The Cricket Inn

I was kindly invited to try their Pie Tuesday (Pie & Half a pint for £13) and it was lovely. We were warmly welcomed and showed to our table in the beautiful dining area which had subtle autumnal décor and felt cosy. The food we enjoyed was beautiful and well worth the 40 minutes drive for us. The Pie menu is concise offering a meat, fish or vegetable pie each coming with potatoes, and half a pint of a Thornbridge beer. There is a small selection of vegetables you can add at an extra cost also. The full menu is still available Tuesdays, but we just decided to go all in and stick to the pies. We enjoyed; Beef Shin & Potato Thornbridge Ale Pie with roast potatoes – proper chunks of juicy beef, a rich casing of pastry and lots of gravy. The roasties were crispy too – a really good dish and filling as it is. Fisherman’s Pie with salmon, haddock, tuna, monkfish, cod, cheddar mash & buttered greens – so many chunks of tasty fish, the mash was gorgeous and smooth and the greens were paired well with the dish so it wasn’t too rich. Halves of Jaipur – one of our favourites Thornbridge beers. Side of Roast Mushrooms & Carrots – a nice addition and my only feedback is that we thought for one carrot and one flat cap mushroom, the price didn’t reflect the side dish well compared to how generously priced the deal was. Everything we ate was delicious and it was clear that quality ingredients were used and that the food is made with passion here. The selection of pie flavours is fairly limited. Understandably the chef wants to focus on the quality of deliverance by keeping this concise, however I hope the flavour selection expands over time should Pie Tuesdays be a hit, which we feel it will! A great meal and evening here.

Beautiful meal, tasty and elaborated pub food. The place is cozy and the service was lovely. We will come back for sure.

This is a pub to stop by if in the area. We had a family meal out which was good. The main feature here is the cricket field, particularly nice when the weather is good. The only advice from me here is to book your table in advance! No photos of the outside area this time as we were sitting inside, which is equally pleasant. Will come back!

We did not eat there but the place was very clean and the open fire was lovely. Very ckean toilets and it also had disabled access. Lovely views from the back. 👍

A really nice restaurant bar but mainly restaurant, friendly efficient staff, very busy for Sunday lunch , beef was extremely tough, i only heard later from a local man that this seems to be the way re beef of late in Yorkshire unfortunately, Great choices from menu and all good , the cricket inn is located in picturesque surroundings, well worth a visit, although regardless of how wealthy you might be, it would be nice to see prices on menu etc re before ordering, food prices not on menu or advertised anywhere, I did see a menu with some prices advertised on line but old , but all in all a nice place to visit,
