The Cricketers Public House in Chelmsford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great pub as it has a function room for hire for special occasions. You can hire it for free if you are having a large number of people (think it's 30 plus but best to check with the owner). Large selection of ales, wine's etc. They also serve nice bar food/snacks. Friendly staff. Good place to pop in for a couple of pints.

I had a very good cheeseburger with chips and a couple of decent pints. The menu is short and to the point. Keeps it simple and does it well.

Staff and customers were very friendly and it was nice sitting outside

Amazing atmosphere. Enjoyed here while watching a cricket match on TV with lots of supporters around.

This was a beautiful pub where my partner and I enjoyed a lovely drink whilst catching the last of the spring sun one evening. Super lovely staff!! Can't wait to come back.

Proper pub in Chelmsford away from the modern High Street offerings.

Great pub with reasonably priced, superb quality food.

Always good food at good prices, great selection of beers. A friendly local pub where kids and dogs are welcome 👍

Attended a christening function here which my brother and partner paid for only to bet met with fairly rude bar staff. The children who attended with us were extremely well behaved and having fun, making very minimal noise however this was unacceptable and were told by the owner of the pub to be quiet. So he is happy to take your money with knowledge of kids attending but they must be quiet. Absolute idiot! Refused to apologise. It would seem dogs are made to feel more welcome than children. Approach the parents first not children!

Saturday night so was busy, but plenty of staff so service was quick and friendly. Dog friendly and had the football on in the back. Large outdoor area also. A premium lager on tap would personally be great, but if you like ales you're in a great place, so overall hard to knock!

Good local pub. Always friendly and shows all the live sport. Food is tasty and good value. Very good beer garden. Does three house casks beers (including two that are local) although the temperature of the beer could be colder

A good pub, with a couple of beers on the bar, unpretentious and homely.

Sunday roast was excellent.Colin the manager was a top man.

Great pub to visit. Dog friendly and super welcoming locals. Plenty of Gins on offer, but my favourite was the Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle with Mediterranean tonic. Very nice and refreshing and very went down far too easy.

Nice little boozer with some great real ales.

Good locals pub. Excellent selection of well kept beers. Food looked good although didn't eat there. Gets busy at the weekend so need to be early to get a seat.

Nice pup,reasonably priced beers,Friendly bar staff,nice smoking Area

Good food for midweek lunch. Kitchen Service was a bit slow.

Had a great evening here with all my friends good for soul night out x

Great soul music night 3rd Saturday of every month.

Good pub in the city of Chelmsford

A great pub for food and ales (other drinks are available 😉). Excellent staff and service. Gets busy at times which speaks for itself. But worth a visit anytime.

Good old fashioned pub with nice beer and friendly atmosphere

Great friendly local pub on a fantastic street.

Great cask ales, great selection of spirits plus fabulous service from the barman and the friendly punters. Will definitely come back if we're in the area and can thoroughly recommend it. They also do great food I am told although we'd set our hearts on a Chinese meal...next time!!

Friendly, decent sausage and onion lunchtime sandwich with nachos and pint of Skinners!

Won't be going back , babies and dogs in the bar TV very loud "Chaotic " .

Had my first pint of 'cask' ale here in 2000. Nice people. Great pool table. Authentic old-school boozer.

Nice friendly barmaid and great crickets themes and adnams ale.

Great pub! Many interesting characters.

Really good roast dinner. Good pub

It's got a pool table! Beer is fine and a good choice.

Popped in this pub on Jubilee weekend. The garden was quite spacious and served really nice, reasonably priced food. Halloumi sticks were great! Lived in Chelmo 16 years and not been in before, will be back! And the soul night is 18th June here.

Out with Colleagues for a works do, first one since pandemic.

My "work local" is always a reliable and consistent pub when you need one. Plenty of space to sit in a quiet corner or be in the midst of the other patrons.

We visited today with our year old granddaughter, Hungarian vizsla dog and son in law and we had the best time. Woody was fussed over and given a dog bowl which when tipped over(very large paws) was not a problem. The staff were so friendly and the food was amazing. We spent three hours amongst the friendliest staff and customers and we will be back. We are very lucky to have this terrific pub on our doorstep. The only place for a magnificent roast. The biggest Yorkshire filled with sausage and stuffing plus all the meat and vegetables including cauliflower cheese on the side. We loved it

We were intending to visit here as it had good reviews for ploughman's lunches. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it is permit parking all around, we weren't able to go in

Supersoul Saturday event so lots of people dancing and having a good time. Bar staff were really friendly and drinks at a good price.

House white wine tasted off. Charged £5 for a small glass of alternative wine. Would not recommend

Why advertise food on a Saturday when there’s none? Every table in the place needed wiping and chair seats torn and ripped. Not for us.

Outstanding choice of German beers on draught!

Nice friendly venue, an array of drinks reasonably priced, friendly management and staff

Very nice pub friendly place to relax and have a quiet conversation with friends and Very pleasant staff

Good food, reasonable price and a lovely outside area partially covered.

Always great time! Speedy service!

Good boozer worth more visits in the near future

Excellent service the only thing that lets this pub down it has no locks on the male toilet

Excellent soul night with a great friendly atmosphere and good beers.

Great little pub nice selection of beers and ales as well

Great Pub great staff and the ceaser salad was lovely

Great pub with a good selection of beers. Now with the new outside section it's a brilliant place.

Been to the cricketers a few times now always found it a friendly place, but today 4 people behind the bar not one said hello. We saw a sign to say you had to order by text so we did still no interaction with staff. Not sure what we’d of done if we hadn’t had a phone? Drinks came with just a thanks no interaction😢. We had one drink and then left and not one member of staff said goodbye. Let’s hope it goes back to hospitality industry when this is all over.x

Terrible drinks ordering system where you need to sms. 4 orders made.. 1 round arrived.

Being relatively new to the area, its good to find a pub which is in the heart of the community. And this pub definitely is. The drinks are wet, and just kidding. Very reasonably priced drinks and an amazing food menu to choose from. What else can I say, a great pub!

Best roast ! Service was impeccable and a lovely warm family pub. Wine was above and beyond what you would expect in a pub. Recommend!!!

Lovely pub great service really friendly staff and owners

Yes it's a nice civilised and quiet place to meet friends during the day. Haven't been there in the evening. They do food but it does seem very over priced for what you get and not good value for money. The homemade pies are the best value at £10 with chips and veg. They have a small selection of real ales which seem popular. Pleasant service.

Recently started serving food again following the Covid-19 lock down. They have introduced a Friday Pizza Night. OMG, brilliant pizza's and i'll even say they are better than most I have tried in the town center, but half the price here. Great atmosphere also considering the current climate. Will definitely make this a regular Friday night attendance, with a couple of draft beers too, obviously :-)

Good choice.Airy with space , nice stock of ales and products.

The food is amazing, clean with very good staff who go the extra mile. I recommend 100%

Great pub, good community feel, worth a visit

Went to a soul night here was a good night people were nice and friendly

Enjoyable games of losing at pool

Quite expensive but clean and friendly staff.

Great that they have Sky Sports and BT Sports, they have 3 screens too so they can always accommodate whatever match or sport you’re after. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere, beer, food and service. Not in Chelmsford full time but this is always a stop when we're here.

It's a pub that sells beer and food. Has a pool table, retro games machine, TV for sports. Great staff. Also has a small garden.

Great function room in the back.

Great beers and great food. A good place for a get together.

Popped in for a Sunday Lunch. Reasonably priced and quality. Service was good too. Will definitely be eating here again.

Nice beer, friendly staff, good atmosphere

Fantastic boozer, magnificent beers.

Nice place to sit outside the front and have a drink on a nice day

It's a cozy local pub within walking distance of the city centre.

Myself and 2 friends called in here before a t20 game between Essex and Somerset last week. Good selection of beers, many I've not heard of either. I had 2 different ones, very nice. I also had a nachos with cheese and my mates jacket pots. All enjoyed our time here and the staff were very nice and helpful too. We went here because after all we like cricket and this is called the cricketers. Would go there again when next in Chelmsford. Def worth a visit.

Great selection of ales and ciders. Being a big cider drinker I was happily surprised by the variety of proper cider they had. Nice big open area in the back for seating with is nice on a hot day.

Went for a wake after a funeral , food was really nice , helpful staff .

Had an amazing night. Meet some lovely people and great listening to some amazing music. Owner lovely and bar staff really friendly. Will be visiting again

Nice friendly pub, always got something going on.

Lovely traditional pub. Highly recommended.

Good Beer, pool tables and excellent pies!

Fine pub . Beer kept well. Good selection of local brews.

Great food and friendly staff. Very accommodating and good atmosphere.

a good selection of beers served by friendly staff

Good selection of craft beers, and hand made pork scratchings

Nice pub, only went in for a quick drink but would go again

Perfect place for a possibly fatal brawl. I was swarmed by a plethora of enraged males of whom provided me with a proper whacking. And no, do not worry. I enjoy the art of getting beaten up and consider myself quite the connoisseur. This establishment is ideal for my needs!

Average local pub with good selection of beers. Pleasant enough, nothing exceptional to warrant a regular visit

Had a great evening, 6 of us had different meals. All superbly presented and cooked to perfection. Julie, you did us proud. And yes, we'll be back. X

Great pub. Nice friendly attitude.

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere for a Saturday night

Private function. Food excellent but very noisy and mainly male clientele in pub

Visited on a lunchtime, my husband and myself, shared a bottle of wine, and ordered a brie and bacon bagette and a sausage and onion bagette, both were generously filled, hot, fresh and tasty, lovely staff, everything was fantastic

Great staff, beers on tap, food, and sport. Most importantly for us, happy for us be there with our young family. Most friendly pub in Chelmsford as far as we are concerned.

Top notch place, service, and food, well done

Best pub in Chelmsford for family n friends

Good pub. Nice wholesome pub grub. Good friendly staff. Family friendly. Show sports in 2 separate bars. Reasonably priced.

Recently revamped, cosy pub friendly staff, good choice of ales.

Yet another great meal here. Think I may have to come on a daily basis!!! The staff are so welcoming and friendly.

It was really good and the food was quality too, the atmosphere was great and the location was easy to find and get to.
