We were here for a family member’s Birthday and it was the second time my husband and I had travelled over from Manchester to have a meal here. The food was great and the service was amazing 🎉🎉 We had the Lamb and it was cooked to perfection for us as we don’t like our meat to be bloody. There were two large lamb steaks. Too much for my husband who too one piece home. He will have a lovely Lamb buttie for his supper 🎉🎉. Can’t wait to go back for another family get together 👍👍👍

Was here a few times pre and post the last few Northern Monk Hop and Dark city beer festival. Always great atmosphere and good selection of cask and draught beers. The staff were super helpful and made sure I got a taxi to my accommodation post Hop city yesterday. I haven't tried their food but I will next time I'm in Leeds.

This is a great pub tucked in a side street. I actually went twice and had great vegan pub food both times. Very welcoming to visitors.

A good distance from the city center, less so from the main train station. So if you’re just arriving or waiting to head out on a train, this place is (maybe) worth the walk. A cool little pub in a clearly gentrifying area. Interior is rustic yet modern. They had only two of the four cask handles active. Not to mention at £5 a pint this was the most expensive beer during my Leeds trip. Service was spotty. The guy was friendly and welcoming. The Jersey Shore looking girl acted like she’d rather be anywhere else. Which is cool, just leave your laptop at home or maybe even stay home rather than bring your misery to work and project on other people.

We were visiting Leeds for 4 days and stopped in for dinner. We've had drinks here before on previous visits but never food. It didn't disappoint. Nothing fancy, just pie and mash chased with gin and tonics. Decent selection of cask and draft beers. Friendly service and clean toilets.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Great choices of traditional very well cooked roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with fresh hot vegetables and plenty of gravy. Also nice choice of tapas. The churros and chocolate sauce were a winner to finish off with. Fantastic choice of local beer also. Service from our waitress was also 1st class.

Stopped in for a beer on the way back from the football after taking a different walk to the station. Really glad we did, knew this place was here but often don’t go past so haven’t visited before. Lovey little pub, nice atmosphere and a fantastic selection of beers and wines too. We liked it so much we ordered a Sunday roast too! Nice beer dinner with the usual trimmings. Looks a small portion at first but the perfect size and all tasted delicious. Looking forward to visiting again

We booked into The Cross Keys for the first time. We went for Sunday lunch expecting the normal type of Sunday roast, but we were pleasantly surprised with what they had to offer. The chicken and pork accompanied by lovely vegetables were excellent, the sauces to go with each meat were also lovely. The staff were very good and made the overall experience great.

I've always used this pub as an "post-drinks" place for the Northern Monk beer festivals - Unassuming from the front of the pub, but never a disappointment for the reasons I visit, always has a great selection of beers on cask and various keg beers on offer, great selection of craft beers - especially a very well kept stock of Belgian Lambics if you fancy sharing a bottle with some friends. Staff are always welcoming and good for a chat when things are quiet. I've been there until closing a few times, and I would say the staff are definitely very patient with the beer nerds like me hanging around!! So thanks for that guys!! Good size beer garden out the back. I can't comment on the food as I've never ordered

I have been a few times over the years for Sunday lunch and generally really happy with the food and atmosphere. This time, I was disappointed with the food. The starter was luke warm, and the Yorkshire puddings just looked like they were shop bought rather than freshly made (Aunt Bessie style - just bigger). Expected a bit more.

I work in the area so occasionally come to cross keys after work when looking for a drink. Lovely big beer garden. For some reason more often than not when passing by the pub is quite empty with a surplus of staff milling about. When interacting the staff are not overly chatty / friendly, and give the impression you’ve interrupted their group chat with their colleagues. Cat was always lovely, and it’s a shame she’s left now. When the pub is busy it’s a lot more comfortable to pop in for a drink (as it doesn’t feel like you’re in there on your own with 6 members of staff) and it is really a lovely pub from a decor point of view. Food is ok- not blown away, but ok if you’re looking for something to go with your drink. Popped in last year and ordered and was charged incorrectly, and was told ‘whoops we gave you an old menu- we’ve upped our prices now’, and I wasn’t given the option of cancelling my order as a result- which I was a bit disappointed by. Would definitely keep my eye next time when ordering food re the cost, but appreciate perhaps that was a one off. Overall it’s nice enough if you go in at a peak time, as it gets a bit busy but never as busy as the other local pubs (midnight bell, water lane boathouse), so you can generally always find somewhere to sit. Has a good selection of beers. I’d come back, but it wouldn’t be my first choice in the area. Hopefully once summer picks up so will the general feeling of the pub.

The typical English pub, where to go for a beer or a Sunday roast. I have been here several times with friends and alone. The music is simply great, as well as the selection of beers. Food is not just pub food, you can also find vegetarian options. Close to the station and the city centre, it always pleases me and my friends...

Ordered the pork sandwich it doesn't state anywhere on menu about black pudding. I HATE black pudding. Sandwich came with more black pudding than pork. Crackling was just a white deep fried crisp. Curried lamb pie barely any meat in it, filled with chicken peas.

i don't think it's any surprise that the ales/beers in here are absolutely spot on. but i just wanted to shout about the pies, too! this was one of the hot pies that they serve at the bar as opposed to something from the menu. it was absolutely gorgeous. ended-up having one with my first pint & another with my second! (steak & then chicken). really beautiful flavoursome pie, packed with fillings. a match-day essential if you're heading to elland road!

As I read from another review online: Great Pub, Average Grub. The Cross Keys has a lot of charm and character, with a wide variety of drink selection and tentative staff. However, our Sunday Roast was, regrettably, disappointing. All four of our meals were rather cold, and the portion sizes left a lot to be desired. One meal only came with one parsnip and a small amount of cabbage. The meat portion sizes were also small for the prices asked. Hopefully this was a one off, as this lovely pub has so much potential!

This pub entered new ownership just before the pandemic hit and did a stylish refurbishment. What you get now is a freindly, cosy pub that gives that country pub vibe whist enjoying all the benefits of being at the heart of the city. Exciting selections of beers on offer, freindly attentive staff and delicious food. The addition of a string of outdoor lights and outdoor heaters create a warm soft ambience that is super pretty. Also yay for outdoor heaters in pandemic times.

First visit (driven past many times & kept saying 'Must try there!) & not disappointed. Booked a table (recommended, it was busy) for Sunday Lunch; very pleasant welcome and nice atmosphere. Food when it came (Roast Beef, Roast Pork, Steak & Ale Pie) was delicious, but it was a bit slow, probably due to being so busy, hence the mark down on that aspect. Not to detract from the staff though, they were super. Return visit definitely on the cards. Thanks all.

Really enjoyed a birthday meal here. We tried the Hollywood menu which was delicious. The service was brilliant too, it was great to have each course described and explained each time. It's a tasting menu, so you don't leave feeling absolutely stuffed, however I was definitely full enough, and there are add ons if you are particularly hungry. The price is very reasonable too, will definitely be back to try other menus.
