The Cricketers Arms - Sandwell

Not been for a few yrs, still excellent service and food. Highly recommend this place. Very clean, freshly cooked food to order. Just perfect.

A family member had here recommended to them so along we went to give it a go. First impressions were where do we park? No car park that we could see for the pub but fortunately had arrived at 6 and was able to park outside some houses. (Feel for the people that live there mind as when we left the street was rammed! Went inside and found a great set up with a square bar that you ordered food and drinks from. Lots of large booth seating and the hugest amount of TVs I had seen. All playing the same things though…not sure if this is changed if requested. Quite noisy but it was fine. We were sat at a long table due to the number of us. Ordered drinks which were a fair price, then food which again was largely a fair price. Food came about 20 mins later and was delicious. Between us we had a range of meals, steaks, mixed grills (both the mighty and Indian ones , lamb, kids meals, curry. Everyone enjoyed their food! Chips were over cooked for some portions and probably need to be less chunky with certain foods. Puddings were ok, ice cream was extremely crystallised and not enjoyable. But puddings were a great price at only £3.50 each!! Service was good overall and friendly. Only one girl waiting on tables most of the time we were there…she walked some miles! Could possibly do with more help so that the wait for everyone getting their meals together is reduced. Only things I would say needs really looking at are obviously the ice cream but also the forks! They were ‘bendy’ and moved when trying to cut into food rather than feeling stable. Needs to be sturdier. Also, kids had the same steak knife cutlery as the table was prelaid. Overall a great recommendation given to us, and would return.

Id arrived at the pub via a long walk on penines way. It was such a lovely place to be at and the bartnender who was on her own coped excellently with all the customers including myself. I really enjoy the homely feel at this place, the furnishings are excellent at antique level and it is really worth the price. Outside tv is flawless i mean who even has that in there pub, and yes weather protetected. Seem a varierty of customers and im really suprised its not as full as it it. Thanks for the good time Shout out the the woman at the bar its rare.to see just one person at such a busy pub

Worst mixed grill Iv ever had £22 he should wear a mask next time he robs someone. Partner had a steak which was cooked ok but had no flavour won’t be visiting again !

Great food, the wife is gluten free and they catered really well for this, chef came and had a chat with us to make sure they were catering for our needs!!! Will definitely be returning
