Lovely food in a really relaxed atmosphere. Good value for money

Such a beautiful little gem. It has such a magical Christmas vibe in the shop with lots of Christmas decorations, jewellery, candles, clothes and handbags to purchase, through to the amazing food. We arrived early for our table but the lovely staff member found us another table so we didn’t have to wait around. I ordered the pie and chips with veg and, wow is all I can say. I would say that you need time to rest afterwards as the portion sizes are huge. Very good value for money. Can’t wait to go back. If you haven’t been there before, you must visit.

Festive roast beef for two was excellent. Christmas pudding with sauce was very good. The trifle would have been better avoided. The topping was cream with pink sprinkles better suited to a children’s menu. The cream had a synthetic taste. The next layer was a rubbery red jelly. The base was a large amount of very dry sponge cake. I suspect it hadn’t seen a teaspoonful of sherry let alone the large quantity the menu suggested it would have. I declined to pay for this dessert. We would however return to the Cross Keys for another main course.

First time in the area and everyone was fantastic. The portions were really good as well.
