The Heart Of Easton, Winchester
Welcome to The Cricketers Inn, Easton — a proper Hampshire village pub on the outskirts of Winchester, known for good food, genuine hospitality, and a warm welcome. Settle into the comfort of a real country pub, with seasonal cooking, well-kept local ales, and an easy, relaxed atmosphere that makes it a place people return to time and again.
The Cricketers has long been a place where people come together — for a quiet drink, a well-cooked meal, or time spent around the table with friends and family. Our focus is simple: quality ingredients, thoughtful cooking and service that feels natural and unforced. Upstairs, our small collection of cosy rooms offers a relaxed place to stay for those visiting the area.
Whether you’re stopping in for a quiet drink, planning a meal with friends, or staying a little longer, you’ll find honest flavours, friendly faces, and a pub that feels welcoming throughout the year.
Wine & Dine
Good food, cooked with care, in the heart of the Itchen Valley.
Some of the best moments happen around a table. A leisurely lunch after a morning walk, supper with friends, or a family gathering that calls for another bottle and a little more time.
At The Cricketers, our approach to food is simple: quality ingredients, fresh cooking and care in the details. From familiar pub favourites to dishes that follow the seasons, we cook food we’re proud to serve and look forward to sharing.
We’re a family-run pub, and looking after people is at the heart of what we do. Come for a favourite dish, try something new, or settle in over a glass of wine. Whatever brings you to our table, we’ll make you feel welcome.
Stay & Unwind
Make yourself at home in one of our three comfortable rooms above the pub. With Easton on the doorstep and Winchester a short drive away, The Cricketers is a welcoming base for countryside walks, a weekend exploring or a night away.
Spend the day as you please, then join us downstairs for a freshly cooked supper and a drink before heading up to bed. As a family-run village pub, we take care over the little things that make a stay feel welcoming, from a comfortable room to a friendly face when you arrive.
Steak Night at The Cricketers
Every Wednesday, settle in for two 28-day aged British sirloin steaks and a bottle of wine for £50. Good beef, cooked with care, and an evening worth making time for.
Make it your own with a ribeye upgrade, or pre-order something special—from your favourite cut in your preferred size to a tomahawk or chateaubriand to share. Whether you’re joining us for a midweek supper or marking an occasion, we’ll help you find your perfect steak.
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.
