We ordered a baked camembert sharing starter which we sent back as it wasn't cooked in the middle, when a replacement arrived it did look like the same one we had returned as the cooked edges had now solidified so only the middle was edible. The sausage and mash main meal was fine.

Madge likes Nicholson's pubs. Not the cheapest (£12.50 for pint of Wainwright and pint of Madri.) Always has a good range of real ale. My Wainwright was excellent. The rooms wrap around the central bar. Seven real ales. Lovely interior and well dressed for the festive season 2024. Small rear beer patio. Couple of TV's and unobtrusive background music. Great location and views of rear end of the Minster. Food, especially pies, looks good. Only my 3rd visit here in many York visits.

First visit to the Cross Keys tonight and was very impressed. The food and drinks were superb, but the service from Nicky and Sam deserved a 5 star review on its own. They were clearly tired and worn out from what had been a very busy day, but still managed to maintain a smile a friendly chat and a very warm welcome to the pub. Overall an excellent first impression, so full credit to them.

Absolutely disgusted in the service of this place woman behind the bar was ignorant serving everyone else but me there was 2 people in front of me after she served them she went to other side of the bar I tried to get her attention after she finished serving she blanked me and went to other side to serve others

Great place to spend an autumn afternoon but food left a bit to be desired. Update 14 Oct. 2022. Have eaten at lunchtime on several occasions and completely nice so comment on food updated as good.

Cask not great. Ordered Wainwrights and a Nicholsons pale. The Wainwrights was served to us flat as anything. Asked for a head to be put on it. Sat down for a few mins and within that time it went flat again to the point it looked like cider. Wish I took a photo. Husbands Nicholsons was "ok but not great". Took Wainwrights back and swapped it for something else. That wasn't great either. So just drank half of it and left. Went to a place near Shambles were it was cold and creamy to the last sip. Might need some advice from them! Shame as this is actually a nice pub.

Staff friendly and welcoming. Quick service and Sky Sports a bonus. Food quality was edible but not worth the prices. Fries were on a par with a well known chain of drive-through restaurants beginning with M. Chicken oily, overcooked and bland. Portion small and a scanty piece of garnish. Lovely pub and atmosphere but food prices should reflect the quality (halved?)

The Cross Keys is a grand example of a Victorian corner pub situated on the busy thoroughfare of Goodramgate in full view of the East Wing of The Minster. As a Nicholson’s run establishment it retains all its history while being fresh and modern, although some aspects of the pub have seen better days, especially the toilets. The Main room is a large airy space with plenty of seating but still leaves a good sized standing space at the large L shaped bar. There are TVs in the front room for those that like to partake in some sports, with more seating out of the way around the side and a quiet back room. Out at the back is a small walled courtyard which is partially covered, this is where you get some pretty impressive views of The Minster. But here we come to the main deciding point for the Cross Keys, the 12 hand pumps that adorn the bar which once upon a time served a decent range of cask ales. Not today though, as out of a possible 12 cask lines we were left with only one beer! It would seem they had run out of beer at 5pm on a Saturday! What is a pub without beer? Well a pretty crap one really. What was severed wasn’t great either and the prices will put a real dent in your pocket. I'm not sure what happened to the Cross Keys of late as the other Nicholson's run pubs in York are far superior. We certainly won't be rushing to return here and with such a varied choice of pubs in York I'd recommend finding somewhere else.

We started off with some duck croquettes, which were delicious and served in generous portions. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to visiting again when the weather warms up to make the most of their outdoor beer garden. Highly recommend for a relaxed hangout with good food and a great vibe!

Very atmospheric pub, old worldly and open fires . Very popular so very busy , courtyard with heating out front for the over flow of people . Pricing was the same as the Cross keys further down- 3 Pints and 1 Gin and tonic (single) = £26.10 - but York ain't cheap anywhere so expect these prices .

Had lunch here on a day out to the York Christmas Market. A traditional Victorian pub in a busy central location, it's really handy for the Minster and only a couple of minutes walk from Monk Bar and the city walls. The outside seating area has a great view of the Minster. Inside, there's a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, traditional decor and furnishings, log fires and Sky TV. Nicely decorated for Christmas. Clean downstairs toilets. There's a roomy bar lounge, but I had my lunch in the cosy snug at the back of the pub. The staff were hospitable and friendly, and although it was quite busy, service was quick and attentive. There's an extensive drinks menu with an amazing variety of gins, real ale, wines and spirits, and they also serve hot drinks. Excellent choice of starters and mains, more imaginative than your average pub food, and a wonderful selection of homemade pies. Opted for the wild boar and chorizo pie with clotted cream mash, thyme roasted carrots and a jug of rich gravy. Well cooked, hot, good quality ingredients and full of flavour. Had a nice Merlot to accompany the meal. The desserts looked really good, but I was just too full! The price was reasonable too. Would recommend this pub for lunch if you're visiting York.

It was not a good experience. The food was terrible. Half of the menu was unavailable. What was available was barely edible and unfortunately, cold. You can tell this has been this way a while, as the place was not busy at all for a Saturday evening. We left half our meals. The staff were excellent though, and were very accommodating. Safe to say we'll give this place a miss in the future.

Great pub that is like Dr Who's Tardis. I like my bitter and the pints were great showing that they are looking after three ale and lines. We also ate there and had a couple of changes to the advertised menu that they accommodated without any problem. Food was very good with lovely crispy batter on my fish. If you are in York this is a must go to venue. Great service Great beer and Great food.
