My husband visits this lovely pub for the good beer and friendly atmosphere but always moans about the flooded loos. Now he’s getting on he will have to be more careful, but great pub!

Having been in the cross keys a few times over the festive period it has been a really enjoyable time with the friendly staff and fellow drinkers who enjoy a great pint the best by far for a Guinness and ale that my father in law and father both love in harpendenThe Christmas decorations were absolutely lovely with clearly a lot of care taken making the pub very festive however having returned yesterday and the decorations were taken down leaving all the faults of lack of maintenance clear to be seen … damp walls with large cracks and only one stool apart from uncomfortable benches to sit on, we asked to use a chair from the other bar but they were all worn and wobbled.. a real shame a real pub is being left to deteriorate in this way but no doubt it will be lost to a big chain who will save it.

Wonderful local pub, with an authentic welcoming atmosphere and fine beverages, at reasonable prices.

Has a great homely feel to it, a bit like sitting in someone's front room.

Great pub! A group of us came in over the Weekend as part of our Pub Golf. The landlady is so lovely!!! (I think her name was Trish). She made us feel so welcome and we would definitely come again :)

Spent a very pleasant Sunday afternoon quaffing a few pints of Side Pocket with friends in comfortable surroundings.Clientele were suitably amicable and the lady behind the bar was a joy to behold.Will most certainly visit again.???
Cosy pub with a hidden large beer garden - the pub should definitely have a sign outside letting people know of that hidden gem at the back.Could be a very cool setting with some string lights across the garden at night - maybe a wkd bbq etc.Another pint or 2 options on tap it would be class.Will definitely be back ?

Traditional village pub. Great atmosphere, I first came here about 50years ago and little has changed.
