  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
First licensed in 1880 the heritage listed Royal Cricketer’s Arms hotel in Blacktown is a crowd favourite with locals as well as visiting guests, just as it was more than 100 years ago.

This charming establishment has not been affected by our fast-paced society and still relies on friendly service and great pub food in relaxed leafy surrounds. The original hotel and residence make you feel as if you have stepped back in time and are a wonderful spot to relax and watch the world go by.

The pub is open 4 days a week with a modern and affordable menu, allowing guests to dine by the original fireplace in winter or in our spectacular beer garden among 100 year old willows and a spectacular jacaranda.

Known to locals as The Cricketers and located in the Blacktown entertainment precinct right next door to Atura Blacktown and Skyline Drive In, and right around the corner from Raging Waters Sydney , there is something for everyone!

    I’ve had the pleasure of dining at the Royal Cricketers Arms numerous times, and the YFD (Your Funeral Director) Christmas Gathering was no exception to its charm. The historic venue always provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the festive touches added an extra special vibe to the event. However, during the Christmas season, it would be great to see table service offered, especially for group gatherings, as it enhances the experience and makes it feel more seamless. Additionally, expanding the menu to include more vegetarian and pescatarian options would be a thoughtful touch, accommodating a wider range of dietary preferences. On a brighter note, the fantastic news that cash payments are once again accepted was much appreciated! Overall, a lovely gathering, and I look forward to seeing the venue continue to grow and improve its offerings in the future. 🎄✨

    We took a friend there for dinner, his first time and he loved it. The atmosphere was relaxed, fellow diners were happy and the food was really nice. He had Chicken Schnitzel with added Surf and Turf, my partner had the classic Aussie Chicken Burger and I had the Chicken Schnitzel. All enjoyed but would love to try the Shepherds Pie next time. Price was really reasonable considering the current price rise of everything these days. The gentleman behind the bar was welcoming, friendly and professional. The bistro staff when we collected our meals greeted us with a smile and informed us of where condiments were. All and all was a very nice evening. our friend was delighted and like us, will return again.

    We all had the Shepherds Pie. It was nice but not value for money. The table was wobbly and sticky. Service good. Coffee terrible.
