Sussex Cricketers

Thinking about where to go for brunch this weekend? Let me tempt you with a spot you might not have considered, The @thesussexcricketer I was recently invited to try their new brunch menu, and while I wasn’t sure what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I can confidently say it’s well worth a visit.

The Sussex Cricketers is a family friendly pub with plenty of space, including a dedicated restaurant style area and a separate sports zone. I’ve been here a few times, and even when a game’s on, the sports area has never felt rowdy or overwhelming. They’ve struck a great balance between being a place for families and food lovers while still keeping that welcoming pub atmosphere. The brunch menu is broad and full of favourites, each with its own creative twist.

We ordered a selection of dishes to share, and every one was beautifully presented and packed with flavour. My personal favourite was the Cinnamon Bun Focaccia served with vanilla cream and berries, a sweet, indulgent treat. The Buffalo Buttermilk Fried Chicken Flatbread with hot honey, pickled red cabbage, poached egg, and hollandaise was another standout, full of bold, delicious flavours. The Cricket Muffin also went down a treat at our table, a hearty combination of Double Cumberland sausage, chilli jam, fried egg, and American cheese that’s clearly a crowd favourite. We also ordered from the kids menu, opting for the classic sausage, chips, and peas, which was a hit. The kids menu is available all day, while the brunch menu runs on Saturdays until 3pm. Another bonus is that this place serves @whitecloudcoffee which is one of my favourites so was really impressed with the offering provided.

Overall, I was really impressed. The Sussex Cricketers have nailed their brunch offering, and considering their roasts are already top notch, I probably shouldn’t have been surprised. Thanks for the invite guys, I’ll definitely be back!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
