Ordered an Afternoon Tea for my mother in laws 86th birthday Requested a quiet corner and we were offered a small room overlooking the footbridge, she could people watch! The service and food were 1st class and they offered boxes to take the food we could not eat home Lovely experience and mother in law was very happy! Would highly recommend!

Arrived for a drink with friends before a meal. Women old enough to know better threatening to smash our heads in if they weren’t brought a drink. Staff doing nothing to help. Bikes with baby seats outside from these women. Disgusting. Never again and lovely restaurants I won’t go again to with the area. Very appalled that staff are letting this happen

Afternoon tea was awful. Paid £14 for half a dry old pork pie, half a sausage roll, various bite size pieces of cake that were clearly bought from a supermarket, cheesecake was soggy and a strange texture. The sandwiches were ok apart from the cucumber one which hadn’t been refrigerated and was warm! The scones seemed freshly baked but were burnt on the top. 5 of us ordered and most of it went back. We mentioned it to the landlady when we paid and she was really rude and hostile, she basically said we should have said something sooner, offered us a free afternoon tea voucher but it will not be used, the place was unkempt and dirty! Avoid! The White Hart is much better!

Absolutely awful customer service. They pick and choose which customers they give which deal to, who they ID and who they give good service to. You can go in on a Wednesday and they'll give you the best service ever and be all over you and not ID you. Then go on a Saturday and feel like they don't even want you there. Staff are rude and unfriendly and the place is an absolute dive. Who serves cocktails in a 1/2 pint Carling glass?

Having spoken to a member of staff on the phone that the venue was serving food on Sunday eve but not taking bookings.. I was put right on arrival by a lady who seemed like a manager or owner that this was wrong.... had been wrong for ages..... had I phoned another place?... I think the manner in which I was told was surly and rude. If I had made a mistake I could have been told in a friendly manner... this is not the first time someone has stated the usually first rate customer service is let down by a senior management figure. They may be in authority but customers don't need arrogant communication!

Friend ordered a cocktail and received hers, we were then told we couldnt have one due to a back log. We were the only people inside the venue (aside from four people sat down with their drinks). A lady (who I’m assuming is the manager/owner) then continued to speak to the two other people behind the bar about not serving cocktails as if me and my friends weren’t there. Will not be returning, which is a shame, as when we used to go there, the cocktails were never too much trouble and the bartenders always had a smile on their faces.

Bar staff are friendly and more than accommodating. The "doorman" was EXTREMELY handsy and kept calling me "friend" when trying to usher me to the toilets when there was a queue due to social distancing. I asked him to stop calling me this as it was weird and straight away was asked to leave. What a crying shame because the bar staff were absolutely brilliant.

One member of staff was more than happy to show us upstairs around the building after we showed an interest in the history of the place. The beer served here is excellent. Its a perfect place to go for a quiet cosy drink.

3 of us had sunday lunch. We loved the decor and atmosphere of the place. We all chose the roast beef. We had a long wait for our meal it was 45 minutes. Only one waitress running around and a hen party in separate room with cream teas to serve as well as tables for lunch. She did keep apologising and checking to see if we needed more drinks. When food arrived it was amazing. Generous portion of Beef and good selection of vegetables only 2 roast potatoes which was very welcome after Christmas excesses.

My brother and i bought an afternoon experience for our mum and Auntie in April. Unfortunately they had been unable to get there within the allotted time for their voucher. I live on the Isle of Wight and my Bro lives in Milton Keynes but we were born and brought up in Friskney. "Mum would say Dragged up" I spoke to A lady at the keys explaining the reasons for why mum had not been able to make it and she said "No Problem" give us a ring when you can and we'll see what we can do.Well!!!! Thankyou so much as mum and my Auntie and one of my cousins went along to The Keys quite late in the afternoon and had their Afternoon tea and Mum rang me that evening and said that it was perfect in every way. They just turned up but it was recommended to give a days notice but got their lines crossed a bit.There was even a doggy bag each at the end of their tea.Bravo.. Thankyou

Last night my husband,daughter and I went along to Church Keys for a meal. All 3 of us thoroughly and totally enjoyed every mouthful from start to finish. Homemade everything.. and you could tell .. it was delicious. The service was impeccable, the surroundings were lovely as we had a view over the river..it was immaculate. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable and nothing at all would I have changed. The desserts were to die for .. and that’s the difference of home made and frozen food... you can taste it was actually MADE. Our compliments to your lady chef she did an amazing job .. no long waits. We were advised really well with both food AND drink from restaurant staff AND bar staff. All in all what a lovely lovely evening so Thankyou Church Keys first class. Excited to try your new menu too so we will be booking in very very soon ❤️

Had a few "rooms" off the main bits for cost seating and private dining or birthday parties. right next to the bridge over the river in central Boston and about two minutes from the main church for sightseeing. Well placed for a visit with an extensive gin menu if that's your tipple.
