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.
EASTER SUNDAY
Join us this Easter Sunday for a proper roast, shared around the table with family and friends. From crisp potatoes to rich gravy, it’s everything you’d hope for — done properly.
We’d love to welcome you this Easter Sunday — tables are filling steadily, so do book to join us.
JOIN OUR TEAM
We’re always on the lookout for good people to join our small, hands-on team at The Cricketers. We’re a village pub at heart, focused on doing things properly — good food cooked from scratch, a busy bar, and a place that feels warm, welcoming and somewhere people genuinely want to spend time. It’s a small team here, which means everyone plays a real part in how the pub runs day to day, working together and taking pride in what we do.
Experience is helpful, but attitude matters more. We’re looking for people who turn up, get stuck in and are easy to work alongside. Whether you’ve worked in hospitality for years or are just getting started, we offer a supportive environment where you can learn, grow and become a proper part of the team. If you like the idea of working somewhere more personal, where what you do actually matters, take a look at our current roles and get in touch.

Book your stay and experience the easy charm and character of a proper country pub.
Your Steak. Your Way
Steak Night at The Cricketers
Every Wednesday, enjoy a simple but generous offer built around well-sourced, dry-aged British beef and a relaxed village pub atmosphere. For £50, you’ll receive two 38-day aged sirloin steaks and a bottle of wine.
If you’d like something different, you can tailor your evening to suit you. Choose to upgrade to ribeye or take things a step further and pre-order the exact cut and size you want, from fillet to T-bone, tomahawk, or a sharing chateaubriand. Choose your steak, cooked your way.
It’s an evening built around quality, value and choice, giving you the freedom to enjoy steak the way you like it.
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.
