The Cross Keys - Henley in Mid Suffolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Well run family friendly pub with lots of music and activities 🍺

What a wonderful little pub in a beautiful setting! Coming from Aotearoa NZ, I found this magical little corner of Suffolk to be a quintessential English pub, and the weather was perfect for sitting in the garden as the sun set. What awesome people with beautiful standards: sourcing local produce, cooking great food, and creating a community atmosphere.

Great place to park for the night owners and staff very friendly and a brilliant pint of cider as well

Such a lovely place to eat. Friendly staff and well priced and varied menu. Would definitely recommend 👌

What a find! I was just looking for a place to pitch my tent for the night but found this gem of a community project pub with a wild flower meadow where you can camp. Plus the was a biker night to boot! The Ghanaian curry was amazingly delicious 😋

Did two nights camping at Cross keys very nice friendly people they made us fill at home .super fresh good from restaurant 👌

A brilliant pub. Lovely team and friendly people. Real sense of community. Food & drinks are sourced locally and organic where possible. Lots of activities. Real hub and fun place.

Lovely friendly service and great breakfast made from locally sourced produce. Would highly recommend visiting this quaint village pub for a Sunday Brunch.

Very quirky inside. Lovely food. Nice big garden area.

Wonderful Pub, so glad we stumbled across it. Food was amazing and everyone was lovely. Great for kids as well as there space to run around and lots of stuff to play with. Definitely be coming back often.

It was my first time at cross keys and I feel inspired to leave my first ever Google review! Menu was simple but everything appealed. I settled for a recommendation from another diner…. Ghana chef- amazing mackerel curry, really incredibly tasty with different textures and excellent value. Washed down with locally brewed lager. The smaller bar was buzzing with a darts competition going on in a neighbouring room and the main room was filling up with some local talented folk arriving with an array of instruments for the fortnightly open mic… It had such a friendly feel. The music and poems recited were wonderfully calming and entertaining. Thank you for creating this unique and wonderful place. May you continue to thrive!

Had to send drinks back as they were cold, but lovely once changed

Lovely atmosphere and people, really like the food truck with polish food as well

I did not buy anything from here however, after running into some car troubles I pulled into the car park and asked the owner for some bottled water as my car was overheating, so he got some old bottles and filled them with tap water for me for free! seems like a really nice place and very friendly staff. :)

Very welcoming and friendly. Food was good and a fun quiz night.

Went for brunch today. Thought it was very nice. Also thought we’d come back for lunch or dinner one day and include it as a stop on long country walks. Very friendly staff, good food and a nice feel to the place. Will be nice in the summer when we can sit outside too. It’s been remodelled since it was last open under the last owners. There’s even a piano in the hallway.

Amazing people, amazing venue. Next level in every respect. I had the tumeric latte and it was exceptional. There was option to have with dairy or oat milk. I didn't eat myself on my visit, but the food that others were eating looked divine! Would recommend checking this hidden gem out for yourself!

fantastic vibe, amazing staff and a relaxed atmosphere

A lovely space with inviting decor. Love all the hanging plants everywhere and the eco touch. Went to the Wednesday quiz night with friends and it was really fun. Mexican food was delicious and fresh. Loved the ethos of the place. Will be back and will bring my kids next time!

Fantastic Place!! Absolute love the return of Bike Nights at what was an iconic bike meeting place in the 70’s & 80’s. Great food, great staff. Very friendly and helpful.

Great Little nook, tucked away from the main town. Good service and atmosphere, has the potential to become a well-renowned local.

Genuinely a wonderful place to spend an evening. Food, drink, staff and atmosphere are always second to none. Have had some great times down here with family and friends. Ps. asked for the smash chicken burger. Even if it's not on the menu staff will know what you are asking for 10/10

Meet there every two weeks with our biker family. Excellent service, such a warm welcome by all staff. Food is all locally sourced and absolutely delicious. Loaded wedges out of this world. Amongst a variety of temping meals off a regular changing menu. They go above and beyond to accommodate everyone’s needs. A credit to a community run up and coming venue. Great respect and thanks on behalf of ourselves and the extended biker family ❤️

The Cross Keys is a special place. Feels like a safe and welcoming community hub with such a wide range of events and offerings. I love how they source their food mindfully, ethically and locally and have lots of alternative and healthy options. Feels like a home from home. Such love food, atmosphere and staff.

been few times now for bike night , one of many events they have there for the wider community. very friendly welcoming staff , good selection of drinks .

Firstly how great it was to hear that this fantastic old pub was being reopened after so many years . From a personal perspective being a lifetime biker I'd heard many stories about many friends and folk get-together regularly as bikers back in the seventies primarily and into the eighties when I was old enough to start visiting. Club 76 had much history there and still talk to guys who were very much part of that era .. Fat Bob and his wife ran the place I trust and they are well know enough around these parts . Anyhow moving forward the fantastic guys who have sunk money and much time in bringing the keys back to life are all fantastic and doing A great job from all aspects .. We as bikers have been uniformly welcomed back and every two weeks have enjoyed some incredible nights with great numbers at the venue with excellent service and food and drinks Made some very good friends with the staff along the way and respect from both sides is absolutely spot on.. Loads of parking for all vehicles and a cracking seating area outside and in... They also have varied entertainment throughout the weeks and cover most interests with more and more ideas along the way .. Overall its support that keeps places like this going and it will continue especially from us bikers and trikers .. Long live the cross keys Cheers guys

Has amazing food. the staff are absolutely lovely and the service was nice and quick. There is also lots of events on and the bands that play there are great. Really recommend going

A beautiful pub, re-established back into the local community after a very long time. Business ethos and staff, absolutely refreshing. Baby changing facilities even in the male bathrooms...... finally!!!

Lovely atmosphere with lots of friendly faces and good food :)

So friendly staff are amazing…..set away from busy towns and is a perfect stop and well worth a visit if passing by

The food here is absolutely delicious, not fancy, really great quality ingredients and locally sourced, we went on a cold wet windy lunchtime yet the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming, like visiting an old friend. Highly recommend The Cross Keys and wish them lots of luck with their venture!

We organised a meet up for our running club tonight at the pub, they opened specifically for us, they were very accommodating and friendly, food served was tasty and the drinks were fab.

Had a great lunch here on the official opening day. Really good atmosphere! Great to have our local open again.

This pub is not what we thought it was they are not a new business trying to succeed they only open 20 odd hours a week and have lots of ppl camping in the grounds don't get me wrong they're nice ppl but have they're own interests at heart

This place has everything that I love to experience in a pub - great food and drink, staff who seem to take pride in what they do and who genuinely engage with you, and importantly, a community feel about the place that is warm and welcoming . The quality of the food was exceptional for the price and it was particularly pleasing to learn that the ingredients are sourced to minimise food miles and help the local community. Bravo!

Love love what the new owners are doing here! 5 star fresh food, service, friendliness, atmosphere & so eco friendly!! Go try it out - you won’t be disappointed 🤩🤩

Local pub to me and it’s absolutely what everyone in the area hoped it would be. Friendly vibe, community space and so comfortable to sit for an afternoon Bev or for the evening. The staff are super friendly and it feels like home away from home. So proud of the work that went into rebuilding this pub for the community and thankful for everybody who has worked hard to make it the pub we all hoped we’d have back again ❤️ food is delicious, healthy and great value and the drinks are all locally sourced. We’ll done everyone involved!

Its not be your usual pub grub and perhaps not what I have traditionally chosen. It must take hours to prepare and tastes fantastic. A real eye opener of what good food tastes like. Thank you Emily and team.

We had a lovely time when we visited the newly transformed Cross Keys. Everyone was extremely welcoming & the food was freshly made and delicious 😋. It is very family friendly so suits us perfectly. We will be back again!

It's nice that it's open again. It's definitely a different pub experience that's different from the typical gastropub / country pub vibe. It is certainly a valuable space for the locals. We had some nice food there and will be happy to visit again.

Community pubs like this are a rare and wonderful experience!

Great home cooked quality food, local drinks, and friendly welcome.

A brilliant community hub pub, with a different offering to the norm - fresh, healthy, locally produced and organic food served by genuinely happy people who really care about what they are doing! The drinks are also from local providers where possible (the cider is great!), served alongside ethical brands such as Karma Cola. The space is clean, homely and inviting and the atmosphere is chilled and relaxed; there is parking, a garden, cosy snug rooms and a meadow area with options for camping. During the non-pub hours the rooms are used for classes including yoga and ladies choir, so that the Cross Keys is more than a traditional pub. Many staff are volunteers as they believe in the vision, and there is great conversation. A model that could be rolled out all over the country!

We had a lovely time with our family for lunch and dinner, the new owners are extremely welcoming as are all the staff. The food is amazing, very freshly made & all locally sourced. The kids had a blast & we had a great time listening to local musicians. We will be back very soon. Thank you 🙏

Great community venture. We had a lovely lunch. Great for families, dogs and anyone passing through!

Just popped in on the way by for a drink. Found out that it has just reopened June 2023 afterseveralyears. Very nice place and people, warmly welcomed as passing visitors, with some special things other than a "normal" pub. Try it out for yourselves.
