The Cricketers

Head down to Sturdee Avenue and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually feels like it belongs to Gillingham rather than some corporate chain. The Cricketers pulls in everyone from construction workers to pensioners, all united by decent pints and no-nonsense hospitality. It's the sort of place where regulars have their spots at the bar and the landlord knows what you're drinking before you ask. You're after a proper local experience without any fuss or fancy pretension? This is your spot.
