Stopped here on the way back, after visiting our daughter in chelmsford, quite busy, a traditional pub menu, nothing outstanding, just the run of the mill, I had ham egg and chips, my husband had scampi and chips, both were okay and reasonably priced, it was a bit slow, but other than that adequate

It must be 40 years since we last visited the Prince of Wales, when my cousin lived a few doors away. Very little has changed (which is good), apart from the brewery from Ridley's to Greene King. There's a sensible menu for a pub restaurant and we chose the plaice goujons, served with chips and peas, with a side salad. It arrived hot and in good portions. Service was friendly and we'd be happy to call there again.

Called in for a light lunch after a walk in Writtle forest. My husbands first visit but I've been many times since my parents first brought me here as a child in the 1960's. It hasn't changed much which is why I still love it. Traditional, warm and welcoming. We had a couple of sandwiches for lunch and some good beer. What could be better?

Lovely rural Essex pub, serving a wide selection of beers and wines along with lunch and dinner daily. We pride ourselves on our locally sourced ingredients and suppliers. Dogs welcome!

The cricketers is a borderline quality pub portraying itself as a high quality establishment. The food is average and they have bizarre rules (you're allowed to have a medium or a rare steak, but not a medium rare steak?) Any failings could be forgiven if it wasn't the case that the manager is trying to ruin The Viper; by far and away the best pub in the area. If the manager here has any sense he will reconsider his position.Overall: don't ruin the Viper, sort out your kitchen attitude, and get some better beers.Dear Phoebe R, We were saddened to see your review, particularly as it is full of inaccuracies. We do not portray ourselves as a high quality establishment but we do however strive to achieve high standards and satisfied customers. Steak can be cooked to order and I don't know why you say otherwise as your comments have been discussed with all serving staff and you were not told that you could not order your steak medium rare. Your reference to The Viper dumbfounds us. How you can rate The Cricketers based upon your opinion and lack of information of the facts is extraordinary and you clearly fail to see the purpose of TripAdvisor in an attempt to affect The Cricketers business. Frankly, we are sick and tired of rumor-mongering and back stabbing. If you had an issue, you should have raised the issue with the manager on the day and not hid cowardly behind your keyboard. The Viper is in a dire state due to mismanagement and is in considerable debt and disrepair. If you want more detail, perhaps you should be brave enough to ask directly. The Cricketers Management

From the impeccable service, to the great daily specials this place never fails. The food is fab. So far beyond 'pub grub'. This is a true foodie pub - even the ham, egg and chips has been elevated to something quite amazing!! We are locals and take The Hoop for granted. We really shouldn't as we are so lucky to have this gem on our doorstep. Cannot recommend enough.Thank you for such a lovely review, I'm very glad that you enjoy the food and continue to return to us on a regular basis, look forward to seeing you in the future.

We came for lunch during the Christmas holidays, as a thank you and break for our relatives after all the Christmas entertaining. Very friendly host who made us welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, all served piping hot and generously portioned, sweets were tasty too. I would definitely go there again when I am over in Essex.

Having read the previous reviews I was looking forward to lunch here - my son was over from Australia and wanted to eat in a counrty pub (which it certainly is)!However, we started with chilli chicken bits which we okish - not crispy, just awash in sweet chilli sauce!To follow we had the mushroooms on brioche which were a bit boring and had a handful of watercress through in!The coq au vin had no real flavour and was at best average with veg (also had handful of watercress!The cheesboard was quite good but they had no ruby port to go with it - which we found a bit strange! and it also came with watercress! (lack of imagination by someone)!Espresso was good!Wouldn't go out of my way (which you have to) in order to go back again!Service was good!
