The Crickets in Thatcham has not stopped welcoming in members of the local community since reopening its doors towards the end of last year following a £196,000 investment by Craft Union Pub Company.

More recently, Operator Matt and the pub team welcomed MP for Newbury, Laura Farris to show her around the new-look pub and to find out more about its community involvement and business operations.

The Crickets’ investment saw changes made both to the interior and exterior of the pub, introducing its new sports offering and amazing drinks menu. Matt commented: “It was a pleasure to show Ms Farris around and hear how delighted she was with the look and feel of the pub, and how much she loved our garden area. Laura also mentioned that she was pleased to see how well the Crickets is performing within the community.”

During Laura and Matt’s conversation, they were able to talk more about how everyone in the Thatcham area is warmly welcomed and involved with the pub. “I expressed to Laura how much the team and I love seeing returning and new faces at the pub, and the different age groups who come in and spend time with us” added Matt. The investment enhanced the pub’s interior, making it a more warm and friendly environment with a fresh new look. Matt concluded: “We see more and more locals come into the pub for a drink and our weekly entertainment, and it is so nice getting to know everyone a bit better.”

Laura Farris MP said: “It was a pleasure to visit the Crickets pub and meet Matt and the team. They’ve had a fantastic refurb and have the Six Nations (and all the other big sporting events) showing over the next few months.

Matt and the team are doing a great job and I wish them well for the future. Pay them a visit if you’re looking for a great venue for some Saturday afternoon sport!”
