Local record

History of this pub

The Cricketers stood on the London Road just east of Bagshot, near the A322 junction, and CAMRA describes it as a grand roadside inn that still kept that look despite extensions on both sides. Licensees are recorded here from 1822, and a 1903 licensing return noted three rooms and stabling for eight horses; by 1937 it was run by the Surrey Public House Trust Company. Early twentieth-century photographs show a fine building, and cricket was once played in its grounds. In later years it became a Beefeater with a Premier Inn alongside, its conservatory leading out to a garden with a palm tree, and it closed as a public restaurant on 10 September 2026.
