The Cricketers Clavering

It’s a nice pub with good rooms. But a few things could have been better. It would have been helpful if someone had checked our reservation and told us the value we could order to for our fixed price stay. We had forgotten and ordered the cheapest thing on the menu. The room was nice and very spacious and comfortable. The grouting and silicone at the tap end needs bleaching. The shaving mirror, which was nice to find, is placed so high in the wall that it was unusable (I can’t understand how such an error was made). Breakfast was a disappointment; plenty of choice for cooked breakfast but no fruit or yoghurt. We asked for some and did get very small pots of compote and yoghurt. The cooked breakfast I ordered came so fast that I had barely started my cereal, this is a bit amateur. But we would stay again in spite of shortcomings.

Took my daughters for a meal tonight and hadn’t been to this pub in ages.. I’ve been surprised by some of the reviews for here.. We had an awesome time, the food was really great and the ambience was lovely. We will definitely be returning. The biggest shout out though should go to the staff that were in this evening. The lady and gent serving were SO friendly , welcoming, attentive and professional a real asset to the place and offering fabulous customer service.. A credit to you.. I couldn’t fault it..

Lovely lunch- the beef was excellent, friendly staff, great room; very clean, wine was decent. We had a great stay. My fiancé had the breakfast- I didn't. He said it was decent. I had a great night's sleep and didn't wake up in the night once. Bathroom was very clean as well as the room.

Excellent Sunday roast and battered cod was superb.good wine and great service from friendly and efficient staff. Would recommend to family and friends. Will be going back as soon as possible. Great setting. My one small gripe would be the parking as once the car park which hold’s probably 12 cars, would not be sure where else to park in the village.

Lovely setting, very quiet area. The food was really incredible ! The restaurant/bar was beautiful. The room was very nice, good size and love the small environmentally conscientious touches. The staff are an asset, all lovely but special mention to both ladies serving dinner Friday evening who were so welcoming and the chap during breakfast service on Saturday. Would definitely return

First time visit to this establishment, party of seven pre booked table for lunch. Male waiter served us drinks with no warmth or a smile, in fact he looked like he didn’t want to be there. Gave our food order to a lady and 20 mins later first course arrived. 1.5 hours later our main course arrived after several prompts and watching the adjacent table being served their food who incidentally ordered after we did. Food was okay nothing special. We were offered 10% discount on the final bill for the delay in our food being served, better than nothing I guess. Consequently we won’t be returning to this establishment.

Picked randomly online and didn’t regret it. We arrived late and after a warm welcome had a couple of drinks. The room was more than adequate with a big comfy bed. Breakfast the following morning was great. Superb visit albeit very short. Would definitely return.

Four of us arrived about 12.30 to very warm welcome with 2 small dogs. Immediately seated in a cosy corner to be asked what we wanted to drink to be served at table. Imaginative menu - between us we had Lamb Kofta, 2 mackerel pâtés on a crumpet, a Vege Mezze Board and a chicken schnitzel plus drinks and coffees. Reasonably priced, the lot for £107 inc. service. Each beautifully prepared and very tasty. Charming and professional service. First time visit for me, would certainly return.

We have been coming to this place for many years but sadly the food isn’t up to the standards of the previous visits. Some of our party had the roast and some the fish and chips. The mains came out before the starters due to kitchen mix up. After they were returned and we asked for them not to be kept warm in the oven, as suggested by our waiter, our starters appeared. Fish and chips, although great portion size, was a bit underwhelming and mushy peas were more of a liquid. Roast beef wasn’t up to what was anticipated. I have to say the staff were friendly. We have had some great times here but think it’s time to move on to something new.
