Cross Keys Hotel in Cannock Chase

A timeless good old English pub. No music, the nearest to a meal is a bag of pork scratchings. Drinking and meeting great mates for over 40 years. Very friendly locals looking and experiencing the simple things in life, long lost outside the creaky old doors of this hostelry.

Best beer in Cannock. Great for hospitality and football talk and humorous banter all the time. Nice lounge for couples and groups and a bar with it's old days atmosphere

Great beers at a good price. Nice old local pub

Lovely pub, nice locals, good selection of beers, ciders, and lagers

Best pub in the Midlands, great atmosphere, great beers, great landlords

Always has a great selection of real ales and there is sport on the tv.

We have been drinking here for the last 10 years. Drinks are reasonably priced and the real ales are definitely worth a try. It's your typical drinkers pub with a warm atmosphere and no LOUD music.

Lovely pub. Traditional and welcoming

Visited the restaurant up stairs from the pub, the Olive Grove for a meal highly recommended

Good old fashioned pub with a great atmosphere. A rarity these days but it's so nice to go somewhere traditional.

Great little boozer with good selection of drinks

Old fashioned pub good atmosphere.

Friendly enough, nice traditional pub -

Proper throwback pub! What a boozer! Sport, good beer, great staff and a decent crowd.

Good beer, great local pub, and some outdoor seating too.

Brilliant local. Best pint of Guinness in Cannock by far

Standard pub. Quite outdated but pleasant members and staff. No food and no kids.

Great pub. Not been in for a while due to covid etc. Looking forward coming back with me and my stepdaughter.

Good solid pub, highly recommended.

Nice place friendly staff highly recommend

I love this pub... There's not many left like it 😁

Love the place we run our Scooter Club from here and Chris is a great host

Top pub if you want a proper pint thats the place to go

Friendly. Well thought out systems & well prepared to receive customers, enabling everyone to keep social distance. Tables cleaned thoroughly when a customer/s leaves, ready for new ones.

Lovely had a meal next door in olive grove . Lovely food an service was wonderful .

Proper pub. No more needed to say

Always enjoy it here hubby loves the real ales!! 😁

Good for a cheapish pint. I did really like this place as its dog friendly, nowhere round here is. Hats off to you cross keys!

Good choice of ales, nice atmosphere, but no food except for the usual crisps. Shows all football and other sports.

Real ale pub, great choice of beers, great staff always make you welcome, great friendly atmosphere, the only thing missing is a choice of fresh cobs 🍺🍺

Excellent choice of Ales, good Bar Staff

Very friendly pub, staff and customers. Had lovely afternoon watching the F1 and play off against Charlton Athletic and Sunderland, both on sky sports. Thank you.

Awesome beer and atmosphere....as always

Fantastic old pub like they should be.

It was on a Tuesday afternoon when I visited this pub and I had not been there for several years. Although the bar was relatively quiet I found the staff very friendly as well as the customers. The ales on offer were the 'usual suspects' but had been kept in good order. I must visit this pub more often!

Came today to watch the game with my mate. Very accommodating and great beer. Wish this was my local

Typical English pub. Prices are decent. The drinks selection is good. They can host events and put on special evenings occasionally. There's plenty of parking and plenty of locals who frequent so it's obviously a friendly and enjoyable venue.

Beowulf dark raven very good.good service.

Friendly atmostphere and historic building . Well worth a visit if in the area.

Non pretentious, brilliant choice,nice and cosy

Very dull and drab inside...friendly service though

The best place in the Midlands for real ales . Always a good selection to choose from

A large choice of quality and good value real ales. Efficient staff.

Great beers, great staff, great company and a great sports venue. A gem of a pub on the boundaries of Cannock/Hednesford.

Great Staff and friendly atmosphere.

Great beer as usual, good local pub generally nice clientele, but the odd pretentious customer doesn't help passing trade....

Visited the restaurant above. Owner friendly and helpful food good

Really nice pub, friendly atmosphere, great selection of well kept beers, good service too.

An old staging house hundreds of years ild but now modernised. I enjoyed it their and would return.

Best Bar in the Midlands by far. Proper boozer with a multitude of prestigious Camra awards on the wall. Even a picture of the legend Sir Bobby Robson adorns the wall behind the bar. Spent many a fantastic evening chatting with the friendly staff and locals. Plenty of TV's to watch the match dotted around the bar. Brin the Manager and ex Hednesford Town FC player and FA Trophy winner is always on hand with some lively banter. Highly recommended, you simply cannot miss visiting whilst in the area.

Afternoon tea nice but could be better

No idea what the hotel side is like but this is a great traditional drinkers pub. All the Beers are first class.

Always a good range of beers on tap.

Brilliant real ale pub. Great photographs of history of area. Highly recommend a visit. It is adults only - sorry but it makes a nice change.

Needs a good refurb, very rude staff

Great beer , nice atmosphere, friendly staff

Good range of real ales and great atmosphere real drinkers pub

Warm, clean, friendly, perfectly kept (and wide range of) ales, a great 'drinkers pub'.

Real ales Allways a great choice GREAT staff. GREAT atmosphere. Pub of the year many times.....say no more

Epicenter of true Hednesford Town Supporters. Lovely proper pub, non of this gastro stuff, this has the beams and brasses like a real establishment. All the Ales and Beers are always very tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful. The beer garden is nice on the rare occasion the sun comes out.

Great pub with good beer. Always welcome there.
