Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Cross Keys
Attractive old pub, once on a country lane no doubt, and despite being well within the Milton Keynes conurbation it still has a semi-traditional rural feel. Very much food led these days of course, even in the bar area separated from the restaurant by the central servery. Patio beer garden to the rear . Three cask ales on handpump: the Brewpoint Anchorman IPA and Pilothouse porter (£4.90) as well as the more routine Doom Bar.

Thatched village pub which has now been swalloped up by Milton Keynes. Most of Milton Keynes' pubs appear to be branches of chains, but this one appears to be more of a free house, formerly a Charles Wells pub. It appears popular with locals.
It was quite busy on our Sunday evening visit. We sat in the rather noisy and boisterous bar area. There is also a separate restaurant. Whatpub promised a selection of Brewpoint beers, but the real ale range was limited to 4 national beers - Fuller's London Pride, St Austell Proper Job, Timothy Taylor Landlord & Black Sheep Best Bitter. There were a couple of unclipped handpulls on the corner of the bar, which presumably normally carry Brewpoint beers.

Called in while visiting Buckinghamshire's 2019 Good Beer Guide pubs in the Milton Keynes area. The pub is owned by Charles Wells brewery, and is a period thatched roof pub that was refurbished earlier this year. 6 ales available but they were all mainstream beers rather than locale, and we chose Wadworth 6x which was ok.
