Had a birthday dinner on Saturday evening, staff were very attentive the menu selection was tremendous the food was actually Michelin star quality I haven’t had such a beautiful meal in a very long time. Thoroughly recommend The Cricketers even the chef came out to ask us how we’d enjoyed the food and our experience, perfect for a local meal.
Fantastic food and fantastic service! We went on a Wednesday lunch which although I felt it had a fairly small menu all the food was top quality. I loved this rather than more options creating quantity over quality and there is another menu outside of the lunch hours, so I look forward to trying that in the future too. We didn't find it hard at all to make a choice as all the food sounded delicious and was something for everyone. Definitely would return!
We had a lovely Sunday roast lunch with giant Yorkshire puddings! Friendly service and lovely pub. Dog friendly bar too.
We had to pay £5 deposit per head for making a table reservation (which gets taken off the bill).
Lots of parking and great outdoor space too.
What can I say. Had a table booked for my wife and me but she was not well so turned up on my own. I had a Lamb roast which was one of the best and I took a takeaway back for my wife. I’ll tell you that the service was as good if not better than I have anywhere else.
Thank you for the superb meal and sensational service
Ps
I’ll bring the plate back during the week 😀
The only comment about the food is that the menu for vegetarians/vegans is a little bit narrow and not very imaginative. Otherwise, the quality was great and it was really good value for money. The venue is very pleasant and has a fair sized car park and WiFi. Staff were great and the server had a sense of humour that we appreciated.
Lovely high quality food good selection of beers,ales Lovely friendly staff reasonable price. Will definitely visit again
Stopped here for lunch mid-ride on my bicycle. Pint of Jake the Snake and a serving of the Chicken and Pesto Pasta renewed energy levels perfectly. Friendly staff, fast service and was even able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Waitress even offered to refill my water bottle before continuing en route. Think I might lunch whilst out for a cycle for often!
I had a great experience when I stopped here for dinner. The staff were friendly and efficient, and I was able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. The waitress even offered to refill my water bottle before I continued my journey. I might now make it a habit to have lunch whilst out on a cycle ride. The roast was decent, the staff were friendly and efficient, and the decor was nice. I was especially impressed by the music they were playing outside while everyone sat there in the sun - they really created a great atmosphere!
Dare I say 10/10! Found by chance between Ingatestone and my route to Writtle, charming front and rear gardened country pub like they used to be, with great and friendly bar staff and waitresses, offering great selection of lunch options that were 4/4 dishes excellent also £20 two courses price! Steak & caramelised onion sandwich with the chunkiest of tasty chips, slow roast pork with crushed potato, green and jus’ and to follow best brownie I ever tried (I never eat any chocolate cake or variant usually) matched to a sexy fruit crumble and custard, not the ordinary by any means!
Keep up the good work guys and prices to match, we’ll definitely be back and highly recommend!
