The Cricketers Inn, Gravesend

As the name suggests, this large Whiting & Hammond dining pub overlooks the pitch on the triangular village green. The multi-room, slightly split-level interior has a variety of seating / dining areas all with the usual melange of old pictures and other faux-traditional features, and was also getting into the Christmas spirit a month early. However, three of the five handpumps were thankfully in use, with Landlord, London Pride and the more local Friars Ale from Canterbury Ales (£4.80) available. Also has a sizeable patio beer garden at the back.
