Beautiful gem of a pub with the river running alongside it in the beer garden. We were served by a young man who was working his first day and who did an excellent job taking care of us. The food was really lovely (expectations exceeded for the mushroom ravioli). We look forward to visiting again when we visit the nearby wildlife park

Today we celebrated my husband’s birthday with a Sunday Roast at this lovely, newly renovated pub. I and our 3 friends had roast beef, cooked to absolute perfection, “blue” for me, with all the trimmings - yorkies, roasties and veg. My husband had pork, again with all the accompaniments. ( There was also lamb on the menu.)Again, perfection. Extra gravy if you wanted and the condiments were fresh and In dishes; not the dreaded packets! A really realistic price so highly recommended.

The staff at 'The Cross Keys' were pleasant and attentive. The food was okay. The pub itself was smelly, disorganised and messy, in fact.. dirty. They are so fortunate to have the river running through the beer garden but sadly the garden was also a mess. So much potential sadly wasted. A hard review to write.

Went along to this lovely pub in Pangbourne for Sunday lunch roast. I selected roast lamb, it was the best roast that I have had in ages, really nicely cooked, did not have to wait too long either, would defiantly recommend. Staff are friendly with a lovely atmosphere. Looking forward to going again.

It was like being in a funeral parlour...the Barman was miserable, unbecoming and if that's typical of the 'team' no wonder there wasn't much trade. The venue was visibly dirty and closing the Kitchen at 2.00pm in 2024 is bizarre...there can't possibly be any atmosphere with the layout of the Pub and to have a screen by the bar for the Landlord to sit and eat breakfast at gone 1.00pm is equally bizarre and unfocused on customers and trade...shan't be going there again surprise surprise...

Feels like a pub with such potential but that the owners have given up on. It's got lovely old beams and a fire place crying out for a warming fire. Instead we had to wear our coats. Very empty on a Saturday afternoon. Even the bar was unattended. When we ordered I had to ask for my pint to be filled to the top, which should never be necessary. Food also stopped serving at the rather early time of 3pm - prime pub lunch time. Sadly this potentially lovely pub has been let go. As far as we could tell there wasn't even any decent competition locally. Now is the time for the owners to put a bit of effort in and hopefully bring back to life what could be a great local pub.

Went for a pint and possibly lunch, but were put off from staying longer by the unpleasant smell of stale cooking oil that lingers everywhere and is strongest by the bar. If you visit - you and everyone you’ve ever known and loved will likely end up smelling the same.

This is a lovely traditional pub with lots of wood beaming and features. This pub is not very accessible as there are lots of different floor levels hence lots of steps down and up.

Four of us decided to have dinner at The Cross Keys last Friday evening. Two of us chose burgers, one had a Prawn Salad and one the Chicken Caesar Salad. It has to be said - these are not "just burgers" They are amazing! Probably the best burgers we've ever had. The salads were also absolutely amazing. They were large, the prawn salad had masses of prawns, the chicken caesar plenty of nice crispy coated chicken. All in all, the food was much better than you'd expect a pub to produce and in our opinion represent really good value for money, given the amount and quality. Highly recommended.

Very disturbing visit to what was once a superb pub. The outside looks run down (first warning sign), and as you enter there is a horrible mouldy smell that hangs around the bar. The outside used to be lovely but bizarrely the river view has been blocked up so you can't enjoy the views of the water. This is a dying pub with no effort to clean-up / freshen-up. Really (really) disappointed to see this pub in its current state. Not a good sign for Pangbourne.

I did some searching on here for somewhere to go for diner when visiting the area. To be honest wasn’t holding out much hope after reading the reviews but was in the pub across the road and it was pricey and not a great menu, So we tried our luck. All the reviews I read were wrong. The girl behind the bar was so nice and helpful, bubbly and couldn’t do enough. The food was tasty and prices fair especially as the food portions are on the larger side. We had a great night and I will definitely be returning if we visit the area again.

Wanted so much to enjoy our first evening out in Pangbourne. Sadly, unbelievably unwelcoming service at the bar. We were asked perfunctorily what we wanted and when I asked about the different ales on sale, was told “these”. Ie two beers I’d never heard of and would have loved to know more about. Whilst my husband was at the bar, I found seats at a table where sadly the chairs were so low I had throw back thoughts to infant’s school. Whilst getting myself sorted, my dog’s lead slipped through my fingers, (I hadn’t taken my gloves off yet), and immediately was yelled at by the chap behind the bar, “Keep your dog under control!” Thanks to the lovely people in the pub, no one even vaguely complained. In fact the complete opposite. As for the beer - don’t bother. It will quite unpleasant. In conclusion. If you have dogs and want to have a tasty ale in a local welcoming pub don’t visit The Cross Keys. Try The Swan in Pangbourne instead. Such a good experience there.

Charming little pub, at the foot of the hill in Pangbourne, and despite living g there for many years I hadnt the real opportunity to enjoy it until recently.

Earlier in the year, I popped in here for a drink with friends and found it quite cliquey with the locals and didnt feel particularly welcome and probably wouldn't have chosen to return in the future. However, my sister chose here for her birthday meal so we visited here as a group of 11. 7 adults and 4 children. We all ordered from the main menu. Some of the children ordered pizza and they were quite greasy and abit squidgy but still ate them. I had the rib eye steak and it was delicious, perfectly cooked how I asked it to be. The others on the party were all happy with their meals esp the fish and chips.The lady serving us was very kind and friendly and helpful. She even gave my sister takeaway boxes for her leftovers. The prices were reasonable and overall, was def worth a visit. If you are unsure whether to visit, give them a try.

The staff were surly and one sighed as though it was too much trouble to serve us. We collected our glasses from the garden to return them to the bar, and said thank you when we left, but not a word from the staff. O.K. if you are a local, but if not, go to the Greyhound up the road, which was very friendly and we enjoyed lunch there too! Such as shame, as it is in a lovely setting by the river.

The very friendly people here let us have lunch even though we arrived after 2pm.The fish and chips were great, fresh fish in a light batter. My Cesar Salad was really nice and filling with top quality chicken. My wife had a club sandwich which was very good indeed.This is a very smart place with a beautiful garden out the back.If any tourists want to see what a traditional English pub is like then they should come here.

A really nice pub with a good food and beer. Pleasant garden. Sadly the free WiFi here is terrible. Was on holiday and needed a connection for email, but quite useless. Also horrible screaming kids in the next room rather spoilt our meal, but you cannot really blame the pub for that.

HYGIENE ALERT: one of the members of Subway staff today (Asian male) used the toilet in the shop and did not wash their hands afterwards (flushed and exited straight away, wash basin was dry, did not hear dryer through the door).

We were served with drinks on arrival and chose from menu with a good variety of meals to choose from with a selection of special menu very reasonably priced for 3 courses choices of 3 different previously selected meals for each course.

Such a beautiful pub. A real tranquil place to unwind with a drink. Drinks are a little pricey but it's well worth paying the little extra to spend some time here.
