About The Cricketers

Expect a bit of a buzz here rather than hushed dining, which is good news when your toddler is having a loud moment — nobody will be looking round. There are high chairs and a children's menu, so you can arrive without a plan and still get everyone fed, and gluten-free options mean one less phone call ahead if someone in the family needs them. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when little ones need to wriggle. Worth booking a table.
