A NEW INNINGS FOR THE CRICKETERS ON KEW GREEN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

London, UK: 27^th August 2020

The Cricketers pub, on Kew Green in Richmond, officially reopens under new independent ownership this Saturday, 29^th August 2020.

Now a free house and undergoing a full refurbishment, The Cricketers is set to resume its place at the heart of the local community offering excellent food and exceptional, friendly service. The bar will serve a wide range of beers, ales, wines, and spirits (and some cocktails). The food menu will focus on traditional British pub dishes using fresh seasonal ingredients and will include a fabulous Sunday lunch and weekend brunch menu.

The opening of the pub will be phased, with the inside and front terrace opening on 29^th August, serving drinks and packaged snacks. The rear garden will then open on 5^th September and the finally, the kitchen on 14^th September.

With its enviable, south-facing position overlooking the cricket green and very close to The Thames [and Kew Gardens], the pub boasts a spacious front terrace perfect for watching the world go by over a bite to eat and a drink or two. The outdoor space continues to the side, with a large garden at the rear. The comfortable and warm interior flows from a relaxed bar area at the front to a slightly more formal dining space to the back, and a secluded dining cubby, nicknamed The Cow Shed. The pub will show BT and Sky Sports and the team look forward to hosting weekly events for the community, including a quiz night on Tuesdays (starting from October).

The new owner is Adam Rontaler, who previously worked in wealth management in the city, supported by his wife, Victoria (director of her own events and PR agency). Adam grew up in Ealing in West London and is a more than enthusiastic (obsessed!) Brentford FC fan. Owning and running a pub has always been a dream of Adam’s and he and Victoria are excited for this new chapter and look forward to making The Cricketers, Kew their new home. They bring with them a very experienced team in both the bar and the kitchen.

To celebrate their opening, a 10% discount will be in place on all food and drink for the remainder of August and throughout the month of September.
