You cannot leave feeling hungry My guest enjoyed their Bruschetta, sundried tomato bread topped with rainbow cherry tomatoes, black olives and red onion, finished with fresh basil and balsamic glaze. As well as six real ales, fresh tea and coffee are available. However, if you meet the team, you only need a short time in their company to see they love what they do.
There is a quiz every Tuesday at 8. British cuisine is to visitors' liking at this restaurant. As previously mentioned this looks as though it may have been recently done up, and the furniture in particular looked very new.
Cross Keys - However, even the most optimistic of individuals would never have predicted that they could take an establishment rated 128 on TripAdvisor all the way to the top three within a year.
On a recent midweek evening visit, there was nobody in the lounge, but a few punters in the bar. This has a fairly small wooden bar counter in the corner, and this was quite tricky to get to due to a few locals and their dog propping it up, and none of them showed any propensity to move so that I could actually get there to order a pint. Bar staff seemed friendly enough once I had managed to get there. The floor is red tiling, and the walls mostly pale green plasterwork with exposed stone along the front and a few beams on the ceiling. There is a fire place to one side, but all this had in it was a basket of logs and some fairy lights. A bit of a missed opportunity on a snowy January evening. As previously mentioned this looks as though it may have been recently done up, and the furniture in particular looked very new. The lounge to the left was perhaps more geared up for dining, and featured a wood laminate floor and some wood panelling on the walls. My Thai Green Curry was decent enough, if slightly on the spicy side, and consisted of an unspecified fish rather than the more usual chicken, along with as the menu was keen to point out , lemon rice and a braised spring onion. Beer choice seems somewhat diminished since the previous reviews. The solitary cider was Symonds Founders Reserve.

A big garden with lots of nice flowers on the pub and around the garden. Alot of real ale on and me and my husband are big fans but we had no clue witch one to try so we asked the lady behind the bar, she was abit confused with what to do so she asked the younge lad to serv us, he was very pleasnt and knew what he was talking about and recommended us a very nice pint of PotBellys Yelly Belly and a pint of St Austells Trelawny, in all the staff where very nice and friendly, highly recommended. Their was a couple of bad points.... We will go back again soon. No rating submitted Thuck Phat reviewed on 25 September 2011 Another traditional, thatched pub which has been swallowed up by the ever expanding MK metropolis. There are two distinct areas, the bar area with plastic covered benches and a more welcoming lounge with individual wooden tables. Despite being a Charles Wells boozer, there's obviously a real effort being made here to offer a wide selection of ales. There are 11 handpumps offering: Wells Eagle IPA and Naked Gold, Youngs Bitter and Special, Courage Directors, Tring Jack O'Legs and Brock Bitter, Olney Hopping Mad, Crouch Vale Brewers Gold and Summer Breeze and Bath Ales Gem on our visit. An impressive smattering of microbreweries represented there, some local, in addition to the underwhelming Wells offerings. My Summer Breeze was ok without being stunning and I'd tend to agree with Mr Fastard that 11 ales may be a touch ambitious if the quality is to be kept high. Nonetheless, much better to show this level of ambition and reduce numbers if need be than never give the more adventurous choices a go. I'd pop in again to see what, other than the Wells beers, is on. Rating: 7 Pub details are supplied by members of this site to the best of their knowledge.

Nonetheless, much better to show this level of ambition and reduce numbers if need be than never give the more adventurous choices a go. Quite a few establishments are quiet on a Cross keys milton keynes evening but we were greeted with a bustling bar area, an almost full restaurant and the guests enjoying a drink in the garden were plentiful. The accompanying jus was a delight. There is little or no chance of ever leaving Cross Keys feeling hungry. We will go back again soon. This was yummy and the rich flavours of the custard were much enjoyed alongside the home made shortbreads. There was no question where i wanted to have my bday lunch, cross keys hands down. Despite being a Charles Wells boozer, there's obviously a real effort being made here to offer a wide selection of ales. I decided to start with the relatively simple Wild Mushrooms.
