Modern pub reopened September 2020 after major refurbishment complete with roof terrace. At the same time it was rebranded as a conventional Wetherspoons without music. The name acknowledges the strong connection the town has with cricket with the town club close by and the county club ground on the Riverside, as do various items of memorabilia on the walls. Very roomy and has a single long bar championing local beers. No alcohol served before 9am.
