  • Great for brunch
  • Child-friendly
  • Great for outdoor dining
Our family friendly restaurant takes bookings of any size, choosing from our seasonal main menu or daily specials. The restaurant is contemporary but comfortable, and flexible enough to deal with bookings for any occasion. It also extends outdoors where we have recently installed a fully heated pergola. The garden is extremely popular during the summer months, especially as it is situated on the side of the High Street that gets the best of the evening sun however The Keys does not take bookings for this area. For afternoon tea bookings please contact the restaurant directly.

    Disappointing this time. The food was quite poor. Usually book for afternoon tea which is always lovely. Decided to try the lunch menu which I doubt we will do again. The table ordered 4 Parmesans. One arrived late and the others varied greatly. Mine had clearly been under the grill and the cheese was almost burnt. The bechamel sauce was no existent. The service was also poor and we waited some time for drinks order, despite the fact we could see the drinks waiting on the end of the bar. Cocktails were ordered which tasted nice however the some of the glasses were only half full. All in all we may dine elsewhere in the future. The keys will lose out on our large booking!

    Not a fair time to judge as kitchens were being re-furbished. However, service was fine and food adequate albeit with a restricted menu. Good evening overall.

    As a regular sewing group we like to try different restaurants for Christmas and a mid year lunch outing. One member had recently tried The Keys and recommended it so we booked up. Booking online was quick and easy, a pleasant girl took our food order over the phone, and there was an e.mail to confirm our booking the day before. On arrival the staff were friendly, the food was hot and delicious, and we would recommend The Keys to anyone.

    No one to greet us upon arrival; Had to queue at a busy bar in order to get seated at our table. There was no order as to who was served; Once we were seated, we were told that all but one of the menu items had sold out; Once we placed our order, we we later told that our options for the starter had sold out; The waitress wasn't interested in keeping our drinks refreshed; The milk served to my wife was off, and curdled when poured into the hot tea; My wife was served a ceasar salad which didn't contain any croutons or anchovies. This had to be thrown away and remade; My roast pork was served with cold Yorkshire puddings; I had to remind the waitress to bring the vegetables that should have accompanied my lunch; No apology or acknowledgement of the poor service when we left;
