Cricketers - Enfield

We walked in on a Friday night for some drinks, first time we've visited here, there is a nice warm welcoming feeling when you walk through the doors. We walked up to the bar and the staff member that served us wasn't welcoming at all, was borderline rude in fact, we got our drinks and sat outside as it was quite busy inside, we thought we would leave and go somewhere else however we brought our empty glasses to the bar and tried to say bye/thanks to the same member of staff but she gave zero eye contact or appreciation for our custom. Maybe it was just a one off and maybe not all the staff are like that, we will give this place another chance in the future hoping it will be a better experience as i liked the feeling of it there and the food looked ok too.

Unfortunately my husband and I had a very mediocre Sunday lunch yesterday. Very pleasant governor but food very poor. We had the small plate which was too small for the amount of food on it. The crackling was soggy and tough. The yorkshire pudding was plonked on top of all the food with gravy poured all over it making it look like a wet floor mop.Meal fairly tasty but being British we did,nt complain. No return I am afraid. Valerie

Food is OK, chilled white wine isn 't chilled enough. Busy pub in a lovely area...main issue is the staff...they are all fairly officious and terse...except one young lady behind the bar who was smiley and great. When you have finished eating your plate is whipped away in a nano second without any interaction. I did try and said to the guy who took my starter plate.... 'really enjoyed that ' I said....the response was 'order some more then '. Nice. How about 'Glad you enjoyed it will you be ordering a main course 'The couple and I on the next table giggled as their plates were whisked away whilst they we still chewing there last mouthful. I know this is a chain and therefore the staff probably aren 't invested in the business bit think it could be a much better experience. Probably being a bit hard on the staff as this is obviously a management problem...or lack of it.l

Great Sunday lunch gets busy so worth ordering in advance. Not too many vegetarian options on Sunday lunch but lush regardless!!

We had 20 in our party for Sunday lunch seated in the raised area. Lots of different things ordered from the Sunday menu we supplied a pre-order to assist the pub team all items delivered by smiling attentive staff. Looking at the empty plates after ,everybody enjoyed the traditional pub food.
