The Cross Keys, Fulstow in East Lindsey

Having been before and enjoying the food was bitterly disappointed last time we went only two sunday lunches left on a Sunday at 12.15 so decide to have one couldn't chew the beef everything else seemed as if had just been warmed up in the microwave.The pub itself is lovely and the staff are very pleasant.

The idea of a pub lunch today was planted in my mind so we set off to the X Keys in Fulstow. It’s been a while since we had been here and we were happy to be going back on a very warm lovely day. After being greeted by a nice lady behind the bar we decided to have a G&T and my husband had a lime and soda (driving) she brought us the menus and left us to look through them……..specials menu, ordinary menu. Hubby chose the lamb and mint pie with mash and peas with yummy gravy I had the Brie wedges with salad and chilli sauce. They were both delicious, we then opted for lemon sponge n custard for me and apple/toffee tart for him…we couldn’t finish them ☹️ Thank you Emma (landlady) it was lovely and we will be back

Always a good pint....Great locals and even better food....opted for the takeaway on Friday night.....only thing I can say is first class.

Really good Sunday dinner, roast beef and all the trimmings. Fresh, tasty selection of vegetables and lovely beef and yorkshire pudding. Friendly and attentive staff gave a very warm welcome, will be calling again. P.S My son had the chocolate fudge cake and he said it was fantastic.

We've been a few times already for Sunday lunch and it seams to get better everytime! Proper prawns in the prawn cocktail and my garlic mushrooms were really tasty. Meat cooked perfectly, nicely roasted potatoes, veg cooked just right and a big jug of proper gravy on the side! Friendly local pub, Emma and the team are always so friendly and accommodating with my special requests!

This is a lovely village pub that is friendly and inviting They serve a good selection of drinks and food The service is always excellent Plenty of seats inside and out A good sized car park It is all you need for a great night out

Great food and service warm welcome Hidden gem in Fulstow very warm welcome and efficient service by both landlady and waitresses x

tried this place for the first time 2 weeks ago and was presently pleased. The food was freshly cooked and you could tell it was "proper food" nd none of this microwave rubbish, we will be returning very soon!!

What a hidden gem, last Sunday driving in the Lincolnshire worlds I came across this place an absolute Gem. I called in for some directions and ended up having the best Sunday roast ever ( local Lamb from the farm just down the road ) followed by a taste sensation Cherry Bakewell Cheesecake washed down with a pint of real ale which there was a choice of three I went for the Batemans Gold.The open fire was a delight and the staff very friendly.

Popped in for tea on a Monday which is burger night. Had Hunters Chicken Burger, which came with salad and chips. Presentation was fantastic, service by Maddie with a smile, best burger we've ever had. Thank you

We called in for Sunday lunch as we had been a couple of weeks earlier and enjoyed our meal. Today the beef was that tough that we all had to leave it. We told the young girl who served us and she looked embarrassed and apologized. When we came to pay we also complained to the Landlady who did not apologize but simply said that table over there thought it was ok. After our visit today we will not be recommending the Cross Keys.

Up to the pub for a few holiday drinks and a bit of fun There Cross Keys is a massive part of village life The pub not only offers great food but great entertainment Back to the quiz great host, fun questions and great selection of drinks Mix in great company a real good evening was had by all Truely a very friendly pub

Quite simply a lovely village pub, nice landlady and staff serving what I would call good home cooked food , great portions and excellent value. We had chicken goujons and garlic mushrooms for starters which were both first class and we both had the beef burger which we doubled up for an extra couple of quid. The burgers are clearly homemade and I would go as far as saying it was one of the best I've had. Only minor critisism (from a lager lover)is no draught premium lager but had Coors and carling. This pub is a bit off the beaten track but trust me go and find it you won't be disappointed

The Cross keys has got the balance right between selling tasty looking meals and being a pubThe menu has something for mostA great choice of drinks if you are a gin drinker it could be a long nightPlenty of parkingA play park close bySet in a lovely village

The food is very good and portion sizes to match They do takeaway food as welll if you pre order Food is served d fresh and hot . Staff are happy to being extra gravy etc if necessary

Recently ate at The Cross Keys. Enjoyed 3 course meal served at a reserved table in the friendly bar. Drinks & meal order taken at the table. Adequate time given to choose. Varied menu available. Bar staff, waitress & food 1st class. Would we go again?Yes, definitely.

Good fresh pub food All cooked to order will be going again ,theres also a good selection of beers thankyou

We made a late booking for our ruby wedding anniversary and Emma Steve Mark and staff were brilliant . Thank you for giving us a fantastic day - wonderful food service atmosphere and of course beer . What a fantastic pub and asset to the village!!!!

We have visited the Cross Keys a few times now for Sunday lunch..... food is consistently good using fresh , home cooked ingredients , always hot & served with extra gravy in your own jug

Came to the area to visit a friend and this an exceptional place to grab a bite to eat, I found your website: thecrosskeys.ml to be extremely useful for looking at the menu. Thanks for the lovely meal!

Went for Sunday lunch yesterday, fresh, tasty, hot food, good size portions and great service, perfect for a dull winter afternoon.

The Cross keys is a great venue for a family

a well kept secret ,never to busy good staff excellent meal, nothing more to say except i dont know why everywhere cant serve such goog food

a lovely venue. very welcoming attentive staff. menu has something for every ones tastes. cooked fresh to order. portions very large. food tasty and hot. definitely will be returning again really soon. excellent. excellent. excellent

Booked a meal for 2 whilst staying in the area. I had steak and ale pie and my husband had Chilli Chicken Sizzler. Both were really nice. Dessert was treacle sponge and custard and cornflakes tart. Both again were delicious. Would recommend visiting the pub to anyone in the area.

Had a works meal for 12 and went to the keys again as last times food was so good. Yet again we were all blown away by the quality of the food and the brilliant service. This really is a little gem in Lincolnshire and recommend a little drive out and some of the best food I have ever had from a little pub!!!

We regularly visit this pub. Food is delicious and the staff are so friendly as are the regulars. Great atmosphere, great food - what more could you want?

Had an anniversary lunch for son and daughter-in-law and families. Food was wonderful.

Very glad to be here today after riding the LWR steam train. Friendly and attentive staff, lovely lunch with starters from £4.95, roast dinner with choices of Beef - which we all had and great, too - pork or chicken, plenty of well cooked veg (none of this al dente nonsense), 2 jugs gravy, roast and mash potatoes, delish huge yorkie, stuffing. Forced ourselves to find a corner for a good choice of desserts, Bakewell tart, choc & toffee cheesecake, ice cream. Thank you Bonnie for the cheesecake, double yum. Total for 4 with drinks, £68.85. Thanks to all for an enjoyable time.

The Cross Keys is a little out of the way in between Grimsby and Louth however this is a very friendly pub

Have visited a few times for early evening meal; good quality and tasty food at a reasonable price; friendly and welcoming staff. Able to eat in bar area or in separate small dining room (or outside in nice weather). Well worth a visit.

Been here on numerous occasions, friendly landlord/landlady, dog friendly, wide selection of Gins, fabulous food, Sunday lunch is great and good value, vegetarian option available. cosy bar with log fire in the winter. A proper English country pub with car parking.

I attended a birthday party here , nothing was too much trouble for staff and owners. I must add they have a brilliant chef!!! Who produces outstanding food !!!

My wife had fish and chips that was fairly sized. I ordered the double burger only to be told they had one left, the waitress quickly offered to double it up with a chicken breast. The burger with the extra chicken was huge and tasted lovely. Genuinely can not recommend this pub enough.

This is a fantastic pub in a lovely Great choice of drinks Good choice of food Good value Great service And live music

Oh my goodness, the meals we both had here for Valentines Night were SUPERB no other word will do! Emma and Steve you have a wonderful “Chef” don’t let him go, your staff (Jazz) is so polite and lovely it all adds to the evening. We Thank You.

We booked a Valentine's meal with friends with high expectations and we were not disappointed. Warm welcoming atmosphere superb food excellent service thank you Emma Steve Mark and staff !!!!

Lovely home cooked food , staff are very welcoming , Sunday lunch is massive ! Would recommend to anyone wanting a bite to eat

My husband & I met a couple of friends here for a meal. Emma & her Staff very friendly, food was delicious, piping hot & very tasty. We would recommend this small friendly village pup to everyone. All their food is from local growers. All fresh, fish fresh from the docks. Ambiance of the Cross Keys friendly & cosy. Well done Emma, Steve, Jazz & Staff.

Best Sunday lunch I've had in a long time !! Friendly staff and locals . Dogs allowed in the bar if you want to eat with your canine friend .

We enjoyed a great meal the other night. High quality pub food... I enjoyed a beautiful beef n ale pie followed by rhubard crumble mmm. A very warm welcome from the staff and nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend the Cross Keys...

A 20 minute drive out into the countryside to a lovely pub run by a really welcoming family. The menu...

We were welcomed by the whole village over Christmas. We had the take away Christmas lunch. Wow. What a brilliant...

Me and my friends had a great time here. Food was excellent, friendly and kind service. All in all everything was wonderful.

Me and my family enjoyed our meal here very much! The menu had something for everyone and everything was great....

Went yesterday for Sunday dinner (they serve until tea time, which is great). Cannot fault any part of this, Lovely cosy fire in the bar and friendly welcome from Emma, the owner. Dinner served with no delays, piping hot and absolutely delicious,

Just come back from having a fabulous roast dinner at the Cross Keys, our starters was garlic mushrooms and prawn cocktails; all of which were plenty and very tasty. Most of us in our party had roast pork and a roast beef, all came with a variety and plentiful vegetables cooked to perfection and lashings of gravy. As always Emma and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming, so very lucky to have this venue on our door step and would always recommend the Cross Keys, fabulous food

Went for Sunday lunch with my family and the staff were really pleasant. The pub decor wasn't about to win any awards but that didn't take away at all from the experience. The food was excellent. Really old school Sunday lunch with tasty gravy. The desserts were excellent too, I had chocolate concrete with custard and another one of my party had cornflake cake and my mother in law had a cheesecake which was made locally apparently. It was all great. Will be visiting again.

Well what a lovely surprise this restaurant/pub is! Standing on the corner of a little rural village near Louth, you could easily drive through and think nothing of it but what a mistake that would be! Step inside and you will find a cosy pub, a warm friendly welcome and a cosy restaurant at the back. If pubs aren't your thing then you could just go straight to the restaurant but the pub itself is lovely with a good selection of wines, beers, ales and spirits.The menu in the restaurant is varied with something for everyone, even the fussiest of eaters. I can highly recommend both the salmon and mixed grill, but if you want something a bit spicier there is curry and good old fashioned local fish and chips.Everything was of good proportions, great value for money and served with a smile.I run a holiday cottage and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this establishment to all my guests.You can also choose from the same menu in the bar which is dog friendly.All in all a little gem!

Can't fault this place the food is lovely and the beer selection a plenty there's always a nice welcoming atmosphere to the pls e and always aim to please

You know when you really fancy a good Sunday roast? Well that’s what me and my husband wanted and it’s definitely what we got. The food was delicious, gravy was to die for. I would definitely recommend for people to try it here. We have eaten off the normal menu also which was gorgeous. Overall it’s a very lovely family run pub!

Welcoming pub both from the staff & the locals. Restaurant ambiance OK although tables a bit close together and music a little loud (subjective of course). I noticed the wall mirrors for the benefit of the guy who'd otherwise be staring at the wall - they obviously didn't get there by accident. Service was prompt & friendly. Excellent starters - Broccoli & stilton soup and an interesting stuffed pastry of Greek origin. Mains were fish & chips and chix à la crème, both of which were served piping hot with a crispy mixed salad. The former was as it should be, but the cream somewhat unsubtly swamped the chicken - a comment rather than a complaint. We declined desserts which indicates our appetites are no longer what they were 50 years ago! Full marks for a well chosen selection of ales. The Axholme brew was superb if a little strong, but XB is a good local quaffing beer. Summary: a well run pub, a little above average and one that I would hesitate to drive past at mealtime.

this is a great place to eat friendly staff food great good car parking set in nice village , we had the burger and chips which was one of the best iv had

Had Sunday lunch with my family today, the food was lovely and there was plenty of it! Pudding was delicious too.

Went for a family Meal there. Pre booked for 20 people and staff really pulled it off. Was so well looked after and the food was to die for. Of the 20 people not one had any complaints about the service or the food. The beef was so soft and lovely we will be going back again. The bar staff can't do enough for you and the waitress rhianna felt with everything with a happy smile on her face. 2nd visit and will be back again for a small team they really can rise the big occasions recommend a visit to anyone !!!

Excellent meal, lovely service and Rubarb crumble. With a nic.Pin GIN time try. Perfect afternoon

Popped in as we are thinking of moving to the village. What can I say just such a refreshing change, great service with a genuine smile, some of the best pub food I've tasted in a while. Local produce and home made at a really reasonable price too! Dogs are very welcome inside bar area and outside, not the restaurant naturally but food is served the bar so you can bring your well behaved pooches alongWill definitely be back recommend with Grimsby fish and chips and homemade steak and ale pie

What can I say the food here is proper homemade on site and is faultless. The Sunday roast was spot on and the service was excellent. Lovely country pub very clean inside and out and the locals made us feel we had known them for years. Definitely will be back.

Me and my husband took my mum and son for meal on the 5th of August, we have been before but not had a meal under new ownership. Very pleasant barmaid served our drinks and took our orders, all I can say was its the best pub meal we have had in Years! Me and mum had the salmon contessa....it was divine. Hubby had steak in ale pie, it was packed with meat and a sauce boat full of groovy gravy. Son had chicken goutions as a main, chicken was tender. We will be going again as prices are fair and everything cooked to perfection. Compliments to the Chef!

We were a party of 6 adults and 2 dogs who came across this pub by accident at lunchtime today. Some of us were really hungry, some not so hungry, but there was a great choice for everyone on the menu. I particularly enjoyed the cod goujon salad and my very hungry nephew has an enormous plate full of club sandwiches with fries and salad. We split the bill at £11 a head including drinks and everyone really enjoyed their meal.

Having spent the morning gardening we arrived ready for our Sunday lunch. The bar area was very quiet so our order was taken quickly. The food arrived quickly, one beef and one pork with stuffing, a couple of roast potatoes and a Yorkshire Pudding, followed by peas, carrots and leeks in cheese in separate dishes and a boat of gravy. We were both hungry so ate, but I have to say it was not good, the meat was in evenly cut slices with no 'shavings' that you get from freshly sliced joins of meat, so I guess it was pre cooked. My pork was tasteless, the roast potatoes were over cooked so had gone sour, the Yorkshire pudding was burned the peas were hard, the leeks under cooked and the carrots were the only thing I truly enjoyed. The beef was also tasteless. Such a disappointment, especially as the pub is under new management. On the plus side the service was good, dogs are allowed in the bar and there is a good selection of draught beer. However this is the second time we have been for food and had poor food. I don't think we will be returning.

Excellent! Was over from Leeds yesterday visiting family and decided to try the Cross Keys at Fulstow for lunch with the family as heard it’s under new management. We all really enjoyed the food and the country pub atmosphere. We had the Fish & Chips, Chicken a la Crème and Club Sandwich, all were delicious, the Bateman’s XB was superb too – could have stopped all afternoon!Good service and friendly staff too, a proper country pub, could tell the chief took a real pride in the food, not your usual pre-made warmed up stuff, looking forward to going back!.

Great foodGreat serviceReally enjoyed sunday lunch went with friends who were visiting.Will be returning again soon.

What a delightful little pub. Welcoming, polite friendly staff. Wonderful meal, presentation excellent, flavours perfect. Was our first visit, we will be back. Definitely recommend. Thank you

What a lovely place to be. A lovely old English pub with good family values. The service was amazing and food was to die for. Believe me when i say your are getting good restaurant quality food for pub prices. Everything we all had was cooked to perfection and the service faultless. They have some great beers on tap and obviously know how to look after the beer correctly. Good prices friendly place great beer and top food what more can you want!?. RECOMMEND 100%we will be back!

Visited at the beginning of the month with my Nan and 2 children, food was faultless, hearty, tasted pub food. Staff brilliant with kids. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you xxx

Thought we'd come again for dinner, we were not let down. The food was amazing, thank you to Mark the Chef and the service was excellent. The atmosphere here is lovely, very welcoming and nothing seems too much trouble. All in all a lovely evening. We were planning on eating and being home for 9pm, we didn't end up leaving until 10.30pm. Would highly recommend a visit.

Staying just up the road we popped in for a meal without booking, after a pint and pre chosen our food choice we were shown to our table and our starter was presented almost immediately followed by our main later I have to say it was fantastic and the 80s music playing softly in the background was a bonus thankyou and we will be back soon --- great food great service

Brilliant roast!!! Lovely fresh veg from local suppliers :) and good quality meet.. will go back.. friendly team and great atmosphere.. didn't book and the pub was busy.. still got seated quickly.. couldn't have been looked after better

Returned from weekend away and decided to have evening meal at the Keys. Emma and team never let you down friendly and helpful staff and Mark's food as impressive as ever!! Well done all!!

We visited this afternoon for an early dinner. We was all very impressed with the home cooked food. We came with a dog so we sat outside but we was offered a table in the bar by the very friendly owner. I had the cherry bakewell cheesecake. This was delicious. One of the best ive ever tasted. We will definately be coming back. It is so nice where you are welcome to take a dog and be able to have great food. Both the owners and the chef are all very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for the dog snacks. Just another little touch which makes this pub so friendly

When former locals take to the serving side of the bar, you just know the right ideas are going to be implemented, and they have!They know what beers people want, what entertainment, snacks, food, the lot.Everything is sourced locally according to the menu, and given the location in Lincolnshire, we know that means top quality produce (and certainly fish!)Their variety of gin is not to be snubbed either, given the recent surge in popularity the collection on offer has grown, with Louth's very own distilled "Pin Gin" as one of the many offerings.I'd definitely recommend a visit whether you're passing by or local, as you're guaranteed good food, pints and a warm welcome by the management Emma and Steve Metcalf.

Over the last few years this pub has change hands so many times that it was hard to say from one day to the next whether the food or service was going to be good or bad. How ever after my visit today I am delighted to see it is now in safe hands. The food is beautifully presented, well prepared and served by charming staff. I had a Toasted Club sandwich, which came with lovely hot chips, a fresh side salad and creamy coleslaw. The sandwich was well filled with chicken and bacon. The young lady that served us was friendly, chatty and made us very welcome.Although we were quite full, we decided to have desert and we ordered the Red Berry Cheesecake. This was presented beautifully, a lovely thick cheesecake with berries and fresh strawberries on top, served with icecream ( or cream) and drizzled with chocolate sauce. It was pretty to look at and tasted creamy and delicous.Overall, a lovely way to spend a Monday lunchtime. Will be back soon for seconds. Yum Yum!!!

Lovely pub traditional, that also provides great meals, a great place to eat and drink, friendly pub

Wow what can one say beautiful meal hot served with a pleasant manner what a laugh to be asked if you want to see the desert menu after the main course you are absolutely full. Keep up the super food.

we had never been here before, Fulstow is a lovely village near louth and we drove down the main street just to have a look at the village be for we went in to the pub,The pub is very nicely laid out with a separate dinning room , all tables are laid nicely and clean and warm atmosphere,we had booked for 6 o'clock staff gave us a warm welcome we got our drinks and sat in the bar while the lovely waitress took our order,i had the house burger with cheese bacon and chips my wife had chicken in some kind of source both were delicious and plentiful so much so we did not have a pudding,will be going again,want to try there other dishes.well done cross keys

Came across The Cross Keys on a walk around Fulstow village. We popped in for coffee but then decided to have the Sunday Lunch and we were so pleased we did. The meal was definitely one of the best Sunday lunches we have had anywhere. The food was beautifully cooked, hot & well presented. The portions were large with more then enough veg served in separate dishes. There is no doubt we will be returning in the not too distant future.

We are here now. The food is gorgeous. The staff are super friendly and fantastic with kids. We've been made to feel so welcome and even the chef popped out to say hello. We will definetly be back

First time we have been out for Sunday Lunch in years. Large helpings and piping hot food. Wide selection of beers. Really friendly staff and great service.Will definitely be back. Had a great time.

Visited last night for first time but will not be the last. Had a Salmon dish it was beautiful will definitely return and hope for Salmon to be on the menu again.

Had lunch 1st may with my husband and two friends. It was enjoyable, a nice country English pub. We also had the good fortune to be stopped at the railway station lock and had a first row seats to watch the quaint little steam train go by. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon if you are wondering where to go.

Over the last two or three years there has been no greater critic of the Cross Keys then me. However following a change of stewardship I am more than happy to change my mind.Now the atmosphere is warm and friendly from the minute you walk in the door You are greated with a smile making you feel welcome and appreciated. if it is cold there will be an open fire burning in the grate. The staff are ffriendly and can't do too much for you.Now they are doing meals again with a new chef. I have only heard good things about the food . Poeple are telling me I need to eat there.If you want a ffrinedly atmosphere good food, good company and a warm welcome come to the Cross Keys I promise you that you will not be disappointed and I am prepared to bet your first visit wont be your last.

Called in early about 4.30pm ordered 2 fish & chips, served quickly, piping hot, fish was excellent, light crisp batter moist fish, good chips, served with tartar sauce or a choice of other sauces of your choice. Been a long time since I had fish that good in a pub/restaurant. Really worth giving the place a go, staff friendly and a huge selection of drinks ~(gin) & cask beer

cannot fault, always fresh,tasty and nicely presented, nothing is too much trouble and staff make you feel very welcome

We're so pleased to be able to revisit here as the new management are truly turning this place around for the better. So good to visit a homely pub with fabulous food and an array of beers, wines and spirits to choose from. We just had a great Sunday lunch, it was absolutely delicious. The generous portions of food were truly homemade and served fresh and piping hot. With warm and welcoming hosts and staff, not to mention a fabulous chef, we would definitely recommend this place to anyone. We can't wait to return and sample more delicious food and great hospitality.

What a great village pub, full of atmosphere and a warm welcome from all the staff and a lovely open fire, fish and chips on Friday was top notch will definitely be going back x

5 stars to the new chef at the Cross Keys. Lovely Sunday lunch, good portion sizes and excellent service from all. Highly recommended

Came for the good Friday fish and chips, table was booked for 8:30pm arrived early for a few drinks and was welcomed warmly by Emma and Steve, food was 10/10 cooked to perfection and bigger than average portions!. Service was brilliant, will definatly be returning.

Everyone who hasn't been should go! I went for fish and chips last night and it was brilliant serves was great!Atmosphere was lovely and you got seen to right away. Emma,Steve and jasmine have done a brilliant job I will definitely be coming back for more :)

Our village pub has just been taken over by new managers who are very passionate about the pub. We decided to give it a try. It's been decorated beautifully. I felt very relaxed and the service was great. It was a fish and chips evening but I had scampi. I'm not a fan of chips due to them often being greasy. These chips were perfectly cooked. The scampi was a good size and tasted great. I pinched some of my daughters fish just to taste and it was very fresh with a light coating( not sure if it's a light batter or breadcrumb coating) but it was delicious. Plenty of bread and butter was available and deserts, apparently, went down very well. I'm looking forward to returning to sample some more dishes.

What can I say, we had a lovely evening. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. This pub has a really nice warm welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I visited the cross keys yesterday for good Friday fish and chips we had to book in advance as we had heard it was going to be busy and we were not disappointed .the place was full of laughter and smiles .As for the beer there were 3 to choose from my husband had bass it was excellent .Service was faultless as was the food will definitely be going back thank you Emma ,Steve and your fabulous team .

As a family we have regularly visited and since Emma and Steve have taken over it has a traditional pub vibe back. We tried the fish and chips on Good Friday and they were fantastic! Really happy customers. If you've previously had a bad experience please go back and re try!

We went to the cross keys with family and friends to the opening night of the restaurant it was good Friday so it was fish and chips had by all . The staff was very busy as the restaurant was fully booked we was taken to our table by Emma the new landlady and was served by jasmine nothing was to much bother our food arrived soon after we were seated and I must say it was excellent the batter on the fish was really light and just the right amount of chips . I would recommend a trip out . Well done to all who were working that night excellent service

Ignore any reviews prior to this month. Emma has only taken over in Apr 2017. Went last week when I heard she had taken over. The place was spotless and looked super. It is a functional village pub with a separate restaurant. Unfortunately she has no cook on a regular basis until the 16th Apr; so we could not have lunch. However, I have know her at Tetney Golf Club in a previous life where she was a stunning host and excellent organizer. Give the Cross Keys a try - experience says it will be good and reasonably priced. Geoff

Emma and steve are very welcoming and have really turned this pub around since they took over very recently. With a pool table, darts, Bingo and the quiz this pub is always full of friendly faces. Can't wait until they start food easter weekend.

We were running a bit late for Sunday dinner and had not been here for a couple of years aware it had changed hands a few times. On walking in the door was a floor was greasy near the kitchen exit and it had a feel it needed a good wash. We sat down and were brought some menus which looked like they had been used as a baby's bib it was that dirty. The cutlery on the table was also dubious and I nearly paid for my drinks and left. However I regretfully did not as it was too late in the day to get anywhere else to eat. I ordered a chicken Sunday roast. It was probably the worst roast dinner I have had anywhere! There was nothing and I mean nothing good about it and I ended up leaving most of it. I'm not spending anymore time on this review as this pub has some serious issues if it is happy with serving this type of food and my review is the least of their problems.

Been quite a few times for a meal at the Cross Keys pub and everytime the meals are great.If you want a typically friendly, country pub then try it. Can highly recommend the mixed grill and lamb shank.Its a lovely cosy atmosphere in the bar with excellent staff. Lovely girl behind the bar tonight couldn't do enough for us and the manager/chef did an excellent job. Will definitely be returning.

We visited after a brisk walk in the surrounding village for a drink and some food. The service was good and we were able to pay for drinks and food at the end of the meal. The food took a reasonable amount of time, but to be honest, it was not worth the wait. My lasagne was in a soup bowl, and consisted of lots of layers of pasta (6 in all) with white sauce and one scrimped layer of meat. The pasta was soggy, not firm, as the food had obviously been made quickly in the dish...even the cheese on top was barely melted. The salad garnish was good, but the garlic bread was basically soggy toast, not crisp or crunchy. The coleslaw was cheap and I only ate the salad and bread and shared half the lasagne with my dog, who ate the cheese. My husband ordered ribs and said they tasted similar to those from 'a low end supermarket' - mass produced ribs you get in bags to microwave. The chips, onion rings and corn on the cob was similar, cheap value products that do not fool anybody with a palette. A disappointing meal, if it had been one of our meals we might have put it down to the day, but both were barely edible. The meal was just short of £30 with soft drinks, not a value price for such obvious 'value' products. It's a shame as we had gone because dogs are allowed inside the pub, but not even being able to take my gorgeous pouch out would make me eat there again!

Went to the cross keys on Friday night for our anniversary, we both had a very good time, we also went on Xmas day, and as usual the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was good, and we will be going again. Many thanks,. Gary and Shirley.
