This place has become our regular haunt. It’s always got a free table, the food is reasonably priced. The atmosphere is relaxed and open and the fireplace is great in Winter!
Possibly only because we’ve been here so often, the menu could do with a refresh. By that, I mean the food choices - the actual menus just got updated, and the new format is great, but the menu items are still the same. They’re all great and well made standard pub fare, but a couple of new options would be welcome.
The Royal Cricketers Arm's Pub is a historical heritage listed building that was first licensed in 1880, the pub was recently refurbished to cater for all visitors. This pub is fantastic for families, friends, workplace functions and other celebrations. Why? Because there's no gaming room, no TAB and no pool table. Thus, an opportunity to spend quality time with your friends/family and enjoy food from the pub's extensive menu, from Poke Bowls to Schnitzel with chips. Open 7 days per week for lunch and dinner. Look out for nightly specials from $15 and Sunday roasts! Oh not to mention your ears will love the live music. I especially liked the Poke Bowl with fresh salmon and brown rice. Yum! Overall, food is better typical pub food - i personally dont mind pub food but its usually not my favourite, but i feel that theres more thought put into it RCA's food,more refined and more my cup of tea haha.
We easily spent a few hours hanging out at Royal Cricketers Arm Pub filling our bellies, listening to live music and sipping mixed Tanqueray.
Its a shame that we live so far away from blacktown. RCA reminds me of the grounds but more laid back,more authentic, less hipster and more community oriented rather than tourist based. To be honest we really enjoyed RCA and would recommend this venue to locals for dinner, lunch or to celebrate a birthday/event.
*kindly invited
Nice and cosy pub in a quiet area, next to the hotel, great outdoor space. Tried some food and drinks from a new menu at the relaunch party and it was a delicious feast. Would recommend to try burgers, cakes and mulled wine which was amazing.
