Real feedback from the people who matter most — our guests.
Visited for the first time last Sunday and we all had the large Roast. Absolutely fantastic taste and quality! Generous portion sizes, superb services, and good value for money. Liked it so much, we've booked a table for this Sunday too. This could be our new 'go-to' place. Well done all!
We went as a party of 4 booked for 3.15pm on a Sunday. It was really busy when we arrived and was seated after buying our first round of drinks. Unfortunately we were forgotten after we were seated and after about 15 mins or so had to ask for menus. Then we was left a while again. We then flagged a member of staff and they took our order. We ordered starters and mains and the starters came after about 20 mins but then the mains took over half an hour and again we had to ask for an update and was told there had been a mix up with the orders and it wouldn't be long. The food itself was presented well and tasted really good. The portions were plentiful and all fresh produce. We left the pub near to 6pm which was probably an hour more than we anticipated but they are obviously really popular and so just bare that in mind especially on a Sunday if your in a rush or have appointments to be elsewhere. Other than that it was good.
The staff were very welcoming, the pub very busy and we hadn’t booked. Just after 2pm. A table was found and we were quickly served. My sister and I, tired after a tedious journey of 4 hours for me - thanks to an incident on the Dart Bridge, really enjoyed the Sunday roast. Well cooked and beautifully presented. We moved to a quieter table to enjoy a coffee, reluctant almost to leave. The Americano was disappointingly weak. Our reason for leaving a review: a warning not to be taken in, as we foolishly were, by an offer of what sounded to be a complementary liqueur to finish the meal. We were approached by the manager at our table with a jolly suggestion of having a liqueur. It wasn’t until I went to pay for the coffees that our stupidity was obvious. We had been taken in and … scammed! Two ladies in their early 70s who should know better! If it wasn’t for this, we would absolutely recommend and return to The Cricketers.
Really good food that was beautifully cooked and well presented. The goat's cheese and the ham hock starters were particularly good. The sea bass was cooked just how I like it, with a crispy underside. And they managed to make the humble chicken breast into something especially tasty. I would have given them five stars but some of the waiting staff were quite disengaged and had virtually no knowledge of the menu regarding either food or drinks. But that did not spoil it being a very good meal.
