The Cricketers

The Cricketers is one of the stronger Woking-area pub picks because it does the broad-appeal village-pub brief properly. In Horsell, it combines a good-sized garden, a family-friendly setup and an all-day food offer that makes it useful for everything from easy lunches to larger get-togethers.\n\nIt also has a bit more going on than a standard food-led pub, with charity quiz nights, occasional live music and a location that suits dog walks thanks to Horsell Common nearby. That helps it feel like a real local fixture rather than a generic place to book lunch.\n\nFor family-friendly pub recommendations around Woking, it deserves to be near the top of the list.
