The Cricketers, Pub & Dining

The Cricketers is a country pub and dining rooms with a large beer garden and outdoor patio dining in the summer.

The pub is a beautifully refurbished and extended early 19th century public house.

We are family friendly and also happy to welcome dogs into our bar and garden areas as we always have a jar of dog treats in the porch.

Whether you want to warm yourself in the sun outside in the summer with a glass of Pimms or enjoy a perfect pint of cask conditioned real ale in front of a real log fire in the winter, the Cricketers is the perfect place for a drink.

If you are looking for a great venue for a family get together, a working lunch, special occasion or a light snack we’d love you to join us.

REVIEW: The Gallery restaurant, West Hampstead - Food Goblin

Opting for the Gallery Fried Chicken, Bourbon BBQ Squid and Lamb Latkes with Caper Mayonnaise, we weren’t disappointed.

The Gallery Fried Chicken is a must: Crispy batter with tender boneless chicken, paired with a whiskey sour which went down a treat.

The drinks menu here is extensive, and presumably one of the main reasons The Gallery brings in the locals evening after evening.

The Gallery boasts a selection of over 100 whiskeys to try, ‘Single malts, blended, smokey, peaty, rich, light, delicate’.

The Gallery is worth a visit or two, or three, if you’re a local, but if you’re ever in the area, be sure to make a stop for a post-dinner cocktail downstairs.

Mr Hanbury's restaurant review

And none is quite so quaint as Mr Hanbury’s Pub, the Oxford branch of the Artist Residence boutique hotel brand – launched in 2006 by entrepreneurs Justin and Charlotte Salisbury, the mini-chain has outposts in Brighton, Cornwall and London.

But what’s important is that it’s not just that the food, the restaurant and five-bedrooms interiors are seriously something to fuss over.

While the restaurant’s interior is made up of velour dusky pink bench seating, dark wooden furniture and bookshelves are dotted with vintage books and succulents, with a bar at one end.

The look has actually been such a hit that it’s prompted the set-up of design studio Salisbury & Co, with a shop on Lots Road in Chelsea – something of a dream location for interior designers.

But now it’s very quickly become a place for locals to eat and drink – a centre of the South Leigh village.

Bistro Mirey: WELCOME!

This is a lovely little French Bistro with a Japanese influence.

The food is good and the service was attentive and welcoming.

It was actually quite quiet when we went and there was only a couple of other tables in but don't let that fool you that the food isn't good!

It's a bit off the beaten track but the chef and manager definitely know what they are doing.... nice seasonal ingredients with a lovely twist.

Plaquemine Lock, London: 'celebration of Louisiana' restaurant review

The chef renowned for his gutsy Italian cooking at Soho’s Bocca di Lupo has chosen to take over a north London pub and turn it into a celebration of the food of the Louisiana basin.

Which is to say the food of New Orleans is about making the best of poverty: there are rugged, gnarly sausages made with belly and loin and eyelid, because none of the pig must be wasted.

The Plaquemine Lock (formally the Prince of Wales pub) is both a love letter to this food and a tribute to his grandmother, Virginia Campbell, who was born into a famous Louisiana family in the town of Plaquemine near Baton Rouge, and who died last year aged 102.

Gumbo, by the cup and bowl, is as it should be: a deep, luscious stew of sausage and chicken, with crawfish added late on so they don’t tense up, in a reassuringly thickened liquor so profound it can give focus to an aimless life.

Over at Bocca di Lupo Kenedy became renowned for his sausage making, and the smoked pork boudin here, served with the nose twitch of pickled okra, is another fine example.

'Enough excitement for a month' – restaurant review

Sanxia Renjia is part of a three-strong group – the others are on Goodge Street in central London and in Bromley, southeast of the capital – celebrating the food of Sichuan and Hubei.

Dinner in a Sichuan restaurant is usually food as action movie.

There is a list headed “Adventurous dishes” which, like the best menu writing, has the quality of exquisite found poetry: there are fried chicken gizzards with wild chilli or boiled pork blood curd Chongqing style; there is Dongpo stewed pig’s joint and hot pepper fried pork tripe.

He insisted that, from this list, I try the dry fried pig’s intestines, with dried chilli and Sichuan peppercorns.

The Red Lion, Soham | Grace Dent's restaurant review | Life and ...

We ate a perfectly fine celeriac soup with a dash of parsley oil and sourdough bread and a decent, slightly oily shepherd’s pie served in a brown ramekin.

The Red Lion is a place to have a nice motor to if you want to entertain a group near Cambridge or Peterborough.

I loved the Red Lion dearly, and for no reason more profound than it’s just a good boozer.

Sixteen years ago, something happened in the town that must make the locals feel it’s the only thing British people will ever associate with Soham, but here is something joyful, warm-hearted and future-facing, and I, for one, support it.
