The Cross Keys in Powys

We held my daughter's 21st birthday party at The Cross Keys at the beginning of October 24. The venue is fantastic. We had a DJ in the main building, the dance floor was great and there was bags of atmosphere. The garden and yurt are beautiful and looked magical lit up. Shan and Darren were fabulous hosts and helped with setting up. The night was a great success. I would highly recommend booking this venue.

Recently visited with a large family group - a chance for 3 generations to get together and meet my new baby. The garden and yurt were a beautiful venue, so well laid out and the younger kids loved the yurt. It was great to have a space to enjoy and relax on a sunny day. The food was delicious and we got fantastic service, with Shan and Darren opening the garden for us when inside was closed for another event. So welcoming. Everyone in the family enjoyed our visit and commented on what a great space the garden was. Those local will be visiting again!

As visitors to the area we popped in to be nosey and were so impressed with the welcoming warm atmosphere that greeted us inside. The cream tea was perfect, beautiful homemade scone and playing scrabble infront of an open fire with refreshments was so relaxing, we loved how there were so many zonal areas to the cross keys with plenty to keep both kids and adults entertained and the secret garden at the rear is stunning, we will be back for sure thankyou very much.

Fantastic stop off on our way to Lake Vyrnwy. Coffee was top quality and the toasted tea cake was spot on. Service excellent. The interior is amazing - great community feel. Particular mention to the person who served our coffee who was training - brilliant job! If we are passing we will certainly call again.

Such a wonderful service and place. Highly recommend. We ordered an afternoon tea for ten people to takeaway - the food was absolutely delicious, all dietary requirements catered for with such thought (vegan and gluten free) and the service was helpful, friendly and efficient.

This is such a brilliant place to come for cream tea. The owner taught our big group from the manor house about how the pub got its name and told us scriptures from the bible. We felt very welcome and included and the scones were divine.

Lovely little cafe based in an old pub. Great sofas to sprawl on and nice and cool on a hot day. Sandwiches were excellent, served by a charming young woman. Very good ice cream too. Highly recommended.

What an amazing place this is! We were greeted with such a warm welcome and seeing that my friend and I had our little ones with us, we were shown straight to their sensory room, which is amazing! Toys, lights, beanbags, chalkboards, just to name a few bits. Kids sorted, now for us mumma's. The coffee and cakes were delicious! This is such a versatile place and such a community driven venue. They have so much going on it's just awesome including a community kitchn for those struggling. If you haven't been then you really should!

Had a lovely lunch in the cross keys, really well priced toastie and salad. The owner came over to say hi, really lovely lady. A proper hidden gem here will definately be back. The milkshakes and ice cream looked amazing

We received a warm welcome and a tasty light lunch in this community led lovely old building with an open fire and great atmosphere. A great place to break our journey and long may it continue.

What an absolutely lovely place. Turned up on a very wet Tuesday to be greeted with a warm smile and to be told that everything was free and we were just to make a donation. The food was lovely and everyone was welcoming. Warmed us up on a miserable day. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Chanced across this lovely place late afternoon, we were immediately welcomed by the friendly, informal staff (no pretentiousness here), enjoyed a really delicious home-made meal, the vegan chilli was so tasty, the salad with char-grilled veg was delightful and beautiful presented. It is such a lovely setting with an open fire, lots of local produce used and very reasonably priced, highly recommended.
