Cross Keys Inn in Herefordshire, County of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely fantastic food! Myself and party of 8 ate at The Cross Keys last saturday after a canoeing trip and we all agreed it was one of the best country pub dinners we've all had in ages. The Brisket was the best I've ever had with an excellent rich sauce and the Pork was reportedly outstanding too and very innovative in it's presentation as it is served in a low bowl with the sauce forming a complete layer at the bottom. Other chefs take note! All in all it was absolutely delicious and we will be returning next time we are all in Goodrich. It's also well worth taking the absolute gem of a pre-dinner short walk up starting from The Hostelrie down turning right at Goodrich School then up along the very scenic footpath up through the churchyard to enjoy some lovely views of Coppett Hill and the Valley whilst building up your appetite. Congratulations to the Chef and Kitchen as well as the front of house for excellent service too. And lastly a big shout out to the local Butty Bach which is perfectly conditioned and we all thought better than many more famous big name ales. Highly recommended!

Whilst mountain biking in the Wye Valley I spontaneously decided to stay the night. After scouting around for availability I am glad I discovered this establishment. Upon calling to discuss the price for the room, which was very reasonably priced, the customer service was exceptional. Once I arrived the hospitality was excellent, and the food was incredible. I will definitely be returning again

Walked out of our way to try this for a meal, after reading good reviews on here. Upon arrival, the landlord told us that the sous chef had quit in the night and the head chef was on a day off. Although disappointed we stayed for a drink. The cask ale was very good. The single round of 1 cask beer, 3 lemonades and 2 packets of regular crisps was £17.45 The deserted back garden looked a bit unloved, but the kids were keen on the mini trampoline in the back garden. Maybe just visited on a bad day.

Dropped into the Cross Keys Inn today by chance & what a find. Really welcoming & friendly, pub is loverly & the food was excellent, as good if not better than many high end resturants. Thank you

Sunday lunch was by far the best I’ve had, staff so lovely and accommodating

Booked for a table of 8 through opentable, table was ready even though we arrived slightly early. All the food came out promptly, was fantastically presented and tasted incredible. Great range of drinks and some lovely cask ales. Brilliant, attentive service. Easy 5*.

Picked this on the map as a convenient meet up on the A40, but will be back. Lovely pub, great quality food and friendly staff.

Great, tasty food at a reasonable price

I didn't stay in the rooms, but the staff are great and the meal we had was amazing. My friend said it was the best steak he can remember having :)

Lovely warm welcome...Nice rooms..very clean and tidy....we stayed the weekend..evening meal was excellent...I had the burger and it was cooked to perfection..my friends had the Thai curry...and Ravioli..and they enjoyed their meals too... Only problem ....the bypass is close by...so it can be a tad noisy...however that's not their fault....and after all " they were there first!!!"... It certainly didn't spoil the weekend too much either..! Very happy to recommend the " Cross keys".... THANKYOU A VERY ENJOYABLE WEEKEND.

Yesterday, eight of us came here for an evening dinner and drinks. I was quietly looking forward to eating here, and whilst I normally don't write reviews, I felt compelled to leave a rating. What really impressed me with The Cross Keys was their care and attention to detail before and during our visit. Our party had dairy free, gluten free, and vegetarian diners - not the easiest group at the best of times - yet a menu had been set aside that detailed all of our needs. We could bring dogs. It was okay that a couple of people had cancelled, so we were a bit smaller. They were really nice and attentive to us throughout. The whole experience was lovely, like being in someone's house for dinner. Speaking of dinner, the food was great. It's a meat-forward menu, so if you're into that, have the steak frites. This is important to note because they can cook a bavette steak perfectly medium-rare, whilst serving seven other dishes, in the middle of service on a Saturday. The burgers were also a hit, and the bourbon brisket was an intriguing choice that I almost made instead. I wish I had space for dessert. Should I come back to the area, I'll be sure to check it out. If you're in the area and are looking to celebrate, come to this place. Eat the steak frites. Drink the local beer. Check out their dessert menu - and unlike me, show it some love.

Lovely country pub serving great food, very good friendly service in a beautiful country village. Highly recommended to visit and try great pub food.Easy location to get to Goodrich castle

Perfect for an overnight stay. Very welcoming staff, comfortable accommodation, and easy access to the motorway.

Had a roast lunch and it was the first time in many years that had to send beef back because inedible. Service was good but at £17 expensive. Another in our party had a starter, similar cost but better quality

Sweet little room if a little quirky, ideal for one night. Just off the main road but rocking the country pub vibe. Family run, friendly, fab food. Will go back.

We were so looking forward to this, so I suppose maybe that's why the disappointment could feel worse than it should do?.. We rarely get away but booked 1 night here as a place to stay before a day experience at a local forge. I found the inn and chose it Purley for the food, I wanted a special meal for us as part of this getaway. 3.5hrs on the road to be greeted by "did you get a message we've no chef today so no food tonight " I was completely gutted, but we smiled and went up, I didn't expect big rooms, we're simple happy folk and easily pleased but the room was so tiny, the bathroom door hit the bed, it was so squeeky I'm surprised I didn't wake the whole village in the night. The pictures have certainly been well taken. We got back in the car and found somewhere to eat, returning at 8.55 to a locked pub in darkness that said it was open until 10..no drink and chance to ask about breakfast or anything for the following morning. Not welcoming or informative at all.we decided after a disappointing time so far to watch a film, after 2 hours of constant freezing and resetting we gave up. In the morning we got packed up, cam down at 8.15 (not exactly crack of dawn) again to an empty locked pub, no one could be found, we searched everywhere for someone. So we had to leave the front door unlocked and the keys on the bar. Disappointing alround for us, really did tarnish what was a rare chance for us... We're the sort of people who will chat to anyone but we really felt like you're not local so we're not interested. I read lots of good reviews before choosing this, it was far too expensive for room only stay but I'm lots of people have had a better time than we did. Certainly won't be back.

When there for a Saturday lunch time, and the staff where very friendly, helpful and chatty, and had the seabass for mains and ice cream for dessert, and food was absolutely delicious, and the food is freshly products by local farms and other businesses, and I love the look of the place too. So I will be definitely be coming back again

Food (particularly steak) was amazing

Visited for food and drinks. Fantastic service, food was beautiful.🥰 Writing review whilst sat finishing our drinks. We are that impressed. I had steak frites, hubby had brisket and boy had homemade fish fingers. We all wanted to share because all the meals tasted so good. Dog friendly too which is a bonus 😊

Absolutely incredible food, the best meal we have had out in a long time. Definitely compliments to the chef, totally recommend. Thank you.

Absolutely fabulous little pub. From the outside it looks like a quaint little country pub, but their food was amazing and better than I have had in many restaurants.my family and I visited on steak night (Thursday), and had beautifully cooked rib eye steaks paired with red wine. All finished off with some incredible deserts. We all practically rolled out the pub on the way out very very happy!

Stayed for one night and had dinner. Cute cosy pub rooms really comfy and quiet. The rump steak was amazing and service friendly. Would definitely recommend and return.

Stayed for one night as a stopover en route. Beautiful and quaint old inn. Very friendly staff, room was clean and perfect for our needs.

They accommodated 19 hungry MTBers for Sat evening meal at one table (Pre-booked food). The quality of the food and service was excellent and every single one of the staff were friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend them 5*

We popped in here whilst renting a holiday cottage otherside of the field,its dog friendly and we found it friendly by both staff and locals...thank you

Thank you so much for a fantastic Sunday lunch yesterday whilst catering for 38 people, so well organised, staff and food excellent. And thank you Corin for the lovely flowers on the tables.

Dropped in for food after a wet and windy treasure hunt with the kids

Great food and service would recommend 👌

Just to say we had a wonderful meal last night. Great food (all 8 of us) and great service!

Great room at a brilliant price. Super convenient for a wedding just down the road. Amazing staff who were very accommodating when we accidentally turned up a day early for our booking but sorted us the room without any issues. Thank you so much!

Lovely spot for food and drinks after a long drive.

Just spent 3 nights here from 19th-22nd September. Truly a gem of a find. All the staff and locals were very friendly and we felt we totally fitted in from the start. The room we stayed in was perfect and clean. The food was delicious. Ours dogs were made very welcome too. Very reasonably price drinks and accommodation. We would definitely return and I do highly recommend this place. It is close to the A4 but the traffic didn't keep me awake, I got used to the noise.

Such great food, very friendly staff and a super singing chef! Thanks and we will be back

Lovely pub in a nice area with fabulous food - poor service and poor communication from the staff which left us disappointed and with no apologies!
