The Cricketers on The Green North Walsham | AA Rosette Norfolk Dining

The Seasonal Kitchen

At The Cricketers on The Green in North Walsham, Norfolk pub cuisine centers on a rotating roster designed by chefs Jake Wragg and Richard Hart. Their tight menus shift with the harvest rather than relying on fixed classics. This practical approach to seasonal British cooking recently earned the kitchen an AA Rosette for culinary excellence.

Signature Plates

Lunch service highlights Cromer crab salad paired with charred lemon and house coleslaw. Evening tables frequently order the chargrilled mackerel served alongside sweet beetroot and red onion. Sunday roasts remain a steady fixture, featuring Hevingham reared beef with Ferndale Farm potatoes and house Yorkshire puddings. The pastry list stays deliberately fluid across our village pub dining, often presenting lemon posset or salted caramel roulade depending on what arrives fresh that morning.

The Vaulted Dining Room

The main eating space sits directly off the expansive village green in Aldborough. The room evolved from a humble storeroom and occasional boxing ring into a bright hall defined by a high vaulted ceiling. Julie and Kevin shaped the interior to feel genuinely cozy rather than overly formal. Large windows frame the surrounding footpaths while the layout keeps quiet conversations comfortably separated from the bar flow.
