Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Cricketers

Semi-traditional Greene King pub / restaurant on the main crossroads with mock Tudor facades on both sides, but set back from the road by a small front patio garden so not obviously on a corner once inside. Partly opened out with various seating and dining areas, but all lacking any character this place might once have had. Rocking Rudolph (£4.90) and a Lilley's cider available from the three handpumps.

A large, modernised, open plan pub with numerous areas and much advertising of food, which seems to have displaced any pub games or other activity. Garden area at rear, as well as some tables at the front. Ale wise, offered GK IPA, Abbot and Ruddles at time of visit, and the barman even checked the IPA was ok before serving it, which is commendable if rare (also Cask Marque accredited).

Strongers . left this review about The Cricketers

The Cricketers is a large open plan Greene King pub on Rainham High Street. There is lots of seating out the front and at the rear there is some covered seating that leads to a decked beer garden.
The bar runs along the left hand wall where standard draught products are available alongside St Edmunds, GK IPA and Abbot. During my 18:00 Monday evening visit I decided to take advantage of the cheap food and purchased a pint and a burger with chips for £7. I found the pub co food to be perfectly acceptable and good value for the price.
There are plasma screens dotted throughout the pub and muted Sky Sports News was being shown so the football must be shown here.

I found the service to be very good, but this place is a little too bright, big and open plan for my liking. That said, I would still pop back in if passing for another meat burger.
