The Cricketers has recently been taken over by Jay, who, as he is keen to tell you, is a painter/decorator. At the moment, he is just that. His publican skills are that he is friendly and helpful, but he needs a crash course in customer service and man management. Jay, if you're reading this, please accept our advice in the spirit in which it's meant. You need to be a landlord and a boss if you're going to make a success of that lovely pub. So, smarten yourself up, no more tatty, paint - splattered shirts! Don't swear in front of customers, especially if you've only just met them! Never, ever have an argument with your chef in public - very unprofessional!! Finally, get yourself a better alarm clock!! On the plus side, it is a great pub in a fantastic location and the room was well appointed and clean (obviously thanks to the young lady we met as we left). To be picky, there weren't enough tea bags, sachets of coffee and sugar etc. for us to have more than one cup. Also, NO BISCUITS!! Bed good but springs v creaky, bathroom great, v big. We had Room 2, which has quite a big wardrobe in it, not necessary in my opinion. Breakfast was rather average. There was no menu, just Jay asking if we wanted full English or not. We were offered "fresh" croissants, but they turned out to be frozen, finish - in - the - oven type, and they were not cooked through. Most elements of the cooked breakfast were overdone, hard eggs, both my fried and my wife's poached, incredibly hard and salty bacon, v average sausage. Baked beans were great! Get rid of the hash browns, not part of a full English, and do some mushrooms! Also, I had half a grilled tomato! What happened to the other half??? Given the location, surely it's crying out for a menu which boasts nearly all locally sourced produce. This place could be amazing, but at the moment it's just OK. Good luck, Jay.
