We booked for 26 people for a leaving party and I have to say everyone enjoyed their meals! Service was absolutely fantastic all meals came out at the same time, everything was cooked to how we asked, one of our party had been to Marco Pierre Whites restaurant in London the week before and she said her steak at The Cricketts was better than that!! The GF cod & chips went down a treat for another of our party. The prices were really affordable as well, we went on the steak night ( wed) 2for £14 well worth it. Thoroughly recommend The Cricketts, we did and will definitely be going again. Well done to all staff and Thankyou Chelsea for helping me sort all the orders out ☺️☺️
Just wanted to say that we had a really lovely meal here today. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Will recommend anyone to visit

I hadn't been in here for so long (about 20 years at least) I wasn't sure what to expect.... I wasn't disappointed.
The outside of the pub was more or less as I remember it with a massive field that could do with a trim. Maybe some charging pods would be a smart idea?
On entry the pub was clean and welcoming, and we got greeted very nicely on entry - with a smile and hello.
The drink selection was great and served as should be if I could have written the spec. The menu though is (physically) large (oversized) which is a little bit old hat, but does hint at gastro pub.... Until you laminate it and make it feel like a canteen menu. Small thing but better to leave things none laminated so that guests can experience the texture of the paper if thats the feeling you're aiming for.
The food was hot fresh and tasty all round, with only small niggles. The pastry on the pie was overbaked, the peppercorn sauce way too thick with entirely too many peppercorns running through it. However overall, really delicious for all 4 of us.
The till needs sorting out so that the bills are either itemised or not - when it came it looked really dodgy with multiple button presses and none related descriptors.
Overall a really pleasant experience with lovely attentive service and good quality food and drink. Just a couple of tips to make it a perfect experience. A great choice after all these years - and if this is what I can expect, we will be back.
Honestly, a really lovely pub. The menu is top notch with very good vegetarian options. There is something for everyone. I had the Halloumi Bites and the Fish & Chips, I added peppercorn sauce. The food came out quickly, was very very tasty and very reasonably priced. This really is a local gem. Fantastic. Thank you for the amazing food and even better service. This pub is dog friendly. Come see for yourself :)
Just had an excellent meal to celebrate my wife’s birthday. First visit this year but will definitely go again. Good menu, great food and very attentive staff. It’s a shame there wasn’t a fire in the large, feature (empty) fireplace in the main dining room.
We planned a large surprise birthday meal here in September 23. The pub communicated throughout the planning and we’re very accommodating. We had the garden room area to ourselves which was great especially as we had children in the party. Food was very good, desserts even better!
The staff were friendly and very accommodating to our requests and needs. Definitely recommend a visit.
Good food, great service, nice seating outside.
Very nice place
We actually looked for a coffee.
The selection here is great!
That was a surprise 😁
Great food and amazing staff!
New management knows how to make pub warm and welcoming. First time here but definitely will come back!
Lovely place for food, with period dining area, full bar and barista station for coffees and hot drinks. Beer garden is nice for mild weather, plenty of parking on site.
Fantastic meal at the cricketers inn near neatherseal. The rib eye steak was cooked perfectly. Recommend a ride out to try. The festive menu is below. Under new management who are looking forward to seeing you. Book online
We've driven past this pub wanting to go in for the past year, we finally did yesterday and it didn't disappoint!
We shared the nacho and mezze platter sharers, along with the halloumi starter and a side of chips. Can't fault any of it, it all tasted amazing. We're veggie and the options for veggies and vegans are really good, especially compared to big corporate restaurants!
100% recommend, we'll be back for more (the Sunday lunch is definitely calling our names)!
