Great Beer, Great Food And A Great Location
The Cricketers Brighton is a city centre traditional pub, full of charm, history, warmth and character – and one of the few Brighton pubs that still retains its Victorian splendour. Situated in the thick of Brighton’s Lanes, this venue attracts a real mix of people. It has a warren of different rooms, each with their own feel and it is one of those places that is so convenient that you just have to pop in for one.
“A step back in time to the days of Victorian splendour”
The Cricketers Brighton
If you think thick carpets, Victorian detail, pictures on walls and ceilings, a great selection of wines and beers and then you are getting a better idea as to what the place has to offer.
The venue also has an internal courtyard great for larger tables and with quite a rustic feel to it.
A Venue Since 1547
There has actually been a pub on this site since 1547 and the original Landlord, Derrick Carver was burnt as a martyr for his religious beliefs back in the day.
It is suggested that one of their most famous, or infamous, guests was Robert Donston Stephenson, a contender for the real identity of Jack the Ripper. In The Greene Room bar, (upstairs), you can spend some time sleuthing through the story of his origins and how he may have planned his murders from the very same spot.
This is also the famous pub immortalised by Graham Greene in his classic novel “Brighton Rock”.
