Located on picturesque Penny Lane in Totley, Sheffield, our pub takes its name from the cricket pitch we overlook which is set amongst a backdrop of the stunning Blacka Moor.
Dating back to the 18th century, expect a warm welcome at The Cricket Inn where you will find exceptional local and seasonal food, Thornbridge beers, a cosy spot by the open fires in winter, or a sunny bench outside in the summer.
Whatever the weather, expect an exceptional location, hearty flavoursome food, and a very warm welcome.
Choose from our a la carte menu Monday to Saturday, which is subject to change with the seasons, or enjoy our popular roasts on a Sunday, and of course the little ones are well catered for with our kids’ menu. In the summer you may find that our garden kitchen is open serving dirty dogs and pizzas (keep an eye on social media to see when this is open). We also have a BBQ menu available for outdoor parties where you can make use of our stretch tent!
We welcome muddy boots, kids and dogs - the pub is popular with local walkers and cyclists who are in need of liquid refreshment after enjoying the surrounding countryside!.

I was kindly invited to try their Pie Tuesday (Pie & Half a pint for £13) and it was lovely. We were warmly welcomed and showed to our table in the beautiful dining area which had subtle autumnal décor and felt cosy. The food we enjoyed was beautiful and well worth the 40 minutes drive for us. The Pie menu is concise offering a meat, fish or vegetable pie each coming with potatoes, and half a pint of a Thornbridge beer. There is a small selection of vegetables you can add at an extra cost also. The full menu is still available Tuesdays, but we just decided to go all in and stick to the pies. We enjoyed; Beef Shin & Potato Thornbridge Ale Pie with roast potatoes – proper chunks of juicy beef, a rich casing of pastry and lots of gravy. The roasties were crispy too – a really good dish and filling as it is. Fisherman’s Pie with salmon, haddock, tuna, monkfish, cod, cheddar mash & buttered greens – so many chunks of tasty fish, the mash was gorgeous and smooth and the greens were paired well with the dish so it wasn’t too rich. Halves of Jaipur – one of our favourites Thornbridge beers. Side of Roast Mushrooms & Carrots – a nice addition and my only feedback is that we thought for one carrot and one flat cap mushroom, the price didn’t reflect the side dish well compared to how generously priced the deal was. Everything we ate was delicious and it was clear that quality ingredients were used and that the food is made with passion here. The selection of pie flavours is fairly limited. Understandably the chef wants to focus on the quality of deliverance by keeping this concise, however I hope the flavour selection expands over time should Pie Tuesdays be a hit, which we feel it will! A great meal and evening here.
Had a wonderful dinner date. Fried calamari was amazing. Fettuccine was fresh and delicious. Steak wasn't the best quality but was OK. It was a wonderful place outside the restaurant as well with plenty of parking, vegetable garden. Overall, it was a wonderful evening
So disappointing to write this, I used to absolutely love it here but it's really changed over the years. This photo is a vegetarian Sunday roast and it just wasn't good enough. They did come over and tell us that they had run out of Yorkshire puddings but said they would give us a little something extra. I'm not sure what the extra was. The roast veg was very tough and tasted stale. The staff were very friendly as always but the food quantity/quality for the price was way off today.
Former favourite but not been for a while. Turned up without booking at noon on Sunday but there was plenty of space and we were served quickly. Went for the beef shin & potato pie and was relieved to see a proper pie (with sides) arrive. This was up there with best pies I’ve ever had and clearly a lot of effort goes into the food. With more gravy and seasoning we could have been looking a one of the best pie dishes around but still - this was top quality. The side order of cauliflower cheese was also excellent. Beer was a quaffable bitter by nearby Thornbridge brewery in Bakewell. This place has been knocking out quality food for years now and is well worth a trip out to. A walk around nearby Blackamoor Nature Reserve is also a must.
Beautiful meal, tasty and elaborated pub food. The place is cozy and the service was lovely. We will come back for sure.
