Six of us for a meal Saturday night. Very good food.I thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Tikka, which was very tasty and well cooked. Very good steak with an unusually thick peppercorn sauce that was excellent.Very good real ale too.Excellent stuff!Many thanks.

Had a fantastic meal here last night with the Vegan Taster menu evening. Really interesting, varied and scrumptious menu designed by Battie and Hoo- with no obvious tofu in sight! Fascinating and encouraging to see such a variety of plant-based dishes on the same menu. Lovely, friendly staff and very pleasant setting. We do hope they will offer events like this again!

Called in earlier in the week to book a table, kids mentioned what they would like to eat on our return. When we arrive for dinner, staff remembered us. Our table was great. Starter choice was tasty. Staff also knew/remembered kids menu choice - we ordered food from the grill. Ribs and Chicken meal was great and cooked to perfection. We had steak - well presented and was absolutely delicious. Big portions. Great atmosphere with attentive staff. Would recommend.

We were looking for somewhere new for a Sunday lunch and came across the Cross Keys at Dilham. To be honest the car park is a bit of a state but don’t let that put you off, open the door to the pub and everything is warm and welcoming. The Christmas decorations were beautifully done, the log burner gave out a warmth that was only matched by the welcome we received. We both ordered the roast beef which was perfectly cooked and accompanied by well prepared and perfectly seasoned vegetables. As someone who always seems to end up asking for more gravy, it was great that roast was served with a jug of the most tasty beef gravy ? The desserts we ordered were equally tasty and generous in their portion size. Whilst I won’t put the price in this review (as it may change at some point in the future) what I will say is it was exceptionally good value. I recommend this pub without hesitation, it’s a great place to go 10/10

Nice space, nice staff. My only thought would be to do like a KFC spicy burger, a really good beef burger using toppings from the menu. Maybe a specials

Went on a Friday late afternoon, service was OK but no ice for our drinks and lacked any atmosphere.
4 of us had Sunday lunch here, and enjoyed it. There is a good variety of choices on the menu, and the service is very good.I had roast beef with all the usual trimmings, including a great range of veg, and my wife had roast turkey. Both provided a hearty meal, leaving just enough room for a sticky toffee pudding, or an apple pie and custard.Dietary restrictions: They were careful to ask the vegetarians in our party about their specific needs, and clearly were very aware of the need for care in respect of food choices for some people. I was impressed.

Excellent meal. We'll prepared and presented. Friendly efficient staff. Good value for money. Good choice of starters and main course. Staff were willing to listen to suggestions on how things could be improved for diners with limited/ partial sight.

Sunday lunch just like mum used to make. The starters were gorgeous, the mains were perfect, beautiful roast pork and roast turkey, and a superb nut roast served with lovely veg, great crackling on the pork and real pepper gravy !! Desserts perfect and portion size good but not stupidly huge just to show off. Prices, well I don’t know how they can produce three stunning course for under £19 and still make a profit, I would have happily paid much more. Service was friendly and efficient,and when we discussed one of our party8s eyesight issues and the possible use of red crockery to help him see his food they were very amenable to suggestions for future service. We will most certainly be back.

Lovely old pub. Excellent Sunday roast. Nothing more you could ask for and great value. Beautiful arch covered in fairy lights welcomes you before you enter. Staff were so friendly. Nothing was too much for them. We had been to Bewilderwood and it was a warm welcome after being outdoors all day. We will look forward to returning very soon and highly recommend. Thank you.

Booking advised as the chef doesn't take kindly to punters walking in on the off chance of getting a meal. That said, the waitress was perfectly charming and the food was adequate.
