Best Beer Gardens in Burnham-on-Crouch

Lovely cosy restaurant, delicious food and helpful attentive staff. Will definitely be revisiting!

Excellent as always.. delicious ham hock. Would highly recommend.

Very pleasant waitress, wonderful roast, good old New Flying Horse.

My wife had previously been with some friends and was very impressed on all fronts. As a consequence we met friends at The Cricketers for lunch. We sat in the window in the Library as requested when we booked. So a splendid location, great views over the green, very attentive but certainly not intrusive staff and a seriously good lunch. We choose Cumberland Sausage and mash (x2), fish and chips and a cheese & ham toasted sandwich with all the trimmings. The sausage and mash was my wife’s recommendation from her previous visit and most definitely lived up to expectations - the onion gravy, of which there was plenty, made the dish. In all it was served with a selection of well-cooked seasonal vegetables - six different ones! The fish and chips was equally well received and our friend who, not being overly hungry, opted for the toasted sandwich described it as the ‘best’ she had had! Desserts did not disappoint either. The caramelised sugar topping to the creme brûlée was fantastic, the sticky toffee pudding was very tasty and light with plenty of sauce (I would have preferred an extra scoop of ice cream but that was down to me for not asking!!!) The banoffee pie was very well received. Our less hungry friend opted for a floater coffee rather than a dessert and was exceptionally pleased to find it came topped with real cream rather than the ‘squirts’ kind. All in all a very special experience and one which we will very soon repeat.
