The Cross Keys Inn in South Somerset

The Cross Keys is an unpretentious roadside village pub; no frills and nothing fancy but what you get is very good. The interior decorations are somewhat eclectic - the bar wall is papered with monetary notes from all over, making that wall worth a lot of cash - whilst the other walls in the bar are plastered with hundreds of beer mats! Staff 'uniform' seems to be whatever was lying around when they got up, mainly jeans and tee shirts, but don't let any of that put you off coming here. Great selection of well kept beer, ciders galore (well this is deepest Somerset, what do you expect?) and a lot of 'different' gins are all on offer. Add on large portions of competitively priced food promptly served and you'll be glad that you pulled into here - the large car park is at the rear, accessed by the scruffy road down the side of the pub.

Excellent food, great service and great value for money. Clearly a place used by locals as well as tourists, which is a recommendation in itself. Highly recommend

This is the second time I’ve come here for a steak because I think, for the price, this is a great meal! I think the roasted garlic is delicious and the steak was cooked to perfection, although I found the cut of beef to be much better this time than it was about 6 weeks ago on my first visit. The atmosphere is always lovely and the staff are attentive and very friendly.

We have visited this pub several times for meals and always enjoyed it. However, after a 'not so good' experience on our last visit, we decided to give it another chance and went for Sunday lunch. Sadly, much of the food was mediocre and the roast beef was inedible as you couldn't even get a knife through it. When we told the waiter, we were offered a steak knife or replace ment. However, the second plate of beef was the exactly the same. Puddings, although nice, were expensive for the meagre portions and took 35mins to arrive. Although they did take the beef off the bill it didn't make up for the spoilt family get together and we won’t be visiting again.

Had a lovely day at a No Dig festival . Phoned the pub on site saves cooking and washing up. I had Turkey a la King pie with mash spuds and veg selection and rich gravy. Turkey a la king is white meat red peppers in creamy white sauce Plus point this was a proper pie not floating puff pastry Personal I would have preferred strong red pepper flavour. My other half had ham hock with fried eggs chip and rocket dressing. All food tasted great hot and well presented. Special mention to our serving guy I think his name is Usain Bolt as he broke records for speed of service. Give this place a go the food is good

Fabulous 5 star experience in country pub inconspicuous from the outside Welcoming helpful staff, wide range of locally brewed ciders, fresh locally sourced, superbly cooked, flavourful food Imaginative menu Excellent vegetarian options Very reasonable prices Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely go back

Me and my friend came in on Friday 23rd for lunch as we weren’t from around the area and we were travelling home and we found this pub. Very lovely vibe to it. The waiters are so helpful and friendly. At first we told the man we wasn’t sure if we was going to be eating. Wow I’m glad we did! The food was divine! The service time was super fast! And enjoyed every minute of being there, was still thinking about my fish and chips hours after leaving and on the drive back to where we live! Amazing place.. rarely do reviews but a place has to be a certain something for me to review it. Amazing !!

Very pleasant pub with nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and food was very good. My trout fishcakes were excellent and the fish and chips were huge. My elderly father can't eat large meals and they do smaller portion fish and chips which was great value. Good wine choice at sensible price. And dog friendly.

Booked here as we were on business and had an 8:30 meeting the following day. The evening meal was fine and the staff in the evening very helpful. The room was small but comfortable but the noise from the pub, including music prevented an early night. The main problem came at Breakfast. We knew there was no cooked option and breakfast did not start till 8am. We arrived at 7:55 due to having a short window. The member of staff rolled in at 8:05 only after we had asked the lady cleaning the pub if there were any staff serving breakfast. The staff member looked like they had just woken up and rolled out of bed, dressed in a scruffy T shirt and jeans. Nothing prepared, no cups. At 8:15 I was finally handed a cup of tea of which I had no time to drink it as I had a 15 min drive to my meeting. So no breakfast and appalling service and attitude of the staff member. Is it too much to except staff to be working before the published breakfast time to prepare for guests??? Very poor and would not recommend

Friendly, helpful staff and good pub food. Accept dogs in the bar. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent atmosphere. Good selection of beers.

Fantastic atmosphere, and excellent Sunday lunch. Great service and we could take the dog. Brilliant!

We went for a friends party which was well organised. Before hand we had an evening meal which was delicious. Our bedroom was spacious, clean and well designed. At first we were disappointed to see only a continental breakfast option but it was so good! Definitely the best we’ve ever had. We will definitely stay again!

Welcome was friendly, food fantastic and tasty, would definately return. Service quick and efficient, lovely friendly vibe.

Visited here again with a friend who lives locally. Nice meal of chicken liver parfaits, trout salad and ham egg and chips, lovely chips and lots of ham. Followed by steamed sponge pudding and custard which needed more custard really, and lemon drizzle with lemon sorbet, but ask for vanilla ice cream with it, which comes from Marchfields near Bath and is delicious. Acquaint old stopping place for horses and carts on a busy cross roads with friendly staff and lovely food. You can also camp there and no doubt get a lovely breakfast.

We stopped off for a quick "pit stop" lunch. We ordered a beef burger and a chicken burger. The beef burger was ok but the chicken burger was awful. The chicken breast was completely dry with the texture of leather. I nearly scored it as "poor" but I don't like being negative so on the plus side, the staff were friendly, parking is ample, the decor pretty. Maybe we just made the wrong menu choice?

Super Sunday lunch venue with plenty of choice. Great range of beer all in pleasant surroundings. Will return shortly to sample more of the menu.

We camped here over bank holiday weekend. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the site was very quiet and relaxing. There was no noise from the pub. Shower block was clean and facilities were good. We enjoyed a few local walks and had a meal one night in the pub. The food was was nice but the cheese board was def overpriced. We will def stay again.

Convenient to our pitch . Menu was small limited choice We had homemade pate served with toasted hot cross buns??? And a sort of Cumberland relish The dish was ok but would have been better with toast fingers. We ordered battered hake with chips peas and tartar sce. This looked like a frozen battered Brake brothers offering fried in old oil giving it a dark soggy appearance. I felt disappointed as was expecting something better. Never mind you live and learn

Lovely spacious room, very nicely decorated. Friendly helpful staff and great food and service at breakfast. I would definitely stay again

This is a super pub, deceiving in size. Large skittle alley and function room with good sized bar and restaurant areas. Large outdoor seating area along with guest rooms and campsite. Inside it’s a very comfy environment. The staff are great and service is pretty quick. Food wise it’s superb! Incredible steaks, battered fish and local produce ham, egg and chips plus gorgeous burgers and deserts! Can’t fault it in anyway. Will def return.

I had eaten here twice with my wife, and today they hosted a coach party of 43 seniors which had I organised on the strength of the good experience I had each time previously. [We were also visiting nearby Lytes Cary Manor.] The pub is attractive inside and out, it has comfortable bar and eating areas, including a very convenient large room where my party sat at a variety of 4 and 6 seat tables. The food was served efficiently, was well presented, tasty, and in sufficient quantity for us to wonder if we really did need a dessert. However, the 'pub grub' desserts were also tasty and generous. I hope we will be able to use this venue again if we have a reason to be in the area.

I can't fault them at all. I owe them a huge thank you for putting me up. I'll be letting biker friends know about this place for a ride out. I'll be back in the future. Thank you very much, complete legends! M. Toone

Tried here this evening for a meal and were not disappointed.Food and service very good.We were recommended this pub by a local from Babcary as we were told our local pub the Red Lion has been ruined as they now cater for passing trade from Lobdon to Devon and have hacked up the prices to capture this market.If staying in Babcary again we wouldn't hesitate in going to Crosskeys as this would be our local.

We visited for weekend in June. Nice and quiet site behind the pub. Lovely level field partitioned off for caravans/motorhomes and tents. Toilets and showers are a bit ‘diy’ basic but were clean and fit for purpose. A bit of Female TLC is maybe all that’s needed to improve. The pub is a 2 min walk across the car park and has a main dining room, bar, function room and beer garden. It is advisable to book in advance. The menu is varied and the food is excellent! There are a number of real ales and ciders available and a selection of gins, whiskeys, wine etc. We also saw jugs of cider and ale being sold. We arrived on the evening England was playing in the euros and the place was very busy. The girls were so polite, attentive and hard working and made our evening very pleasant. Due to the weather we returned the next evening for dinner and unfortunately did not receive the same pleasant experience. The female staff working the previous evening were off and the male barman was visibly struggling to multitask and was quite rude to my husband. After having a drink in the bar we were later asked whilst having our meal if we had paid for our drinks? We were made to feel quite uncomfortable. The food was excellent but again after paying for our meal were again questioned if we had paid. There seems to be a lack of communication between the staff that leads to paying customers being treated like criminals. Very disappointing as it’s such a lovely bar/restaurant and campsite. It appears the business has expanded but the manager and his male barman have not yet adapted to their new clientele. An error that I have no doubt will cost them significantly as people will not return.

Fabulous roast today brilliant staff even though it was really busy they looked after us ,would recommend this pub ever time

We spent a very reasonable night at the Cross Keys Inn in a nice comfortable room. The dinner was very good indeed with some excellent cooking. Breakfast was continental which was a bit disappointing but overall this is a great pub with lovely staff and good service

Had a delicious Sunday roast today, beautifully cooked and deserts also delicious. Staff excellent and felt very Covid safe. Lovely decor full of quirky images and quotes. Felt super cosy too on a cold blustery day!

Dropped in this evening for an impromptu drink and there was such a nice atmosphere we decided to stay for something to eat too. Well what an unexpected treat, we ordered a chicken curry and a tofu burger - wow, both were amazing, and as someone who’s had to move to WFPB diet it was good to see a couple of options on the menu that I could eat, but the fact that my choice was off the scale taste wise was a wonderful surprise and my husband was really complimentary about the curry. He travels extensively worldwide for work and eats out often, he’s not given to express positive comments very often so it must have been good! Would really recommend this place, service was excellent too, a rare treat to have both.

This pub has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and the food is top notch. the pub was round the corner from where we was staying so we thought we would check it out. I highly recommend the sirloin steak. It was soo good in fact, that we returned for seconds a few days later.

We were visiting the Fleet Airarm Museum at Yeovilton , we had booked well in advance , minor glitch with the computer system but we arrived in room 4 small but perfectly adequate spotlessly clean.It's a real cider pub with lots of locals supporting it and a campsite adjacent.Parking no problem and the staff at all levels were very good .Dinner in the evening we had the specials which were \greek dishes again very good The continental b/fast was very interesting.Nice to stay in a proper pub with no frills

Camped here for a long weekend from the 4th of September, Couldn’t get a pitch the bank holiday weekend before. I’m not surprised, because it’s probably one of the nicest places we’ve stayed at. Nice quiet campsite with no uncontrollable screaming brats running riot. The camp manager Andy is a top guy who can’t do enough for you and is always checking to see if you’re ok. The ground is great too, I didn’t hit a single stone when I was driving the pegs in. Showers are clean and spacious. There are only two showers for the male and two for the female, but it is a small campsite. Plenty of other toilets too.I would strongly recommend getting your shopping before you arrived. There’s no convenient store nearby and a supermarket is a 15/20 minute drive.If you’re not planning on cooking, the cross keys pub is a staggering stones throw away, furnished with nice real ales and local cider, Shipyard is £4.30 Estrella is £4.90. Nice bar and very pleasant waiting staff, certainly no eye rolling here. Sorsha was great, very busy person, helpful and nothing was too much trouble.We had dinner here every night, because the food and service is that good. Had a lovely Sunday roast and at £11.50 was very generous, couldn’t eat it all. I had the beautifully cooked thick sliced roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and my wife had the Roast Chicken with homemade bread sauce. I would recommend either. Vegetables were nicely cooked, not cooked to a mush or pulp like some places. On our final night we opted for the ploughman’s which was amazing (Boxing day on a plate) loved the sausage roll, ham and their home smoked cheese, it was lovely and tasty. Couldn’t believe my ears when I heard a guy opposite moaning to the waitress about the sausage roll being cold, “It’s a ploughman’s mate”, but there’s always one!The tomato and courgette soup is amazing here too, they should bottle and sell it, it’s that good. I would also recommend their burgers and delicious sirloin steak, both very nice. Cheese and biscuits, cheesecake or the chocolate brownie, it’s hard to choose which? All are delicious.If you’re planning on staying here, I would recommend booking your tables well in advance as it gets very busy. I over-heard a gentleman who was staying for the weekend say that he could only get one table for 6pm.Book your pitch early too!

Food was really good especially the tomato and courgette soup. Staff were lovely. Free parking at the back.

Very good site friendly staff set up well for Corvid if all followed the rules good food & cider clean site my one criticism is not being able to eat in the gard6

The award of 4 is for Restaurant and Campsite as cannot award separately.PUB AND RESTAURANT - I would happily award a 5. Staff brilliant.Food excellent.Facilities clean. 5 STARS xxxxxWould visit againCAMP SITE I award 3. Welcome friendly. Site Nice. Toilet Block was in need of full modernisation and a GOOD CLEAN, floor always wet and overall dirty. Unfortunately had noisy neighbours who argued most of the night. (NOT THE CAMPSITES FAULT) 3 STARS xxxWould not visit the campsite again unless toilets and showers were improved and cleaned.

Had an absolutely fabulous meal when staying in East Lydford for a couple of days. I had the chicken, mushroom and blue cheese pie with chips and seasonal veg - and discovered the tastiest pie I've ever eaten! Service was fabulous and 'The Snug' where we ate was cosy, warm and welcoming. Had a couple of pints of the locally brewed beer - also excellent. Would return for another meal here in a heartbeat. Fabulous 'local' with a lovely atmosphere. Thanks so much for welcoming us.

Food excellent - service friendly and prompt. Very busy Friday evening and although it was quite noisy sitting to a table of 12 celebrating, this didn't detract from our enjoyment. Lovely open fire to sit by with coffee to end the evening.

So we booked with our friends for a Wednesday night curry and comedians night. We arrived around 6.30 with kick off at 8pm we'd not done it before so decide to get there early. Excellent beer and Cider on tap made the wait really enjoyable. The pub was well attended as was the event especially for a midweek! Of course the comedians did vary and a couple were not very good and the amount of curry did vary as we were one of the last portions were on the small size guess the chef over egged the earlier portions! But all in all it was a great evening certainly the last comedian was great. We all left agreeing we'd do it again but maybe get in the queue for the curry earlier!!

We attended our local Shoot dinner here last night and I just had to write and say how utterly delicious the food here was! I had a smoked salmon starter (yummy) and the person next to me had a blue cheese souffle which he said was delicious! Then we all had fish in a safrrony sauce with mussels which, again, was utterly sublime, moist, fell apart and filled with flavour and very skilfull! The puddings were equally great - I had chocolate bread and butter pudding with icecream. Everyone there was raving about the high standard and the waiting staff were friendly, attentive and looked after us with a cheerful and professional manner. I could not give better marks to this establishment. The girls behind the bar were equally bubbly and the whole atmosphere was of a really popular, buzzing country pub/restaurant. Thank you all especially TIM the Chef!

This was a spontaneous visit on Valentine’s Day and were not disappointed. Wonderful food and rustic ambience. Highly recommend pie of the day and Cross Keys burger. Can’t believe we had never been before but by all accounts current landlord has invested a lot of effort and it shows. Would definitely recommend and return again

Had lunch at the CrossKeys not much on the menu ended up with the lasagna was okay but rather expensive and the dessert menu was not any better £1.50 for a scoop of ice cream ! Was nice and quiet only me and my friend in the whole restaurant ! Landlady was a bit abrupt ! scary even will probably not go again .

Stayed this last weekend in our motorhome to meet up with family in their campervan and go to the Glastonbury Carnival. What a great pub. Big fire. Og friendly. You'll love the staff. Food is exceptional. Good recommendation for taxi to get us to Glastonbury. Only downside was the lack of heating at this time of year in the caravan site toilet block! Good base for a weekend away. Definitely be back.

I stayed at The Cross Keys Inn for 2 nights, the food here is excellent, lovely evening meal and a great breakfast! The evening in the bar was made better by the 1st class bar staff, so friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend staying here.

Wir haben auf dem Weg nach Cornwall hier in gute Atmosphäre gespeißt, getrunken und genächtigt. Hervorzuheben ist die sehr gute Küche (definitiv KEIN Pub-Standard). Betrieben von einer aufrecht freundlichen Crew. Wir konnten uns durch eine großzügige Degustation der sehr großen Bierauswahl “nähern“. Morgens genoss ich endlich mal ein schmackhaftes britisches Frühstück, dass nicht im Fett ertrank. Das Doppelzimmer mit Dusche war klein aber sauber und funktional. Parkplatz direkt am Haus. Wer also authentisch Britisch auf dem Lande übernachten möchte ist hier mit einem hervorragenden Preis/Leistungsverhältnis bestens untergebracht.

We really love the atmosphere, the food, and the staff and owners of the Cross Keys. Always a brilliant friendly resception, and the food is fabulous home cooked fayre. The roast dinners are as near you can get to your own!. Had roast peaches with honey yoghurt today after my roast beef, it was a delightful tasty light sweet.

Taken here by colleagues when working away from home. We all had lovely, lovely food - both starters and mains. Everyone said how much they enjoyed their food. The puddings looked fabulous. Nice feel to the place and busy which is good to see. Only down side, and the reason for the rating I have given, was the smell of cigarette smoke that pervaded the whole place, including where we were eating. This really put me off and I’m afraid ruined my meal. I couldn’t work out where it was coming from but there were smokers outside when we left and it appeared that somehow the smell was being drawn in to the interior unrelentingly.

Stopped over en route to the bath and west showground, phoned last minute and was given a pitch with ehu for £20 which I thought was reasonable. Staff very friendly and a good choice of real ale to be tried, can't comment on food as we didn't eat here. Toilet block clean and power showers are brilliant. If I am ever passing that way again I will definitely stop if the have room, highly recommend for one or two nights.

We showed up on a Friday night without reservations. The staff was very pleasant and promised us a table "soon," which worked out to be five minutes on a busy night. The staff, Sally in particular, were very friendly and courteous.

Let's start with the best bits: the food looked good and tasted good, the service (Katy and Zoe) was polite, efficient and thoughtful, and the house ale went down well. The only disappointment was the mystery of how the snug bar part of the restaurant could smell as if someone was smoking nearby when no-one was. Wind in the wrong direction, perhaps?

Camping weekend away. The site is a nice size. The Cross keys gave us a lovely welcome when we arrived. Said we could pitch anywhere. The pub/restaraunt has a lovely decor with a wonderful garden to sit in. The staff again throughout our stay have been really friendly. Food was epic! All locally sourced and fresh which you could defintely tell. Not advertised but there is a spar petrol station literally around the corner which is great for essentials and non essentials. Had everything. We could pick up snacks and milk. Nice area to be in. Loads of stuff a small drive away. We stay on alot of sites and we truly enjoyed the stay and food. Def be back in the future. Highly recommended.

We were staying just up the road, so decided to visit the cross keys as it was walking distance, we were not disappointed, the food was excellent, great service and atmosphere. It was very busy but food was served very quickly, worth a visit if you are in the area. Lovely garden to sit out in if it is a nice sunny day.

Unfortunately the last three times we have been to the Cross Keys the food/service has not been as good. Its such a shame because the pub has a great atmosphere and was one of our favourite places to eat with family and friends. We have had poor meals on the last three visits and I think we will now thing twice about returning. We wanted to give it a chance as we like the pub so much but on the last visit we ordered the haddock and chips, unfortunately the chips were appalling, I can only liken them to a sponge, so greasy. The fish again was extremely greasy. On previous visits to this the service was very slow, we had to wait almost an hour for our food, the waitress had got the order wrong when it did arrive and again the food was poor and just not to the same standard as it used to be in this pub, I'm not sure what has happened recently but its just not up to scratch anymore. A real shame.

Well, first walked in to this pub. Was a lovely atmosphere and very friendly young girl servers us. We were eating here for my mums birthday meal. Once we got our drinks and had sat at our table we were shown the menu, had a good amount of time to decide what we wanted. We totally understand that they were extremely short staffed but we had never experienced anything like it. It was a very long wait for our main meal to come out. Once we had got it it was actually lovely. Then to have sat there for at LEAST 15 minutes before the woman took our plates, yet she walked past our table several of times where she could have taken at least one plate at a time. We were sat by the kitchen but it’s like we weren’t there, she didn’t even acknowledge us. Once she had finally collected the plates she asked us if we wanted desserts and because it was my mums birthday we would have loved a dessert. She kept walking past our table again but yet couldn’t even drop off the menu!! We were waiting for nearly an hour just to see a dessert menu. In the end we were all so tired and fed up and quite frankly couldn’t believe the service. We decided to leave the desserts and go. As we got up and we’re getting our things the women then came over and asked us if it’s too late for desserts... we couldn’t believe it. But we refused them as we didn’t want to wait any longer as it took them at least half an hour to do desserts on the table behind us! But what made us laugh was she was so quick to give us the bill!!!

When you book a room in a pub at 11pm via an OTA from a field at the Glastonbury Festival, it's wise to manage your expectations.

Popped in on the off chance after a day out. Was very grateful when the gentleman said he could fit us in. Sorry to say the food was horrible. The yorkies were like leather couldn't cut them, roasties tasted as if left under a heat lamp, beef very tough, veg was hard. not the same veg on everyone plate, Turkey and gammon was ok, have to say very expensive for what you got.

Busy ,noisy pub suitable for families. Big portions with plenty of chips on the menu. Food was good and good variety of ciders and beers.

Sunday carvery very poor, very limited choice of vegetables, what choice available not very good. Both meats that were available were barely cooked (raw). More meats were brought by the chef following feedback to the waitress to be fair but was much the same. Overall meal experience poor, not to our liking.

First time eating here. Friendly staff.

16 of us met here for a family birthday meal and we can not fault it. We pre booked our food a couple of days beforehand and all of the food came out together shortly after we had all sat down. The food was great, not one complaint..my husband wants to go back soon for fish and chips again!

Excellent food with the family and very filling. Very well presented and the staff were so kind. Would strongly recommend this pub to anyone

Enjoyed a superb evening meal with the family on Saturday night the service was excellent pity about the noisy party goers on the nearby tables but this must be expected pre Xmas I suppose! Next tlme we visit from Northumberland will be happy to eat there again! Francis S.

Came here with friends for a "Themed Night". Waitress was friendly and efficient, food was alright but not much more, service was alright and the overall atmosphere could be improved with a bit of thought.

Decided to pop in for a birthday lunch, didn't book but not very busy. One young barman who's priority clearly wasn't to serve at the bar. After buying drinks and asking to order food, got pushed to one side in favour of this who had booked for lunch. When I suggested that I was first in line the barman told not to be rude, several times! Left a full pint, definitely won't be going back!

If I could rate the cross keys inn higher I would!

We have just got home from eating the best Sunday carvery for miles around without exception. The meats are perfectly cooked, choice of pork, lamb and beef. Lovely cheesy cauliflower cheese, and a good selection of vegetables. Yorkshire pudding home made and fab!! To top it off the gravy is perfect. So difficult to find a Sunday roast that is even close to a homemade one, but this is!!

Had four excellent evening meals to top off an excellent day, the portions were huge, and even though the pub was very busy the lady who looked after us was super efficient

Nicely planned out for campers and motorhomes. Great stopover for a night and staff in pub were great and accommodating

Stayed here in July when visiting Glastonbury and Wells and found a very friendly, happy atmosphere with excellent staff, good food and a very comfortable room. Would definitely stay again.

Wanted an escape for the weekend and having left it late booking anywhere ended up here. Access is controlled by key that you collect from the bar on arrival, site was around 20% occupied so was really quiet. There is a well stocked petrol station around the corner and the pub does lunch and dinner menu. Facilities in site were basic but clean. The beer garden was nice with very good planting and hanging baskets of flowers. You can see extensions have been made to the restaurant, it looks like it has ended short of its potential. The bar is ok, and whilst there was an open fire, I imagine it will burn in the autumn/ winter. A fair selection of beers and ciders but at Bath prices rather than a very average country pub price. The funny thing with a bar that tries to attract campers was the feel that the local drinkers appeared to try to stamp their ownership on the place; Anyway, they seemed harmless enough. Lunch menu wasn’t that great, never ate dinner there. Tried to go for a walk but footpaths are rare, with one we found by a river merely going to a field. Would recommend they replace the dining chairs which look budget type and the very tired settees.

We went to see a music act.Sadly they were fully booked for food but what we saw served looked great. Great place for an evening - brilliant range of ales and ciders, free live music and a friendly,buzzing atmosphere. We'll definitely be back with a booked table to eat next time.

Visited as a family of 6, baby, toddler and a dog!

just left this campsite and its a little gem..adults only campsite right behind a public which will say you get no noise from and is a lovely public with friendly staff...the campsite is a good size with good electric points and very peaceful...the toilet block has 2 showers and 1 toilet plus a urinal and the ladies 2 showers and 2 toilets ..the water is hot all the time and free with a good pressure but will say the tiled floor oitside the shower does get under water and bit dirty because people wear their flip flops on the wooden pallet you stand on to dry..little pick that all that it but overall this is a must stay if you want a quiet time but can walk 20yds for a public atmosphere as well.

Nach einem lange Reisetag wurden wir hier herzlich willkommen, schönes, sauberes Zimmer, gutes Essen und schöne Getränkeauswahl. Trotz live-Musik konnten wir gut schlafen. Das Frühstück war einfach eine Wucht.

First in the queue for lunch There were 4 of us.we had 3 good meals but the 4th meal arrived when the rest had nearly finished ,the 4th meal was served on a board ,the board was split in 2 places and looked very unhygienic ,we were given a discount ,but that did not make up for a spoilt meet with family

Stopped over at this pub for a single night in their campsite out back. Friendly staff. Excellent service. Everything I could ask for in a pub stop. Good beer & cider, good food, good facilities. This will definitely be one of my new stop overs in Somerset.

We've been dining outside and that is a very nice place. Nevertheless, a lots of things were missing on the restaurant card but what we ate was good. The boss and the waitress were very friendly.

Being local I often pop into this pub for a lovely pint of beyond the pale however today I experienced what it’s like actually not to be a local totally ignored at the bar with locals coming in being served left without a drink 😩

We were placed in a small room of the pub with another 4 at a table, which meant it was lacking in atmosphere. The room was dark which made reading the menu quite difficult. The service was excellent - the offering of food a little basic and limited but it was well cooked, very tasty and well presented with plenty on the plate. Would choose a different area to eat next time unless in a party.

Great traditional pub. Food ok however, lots of traditional beers & ciders to choose from. The staff work very hard but, keep up the smiles. Recommend this pub

A group of us visited on Saturday as part of my sisters hen do. There were 16 of us plus babies and they were so accommodating- we had use of the function room which opened out onto the beer garden/courtyard so on a lovely hot day it didn’t feel like we were cooped inside. We had to pre-order our meals which actually made it easier on the day. The food came out really quickly and the service was good! Generous portions, good value for money. I only wish we could have stayed longer to sample some more of the wide beer selection. Thank you for having us!

Great pub, good food and excellent choices of beers and ciders. Rooms were lovely and clean and comfortable if a bit small but we were only staying one night. All staff were very helpful and friendly.

Two excellent visits to this fun pub and two great meals. The sizzling plates are especially good - something a little different. Generous quantities and everything fresh and delicious. A great beer selection too.

We ate here as we were camping in the campsite behind the pub (see other review!), we enjoyed this food so much it's getting its own well deserved review, it was that good! Great menu offering all manner of local produce. I opted for 8oz burger in homemade bun with deep fried shallots, celeriac and chips, my other half had steak, chips and salad. The pannacotta comes highly recommended and the local cheeses on the generous cheeseboard were delicious. Compliments to the chef, this was the best meal we've had in a very long time. Table service by polite professional unobtrusive staff added to the truly friendly and chilled-out atmosphere here. The little box of trivial pursuit cards on the table to keep you amused while waiting for your meal is a nice touch! Add to this a huge selection of cider and some cracking ales and there you have The Cross Keys Inn! We waddled back off through the campsite like stuffed pigs, full of yummy grub - we shall return!

Visited whilst on a midweek break with my wife. Ordered drinks from the ample choice and grabbed a table. We were soon greeted with menus and both ordered pie; one game and one venison. The pies were a good size with plenty of chips. Then a massive portion of veg appeared as well. It was a good selection of cauliflower cheese, red cabbage and carrots. It would have been impossible to fit more meat in either pie. The venison was so tender and tasty. Good pastry as well. I don't remember having a better pie than this and I've eaten some pies!

I went there as a single traveller and felt at ease. The food was served quickly and was Good quality.
