   Booked a table for a Monday evening,we were the only ones sat upstairs in the dining area which was nice. Staff were friendly and very welcoming. Food was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back again.

   Enjoyed the food very much. Top like goes to the steak pie! Service a little slow (not a problem for us as we were in no rush) and seemed to be more to do with a staff shortage. In any event have hesitation in going back!!!

   I’ve been to the Cross Keys a few times now and each experience has been different. But the Sunday lunch was very good. Nice food and friendly staff. Overall very good and I will definitely go back in the future.

   We had quite a wait for the food to arrive which probably affected how we felt about eating there. The food was good but if we were in the area again we would chose elsewhere to eat .

   My husband got the pie which is normally nice, however he left most of it and said it was dry no flavour and the chips were soaked in fat, Our last visit he tried the pasta dish which was awful , it was like milk poured over pasta not flavour at all I don't think we will return for food However the service is great and the drinks are good

   There isn’t a designated eating area so be aware you might be in the middle of the pub

    One waitress was very friendly and the other very rude. The friendly one was very apologetic that she had to tell us on 4 separate occasions that they’d ran out of what we’d ordered and we had to change our order on each occasion. Probably should have said they weren’t doing food if they’d ran out of the majority of the menu as we would have gone elsewhere. Flatbreads were very poor but the burger was very nice and presented well. Nice atmosphere as they were doing a pub quiz so felt quite lively. Lots of parking.

However, we’re truly sorry to hear about the inconsistent service and the inconvenience of the items being out of stock. Your feedback about the flatbreads and the communication regarding the menu will be addressed with our team to ensure we improve in these areas. We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future for a better experience. Thank you for visiting!
