Booked a table for 7pm expecting it to be very busy due to its reputation , but it was very quiet with only a few gentlemen in following the close of play at cricket. However this didnt detract from the great service, good beer and wonderful food we received. The staff were smart and attentive. On the bar were a selection of Evan Evans beers, all good quality. The food was beautifully cooked and nicely presented. The pastry on my beetroot, onion and goats cheese tart was amazingly light and crispy. Great pub, good beer, magnificent food
Honestly could not recommend the cricketers enough. We enquired with the cricketers to hold a family meal after our registry office wedding and it could not have gone better. Sophy and her team are so personable and really did everything they could to make the day really special. I’m so thankful to them all for going above and beyond not just for hosting us but for every extra detail included. The room looked perfect when we got there and the food was superb - to the point that all family members want to book in again. I can’t thank so Sophy and the team enough for being so laid back and and taking care of everything. It couldn’t have gone any better. It’s always been our favourite pub but now it holds a place in our hearts forever.
Really friendly staff, good beer, great food (and in particular, spectacular chips!) and dog friendly, with water and treats. The fish and chips was particularly good but so was the pie and burger apparently! We will definitely be returning!
We booked (in the week) for a meal for 5 people. They took our order then said there was a wedding and food would be 1 and a half hours. Had they told us when we arrived (at 2.30) we would have ordered earlier. They offered a free round of drinks. We had to move on for food as one of our party has diabetes and needs to eat at certain times. Very disappointed as have always had good service and good food.
Went for Sunday lunch, lovely food, very well cooked and presented. Staff who served us were very friendly. Recommended that you book in advance as it gets quite busy. Sunday set menu was also reasonably priced. Would recommend and would return.
Fabulous food, it was the first time I ate at The Cricketers, we were in a large group and all food came out at the same time. Brilliant atmosphere, very chilled out and laid back.
Our first night in Cardiff was made even more lovely by the dinner we shared at The Cricketers. Wonderful service, great traditional fare (must try the Welsh Rarebit), big portions, and the food came out hot and delicious. A must stop for anyone visiting Cardiff or for locals - who seemed to be numerous and always a good sign - alike.
Great place and very inviting! I was looking for a great meal and realized that I had to take it instead. They were very accommodating and the meal was fantastic! Highly recommend them for beers and food.
Great food and amazing service. If you're after a welcoming vibe, good beer and delicious food all at great prices then give this place ago.
Called in for light lunch. Excellent food from a very innovative menu.. This is not bought in run of the mill pub food. Chef knows what he is doing
