A quintessential village pub and restaurant nestled in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. We overlook an expansive village green in beautiful Aldborough.

A true destination pub, we love our doggy visitors and want them to be as welcomed as their hoomans, treats are dispensed at will and water bowls are always on hand.

The only real doggy restriction is in our upstairs dinning room, however at tables downstairs, outside and in the bar area feel free to bring your dog to The Cricketers. If you’re booking for lunch or dinner please mention you’re bringing your dog and we’ll try and sort an ideal table.

Opening hours
Bar – Monday – Sunday 12noon to 11pm
Lunch – Wednesday – Saturday 12noon to 2.30pm
Dinner – Wednesday – Saturday 6pm to 8.30pm
Sunday lunch – 12noon to 3.30pm

As per all listings on Dog Friendly Norfolk, we accept well behaved dogs.

    Lovely pub great choice of beer. Edit: lovely meal tonight, Lobster Risotto was fabulous. As we're the lemon cheesecake and rum and raisin ice cream. Free spirit at the end of the meal was a nice bonus, pity the cricketers last night drank all the good whisky and I had to put up with Famous Grouse! Still enjoyed it

    We went with another couple on a Thursday evening and were immediately struck by the friendly atmosphere and characterful interior of this cheering establishment. Kent and Julie run a very nice pub, helped on the evening we were there by an efficient bar lady. The menu is thankfully short, imaginative and enticing. When the meals arrived they had been cooked with care and presented with pride. The kitchen uses fresh local produce, cooked to order. The results are very tasty and enjoyable dishes. It's certainly worth a detour to find such a nice pub...excellent atmosphere, good range of beers, fine food and good service. Highly recommended.

    We went there last night, they were able to accommodate 13 of us fairly last minute which in itself was wonderful. The atmosphere is warm and cosy and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier, especially the landlord. The menu is limited but the food was high quality: freshly made and delicious. The kids meals were very generous portions. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay for dessert as I’m sure we missed out on some wonderful puddings. Would highly recommend.
