The Cross Keys - London

Dire. Bartender had no clue, handed me a sticky plasticised menu and showed no further interest. And then couldn’t be bothered to speak a word although the pub was empty (3pm). Thai food was worse than your average takeaway. Owner showed no interest in anything but his upcoming pub quiz. Stay away

When I first visited Cross Keys I thought “Proper pub, really nice” . Having now been several times, once with a large group , more often in smaller groups or alone, I just love it . It’s a proper pub where the bar and garden are for drinkers who may want to eat , not the other way round. The atmosphere is friendly. TheLondonPride is as good as any I have had-lovingly kept and poured in Guiness style 2 phase operation. They have decent food . They do sport viewing really well . The manager and staff are decent people . Comedy nights , ukulele nights I keep saying I should go… It’s so rare and wonderful to find a pub like this . Long may they thrive

Come to this pub when in the area, it's very relaxed, unpretentious with a good home cooked food menu that's also reasonably priced. Easy to walk to from the river or high street. Resident cat, nice beer garden and a good pint what more do you want..

This pub is a throwback to pubs you used to find all over London. Nice staff with a chilled atmosphere. Foods not the best. The roast dinner is poor but everything else is great.

This was our second visit of the month but our first for food as well as booze. There is a fabulous beer garden out back with plenty of seating, albeit with some obstacles and the seating very close together so take care not to stumble over. A great choice of ales and beers and the pub grub was just fabulous. All the staff are so friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommended.
