Why our afternoon tea is the perfect way to spend your afternoon
There’s something undeniably delightful about taking time out of your day to enjoy afternoon tea. And here at The Cricketers on the Green in Pirbright, we’ve created the perfect afternoon escape for those who appreciate a touch of elegance with a warm, cosy atmosphere. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to unwind in the heart of Surrey, our afternoon tea is a treat that combines the finest flavours with the welcoming charm of our village pub. Here's why our afternoon tea is the perfect way to spend your afternoon.
A Taste of Tradition, Elevated
When it comes to afternoon tea, we do things properly – but with our own little twist. We know how important it is to get the classics just right, so we’ve taken care to ensure every item on our afternoon tea menu is bursting with flavour and made from the finest ingredients.
Imagine biting into one of our freshly baked scones, still warm from the oven, slathered with rich clotted cream and tangy jam. There’s nothing quite like that satisfying mix of textures and tastes to make you feel cosy and content. Indulge in a range of delicious sweet treats that will have your taste buds dancing, from rich red velvet cake and zesty lemon drizzle to the perfect balance of carrot and ginger cake and, of course, our irresistible chocolate éclairs. Each dessert is a little bite of heaven, handcrafted by our talented chefs.
On the savoury side, we offer a selection of finger sandwiches. Whether you fancy heritage tomato, avocado, and basil, the smoky goodness of Scottish salmon with a hint of horseradish, or the classic roast British beef with grain mustard, there’s something for everyone. Every bite is crafted to perfection, ensuring that your afternoon tea experience is as delectable as it is relaxing.
A Relaxing Setting in Pirbright
Nestled on the village green in Pirbright, The Cricketers offers the perfect setting for an afternoon of relaxation. Picture yourself settling into one of our cosy corners by a roaring fire or taking in the views of our spacious, contemporary dining area. We’ve created a space that’s as welcoming as it is charming, where you can escape the hustle and bustle and simply unwind.
If you’re looking for a little fresh air, why not enjoy your tea outside? Our outdoor seating is ideal for those warmer days when a bit of sunshine adds an extra touch of joy to the occasion. Whether you’re catching up with friends, celebrating a special day, or just treating yourself, our pub offers the ideal backdrop to make your afternoon truly special.
A Wide Selection of Teas
What would afternoon tea be without the perfect brew? We’ve got you covered with a wide range of teas to suit every taste. Whether you’re a traditionalist who enjoys a classic English Breakfast or someone with a more adventurous palate looking for something like a fragrant Earl Grey or a zesty lemon infusion, our selection of teas is designed to complement the flavours of your meal. And if tea’s not your thing? We’ve got that sorted, too. Why not add a bit of sparkle to your afternoon with a glass of Belstar Prosecco or some bubbly Pommery Brut? We even have an alcohol-free sparkling option with Wild Child’s Wild Idol, perfect for those who want to enjoy the bubbles without the booze.
No matter what you choose, your afternoon tea at The Cricketers can be as traditional or as indulgent as you like. After all, it’s your special moment – why not make it sparkle?
