The Cricketers in Adur

One of the best roast dinners I’ve had in a long time 👏😋

Nice friendly pub. I did not eat, but will try next time.

Christmas lunch was the worse I’ve had I’ve phoned 3 times to speak to the manager and I’ve had no success even though I was advised that I would have a call back. My starter was as if it had just come out of the freezer and my Turkey was dry and warm And tasteless I’ve tried to talk with the manager but he hasn’t returned my call I wouldn’t recommend this pub to eat very poor

Not the best experience this time around. It's our favourite pub, so must have been an off day. We waited over 1hr 15mins for food to arrive. When it did arrive, it was bland which was a shame. The service, on the other hand, was excellent. The manager handled the situation extremely professionally, and tried to recover the situation, which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be returning, hoping for a better experience.

Enjoyed our meal so much that we booked our daughters birthday meal

Loverly pub. Well run and very polite staff. Food was 👏 The menu ? totally different from many other pubs, this place had perhaps a 10%/15% commonality with all the rest. The cherry on the top was Darren. Never had such a great guy serving us! Thank you 😊 And thank you Darren.

Service is 10/10 and the private room was really nice for a large family meal. Scallops were the highlight!

Not sure if place changed chef but we visit place few times 2 times was good and last 2 times not so good , host rushed trough pub show us table not telling us if they have everything on menu or not , Waitresses were very good :)

Family Xmas lunch in pleasent surroundings busy but not to loud able to enjoy lunch easily felt at ease. Good sociable pub family friendly.

Relaxed comfortable friendly atmosphere. Good pub grub. Friendly staff good service. Welcoming pub. Children loved it.

We go to the Cricketers fairly often and have never been disappointed with the service or the food. I generally have a burger but various dishes are chosen and all are good.

We had the best evening at The Cricketers on the Green last night, it truly was a delectable feast! The Signature Festive Menu was absolutely incredible. The quality of the food, how it was presented and the service was phenomenal. You won’t find a better Christmas dinner anywhere else (ever) ! A huge well done to Steve and the team.

Good service The food was excellent 👌 and a good pint of guiness Very clean

Amazing friendly staff, a must go to spot if you’re in the area, lovely food and great drinks with an amazing team behind the bar.

I have to say the food was lovely if anything you could probably cut down on the chicken portion or offer a 1/4 at a reduced price to avoid wastage. The kids roasts are also very salty which they love but isn’t as healthy as it could be. What was really shocking was the lack of high chairs. I booked a table and stated I needed 2 ( I have 1 year old twins). You’re a pub and a busy one at that, families must quite often visit and need these, you need to buy more. We came on our anniversary for lunch and the beginning was pretty ruined, we were asked to order a few times and I had to explain I can’t order if there’s no seats for my children to eat at, and there seemed to be no understanding of this. Finally managed to get one seat, then couldn’t order for ages. We drove over an hour out to come here as the reviews were great but I have to say your service could be drastically improved.

Really disappointed and left feeling like I wanted my money back. We booked their ‘magical winter night’ but there was nothing magical about it. We turned up and were told we couldn’t sit outside in the ‘walled garden turned into a frosted winter woodland’ as advertised. Yes it had rained earlier on in the day, but at the time of booking it was mild and dry. Even if the weather wasn’t great, it would have been courteous to inform us prior to arrival that this was the case as sitting outside ‘as the magic of Christmas hangs in the air, blankets, hot water bottles and heaters will keep winter’s chill at bay’ (their commentary) was half of the experience… We were sat in the conservatory area which was completely empty, no decorations and therefore no atmosphere. The food was okay but without the atmosphere not worth the price. I probably could’ve forgiven the experience if the situation was handled differently, but the manager was rude and dismissive. It also looked like we were the only ones there for the magical winter night experience, so my many years of working in hospitality myself tells me they simply couldn’t be bothered to execute the night for a table of three. If you’re going to put on these kind of events you need to have a minimum number each night to ensure it’s successful, and management that actually care about you having a good night.

As of returning customer to this place, I always have a good experience very rarely out of something on the menu and a beer is always nice and cold I would definitely recommend this place and I will be back for sure

Excellent service, great food. A slightly unusual menu, would benefit from a few salads or lighter options but you can order small plates and sides as a main which was a great option. Everything we ordered was great. Our waitress this evening was so attentive and lovely. Thank you!

We’ve given The Cricketers Pirbright several chances, but after our latest visit today, we feel it's time to leave a negative review. Each experience has been disappointing, primarily because of the rude and arrogant manager, who seems to think he’s above everyone else. He often ignores customers, seems disrespectful to the staff, and doesn’t seem to care about the quality of service. The manager’s dismissive attitude made the entire experience unpleasant. That being said, we’ve had positive interactions with a friendly waitress named Lea and a cheerful bartender, but unfortunately, the manager's behaviour has overshadowed these moments. If you’re looking for a pleasant dining experience, we’d recommend giving this place a miss!!!

Came here for some burgers of the month, they were incredible! Staff really friendly and welcoming. The pub has been decorated really well for Christmas and feels very festive so will definitely be returning for the festive period.

The head chef and the kitchen staff is very professional and always deliver the best quality anytime. The food quality is always the best. It is a very lovely pub. I'm coming back here very soon.

Service good but food crap Basic sausage and mash 15£??? I had crab fish cake which I was all batter more than crab Didn’t offer free free or pudding Won’t go there again!

Delicious Malabar prawn & monkfish curry with super crispy samphire

Very busy on arrival had booked had to wait a few mins for a table . A few of the choices were not available. . Waiters all very friendly , waited a long time for our meals I think our order may of been missed . When the food came it was excellent sooo tasty , worth the wait

Service was excellent and due to it being a rugby pub was very busy after an international game…this did not affect the service…food and drink was good only problem is that they had run out of a lot of dishes.

Fantastic bar maid. Super friendly and helpful. Great food and prices. Really enjoyed the lunch and atmosphere. 5 stars

By 330 most of the roast options were gone, along with some of the dessert options. The ambiance/overhead lighting was subpar but the staff were nice and attentive.

I’d booked a table for two but arrived an hour or so earlier. It was interesting to see how many people needed to be turned away as they hadn’t booked. I sat at the bar for an hour or so and enjoyed the team’s interaction. Once we were seating and ate, the food was great. Thanks team.

Really good idea for the kids on Halloween half term loved the music and the kids thoroughly enjoyed hope to see it next year :)

lovely and family-friendly place, always will come here as it’s an annual thing i do with my family every year, has a good atmosphere, friendly and kind staff, nice quiet place to have some time with loved ones. definitely recommend!!

Enjoyed a fabulous reasonably priced lunch here. Had fish and chips and the fish was very tasty. One friend enjoyed her jacket potato - cheapest ever had

Fabulous all round!! We will definitely return!!

The food is delicious and you will not be disappointed by the menu if you make the decision to spend your Sunday here. However the service was very slow, and lack of communication from certain staff members did leave us feeling as though we were a nuisance. Having spoken to another very pleasant and attentive waitress, she did confirm that it had been a very busy Sunday. Having had several stints in hospitality myself I know how relentless weekend service can be. That said, an overall good experience in a characterful and charming pub was marred by poor communication between the staff on service and a 30-minute wait to be able to order food.

Brilliant pub, superb food, great setting

A good pub offering good food and beverage selection. If go again to try out their menu further.

Really tasty food and a lovely location! The scallops in particular were excellent

Great service, really lovely friendly staff, thank you 🙏

The food is really good and the staff are fantastic 👌

Came for a family roast dinner around 3pm. Service quite slow. One person ordered lamb roast, whereas a beef roast came out. The waiter essentially hung around with the beef waiting for us to just accept the beef. My sons childrens chicken roast was substituted with beef without our consultation and we were just presented with it. Sides ordered never came despite requesting them 3-4 times. Childrens ice cream came out as an ice cream soup

The service is impeccable, especially a girl called Mia, so lovely and welcoming deserves a 5 star if I could do 6 I would! Brilliantly run pub, cosy, about 45 tvs for all your sports and anything you want just ask will get delivered to you with no worry

The food and service were very good but the side dish was 5 minutes provided 5 minutes after the main dishes.

The Single Worst Restaurant Experience of My Life: Buckle Up. It all began innocently enough at 4 p.m., a Sunday roast to celebrate two milestones, my mum’s birthday and my sister’s wedding anniversary. Six adults, four kids, all ready for a feast at The Cricketers on the Green. What could go wrong? Oh, everything. Everything could go wrong. We arrived promptly at 4 p.m. only to be told that our table wasn’t ready. A small red flag, sure, but we were given a bottle of rosé to smooth things over. Rosé at 4 p.m.? Not the worst start, though that red flag was starting to flutter ever so slightly. Fast forward 45 minutes, and finally, a table was ready. We ordered with a sense of hope and settled in, anticipating a nice meal. And after just 30 minutes, a couple of starters arrived—along with two kids’ meals. So far, so decent. (Spoiler alert: this was the last glimpse of food we’d see for the remainder of our ill-fated evening. Two kids? No food. Adults? Not even a crumb.) Then came the first of many disappointments: no roast beef available. Annoying, but fine, we made alternate choices. Little did we know, this would be the last bit of communication we’d receive for a long, long time. Another hour passed. Any inquiries about the whereabouts of our food were met with the infuriatingly vague “just 10 minutes away.” Meanwhile, we watched diners who arrived after us gleefully receive their meals including, I kid you not, the roast beef we were told didn’t exist. By now, two hours had crawled by, and we were well into the “if someone doesn’t feed me soon, I might gnaw on the furniture” phase. Not a slice of bread, not an olive, nothing to ward off the gnawing hunger. All we got were more empty promises of “10 more minutes,” which by now tasted more bitter than anything the kitchen could’ve conjured up. At the 2-hour-and-45-minute mark (yes, I was counting), the kids were on the verge of a full-blown revolt. Still no food. After confronting management about how we’d been lied to for over an hour and a half, they finally dropped the bombshell: “We don’t know when your dinner will be ready. In fact, we’re not even sure if it will be ready.” Yes, you read that right. The one thing a restaurant is meant to do *serve food* they couldn’t even guarantee. Apparently, the kitchen was operating in some Bermuda Triangle of communication. They tried blaming a staff member who hadn’t shown up, but having worked in hospitality myself, I know you don’t just stop feeding people because someone no-shows. You adjust! You downsize the service, you turn new customers away - you don’t keep a party hanging around for hours on a special occasion while lying through your teeth. Three hours in, with no sign of food and the pretense long abandoned, we left. Starving, frustrated, and with our evening thoroughly ruined. On our way out, we encountered a woman whose night had also been wrecked. Her kids were served raw food, and she’d left without paying because, apparently, free dinner doesn’t feel like much of a win when it’s inedible and the night is already a disaster. We ended the night scavenging through the fridge at home because by then, the supermarkets were closed, and the kids were exhausted. In all my years, I’ve never left a pub after three hours without being served dinner. Why they weren’t turning away customers or cancelling bookings to focus on those they already had is beyond me. Communication, common sense and apparently main courses are sorely lacking at this establishment. Consider this my first-ever bad review. Avoid The Cricketers on the Green. We weren’t the first to have a night ruined here, and with their attitude, we definitely won’t be the last. AVOID!

Despite booking a table in advance, we were made to wait half an hour to be given a table with terrible atmosphere. All i heard from other customers while we were waiting was how terrible the service was. Makes you wonder what the point of booking is if it doesn't garuntee you a table for when you want it?

Came here with a friend for lunch before heading to the theatre. We were seated quickly and as, I had mentioned it was my friends birthday on the online booking form, were given a drink on the house which was a nice touch. The staff were exceptionally friendly, especially our server, Kaiias, who came back every so often to check on us. There was a good choice of food and drinks and our meal was hot and delicious. It appears to be a very popular pub and I can see why. Would we return. Definitely!

Really great service, we didn’t realise it was table service if we were eating at first given we’ve not been here before but I’m sure we’ll be back! Really great service, very tasty food and lovely location.

Been a few times. Food and service excellent

Lovely pub on Richmond Green serving a nice Sunday roast and lovely desert! The staff are super friendly and we got great service :-)

Fantastic service and really nice decor. The roast dinner was the best I’ve ever had at a pub by far! Would definitely recommend. BUT please add some cauliflower cheese and stuffing to the additions menu!! Would really hit the mark. And gravy needs to be just a bit thicker as it’s a tad watery

Having regularly eaten at this pub in addition to booking the upstairs function room for several events and been a general customer for 25 years I was embarrassed and extremely upset by the treatment from the staff and management today when I brought two friends for Sunday lunch (who had both travelled a considerable distance to be there). We were informed that the house white wine was 'vinegar' so we therefore ordered a more expensive bottle, the food was substandard compared to previous meals (plus burnt and needed to be returned) and were made to be feel embarrassed, for example, when milk needed to be ordered separately for a cup of tea. The whole visit was uncomfortable and was made worse by an aggressive customer who repeatedly bumped one of our chairs and became aggressive when questioned regarding this. He was not addressed re his threatening behaviour as his response by the manager and although the service charge and food was deducted from our bill we agreed to pay for our drinks (a regret in hindsight) as we wanted to leave the unpleasant atmosphere immediately. I will certainly never return to this place and am personally saddened by the whole afternoon's experience.

We went to The Cricketers for a Sunday lunch today, the roast was amazing, the portion sizes and quality of the food is exceptional, it is clear to see why it is so busy. The sticky toffee pudding is a must have!

Wow! Popped in for a drink. Could not be make to well more welcome! Great location, fantastic staff all so very helpful and full of smiles. Made to feel so very welcome! Will be back

First time at the cricketers the pub is really lovely, the staff were really friendly and the food was really good and tasty I would definitely be going back.

We stopped for lunch. The staff were outstanding! The food was absolutely delicious, I had the steak burger which was cooked to perfection. This is a great place to visit with amazing staff and a lovely friendly atmosphere mad either even better. Highly recommended

Great food and brilliant service.

We love coming to eat at the cricketers! The food is incredible and the service is second to none! We are usually always served by a gentleman called Tyler and he is so attentive, makes you feel at home and nothing is ever too much trouble!

Brilliant food and excellent service, managed to fit us in last minute even though we were a table of 7 and it was a busy Sunday!

I felt prices were a bit heavy for a Sunday lunch, and the service charge was a shock at nearly 9%. Unfortunately, the I'm assuming, French landlord? was very rude to the young lady who allocated our table. Our waitress was delightful and very well informed. Would I go back, probably not.

Great spot opposite the green. Wines in an Enomatic machine if you want something a bit more special. Well worth a visit and you can sit on the terrace too

Very nice meal out with my better half

chips way to salty ,mention to the man behind bar , we have left chips way to salty said ok I let chef know, still took payment

Birthday meal but they ignored the special occasion message even though I’d written a note. Don’t ask the question if you have no intention of doing anything. Food- tiny portions at inflated prices. Sides etc with the small portion. It was standard fair and nothing special. Wanted a gin and tonic but they had no lemons??? A pub with no lemons? Couldn’t offer us cheese and biscuits. Didn’t do it. Melting Camembert was available. We wanted cheddar. Poor for pub on the green at Richmond

Outstanding. Our party of 10 were catered for wonderfully well by what felt like the whole staff team. Service was swift, done with a smile and accommodated our every requirement. Interaction from the staff made us feel like genuinely valued customers during a busy Sunday lunchtime at this popular venue. The food was superb and cooked to perfection. A really nice touch was taking the children's orders first and starting to prepare those, then coming back to take the adults' orders, so the children weren't waiting as long for their food. Prices were fair, especially given the excellent quality of the food. We spent a good couple of hours there enjoying the food, drink and atmosphere. Far from being our first visit to The Cricketers, the experience today has certainly fuelledour desire to get bacl there as soon as possible.

Booked for four on a Friday evening. The food was excellent, starter, main and sweet. The staff were very good. The cost for the four of us was £190. I was a little put out as a gratuity was automatically added to the bill. I would have given a tip anyway, but I am put off by not having a choice without specifically asking for it to be taken off the credit card transaction. Probably the only reason not to go back.

We went 13.08 for an early birthday meal and couldn't fault the service or food. The staff were wonderful and even comped the desserts due to taking a 'devilishly long time' to arrive, not that we noticed as it really wasn't that long a wait, but the attention to service was brilliant. Food was excellent too and we will definitely be returning.

The best gluten free pub in Surrey. About 2/3 of their menu is GF, and it's absolutely delicious. Great service and lovely environment. Will be back.

I had my uncle Dave’s wake at the cricks I was so pleased with how everything went the buffet was amazing and the staff were amazing making sure we were all ok thank you again x

Had a nice time here for dinner with some friends, there are some great value for money items especially on the small plates menu which are really delicious. The staff were really nice too! It was a lil slow but they informed us they were a chef down so that’s to be expected, and decor could use a spruce up. Overall the staff, food and drink were very very nice and would happily come back again!

Had a lovely Sunday roast. Only downside is there wasn't a vegetarian roast option available.

It's a great pub, with great staff. Lovely food, decent selection of beer and super friendly staff. Plus a nice view of Richmond Green

Lovely pub, really good atmosphere with original and interesting food

The food was excellent we had pie and mash, delicious. The staff we're very attentive and lovely thanks

It was busy but still we were served very quickly, food came very fast, it presented great. Service was fantastic. Dogs allowed so next coming with our furry friend :)

Had dinner and drinks, lovely atmosphere, very quick service and very friendly! And the food has improved massively from 5-10 years ago.

Staff great, food great. Highly recommend presentation perfect. Great from arriving until leaving. Even able to take mobility scooter indoors .

Waited ages to be served, other people served before us at the bar.

Great service as there were a few glitches with our lunches not being available or of poor quality so the manager sorted it all out with no issues

Stop-off for lunch before a hospital appointment. Very nice lunch, sweet chilli chicken, peppers and onion wrap with 'hit-the-spot' fries, and buttermilk chicken & bacon wrap with chips, two lattes, very good price. Staff very friendly and great ambience. Definite thumbs-up from us! Thank you 😊

Specifically booked to try their Sunday Roast as saw positive reviews online. I had the beef roast while my partner decided to go for the fish and chips last minute. The roast was really disappointing. It didn't come hot, meat was hard to chew, roast potatoes had lost their crispiness, yorkshire pudding had no flavour at all, gravy was really runny and tasted watered down.. it all lacked seasoning unfortunately. Priced at £19 was really expecting more. Fish and chips were okay but nothing memorable but the mushy peas were not good (almost sauce consistency). The service was friendly but took a while to get their attention when we were ready to order. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place to go for food but it would be an alright place to meet up with friends for drinks.

Great location , great service and great pub food. Curry sauce with fish and chips must get a special mention!

Really fantastic all round, beautiful food, top notch service, great looking place and nice atmosphere. We'd definitely like to go again👌

The food was amazing and the atmosphere is super welcoming and lovely. I had a burger and chai and they were both incredibly tasty. They had a lot of gluten free options and accommodations from the a la carte menu. This place makes me want to go back and lower everyone else's ratings now that I truly understand what 5 stars should be.

Another high price small portion gasrto pub I'm afraid,service was on the slow side aswell.

We recently had our wedding reception at The Cricketers On The Green, and it was absolutely perfect. The setting is idyllic, nestled right next to a picturesque cricket green, which added a charming and quintessentially English backdrop to our special day. The staff were nothing short of exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy our day without a single worry. The pub itself exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both intimate and larger gatherings. The interior is beautifully maintained, with a cozy yet elegant vibe that made our guests feel right at home. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. The Cricketers On The Green made our wedding day truly unforgettable, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and well-managed venue. Thank you to the entire team for making our day so special, particularly Mark & Tyler!

Came for my father in laws birthday. Drinks were forgotten and the drinks that arrived were wrong and cold. Food seemed like an age and 2 dishes came out without the maple syrup the rest turned up cold and without cutlery and the young lad serving us seemed to not care at all....... Will not return if it had not been for the birthday situation I would have asked for our money back very poor unfortunately.

Great place to eat,lovely atmosphere.

When we ordered were told two mains were unavailable. Decided on an alternative a couple of mins later told that was now also unavailable then after 10 more mins and after our starters had arrived chose yet again. 40 mins later mains, told they were "being played up" 10 mins later still nothing. Decided to call it a day when the server got argumentative over the time taken. Manager summoned he was apologetic and cancelled the bill. 32nd Anniversary ruined, won't be returning

Food here is always super delicious. Friendly staff, great service and love going here everytime we have the chance.

The Cricketers on the Green is a gem of a restaurant that excels in every aspect – from impeccable service to mouthwatering food with a welcoming & relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth making this a regular visit with friends and family!

Good food. Service and atmosphere could do better.

Nearly £90 for two mains, two glasses of wine and a shared pudding. Food is standard chain gastropub fare. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't special or memorable - I suspect the only thing I'll remember is the price!

Always love this pub jasmine is the best on the bar very attentive and knows exactly what everyone wants. Amazing cocktails and amazing service Thank you jasmine xx

Me and three others came for the Sunday roast, and it was amazing, especially for the fact you can ask for extra potatoes and yorkshire pudding. Service was really attentive, lovely place.

Had a lovely lunch there over May bank holiday weekend. Great service, lovely food. Dogs very welcome with water bowl and treats, very nice touch.

Food tasty, if a bit expensive. Service deplorable. Waited 10 mins before anyone acknowledged we were even in the building. 15 mins before we were asked if we wanted a drink. Over an hour before food arrived, 25 mins before our plates were cleared. A 2 course meal 3 hours!

Lovely Friday dinner at the Cricketers. Great service from Lilly. Loved it so much we booked it for breakfast the next morning and a Sunday roast the following week.

This place hS gone down hill in the last few months

Quiet Monday evening meal with friends. Great meal and service

Great birthday roast lunches - this is a great pub. T'was just a little too noisy to hear each other speak, or is that age...

I booked the cricketers for myself, my partner and my Nan for Sunday lunch. I am gluten and dairy intolerant, as well as pescetarian... which makes me a nightmare to cater for. I was impressed they had an allergen menu online and when we arrived the waitress let me know what I would be able to eat. I was unable to have the vegan roast because of the gluten in the wellington so asked if I could have the vegan roast with the sea bass from another main meal, after enquiring with the kitchen she confirmed this wouldn't be a problem. The food was delicious and the waitress didn't once make me feel like I was being a pain (although I know I am!). We had a great Sunday lunch in the sunshine.

The second time I took someone recently here for a lunch and it's the second time I've not enjoyed the food. First time my friend and I had the scotch egg which we both found too rich.I put that down to just not our preference. Second time I had the fishfinger roll. There wasn't much fish. It was all batter and I thought the roll was meant to be a Brioche roll (I've tried to find the lunch menu online to check this but can't) instead I was given what seemed like a heavy sourdough roll. My friend had the club sandwich and said that where the bread had been put on the grill it tasted burnt. Perhaps I should have said something at the time but I didn't want it to spoil the afternoon out. The pub itself is in a lovely location and the courtyard and Yurt are really nice and well thought out. The staff have always been very pleasant. However for my next lunch date I'm going to have to find a new location.
