The Cricketers - Windsor and Maidenhead

The menu at this restaurant is fantastic, offering English-inspired main dishes and delicious traditional desserts. The setting is always lovely, with a view overlooking the cricket field.

At last after a busy year of hardly being around the area I finally managed to get back to my friendly Cricketers pub/country inn. As always a friendly welcome followed by a delicious meal of homemade vegetable soup and followed by a homemade caeser salad. I have been to many places over the summer and asked for a caeser salad. Always one has to pay extra for chicken and in one place I had 2 rashers of bacon placed on top of the salad. I 'm sorry to say that of the many caeser salads consumed not one is a patch on The Cricketers caeser salad made by the landlady of the pub. I have now learned don 't ask for a caeser salad anywhere except at The Cricketers, Littlewick Green.

We went to The Cricketers on a Saturday evening, a large portion of the menu was not available, and of the 4 meals eaten, 3 were very disappointing. I wrote to the manager who took a full month to ‘investigate’ and was very defensive stating ‘Whilst we are always pleased to welcome walk-ins, if you had contacted us (booked before- hand) we would have had the opportunity to advise you of the home-made items that were unavailable.’ The blame was put on us for not complaining to staff, but we do not like to complain in public and it does not excuse a disappointing meal. The word is disappointing, and we will not be returning.

Yesterday, our family of six enjoyed a delightful Sunday lunch at this inn located in a picturesque village setting. Everything from the food, to the service, to the ambiance was exceptional. The prices were also very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of the experience. We couldn't have made a better choice. Thank you to the staff and chef for an amazing meal!

Yesterday, I went to lunch with Lady Mon at The Cricketers. The pies, fish, and steak ale were all excellent. We also enjoyed soaking up the ambiance of the filming of several episodes of "Midsummer Murders." The staff was outstanding. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend The Cricketers to everyone.
