The Cricketers On The Green Public House Aldborough North Norfolk

‘The Cricketers On The Green’ at Aldborough North Norfolk

I have known this public house in the village of Aldborough in North Norfolk since I was a teenager. Previously called The Black Boys, a name change has been made to The Cricketers On The Green. That is not the only change, as the pub has recently been transformed into an attractive venue that serves high-quality meals. The welcome is warm, and a wide choice of beers and wines is available.

The head chef, Jake Wragg, certainly knows his craft, and the sea bass I was served was cooked to perfection.

From the website: “Chef Jake and his team delight diners from near and far with an array of freshly prepared, innovative dishes. Embracing the changing seasons, our menu evolves monthly, ensuring that we offer the finest flavours and ingredients Norfolk has to offer.”

The Dun Cow public house signSalthouse Dun Cow in North Norfolk is a bit special. Situated alongside the A149 coast road the public house is beside the village green. The interior is traditional in design with scrubbed table tops and warming fires for when the cold easterlies come in off the North Sea.

Due to the present COVID-19 situation it is necessary to book a table.

The food is of a very high standard.

Of the many eateries in Wells in North Norfolk, The Globe Inn comes out a clear winner for me. The recent refurbishment has been a great success and this is a comfortable and relaxing place to dine. The menu is varied, and The Globe serves excellently prepared and presented food made with locally sourced produce. Try The Globe when you are next in Wells – it must rate as one of the best North Norfolk pubs.
