We're delighted to announce the grand reopening of The Cricketers, a historic Taunton pub now under the stewardship of Craft Union. Nestled in the heart of the county town, The Cricketers is set to become a vibrant hub for locals and visitors alike.

Taunton, a town steeped in history, offers a perfect blend of rural charm and urban convenience. With its rich heritage, stunning coastal landscapes, and thriving community, it's no wonder this historic county town has captured the hearts of so many.

A New Era Begins

At the heart of The Cricketers is Geraint, a seasoned pub operator with a passion for creating dynamic and welcoming spaces. With a wealth of experience in the UK and abroad, Geraint brings a fresh perspective to this iconic Taunton establishment. His focus on sports and late-night entertainment aligns perfectly with The Cricketers’ potential.

“I'm excited to take on the challenge of revitalizing The Cricketers,” says Geraint. “Taunton is a fantastic town with a strong sense of community, and I believe this pub can play a central role in bringing people together.”

A Fresh Look, A Warm Welcome

To ensure The Cricketers lives up to its full potential, we’ve invested £49,000 in a comprehensive refurbishment. The exterior has been given a fresh coat of paint and new lighting to enhance its street appeal. We’ve also created an inviting outdoor seating area, perfect for enjoying sunny days.

Inside, the pub has undergone a stylish transformation. Worn areas have been refreshed, and the interior is now brighter and more welcoming. A new darts throw has been installed, encouraging friendly competition among patrons. The stunning wooden floor has been restored to its former glory, adding warmth and character to the space.

A Hub for the Community

To cater to Taunton's vibrant nightlife, we’ve introduced a dedicated DJ booth. This will enable The Cricketers to host exciting events and create a lively atmosphere. The till system has been upgraded to our Craft Union standard to ensure efficient service, and the beer range has been carefully curated to offer a fantastic selection of craft brews.

To enhance the overall pub experience, we’ve installed a state-of-the-art sound system. This allows for background music, quizzes, and other entertainment options, ensuring there’s always something to enjoy at The Cricketers. We’ve also carried out essential health and safety work to create a safe environment for everyone.

With Geraint's expertise, our investment, and the support of the Taunton community, The Cricketers is set to become a thriving hub for locals and visitors alike. We can't wait to see this historic pub reach its full potential.
