The Cricketers - Ingatestone

Here for lunch with the bike. pint of jake the snake and a portion of chicken and pesto pasta renewed energy level perfectly. friendly staff, quick service and could even sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. kellnerin even offered to refill my water bottle before they continued on the route. think I could eat while I get out for a cycle for a lot!

Decent roast, friendly efficient staff, nice decor. Really liked that they were playing music outside the front whilst everyone sat there in the sun top marks for creating a great atmosphere!

The whole experience was amazing, and the instructors, Rupert and Gary, were exceptional—both friendly and knowledgeable in the sport. Our day began with a hearty breakfast at the pub, followed by a safety briefing before heading out to the shooting range. We enjoyed a friendly competition among us, which made it even more fun. After the shooting, we returned to the pub for a delicious three-course lunch, which was truly fantastic. All of this was just £85 per person! The entire day, from breakfast to the midday shooting, was wonderful, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout. I highly recommend this as a unique birthday celebration. We enjoyed it so much that we can’t wait to book our next visit soon!

I had a lovely retirement party here last night. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing, the food was delicious, and there was an excellent selection of beers. The staff was busy throughout the evening, but they were all very friendly. I definitely plan to come back for a family dinner.

I love dining at The Cricks! It's always a delightful experience, whether I’m enjoying a meal with a group of 16 family members or in smaller gatherings. The food is fantastic, and the staff are a joy to be around. Thank you for making every visit special!
