What harry19975 doesn't like about Cross Keys:
We've been here quite a few times for lunch and have always enjoyed their wraps and panninis. Upon arriving yesterday for lunch we discover that they have changed their menu and no longer offer wraps or panninis. What they do offer now is now very expensive. £7.00 for a tiny starter and £16.95 for fish and chips makes a very expensive lunch. We won't be back anytime soon. View all feedback.

The restaurant has received mixed reviews from guests, with some disappointed in the changes made to the menu and the dated room decor. However, other guests have raved about the delicious food, pleasant staff, and great value for money. The menu offers gluten-free options and Sunday lunch at the Cross Keys is particularly popular. The dining area is spacious and well-spaced, ensuring a safe dining experience. Overall, the restaurant seems to excel in food quality and service, despite some minor issues with decor and sticky furniture. Guests are eager to return and highly recommend dining here.
