Alan Winfield left this review about The Cross Keys

When i first went in the Cross keys in 1980 it was an Everards tied house with a decent drink of Everards Tiger Bitter on the bar.
On a recent visit the pubs seems pretty much unchanged inside.
Once inside the bar faces in an L shaped room which is divided into almost two separate rooms,the right side has comfy bench seating with chairs and small stools,there is a darts board to the rear right,the floor is stone tiled,the left side extends to the rear.
There were four real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Wye Valley HPA which went down very well,the other real ales were Thwaites Lancaster Bomber,Pedigree and Doom Bar.
Background music was playing to an almost empty pub on a Saturday dinner,which is a shame.
I thought this was a very pleasant pub to have a drink in.
