Service
Pros:

"Every single member of staff that dealt with us couldn't do enough. Polite, friendly and professional."
"Staff where attentive and friendly."
"The service was very good, efficient but with a smile and humour."
Cons:
"Their poor communication led us to believe we could just drive 20 minutes and we would be served good food but when we got there, they just didn't care."
"Drinks Service very slow waited 18 minutes for drinks to arrive after ordering."
"By the time we got there our young children were very thirsty but on ordering a drink we were told, in a rude passive-aggressive manner, that they would not serve us as they were busy."
"One member of staff ran after us to the car park and clumsily accused us of leaving rubbish in the pub."
"The staff seem like headless chickens and to be pushed off our table by a relative of the pub tells me a lot about the management too."
"Service was slow and one of the party didn't get his desert until everyone else had finished."
"Dog friendly pubs need to train their staff to have a keen eye on the culprits and also clean areas up before new customers arrive."
Ambience & Location
Pros:

"Really nice countryside pub in lovely surroundings."
"The cricket inn is located in picturesque surroundings, well worth a visit."
"The location is beautiful."
"Great location and atmosphere."
"Lovely pub nestled in the Sheffield countryside."
"It's a lovely location."
Cons:
"It's the only fireworks display I've been to where people were actually booing at the end."
"Wasps nest outside the window next to our table so spent the afternoon swatting wasps."
"One issue they need to sort is the back door leads into the eating area and people use it as a thoroughfare, drafty in winter and generally irritating when eating."
"Main reason for 3 stars is the dog muck in the beer garden next to our table, which we had to pick up!"
"They've squeezed the bar down to an afterthought so it's not the best place to go for a pint."
"Events like the fireworks display just come across as pure profiteering. Disgusted."
"Upon arriving (at our booking time), we were made to wait in a narrow corridor beside the toilets for 10 minutes."
Value
Pros:
"Prices are reasonable for what is received."

"We all had the festive menu, which was a welcome drink then 5 courses finishing with tea or coffee for the very reasonable price of £28."
"Pie & Half a pint for £13) and it was lovely."
Cons:
"Overall, I think it is fair to say that the food and drinks are overpriced for what you get."
"Thornbridge ale is very nice don't get me wrong but in my opinion it's not '£4 a pint' nice."
"I was surprised when 2 average burgers and chips, and 2 drinks totalled £52."
"The rest of the food was nice but not worthy of the price £26 for lamb kebab in a pub!!"
"They even have the nerve to add a 10% service charge for bog standard pub service!"
"I'm still slightly reeling from the price of soda and tea, hence the three stars. It was £10 for a coke, a lime/soda, and a pot of tea for two!"
"The food was nice but overpriced at £16 for a Sunday roast."
