My favorite pub in the UK! I’ve visit a lot of pubs but the Cross Keys is near home and every time I go is all joy, food, drinks, restaurant, pub, garden in summer… I visit almost every week and I never regret it. Fully recomended! Best part? Cruzcampo, a beer from Sevilla, my home town.
Tried this pub for a roast dinner as it’s a half way point for ourselves and our friends. What a great find! Easy parking, fantastic roast with great portion sizes (and enough gravy!) and service was excellent. Alex our main waiter was great, friendly and attentive but all the other staff were really friendly too. Very impressed and will definitely return
Visited The Cross Keys in Woolstone for the first time last night with my father and had a lovely dinner. All our starters and the main — Beef Wellington — were perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavour. Literally everything was excellent, from the food to the service. The setting is beautiful too, with a charming and historic 16th-century building that adds great atmosphere.
First visit for me today, recommended by my mum. Came for a roast, was delicious. The Yorkshire pudding and generous portion of gravy was definitely a bonus. Had the sharing platter for 2, and we got to swap out the pork belly, which was very nice of them. Food came quickly, staff were friendly and attentive, and the price was very reasonable.
We visited The Cross Keys in Milton Keynes for the first time on a Sunday and had a wonderful experience. The pub itself is full of character, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The staff were excellent – friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was superb, especially the sharing Sunday roast platter, which was absolutely delicious and perfect for a relaxed meal together. A lovely old pub with great service, fantastic food, and plenty of charm. We’ll definitely be returning!
I phoned ahead to book a table as I couldn't find a booking system online. Friendly welcome from all staff. Interior is lovely. The food was amazing, good quality ingredients were used. The only issue was it was very warm, one lady asked to move tables somewhere cooler, but the whole pub was heated well. It's not something you would expect people to complain about, but when eating a large meal, being hot can be uncomfortable.
We decided to give a go to this British restaurant after one of my good friend's recommendation. We booked a table for our anniversary and I wanted to try something new, nice and where we could enjoy our special moment together. We could have not chosen a better place. Right off the bat we liked the aesthetics with thatched roof and that atmosphere of a serene traditional English pub. Inside it looks welcoming with ample dining area, the place was full but at the same time relaxing. We sat down and despite being so busy we got our drinks pretty soon. There is a nice selection of starters and meat dishes. We went for salmon to start with and it was delicious. My wife went for chicken cooked with broccoli and mushrooms and I went for the ribeye, both excellently cooked, tender and very enjoyable. We were attracted to the deserts being served at other tables and could not help but to order as they looked delicious. I would like to thank this restaurant team for providing such a nice experience.
We move to UK 2 years ago, since then we are trying to eat a good English food. It's the best restaurant so far!! Absolutely amazing, if you want to eat a nice English food. We will back for sure and the next time we will visit it in Sunday to try the Sunday roast!! The only thing that maybe could be improve is that they was a bit insistent to order our food asking us every 2-3 minutes, we need a bit more time because we need to read the whole menu and translate it to my children and wife that doesn't speak English very well yet. But again we will return for sure the food is amazing.
A perfect restaurant that literally ticks every box. A bar area you can eat in. A restaurant area, and a garden area. Service was exceptionally fast and food came out the fastest I've ever seen ! Michelle the server was spot on. The prices are reasonable too, with the portions the correct size to match. Slight small criticism.... clean the toilets more often and fix the broken tiles in the ladies. Understandably this is just decor and doesn't affect the service or experience. I would definitely come back here again, and would thoroughly recommend it.
