About This Pub

Ah, Cricketer's Arms, it's one of those pubs that just warms your heart the moment you walk in. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff really go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome, like you're chatting with old friends rather than just grabbing a drink. The place is always immaculate, which is a nice touch when you're settling in for the evening, and the beer selection is spot on with those Holts prices that won't break the bank. Karaoke nights and sports on the screens add a fun twist, and the beer garden's a cracking spot for a summer catch-up. On the flip side, it's a bit on the quiet and compact side, so if you're in the mood for a packed house with live music or a big crowd, it might not quite hit the mark. Still, for a straightforward, affordable night out with good company and no fuss, it's a solid choice that keeps things genuine and enjoyable.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant, always making you feel right at home with their friendly chats and top-notch service.
  • It's kept spotlessly clean, which really adds to the cosy, welcoming vibe every time you step in.
  • They've got a great selection of proper beer at really good prices, especially as it's part of the Holts family.
  • There's fun entertainment like karaoke and plenty of screens for watching sports, perfect for a relaxed evening.
  • The beer garden is a lovely spot to sit out, especially on a sunny day, and it's just a hidden gem overall.
Cons
  • It's a quiet and small place, which might feel a bit low-key if you're after a more lively, bustling atmosphere.
  • No website means it's not the easiest to check out menus or events online, so you might have to pop in to find out more.
  • The hours can seem a tad inconsistent from what's listed, so it's worth double-checking before heading over.

Having a short break in a Holt's pub, quite and small place, visited for locals, with a beer garden and many screens on which you can enjoy watching sports.

Made to feel very welcome, we sat out front and staff ( including landlady) came out to see if we needed anything. Nice and clean plus good prices being part of the Holts family
