Harden's survey result
Summary
Jamie Oliver’s parents Trevor & Sally retired from this sixteenth-century village gastropub after 44 years in November 2020, so it has recently changed hands: it’s now a part of the 12-strong Chestnut group of pubs. The Olivers always ran the Cricketers well, but regulars say “(even in the tepee) the food is possibly up a notch”.
Summary
Trevor & Sally Oliver have run this village pub for 43 years – they moved in when their nowadays-world-famous son Jamie was a baby, and he helped out in the kitchen as a teenager. Its pub-grub avoids fancy fireworks, but is consistently well-rated. Like his son, Trevor grew up in an Essex pub, training as a chef and becoming a licensee at the tender age of 19, and was a pioneer of the notion that pubs could serve really good food.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
