Best Gastro Pubs in Tallawong

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas Lunch for two.

Great options and variety with starters, good main dish options, excellent own-brews too. With the team being warm and hospitable, what’s not to like here?

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at the Royal Cricketers Arms numerous times, and the YFD (Your Funeral Director) Christmas Gathering was no exception to its charm. The historic venue always provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the festive touches added an extra special vibe to the event. However, during the Christmas season, it would be great to see table service offered, especially for group gatherings, as it enhances the experience and makes it feel more seamless. Additionally, expanding the menu to include more vegetarian and pescatarian options would be a thoughtful touch, accommodating a wider range of dietary preferences. On a brighter note, the fantastic news that cash payments are once again accepted was much appreciated! Overall, a lovely gathering, and I look forward to seeing the venue continue to grow and improve its offerings in the future. 🎄✨

The menu has changed since our last visit, two of us decided to order the fish and chips as sounded yummy with the mushy peas. Both received generous serves however 2 of the 3 fish fillets on each plate were like rubber, and the mushy peas were served cold. Avoid this one. Otherwise the venue is good for a group and the drinks service was great.

On a warm evening this is a magical bar. The view as the sun sets is Insta worthy. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service good. Note this bar doesn't open, without notice in inclement weather.
