Quinno _ left this review about The Cross Keys
Bit of an arse to get to up the hill. It’s a no-frills semi-modernised boozer with a friendly barmaid. Through the toilet corridor to a decent rear patio. A perhaps unexpected range of three cask with two smaller breweries (Little and Tiny Rebel) alongside Bass, the latter of which was fair but not really shifting (NBSS 2.5). 6.5

I would have like to have scored this pub higher as the beer quality was good and the pub was traditional and comfortable. However the landlady had a right attitude and was very impatient, along with two stuck up locals sitting in the front bar who were also a couple of ---holes. They did put on some extra beers for the Tutbury Beer Festival Weekend. These were three from Woodfordes, Nog, Bure Gold and Reedlighter, along with Bass and Dancing Duck Brewery Abduction.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Cross Keys
Good Beer Guide pub, slightly out from the centre of town but certainly worth the short walk. The main side entrance initially leads to a rear bar (deserted when I visited) but there were plenty of customers in the slightly split-level side seating area and main bar. All three parts are lightly decorated in a semi-traditional way. Three cask ales on handpump: a splendid Bass (£3.70) plus beers from Fyne and Dancing Duck.
