   My wife had previously been with some friends and was very impressed on all fronts. As a consequence we met friends at The Cricketers for lunch. We sat in the window in the Library as requested when we booked. So a splendid location, great views over the green, very attentive but certainly not intrusive staff and a seriously good lunch. We choose Cumberland Sausage and mash (x2), fish and chips and a cheese & ham toasted sandwich with all the trimmings. The sausage and mash was my wife’s recommendation from her previous visit and most definitely lived up to expectations - the onion gravy, of which there was plenty, made the dish. In all it was served with a selection of well-cooked seasonal vegetables - six different ones! The fish and chips was equally well received and our friend who, not being overly hungry, opted for the toasted sandwich described it as the ‘best’ she had had! Desserts did not disappoint either. The caramelised sugar topping to the creme brûlée was fantastic, the sticky toffee pudding was very tasty and light with plenty of sauce (I would have preferred an extra scoop of ice cream but that was down to me for not asking!!!) The banoffee pie was very well received. Our less hungry friend opted for a floater coffee rather than a dessert and was exceptionally pleased to find it came topped with real cream rather than the ‘squirts’ kind. All in all a very special experience and one which we will very soon repeat.

   Friendly staff and the food was good, expensive but as expected for the area. Very noisy inside, sat right by the staffs little huddle spot and had a hand full of forks thrown into a tray every so often which made a horrendous noise. Chairs also uncomfortable but not terrible.

   Service was shocking. One starter did not arrive. When enquired where it was told that it had been cancelled. Main meals arrived and the food was good and as per what was ordered. When the food was placed on table ordered another drink. We had all finished our food and requested bill before the drink arrived. When our table was cleared we was not offered a dessert menu. The manager was going round the tables trying to get customers to buy more drinks. Shame we did not get ours. I believe a wait of over 20 minutes for a drink is unreasonable. When the bill arrived the starter that we did not receive/cancelled was on the bill.

   The Cricketers Inn is a lovely venue, both to eat inside or outside. The standard of food is superb and portion sizes very good. The service from David and the team is spot on and every one was pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend.
