The Jolly Cricketers
About
The Jolly Cricketers is a celebrated village pub with roots tracing back to 1831, when the Cyster family first built the red‑brick establishment on Chalfont Road. Today it remains a warm, family‑owned landmark, proudly run by the local Lillitou duo since 2008, and is renowned for its friendly atmosphere, award‑winning food and genuine community feel. From 12 pm to 2:30 pm we serve a hearty lunch menu featuring classic British dishes, seasonal ingredients and a carefully curated wine list alongside three local real ales. The evening shift takes place between 6 pm and 9 pm and showcases the pub’s famed “Monday to Thursday” weekday specials, as well as Sunday roasts. Book a table online or by phone at 01494 676308 – bookings are highly recommended during peak weekends and for special events such as the famed Sean’s Legendary Pub Quiz. The pub’s patio and beer garden offer a relaxed setting for dog‑owners (well‑behaved dogs are welcome on leads) and guests can also enjoy the cozy fire‑pit area or a beer‑garden marquee. The Jolly Cricketers proudly holds Cask Marque accreditation, a testament to its quality real ales and responsibly sourced beer selection. A quintessential English village pub, The Jolly Cricketers combines historic charm, hearty food, an award‑winning drink program and a welcoming community vibe – making it the perfect stop for locals, tourists and dog‑loving visitors alike.
