About

The Cricketers Arms is an award‑winning country pub and boutique hotel nestled in the picturesque village of Rickling Green, Essex. With 10 individually‑designed ensuite rooms, it offers the perfect blend of cosy hospitality and modern comfort for business travelers, families and wedding guests alike. The on‑site restaurant, helmed by head chef Harry Kodagoda, serves seasonal menus crafted from local ingredients – from a hearty full‑English breakfast to a refined dinner list that even earned a 1 AA Rosette. Outdoor al‑fresco dining overlooks the cricket green, and the historic oak‑beamed bar provides a relaxed setting for a pint or wine. A full range of events, including New Year’s Eve dinner parties, Santa brunches and charity quizzes, keeps the atmosphere lively throughout the year. With free parking and easy access to Stansted Airport, The Cricketers Arms is the ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside or hosting memorable celebrations.
