the basics right ! Another case of a pub that thinks its a resturant and charging Michelin star prices.

Have not visited here for many years. Nice decor and clean. Great service, attentive but not on your face. Took our choice from the menu of the day. Unfortunately , my first choice was not available, hence my mark down. However, my fish and chips were well cooked and plentiful. Good parking on site, a few more people in the restaurant would have helped the atmosphere .

Arriving late in the afternoon without a reservation, we were seated outside as all indoor tables were taken. The outdoor seating was clean and well-prepared, with blankets provided to keep us warm on a breezy day, which was a nice touch. Given that we were outside, the restaurant asked us to either pay as we went or leave a credit card behind the bar. While this might reflect the cautious times we live in, we were happy to oblige. We both ordered drinks and a chicken roast dinner. The first round of drinks arrived promptly, but the dinner itself took a while to be served. When our meal finally arrived, we requested a second drink, but it was forgotten and only delivered after a reminder. The staff, however, were delightful and courteous throughout. The roast dinner was huge and beautifully cooked, and they kindly wrapped up what I couldn’t finish for me to take home for the cat. After settling the bill, we were about to drive away when we noticed a sign asking if we had given our car registration to a waiter. Realising we hadn’t, hadn’t know it was a requirement! We had to park again and go back inside to provide it. This was a bit of an inconvenience and could have been easily avoided if the staff had asked about our car when taking our order, especially as they were already asking for our credit card.

If I could give ten stars for food and service I would! The pub was busy but service was incredibly good and fast. The food was incredibly good. Plenty of choice on a Sunday and not just roasts. Landlord was present and so hospitable. Elysia served us and and brilliant - no idea why we’ve never been before but will be back in a heartbeat! Thank you so great food, amazing service and a lovely atmosphere for lunch ❤️

My husband and I have popped in here a few times for lunch on Saturdays and always had a good meal (steak ciabatta and the ham, egg & chips always delicious) so we thought we would try it out for Sunday lunch with the family. We were glad we booked as it was busy! We were promptly greeted and shown to our table, the staff were friendly and just the right amount of attentive. Everyone had a roast dinner and they were all delicious, in particular the beef. Lovely meal, we will definitely be back!

Amazing experience and food,total improvement from a few years ago before David took it over,our second time coming in 2 weeks, very highly recommended 👍

We stopped off at this pub while passing on our way home. It has a lovely outdoor decking area where we were able to enjoy our lunch. My partner had the gnocchi which he thoroughly enjoyed and I ordered the nachos. I made an error on my part by not checking the allergens on my dish and unfortunately when it arrived I realised I was unable to eat it. The manager was extremely accommodating and understanding and adapted the meal without hesitation so I was able to enjoy it. We were really happy with the service and the food.

We had a very nice lunch outside on the patio. First class.

Rather overpriced Sunday roast, but was good. It’s the Sunday menu has few other non roast options.

Very pleasant surroundings but much too expensive. Spent £38 just on drinks.- 3 and a half pints of lager. 1 half shandy, diet coke, rum and coke and coffee. Won't be going back.

Food is great, staff are very helpful. Particularly concerning allergies. I will always eat here when I'm in the area.

We had a great meal at the cricketers inn - we were really impressed. We had the roast chicken wrap main & nacho starter (which was big!), both of which were very good. The manager himself came around all the tables, which was a nice touch. All in all, highly recommended

Lovely pub in a nice village. First off the place looks beautiful Chose to sit outside blankets provided on the chairs if needed (Nice touch) We was asked if we was running a tab and if so to give them a card to hold behind the bar .....thought this was a little odd and I'm not sure if it was only because we was two guys that turned up on bikes or maybe it's their policy. Both had non alcoholic beers Guinness 0 spot on . Moretti 0 was in my mates words rough as boots. Had some hummus and bread which was lovely. Both opted for the pie of the day beef . Very nice indeed I would of happily had another slice. It was served with mash and vegetables and all of it was delicious. Our waitress was pleasant and chatty but still attentive a real credit to your pub .

My wife and friends had lunch here today and we will definitely be returning , the food, service and overall afternoon was very enjoyable. The staff were very polite and helpful, We would like most certainly recommend this pub.

Was disappointed that we arrived at 5:30 booked table we ordered a starter before football started which was fine . Come half time of football which was before 9pm and no food. Kitchen closed at 8 pm which we wasn’t told about and only could offer crisp or peanuts from behind bar . Other customers also wanted food. Very disappointed

The place was not really busy but it was the evening of the semi final football game and not many people watched it in the pub. The food was nice, we had pie. The staff has been friendly and came often to ask whether we want anything else.

Great food. Good for large family group. Pleasant, efficient staff. Lovely period room, log fire.

Wonderful choice on menu. Food always well cooked and delicious. Good portion sizes. Friendly and professional staff. Relaxed, clean, cosy and comfortable atmosphere.

First of all it was very cold in the pub, not exactly the warmest day when we visited yesterday. I had to ask twice for a door directly behind us to be shut which it was, then left open by other staff members - very uncomfortably cold in your pub. Tacky pop music greeting you as you enter - why is there a need for any music at all? First course of humous and bread - bread very hard and stale tasting, humous very garlicky. Main meal steak pie fine but doesn't really merit the hefty price tag as with the other dishes, on a parity with London, except not in London. People coming up to the table asking if we enjoyed the meal. Why? Are you not sure of your products? Do you not think people want privacy when they are eating? Embarrassing to be asked when you have a mouthful of food.

There are no options for both a vegan and gluten free dish unless you count a side of chips or side of steamed broccoli. Everything that was vegan contained gluten. I expect better, at least one dish I could have ordered safely for myself. I ended up getting the vegan burger, which I guessed had the least amount of gluten in the dish, and it was both expensive and lackluster. I would not eat here again.

Very overpriced wine and food We had a lite bit which was extremely lite on content calamari and rocked salad The calamari was in small pieces not what you’d expect !!! Well never visit again

Went here with my daughter and grandchildren, absolutely beautiful, the service was brilliant, food was amazing. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Would definitely recommend this pub, and we will use it again.

Nice enough. Not sure why they've ramped up their prices so much... the food isn't as good as it was a few years ago. Not sure I'd be back in a hurry unless it was just for drinks.

Great location and amazing food!

Enjoyed our Sunday lunch at the cricketers inn.excellent food, friendly and efficient staff and service.I would recommend it

Stopped off for lunch. The service and food were good.

Had a lovely lunch catching up with good friends.... Couldn't have been better x

This is a great pub. Excellent well served food. Best pub for food in the area.

We booked for a triple 60th birthday celebration and upon invitation I did mention this when booking. I didn’t expect champagne and roses but to have the “any special requests?” completely ignored was poor. The food was generally good, although the calamari started was poor, but the service whilst polite was exceptionally slow. We sat down at 7:45 and main course didn’t arrive until after 9 pm. We did chase and apologies were given but as one of our party didn’t have a started they were pretty hungry when their main course eventually arrived. We have eaten at the Cricketers before and had better food and service. I will now think twice before recommending to friends again. Left feeling rather deflated and a little sad. .

I had fish & chips.. was nice, and a shandy.. Staff helpfull Nothing was too much trouble..

Great service, booked a large party for my daughter inlaws baby shower. Cricketers were so helpful and kept me informed. Food and service was excellent. Helped to make the afternoon a special occasion

The lady running the bar is incredibly rude. We said we were in for drinks and wouldn’t be that long. She said we could sit at an unmade table near the bar. We sat down and a little while later she tells us we can’t sit there we have got a table of 5 booked now. I said for what time and she said 1.30. I pointed out it was 12.15 and we would be gone shortly and she relented . This is the fourth time this has happened to us by her and the South African gentlemen. It seems they are only interested in people that are eating. We had a table booked with family for later this month. This will now be cancelled. Avoid

The food was delicious, big hearty meals. The setting is lovely in cobham, and it's a lovely pub. Unfortunately, we felt we was an inconvenience to the lady who served us our food. Maybe she had lots on her mind, 🤔 other things she needed to do, but even when we paid the bill,it felt that she just wasn't interested. I'd still go there again, as the food was really nice.

Disappointing food which is very pricey. We were asked if everything was OK, but when we mentioned something that we weren't happy with it didn't go down that well. Won't return

Nice pub , decent pub food but VERY expensive drinks . And they throw in a hidden service charge on the bill .

The food here is so nice. A little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for!

Friendly local pub with a good selection of pub grub, including vegan fish and chips which went down well with the vegans on our table. Quite pricey at £40 per head though, with drinks.

Lovely food, friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere.

Good level of parking at the restaurant with good access. We were greeted by good atmosphere as soon as we walked in. There was a nice clean feel when looking around and was sat down to our table quickly, we did book ahead as it was a Saturday night but there was still enough seating available. There was lots of seating indoors as well as outdoors. Food portions were good and tasted nice, it looked like the menu had been updated and printed daily which was different to what I had seen before. Overall nice experience and wasn’t a bad price for the two of us having three courses. I would highly recommend the chilli nachos as starter!

Nice pub , friendly staff . Had three basic pub meals ( fish and chips etc ) which were nicely cooked and presented . A bit of a shock when recieving the bill though as along with one dessert , 2 pints of lager and a glass of wine came to over £90 . Drink prices are ridiculous.

Food was ok. Manager doesn’t really get customer service it’s fair to say. Better local pubs around where you get far better value for money and service.

I treated my friend to a birthday meal today ( Ive just got home ) Our food was superb. My burger was ont of the ebst Ive ever had and my friend really enjoyed her roast beef dinner. Dessert was devine, apple cinnamon cake nd two scoops ice cream. Brilliant customer service. We will be back. xxxxx

There is nothing special about The Cricketers. I had the scotch egg followed by fish and chips. The scotch egg was nearly £10 and obviously, a factory made dish. The fish looked nice until you cut into it and found it was very wet, indicating it was cooked from deep frozen, so also factory prepared. This pub is not cheap so I was expecting it better for the money. Add the expensive house wine and the 10% service charge it would be advisable to spend your money elsewhere.

Over priced wine and food several complains re food staff very pleasant would not return until they drop their prices for both food and definitely wine House wine £23 a bottle a joke

Absolutely appalled at being asked to vacate from our table after our mains had just arrived and desert hadn’t been served yet… Wasn’t told the table was only allocated for two hours which is fine.. but the food took an hour snd 15mins to be served after being ordered, desert hadn’t arrived before the manager was asking us all finish as he had other guests waiting.. Absolutely shocked by how the manager dealt with the situation… A very upset family… very unfortunate

Lovely home cooked meal, fantastic food, lovely atmosphere would def recommend

Food and service was good and friendly.

Lovely food and lots of it Great service

Just had the most amazing experience at The Cricketers Inn for Mother’s Day. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful service, food and atmosphere. It was a perfect family meal.

Really nice place great food . The nachos starter is huge.

Visited as part of a group. We had booked but were squashed in on a long bench with no leg room. We had "spicy" vegetable soup which was absolutely tasteless, at £7.50 a bowl it was a complete waste of money.

The food was excellent, traditional English food. Lisa was extremely helpful and welcoming. Best pub food around this area, we will be coming back

Lovely food, atmosphere and service.

Couldn't get a table at the White Hart Sevenoaks so thought we would try this out....big mistake! Just poor service all round topped off by a manager that just doesn't get customer service. Avoid. Much better service and food in Brunning & Price pubs.

Couldn’t love this place any more if we tried! The building is lovely… the staff and food are outstanding.

Most important - large car park, food is award standard, it's a nice place to be. Staff attentive, just found out it has just won best gastro pub in Southern England

Dined here with two other couples to catch up. Superb food, and attentive staff. Thank you so much. Lisa FOH is excellent and a real credit. Made us feel very welcome.

Nice quaint little country pup in Meopham

Excellent roast, service was great and overall a good Sunday

Fantastic pub.... beautiful atmosphere, amazing food, brilliant service, really lovely attentive, friendly staff....vegan fish and chips a must....stand out home cooked food....very impressive overall...will be back for sure and highly recommend!!!

Beautiful environment with warming log fires throughout a real old fashioned feel. Staff ok but had to work at conversation. Breakfast nicely presented, excellent poached eggs. Bacon rock hard, bent my fork. Would have preferred less bread and a second sausage. £10 95 for breakfast. Just under £30 for two persons Inc a coffee each

Beautiful pub, filled with beautiful people and outstanding food 😋 😍

Amazing Christmas lunch. We had a lovely work party here. The food was so good and we had a great time. I would defs return for a meal again

Good Quality Food great menu friendly staff lovely setting.

Visited with family for boxing day and was fantastic. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was amazing and service excellent. Cannot wait to book again for next year! Thank you

Nice food,Didn't expect to wait nearly an hour for mains then ages for desserts

Fantastic pub ! Great service lovely food. I live in Spain and every time I come back to the UK I always return.

Good food service and atmosphere

Food good , but omg I had to send two pints of real ale back, (different beers) both were off , second pont came up.with a head bigger than mine , clearly someone is not looking after them , I settled for a lager , rounded off the meal with a JD and dash of coke well the JD was drowned out with the amount of LEMONADE not coke as ordered, yes I was disappointed seems your staff are young and inexperienced,

We came here on Christmas day 2023 , a group of 13 people. We were greeted with a very warm welcome , we were never rushed , the food was first class , the atmosphere perfect , thank you for making our day special x

Great ambience and superb service

Only popped in for a drink, but fantastic welcome and service.

I think the bill was wrong .. and I neglected to check it, but it was really high for what we had . But the 4 stars should of been 5 stars if it wasn't for the bill. Reflects on the food, services and atmosphere . Country, winter festive, warm , and cosy all spring to mind

Fabulous Sunday roast and attentive staff.

Had a lovely l lunch today. Being local we use this pub regularly. It was the best meal I have had at the Cricketers for years. Service was good too.

Went for birthday celebrations. Staff very attentive and polite. The food was amazing. The lamb just fell off the bone and their Christmas turkey burger was fab, highly recommend.

Always a fabulous welcome from the charismatic landlord, the staff are smartly dressed, very courteous and provide top quality service. This is my go-to restaurant if I want good food and a nice time without the fear of being ket down or disappointed. Oh, and the have a dog friendly area too!

A super Sunday Lunch with the family. Staff were welcoming and the lunch was good, in fact most people left something. Plenty of meat and a good selection of veg

Great Sunday roast, service was excellent. The place was packed so it was a little noisy, but nothing to fault.

amazing spot, amazing food. super helpful staff! Kerry was so helpful finding us a table on a busy sunday!

Have been going here for years. Have never had a bad meal. Like that they accommodate well behaved doggies as well!
