The Cricketers Arms, Trinity Way, West Bromwich

Very disappointed! After visiting the cricketers for the first time in 18months I was disappointed with the change. They have cellotaped the new menu over the old old one. YoU can see the old menu under the new one and see that you are bieng charged extra??? No adequate explanation for this. No friendly atmosphere, customer service was non existent. The bar seemed buzzing with a good vibe. All in all would never eat there. But would enjoy a beer in the bar

Good news folks , the cricketers arms is under new management, higher quality service and lots more to come , food is better so come and try us out .

This is a detached Victorian pub with patio area, left isolated as a product of its time in a landscape that has massively changed. The pub is in cream render, with black paintwork on the pediments over the old entrances, that give some decorative feature. It is an elongated cottage styled pub, possibly incorporating building next door (shown by the bowing in the shape of the building, perhaps) - there is now a low-level extension to the side. The interior has a couple of rooms. The extension is for the dining room, which is quite narrow, and decorated with a few Baggies floags. The food prices are very reasonable and they do 16, 32 and 50oz rump steaks - i must go back and try one (16oz of course!). The main room is an L-shape, more or less. It is in coffee and cream, with a white ceiling and some blue to go with the odd Baggies picture. The seats have been re-covered in brown and look tidy, as do the bogs now (see review below)! There is a dart board and a TV was showing motor racing. The service was friendly and it was populated by friendly locals. The music was 60s based. Beer; usual tap stuff, with a decent enough Banks's MILD. One handpull, with Marston's EPA on. A nice little place, tidy, with a real ale, keg MILD and a great menu - i will return to try the steaks! Worth a visit.
