The Cricketers in Maldon

Great pub, excellent atmosphere and welcoming landlord and landlady plus friendly locals. Had a fantastic Sunday roast too 😋

We've been here a number of time, and always had a lovely meal withour friends. The owner is very welcoming, and great food.

Not cycle friendly. There is a sign to the garden saying NO Bikes but nowhere provided to lock them safely, so we cycled away and they lost our custom. Another pub got it instead. All it takes is somewhere to safely lock a bike and you will attract more people. Simple!

Great village pub food superb very clean Vince and Diane great host's

Landlord is very welcoming and the food is great and very good value for money

Great little village pub with outside seating

Sunday roast perfection! And the staff were really accommodating. Love a dog friendly pub

We live in the next village and prefer to come here.Always friendly, great homemade fresh food cooked quickly and always hot until the last bit.Friendly and chatty landlord named Vince always makes us feel welcome and locals don't make us feel like we don't belong.Food is plentiful and very well priced.If you want friendly no frills value for money then visit the cricketer's in goldhanger.

My hubby and I found this pub by mistake about 6 weeks ago. Went in had lovely lunch, was made to feel so welcome had a lovely afternoon chatting with vince..went back today taking our friend for sunday lunch. Food was wonderful and delicious and company and banter very friendly and welcoming 😀 look forward to going back again..

Great local pub. We went there last Saterday 3 July after going in the Chequers Inn further down the road, basilcly as it was on the way back from looking for the museum and on the way back from a dead end road (see the review before you go there),WOW! what a difference, yes it may not be so grand but you were welcomed by the landlord as soon as we went in. Very pleasent and the locals all friendly and talkative. We felt very welcome, the food menu was good with everything at £8.50 (that's half the price of the Chequers) We ordered Fish & Chips with beer batter, beer pulled from the pump in front of you. I had Steak & Kidney pudding absolutly great and it was all very nice and filling, oh, and the beer was very good.A proper local pub in the old style and NOT pretentious like the other one.So with the landlord and the natives being friendly we will be visiting there again when we go walking with the dog as its very dog friendly.
