The Cross Keys in South Oxfordshire

Always a lovely welcome. Great beer selection.

Fantastic local pub in Thame. The staff and beers are unrivalled

Always busy and made to sit with people who are so called regulars as not enough seats. These people then ear wig on your conversation. Other regulars take over the pub. Went one Saturday evening and was told last orders at 10pm as they’d been open since 11. Surely that is pub hours plus only opens evenings in the week. Good if you want real ale and to sit crammed in with strangers.

First class friendly and welcoming pub. Well kept beers.

Excellent pub with a fine range of beers and ciders.

This quaint little pub always has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Bring your dog if s/he's well behaved too.

Great local pub, super kind staff and great beers are always on

Good pub, great place to socialise and have a drink

Came here for a comedy, what started off as a great night was spoilt greatly by the rude, arrogant staff only what can assume was because wasn't local regulars, especially as spent alot on overly priced drinks

Very good range of beers. A busy pub - which indicates its popularity. Not large, so creates a homely atmosphere.

No food but you can bring takeaways in to eat as far as I know. Check with the lovely staff.

Great pub but don’t talk to locals about politics you will be brow-bashed.

Great pub atmosphere is really classic and comfortable

Popped in new year eve. Great choice of different beers, excellent 👌

Replace food with drink. Best pub in Thame

Don't miss this pub of you are in Thame. They local XT brewery or other hosted brews.

Went for a gig in The Listening Room. What a great little venue. Enjoyed the pub downstairs as well. Definitely be on the lookout for another show 😁

Great pub (no food served) but a fab selection of pretzels, crisps & nuts. Excellently decorated especially for Halloween. It's just a fab place to go and unwind whilst enjoying a pint and drinking in the atmosphere

Proper pub. Good beer. Friendly people. No music blaring through speakers. Good quiz on a Wednesday evening.

Rude staff, bad environment, not good drinks selection, no parking, OVERALL bad experience

I was there for the first time. This is an amazing pab with plenty of character. Great place to chill out and play games. The staff are so friendly and charming. The atmosphere was lovely and welcoming. Love it.

Really great food staff friendly highly recommended

Wednesday night pub quiz was fun as usual.

Real cider! And real pork scratching! And cute sunny courtyard garden.

Probably a great place if you just want a traditional drinking place with lots of choice. Not for families. Staff were quite rude when I went in briefly to talk to a friend. Won't be going there again. They need to make it clear that children are not welcome. Dogs are though!

By far the cosiest pub in Thame

Delicious, special beers on tap. Cozy little place. Perfect for a small, quiet beer in the evening.

Great venue. Large selection well kept real ale

Good selection of beers. Nice backyard.

Great pub for someone of my age! Very cosy, nice atmosphere, always good for a chat and decent beer.

Great pub, with large selection of real ales and lagers. Always busy with good vibe.

Great selection of ever-changing real ales and crib boards galore

Great choice of beers, cosy, proper pub

Great place.... A real pub with great beer...

By far the best pub in Thame. Lovely atmosphere, great choice of well kept ales and friendly locals. Prices are reasonable as well. We'll be back!!

Excellent choice of beer in a cosy pub.

Good selection of beers- nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Lovely small pup with a huge range of good beer and welcomes dogs

Lovely proper boozer with great real ale selection. Lovely friendly staff.

the best real ale pub in thame, no-nonsense beers , no faff..

Always has a really good selection of cask ales.

Great place to meet up for a drink. Lovely atmosphere and good beer.

A proper pub. No food, no juke box and no pool. Just a lovely place to be with excellent ale.

Nice old world type pub. Good selection of drinks and nice atmosphere.

Nothing to say except, the best collection of Bitters, Premier largers and some incredible ciders. Great bar staff and a very friendly and polite customers

An absolute gem of a pub. Only does drinks but does it very well

Just visited the room upstairs which is a great small concert venue.

Great staff. Great beer selection (including 4XT). Great pub.

Nice traditional pub with a great selection of ales

Amazing friendly pub, the heart of the community

A small very friendly pub in Thame. Was visiting to watch a 3 day cricket match. 8 cask ales on tap, also cider, at reasonable prices. Loved the decor.

Always good. Great staff, beers and surroundings 😊

Always a pleasure, will be even better when we get rid of these stupid mask mandates and social distancing 👍

Great beer selection. Cosy characterful interior.

Real community pub. The last of the little corner pubs left in town. Massive congratulations to Peter and Katie Lambert for their labour of love over the years. Pre-lockdown they had live music and comedy nights, as well as real ales, board games, micro brewery and very friendly to human and doggy customers. During lockdown, rather than pour the ale from the cellar and brewery down the drain, they worked out a really safe and socially distanced way to sell it in containers for the local community to take home and enjoy. Really tough times for the whole hospitality industry now, so just want to say that this place is special and deserves our support

Poor pub, staff make you feel like they dont want you there , dead atmosphere

Great pub, so much choice, friendly staff, recently refurbished. Love it 😊

Friendly staff and a good pint.

Very friendly, good local beer, live music

Happened to visit on a Beer Festival Saturday. Good selection of local and not so local beers and cider. Interesting plaque on the wall.

Great selection of beer cider etc so what's not to like

Locals hangout, lots of puppies too.

A little bit off my beaten track, I came here to see a fantastic singer performing in the upstairs “Listening Room”. I wish this was closer to where I lived because I would certainly come here more often for the lovely country pub atmosphere and the delightful music venue with great sound and comfortable seating. Just make sure you wear some easily removable layers as it got very warm upstairs even though it was quite a chilly evening.

We often walk by this pub on the way into Thame and said we’d pop in as it looked friendly. Waited to be served at the bar, my partner was standing in line, sadly someone who was a local pushed in and got served first. The lady serving appeared indifferent and uninterested so we walked out. Not somewhere we’d go again.

I have visited this lovely pub six times in as many months and each time the miserable cow behind the bar has been regularly unfriendly. Maybe it’s me!

Great little pub, good atmosphere and friendly staff

What a fantastic pub with great atmosphere and selection of drinks, spoiled only by the sour faced woman behind the bar, with a permanent slapped fish face and attitude to boot.

This is a proper pub With all the beer you can think off the atmosphere is first class the hosts and the Bar staff excellent and very professional what a place to chill out . They also have live bands private function room Book your tickets and you will not be disappointed We wish the hosts and BAR STAFF A Happy Christmas ⛄️

This is a great pub for any age . Good brewery. We use it alot. Very cosy great bar staff. Wonderful friendly pub. The Listening Room is a wonderful venue upstairs. Last night we saw two acoustic guitar player's. James Kirby such a talented man obsoletely fantastic singer songwriter harmonicer player . He did thing's with the guitar I have never seen before. For a price of £5 entry fee. Sice the second act was really good entertainment. Completely different. I good evening out.

I really love this bar. I just wish it was my local. Always a great atmosphere Wide selection of ales and even More gins. Very friendly staff See you soon.

I really liked it here, good beer, classically tapped with a hand tap and also normally tapped with cooling. Interesting posters also from the Czech Republic 🙂

Comfortable bar ..think the land lady was having an off day ..but dont we all ...will call again

A wonderful pub with no frills but a brilliant atmosphere. A proper local where people actually talk to each other! (I know - what a shock!) The beer is great, there is a HUGE array of gins, the wines are lovely and the regulars aren't bad either. What's not to love

I always visit friends there when i visit Thame from South Africa.

Lovely and relaxed place with a fine selection of real ales.

Great pub no frills no juke box or fruit machine just excellent choice of beers and ciders and the odd bottle of gin

Great selection of real ales, some from the on site brewery (Thame). Comfortable corner house, but no food is available, only bar snacks. Well worth a visit.

We love this pub beer so good, lovely night thank you xx

Good choice of craft beers is only positive ...clicky pub ....boring

Brief visit but usual great choice of ales and a quiet pint or three..

Quaint little pub, nice atmosphere, good selection of guest beers. Old school bar mats on the ceiling kind of place for when you want a drink and a chat.

If you like real ale then look no further. This a proper pub that sells a range of ales some that are brewed on site. Cross keys is an only school pub with decent beer, bar snacks and no slot machines. It's a great place for meeting and having a chat over a decent pint.

We came for the music.. loved it. And good beer...

Friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent drinks and range of beers.

Friendly pub. Nice beer. Decent staff. Busy but chilled out at the same rime

Best drinking pub in Thame. Well kept beer and cider and a wide variety of other drinks

Our regular venue for doing Carols round the Pubs! Especially with our Chinnor Silver Band!

Lovely cozy pub, lots of real ales and amazing selection of gin

Amazing selection on tap and on Gin, Vodka & Whisky's . You be hard pressed to find a better local pub in Thame. The staff are really friendly here and make you feel like a local even if your not.

Great place to have a chat and a drink. Selection of real ales.

Local beers. Craft beers. Micro brewery. Nice friendly atmosphere where you feel as though everyone knows each other. Probably the best pub in Thame.

Old quaint pub good selection of real beers

Warm and cosy. No tv's, no music, no hot food, just good ambience and how pubs used to be and should be. Real ales on tap great choice. A pub pub!

My kind of pub. Traditional & cosy. No music. No fruit machines. No meals. No kids. Just good ale, bar snacks and a brilliant atmosphere. Wish I lived in Thame, as I would make it my local 😊👍

A wonderful cosy little pub. The landlord is always around and the pub dog is funny to watch. Low roofs, weird steps and always slightly too warm. Perfect British pub. Great selection of local ales and includes a microbrewery as well as the normal spirits larger and ciders. Great pub a real gem of Thame.

We loved coming here especially around Christmas as they decorate the inside beautifully but the miserable bar lady has finally put us off. I hadn’t been for a while and as soon as I got served I remembered why I stopped visiting. I don’t want a conversation but I’d like to be acknowledged and I’d like to not feel that I’m creating a lot of work by ordering drinks with someone who’s paid to serve them. A grunt and a huff/puff is what I’ve been greeted with, it can’t be put down to having a bad day either as she’s like it constantly.A real shame, as others have pointed out too, as I won’t visit again.

Great Christmassy cosy atmosphere enhanced by good ale and mulled wine

Lovely pub with good selection of real ales
