At the side and rear, the paved patio and lawn are furnished with picnic tables, and there is play equipment for the kids. A footpath at the side of the pub car park gives pedestrian access to the cricket ground. No meals, but cobs may be available.

Historic Interest

Redevelopment by Everards of the former Cricket Ground Hotel in 1974. The new pub is set back from the road, and was built behind the site of the original hotel. In 2025, Everards sold the pub to Punch Taverns. Contrary to popular belief, Grace Road was named after a local property owner and not the legendary cricketer W G Grace.
