The Cricketers in Uttlesford

Stayed good Friday night. Service was excellent, food was really good, had Lamb and Steak. 2 children's portions were decent size and well cooked. The room was lovely, perfect size for 2 adults and 2 kids. Highly recommended.

Staff were very efficient and friendly. We stayed one night and our room was bright, clean, roomy and well equipped. Breakfast was excellent with a huge choice of options, again staff were attentive and prompt to react to any requests.

We have frequented this establishment on many occasions for our company and have our Christmas function there every Christmas. The refurbishment is an absolutely credit the Cheshnut Group. The restaurant as a lovely warm feeling and the new layout is so much better. The rooms which have all had a major overall do not disappoint in anyway. Just the other evening 22 of us were there to say a fond farewell to one of the team who was retiring. As with everything with these events names, menu choices change all the time but thanks to Jay the General Manager and the guys at Head Office this was all carried out efficiently and quickly. The food on the night was amazing and I would have to say most probably the best food to be served since it was taken over. The charm of this property remains and will always be a go to when we have events. Thank you to all the team for making this evening so so special for all who attended.

Ordered fish and chips which was very average, fish was quite small and chips were not great. Waitress did not offer sauces when she brought our food so my chips were even drier. I notice the waitress also asked other people if everything was fine with their meals but did not ask us which seemed odd. Desert was nice but expect more for £7.50. My partner had pie which was nice. I did notice on my way out another person had what looked like a bigger piece of fish with a good amount of flesh on it. I would not recommend going here.

Spent a very enjoyable two nights with friends. Very well looked after by the staff who were very helpful with local information. Rooms clean and well furnished and the beds very comfortable. The food was some of the best we had tasted. Well done The Cricketers!!

This is the first time we have visited since Mr and Mrs Oliver handed over the reins. We had looked at the sample menu on.line and there was a good choice of meals. However the menu at the restaurant was completely different and far less choice. Also on line it said to look for the specials. There were no specials. There was not one starter we wanted and struggled to choose a main meal from the 6 available. There also was no cheese board as an alternative to a dessert. We did enquire but was told they do not get cheese in for the weekend. The meal was adequate but definitely overpriced. Bottles of wine were also overpriced. However the room was nice and most of the staff were friendly. Breakfast was good. Would not rush to visit again.

Disappointing, and overpriced, wouldn't recommend to anyone. Went in for a Sunday roast with a friend from overseas, and it was scraping for average.Even though the pub was empty we were squeezed onto a very small table in the walkway, and that was made to feel like a favour. Even though I explained to the server we were slightly pressed for time I then had to remind him twice that they hadn't taken our orders.Then the food came!Over cooked veg with weird taste, roast potatoes dry and old tasting, very likely reheated from an earlier service, and yorkshire (which wasn't included in the roast was over cooked and dry so that it crumbles into dust when cut. This was the very opening of service so there's no excuse.The staff seemed depressed, short and like they were doing us a favour. When I mentioned the potato issue the lady looked utterly uninterested and made no step to engage or solve it.It was on the expensive end for a pub roast, especially when the standards were more like airport food.ll on all not a good meal, not a good example of a decent Sunday pub experience for my friend from abroad, and Won't be in again. Not the pub it used to be.

Food choice and taste excellent. Atmosphere in the restaurant and staff great.Slightly disappointed that we chose a weekend when a group of rowdy guests were stopping, who thought it was fine to sing, talk shout loudly and generally be guests from hell. Also unfortunately for us this was topped of by the guests in the room above us who seemed unaware they were over a room and stomped, scraped and banged doors.

Went for Sunday Lunch. My wife and I had roast pork which was very nice my daughters had roast beef and one had sausage and mash. It was all tasty. I was a bit disappointed with my daughters roast beef. A child's portion £9 was a single small slice of beef, potatoes and veg. Yorkshire pudding is her favourite part and she didn't get one. She ended up sharing ours. Thought the price was high end (over £70 for two adults two children one drink each only a main course) so wouldn't rush back.

Originally booked as I believed it was still owned by Jamie Olivers parents. The day before the booking I twigged it was now owned by a pub chain and was a little worried as it was for my wife's birthday.Well, there was no need to worry as it was lovely. The room was great, the service was good and the food was lovely. Most importantly my wife had a lovely birthday.
