Steve of N21 left this review about Jolly Cricketers

Noticed that the Jolly Cricketers had received the award from Chiltern District Council for pub of the year and as Seer Green is on my rat run through the Chalfont's from office to home when the western section of the M25 is misbehaving, I decided to pop in and have a look.
The Jolly Cricketers is a decent enough looking two bar pub on the main Chalfont Road through the village of Seer Green, with a small but pleasant garden area out the back supporting several umbrella bench seats.
It looks like it used to be the standard Public / Saloon bar set up , but now the smaller bar to the right is set up as a dining area , and the larger left side bar is the more standard pub drinking area. It is cleanly decorated to a wood floor with wooden bench seating either side of a large central fire place. It still retains some of the public bar feel with cricketing paraphernalia on the walls and a dart board in the corner, although this appeared to be more for decoration rather than use.
Apparently it has undergone new ownership in the last year and it is now a Free House and advertised weekly changing real ales from local breweries. It has four handpumps, three for local brewery ales as advertise and a fourth for Cider. The beers on during my visit were Rebellion IPA, Vale Brewery VPA, and Chiltern Ale from the Chiltern Brewery. I tried the Chiltern ale and the Vale Brewery VPA, both of which were very well kept. Wasn't too enamoured with the Chiltern Ale but the VPA was an excellent hoppy golden ale for a summers evening.
I found the Jolly Cricketers to be a very good village pub
