Part of village life in Clavering for generations, The Cricketers is a relaxed pub with rooms where good food, good company and a warm welcome come naturally. Whether you’re joining us for lunch, dinner, a celebration or an overnight stay, it’s a place that’s easy to settle into.
Food sits at the heart of The Cricketers. Our menus bring together familiar pub favourites, seasonal specials and generous Sunday roasts, all served in a relaxed setting that’s made for catching up with friends and family. Whether you’re joining us for a midweek supper, lunch or a special occasion, you’ll find dishes that are worth settling in for, alongside a changing selection of favourites.
Our 22 bedrooms offer a comfortable retreat in the heart of the Essex countryside. Full of character, each room has its own individual style, offering comfort with a touch of countryside charm. After a restful night’s sleep, join us in the pub for breakfast before exploring nearby Saffron Walden, the surrounding villages and the countryside beyond.
The bar is at the centre of village life here at The Cricketers. Alongside local ales and carefully kept draught beers, you’ll find a thoughtfully chosen wine list, classic spirits and seasonal drinks worth sharing. Whether you’re meeting friends for a drink, enjoying a pre-dinner aperitif or settling in for the evening, it’s the kind of place that’s easy to return to time and again.
The Cricketers is an ideal base for exploring the Saffron Walden and the Essex countryside. Discover historic market towns, scenic walking routes, independent shops and picturesque villages, before returning to the comfort of the pub for good food, a drink by the bar and a relaxed evening with us.
