I booked a half day from work and met various members of our large party on the train on the way into Worcester including friends Sarah and Chris who were over from Australia. First stop, very appropriately, was The Cricketers, a leg side glance away from Worcester's Foregate Street train station.
It's no exaggeration to say that we literally took over half of the pub, pictured are just a few members of our motley crew..
The pub itself describes itself as a country pub in the city centre, and in all honesty that's not a bad description. It is full of character with cricketing memorabilia adorning the pub's walls.
There is plenty of choice too on the beer front with me going for a pint of Wye Valley HPA. I was careful not to gulp my first pint as inexplicably I was working the next day. My drinking tactic for the day was slow and steady I was just hoping that Warwickshire's top order batsmen weren't going to adopt a similar approach to their batting later on that day.
We were blessed with some fine June weather so whilst the pub would be great on a typical British day, stifling heat and lack of beer garden meant that it wasn't a lengthy visit so the call to move on came fairly quickly which was a bit of a shame as The Cricketers is definitely a place where you could happily spend a few hours.
