Royal Cricketers Arms

It's like the classic country pub where you can take your ease amid dark wood panelling and rough-hewn furniture straight out of Hobbiton. Except it's not the country and it's not Bilbo Baggins' local - you're less than 10 minutes from downtown Blacktown at the Royal Cricketers Arms. The menu is all your pub favourites; don't go past the 350-gram rump steak or the cut of the day, mixed in with a few English traditions, including Old Speckled Hen battered fish and the London Pie. The $15 classic pub grub lunches from Monday to Friday include fish and chips and burgers.
