  “Popped in a few times over the summer for drinks and always had a lovely time. Even at busy times such as the football or before the cricket the service has always been good. Charles in particular was great on a recent visit - served us well, made us some great cocktails and kept us up to date with Happy Hour offers and recommendations!”

  “Come here semi regularly and the atmosphere and staff are always a vibe. Bit removed from town but the drinks and food make it worth it. Used to be an Aussie guy behind bar always making it welcoming but think he’s disappeared”

  “Used to be a lot better before it became a chain and they ruined the interior decor & stripped the soul out of the place. but croeso pubs are still reasonably cheap and they show the sport, really good if you want a place to drink on a match day/ before the cricket. In the spirit of a balanced review, If you see me in this pub voluntarily, assume I am having some sort of personal crisis.”

  “Wenr here for a Sunday lunch, service is excellent but the meals were awful. The roasties were rock hard the chicken was very disappointing and the gravy very lumpy. So sad as last time it was really good.”

  “Stopped For A Quick Bite To Eat (don’t usually eat at pubs but was staying in Airbnb next door) The Chicken Skewers Were Delicious! Meat Was Tender and The Honey Was Nice Too! The Only Disappointment Was The Burger, Bun Was Too Dry and Clearly Not Fresh! Service Was Okay and Staff Were Friendly😄”

  “Lovely pub restaurant, the staff were friendly and efficient. We booked for Sunday lunch, the food was excellent, the roast beef was particularly tender and the portion sizes were generous. The side orders of veg were large enough for three. The pub is dog friendly and has a very pleasant atmosphere, perfect for a quiet Sunday lunch.”

  “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.”

  “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”

  “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.”
