   Service was very good. Both myself and my wife had curries, me a chicken and she prawn. Food was tasty but could have been a little bit hotter (warmer). Otherwise very nice, would definitely recommend and come back.

   Sunday roast very good if a bit expensive. Service was slow but on a nice sunny day was not a problem. Kids meals was limited especially as some of the dishes were not available. In general it was a pleasant experience and we are likely to return.

   Waiting staff were inattentive and poorly trained… Our drinks got put down on the table with their hands around the mouth of the class The food is expensive and we were charged for a condiment

   A lovely airy barn type room, lots of light. Food was very good - pizzas excellent. Service very good too. One pizza taken off the bill due to it being late served ( only because the pizza oven can only take so many at once ). We didn’t complain about this, indeed, were happy to wait for it but were informed it was being taken off the bill. Can’t say better than that. Definitely recommended and would go again. Outside seating looked nice too but wasn’t quite the day for it.

    Staff were very friendly but we were kept waiting a long time for our drinks when we first arrived and it didn’t look particularly busy. Pizzas were delicious. Not keen on big dining room. Disappointed the Peri Peri burger isn’t on the menu anymore.

    Food was good, especially the pizzas and sticky toffee pudding. Although the creamed spinach could have been a little less runny. Service was terrible on the day we went. In there 10 mins and didn’t get asked about drinks so went to the bar ourselves, then another 10 minutes until they clicked and came to take our order. The food still wasn’t with us 50 minutes after being there, then I caught the eye of the waitress and again, she clicked we didn’t have anything. Another waiter came and explained they would be another 5 minutes as the pizza oven was at full capacity but most other tables had their food and a lot of roasts were coming out. It was definitely a lie and we had been forgotten about. Our drinks order was wrong and I always find it really quiet in there. Not a nice buzz of a restaurant. Maybe the music could be a little louder.

    The service was slow and offhand. The table at which we were seated is unsuitable for a party of seven people,being long thus making conversation at best difficult and at worse impossible. A round table is required. The chairs were hard and uncomfortable,metal back and a wooden seat. Four of the party had pizzas and all found the base almost impossible to cut with the knives provided. In the end we had to resort to using hands to pull the pizza apart in order to eat. Maybe ok for a snack bar but not so for a restaurant. The dessert course took a very long time to be served,which did not help and, finally I had to attract the staff in order to receive my bill. Overall it made a family party( first time together since Christmas 2019) an underwhelming experience.

    I tried calling earlier in the day to book a table. I got a voice mail. I know you guys were busy as it was Easter weekend. But when we got there we were told that no bookings were left for the entire day and if you didn't have a booking we couldn't order any food. So we got a couple drinks and started to look for another place to eat. Another couple came in and I watched as they were told the same thing. Then a table next to them told them to just book online as there were plenty of empty bookings. After hearing this I went to your website and found many spots to book. We booked a table for 15 minutes later. I then went back to the bar and showed my booking and ordered a couple of pizzas. Why didn't the staff tell me or the other couple to do just what that table said to do? We were made out to believe that the whole day was booked up and nothing available at all. In the end we got to eat. The food was good and we didn't have to go elsewhere.

    I think menu has changed since I was last there - so less choice unless you are wanting pizza. Bit put off by huge piles of pizza boxes on way in - felt like I was in a pizza delivery back room.

    Not been here before. Needed to find somewhere near Hitchin as we were going there afterwards, so chose a country pub. Not disappointed. Good portions and food good. Excellent service.

    I booked the cricketers for lunch as a venue to celebrate my 60th birthday on the basis that for many years we have always enjoyed the food there. I'm sorry I made the choice. On arrival we had to go look for the greeter. Despite the fact we made a note on the booking form via Open Table that we we're celebrating a birthday it hadn't been picked up by the team at the Cricketers. No mention was made of it by our waitress even when I was handed a card and gift by a friend. The food was a let down.The lasagne was baked hard dry and inedible. My friend ordered steak with sweet potato fries that were burnt. The lasagne was sent back but there wasn't much else to choose from. There was no specials available which is unusual. There was no quibble when we sent food back and we weren't charged but even so given that I was celebrating a significant birthday I had hoped the food would live up to the standards we have grown accustomed to in the past. The Cricketers has always been our go to local pub as the food has always been great up till now.

    It was disappointing that the menu only has “dinner” or full meal choices. Some of our party would have liked a small plate and the children’s menu was not suitable. We were told “Sandwiches are only served in summer” Bring back lunch! The music wasn’t too bad this time as this can be very loud. Final disappointment was that there was no tea to drink as “there is no hot water and only the coffee machine was working”. Really? does no-one own a kettle?

    We arrived on Saturday at about 12.30pm for lunch and were immediately shown to our table. The menu was a bit limited and we would have liked to see a better choice on the menu of English and French cusine eg steak and kidney pie, roast beef, lamb or pork and similarly for the desserts. Service was quick. attentive and cheerful.
