The Heart Of Easton
Welcome to The Cricketers Inn, Easton — a proper Hampshire village pub where good food, genuine hospitality, and a warm welcome sit at the heart of what we do. Settle into the comfort of a real country pub, with hearty seasonal dishes, well-kept drinks, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.
The Cricketers has long been a favourite meeting place in Easton — a spot to catch up over a pint, enjoy generous plates of freshly prepared food, or unwind upstairs in one of our cosy rooms. Today, we continue that tradition with a focus on quality ingredients, thoughtful cooking, and the simple pleasure of sharing great food in good company.
Whether you’re joining us for a midweek supper, a Sunday roast, a festive celebration, or a stay in the heart of the countryside, you’ll find honest flavours, warm hospitality, and a pub that feels like home.
Ride to Remembrance
We’re pleased to share that this year’s Ride to Remembrance raised £4,500 for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. Thank you to everyone who rode, donated, sponsored, volunteered and cheered from the bar. What began as a simple idea — a continuous relay on one Zwift bike in the pub — became a calm, determined effort that honoured those who have served while bringing our community together.
Over four days the relay covered 1,761 km with 26,236 m of climbing. For context, that’s roughly one and a quarter times the length of Britain from Land’s End to John o’ Groats, with nearly three Everests of ascent. Riders ranged from 9 to 85 years old, each taking a 30-minute turn as the smart trainer quietly matched the hills and descents of Zwift’s virtual routes. Early mornings were reflective; evenings were lively; and every half hour kept the wheels turning.
Funds raised online will support the national Poppy Appeal, while in-pub card and cash donations go to the RBL Itchen Valley branch. Across the first two editions of Ride to Remembrance, our village has now contributed £8,000 in total — a result made possible by countless small acts of generosity, time and encouragement.
Escape to the countryside and enjoy a warm, welcoming stay in our cozy letting rooms. Whether you’re visiting for a relaxing getaway or just passing through, our charming pub offers a home away from home, with comfortable rooms, great food, and friendly hospitality.
Book your stay today and experience the perfect blend of comfort and character.!
LIVE SPORT
We’re proud to be the only pub in the Itchen Valley showing live sport, bringing you the best action from the Premier League, Formula One, PDC Darts, Tennis, Cricket, Golf, and more. Whether it’s a tense final, a rugby international, or a Sunday afternoon at the Grand Prix, you can enjoy the game in a warm, welcoming village pub atmosphere.
We’re not a loud sports bar, but a place where you can relax with great food and a pint while keeping up with the action. Sport will primarily be shown at one end of the pub, ensuring that whether you’re here for the game or a quiet drink, there’s space for everyone to enjoy.
