About the Pub
Attractive traditional village pub with a large open fire, a single bar and several seating areas. Traditional pub games available in the evenings. As late as 1975 the pub did not have a bar and as you walked in to the right was a shop. At that time is was run by two ladies. Quiz night every Thursday 20:30. No food at present.
Historic Interest
The Cricketers has been an ale house since around 1850 at which time it was called �The Live and Let Live�. The licence was obtained by William Barber, a carpenter by trade, on this newly built cottage. In 1851 George Oliver, a brewer in Baldock took a mortgage on the property. In 1864 the property was taken over by the Hitchin brewer Samuel Lucas, after which it was known as �The Cricketers�
