Disappointing Christmas Eve LunchWe booked the Christmas Lunch set meal for Christmas Eve (we decided to treat ourselves this year, as this isn't something we normally do at Christmas, as it's expensive.) On arrival at the pub, there were no staff around, so we thought we'd just sit at the table which had been set with cutlery. I noticed that there were hardly any decorations up and so it didn't feel 'Special' or indeed 'Christmassy'. such a shame. We visited at Halloween time and that was better. Whoever laid the table, had done it so that you were facing the wall and not the fireplace – a bit strange I thought! So we changed that ourselves. The table also hadn't been cleaned properly from the previous customer, which was not nice. The service wasn't great for the money they charge. Not made to feel very welcome or special. When each course was brought to the table, there was no mention as to what the starters were. It wasn't obvious from looking at it. However, the food was lovely, but the service and the overall lack of Christmassy ambience, left us feeling underwhelmed. Unfortunately, we won't be booking for Christmas next year.

We had a great Boxing Day lunch here, good food and service and a great pub atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: The Cross Keys had a good children’s menu and the portions were large.

Good ciders and local ales. Friendly staff.Outside space for kids to run about... it's a shame that came at the expense of the real grass but it's good in most weathers now and there is a covered area with heaters.Pub quiz at 8pm every Sunday seems to have disappeared for now. Longing to have it back!Update: tonight was a joy. Packed bar, fire in the corner, friends, laughs and 10.45 last orders.2022 update. The garden is a joy. On a balmy summers evening with the local cricket team retiring for last orders. The marquee seems to be a permanent feature now so, with the sides off, there's plenty of shade in a heat wave.

Excellent local pub. Friendly, great Sunday roast. Family run. Good garden for children and undercover area for grownups.

Excellent food in a charming little pub, well-kept beer on the pump.

Great food and drink and kids love the outdoor playground!
Great food, friendly staff. Pub was busy, great atmosphere. Food only took as long as it takes to cook it!! No complaints, happy to recommend.
Amazing, food yummy and the guy who served us with tattoos on his arm was very nice with a good sense of humour. Will deffo visit again.
I was dragged to a weird Irish bday party for a random old man here so I don't rlly have an opinion on this place. Chips were nice tho xx
Not worth it, the lemonade ordered had a tap water taste and food was not good.
