Whatever the tournament, we're game. There's no need to worry about packed crowds, freezing weather or lengthy journeys back home. Just pop in and enjoy the buzz of the game without the bother.
Every wicket, every moment
From Edgbaston to Trent Bridge, Headingley to Lord’s, we’re always bringing the stadium vibes at the Bold Forester. Expect cheering crowds, celebratory pints, and friendly debates over dodgy umpire calls.
And when the innings break rolls around, you can refuel with our mouth-watering pub classics, like juicy burgers, or loaded sharers, all washed down with your favourite pint, cider or fizz.
Because let’s face it, cricket isn’t just about the bowls and the wickets. It’s about ice-cold pints that flow faster than a T20 run rate, HD screens that capture every moment, cosy seating to keep you comfy, and unbeatable atmospheres.
You can find it all at the Bold Forester, so consider us your perfect match day host for the next big fixture.
Frequently asked questions
How do I book a table?
It's easy! Just head to our bookings page and select your match to join us.
I can't see the fixture I'd like to book for - can I ask the pub to show it?
Sure! Simply book using our Live Sport option and in the Special Request box let us know which match you'd like to see. We'll do our best to get it on for you, but sadly we can't guarantee every match will be shown.
When do I need to be at my table?
To ensure everyone gets a seat for all the action, all we ask is that you're at your table within 15 minutes of your chosen booking time. So, if your booking starts at 2pm for a 3pm start, we'll need you to be there by 2.15pm. If you're not at your table 15 minutes after your booking, the table will be released.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Nope! All we ask is that you're at your table in time!
