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.

High Street pub which has recently started attracting a wider range of clientele thanks to it's food and family orientation. Refurbishment has much improved the ambience of the place too. GK pub but beer appears well-kept and their move with the times to attract a wider audience should be applauded.
