Great find! Lovely pub with fantastic food and a great garden. The food was incredible, service was lovely and the prices were really good! For the price I'd say the food is excellent - plenty of choice (even for picky eaters) and all of it tasted incredible. We waited about half an hour but it was well worth it. Drinks are also reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend as a spot for those staying nearby (especially at the Salomon Estate as there's no evening dining there) - super easy to get to.

Food was lovely! Although I found it quite expensive for what you get, especially the party buffet,there just wasn't quite enough for how many we paid for.

Booked a family meal in advance. Food arrived 2hours late. Veg over cooked, potato’s uncooked aunt Bessie’s. Some of us got a Yorkshire others didn’t. Some got broccoli some didn’t. V poor quality and poor value for money.

The cross keys is wonderful, the staff make you feel like you're part of the family and the food is spot on for good honest home made cooking, I always visit with friends here in my trips to Tunbridge Wells and you have to try the Sunday Roasts, they have the best today potatoes I've ever eaten! The beer garden is huge and they have loads of fun events on through the summer and live entertainment all year round. Thank you for making such a great venue, we love it there!

Had lunch there today with a friend and it was dreadful. Chose the fish and chips which should have been served with tartar sauce but they had run out. The fish tasted as if it had been warmed up and the chips were hard. The crumble to follow was so hard, I couldn’t get the spoon through it so had to turn it over and scrape the minute amount of fruit off it. The waitress was nice and knocked some me money off but we won’t be going there again.

Really good classic pub Sunday roast. Tunbridge Wells is getting expensive and Cross Keys do the below plate for £9.99 it’s the small plate (which is still massive and comes with veg to share). Recommend 100%

Nice local neighbourhood/family style pub serving a hearty traditional pub menu including delicious pie & mash (with liquor) nights at a very reasonable price... Overall atmosphere is relaxed, quiet, and welcoming with plenty of comfy seating (there's also a large outside area)... Staff are lovely and attentive, and service was fast and efficient...

Friend and I had 'OAP' lunch about £10 each. Choice of three items on the menu for each course if I remember correctly. We had broccoli & stilton cheese soup, breaded mushrooms & salad starters, fish & chips & peas with Tartare sauce & slice lemon for main course. Ran out of time for subsequent appointment so missed the apple crumble & custard for pudding unfortunately. Breaded mushrooms good, generous size bowl of delicious piping hot soup with warmed baguette & butter, lovely fish & chips (chunky chips, fluffy inside) and our order was served very quickly. Barmaid was welcoming and very pleasant to talk to and the place is dog friendly. Marvellous for a lovely, inexpensive lunch!

We went for a Wednesday evening meal and was not disappointed. Best pie and mash I have ever had, and I say that as an ex East Ender. The rest of our part were extremely happy with their chicken burgers and declared the fudge brownie amazing. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and 5stars is deserved as much for this as the food.

Friendly welcome, large garden with the possibility to eat there. The food, including fish and chips, was very tasty and beautifully presented. You can hang from the bar, take a seat at a table inside or in the veranda. It is wonderful to relax outside on the picnic benches. Various bearings on tap available. Recommended!

My husband Sean and I chose to have our wedding reception at the cross key's as it's a stones throw from our house. Julie and the team were absolutely brilliant. They made sure our day was stress free and relaxed. They even put the decorations up for us. Which saved us loads of hassle. Fantastic day and fantastic staff and venue.

Attended a 75th birthday a year ago and had given the cross keys 4 stars. Last Sunday went for Sunday lunch with the then birthday girl and friend. Their roast pork was nearly inedible, the vegetables were crunchy. But worst is to come, didn't provide an itemised bill just a total. They had overcharged us by £11 so be warned check your bill carefully. Google images for roast pork there are plenty of pictures what it should like.

So terribly disappointed. Waited 45 minutes for starters then when the mains came felt totally let down, asked if the beef was pink and was told it was I had a job to eat it! Was overcooked and chewy!! A bottle of bog standard wine was £18 certainly not worth that amount! The saving grace was the owners daughter who was great. But won't make me return!!

It's good to see the new owners have injected some new life back into this pub! Our family went there to meet friends and have food, all the kids had things to do as there are decent climbing frames and slides for them while we could sit down and eat some food. There is a nice new menu with good quality food. The staff are friendly and the inside of the pub has a lot more feel in it which it had lost greatly years before. 5 stars what a nice change!

The food is excellent and the service efficient. The decor is awful though and no atmosphere whatsoever. Was empty by 9pm Saturday night. The toilets are awful. Haven’t been updated in two decades. Mouldy, cold, peeling paint. This place would do so much better with a face lift

Even though I used to like Basil for their coffee and pancakes, I would never go back again because the owner is incredibly rude and openly made fun of my accent. The manager at the St John’s Road location had never made me feel welcome either. The prices are also ridiculous.
