Cross Keys - Newark and Sherwood

Not been to the Cross Keys since the restart. Decided to pay a visit in late October and we were most impressed. The menu is varied and includes dishes beyond those normally available in pubs. As well as the pub favourites there are currys, pasta dishes and other specials. Portion sizes are also quite generous. Tables arranged around a nice, welcoming fire place and the wine is very good. Finally, the price was most reasonable for the dishes and the wine we had. All in all a very good evening out. I would recommend paying a visit to the Cross Keys.

This charming little pub offers delicious food and has a friendly staff! The beer was tasty, and the atmosphere was laid-back. I highly recommend this place for a meal or just some casual drinks.

"The sirloin steaks at this restaurant are excellent. All of our meals were fantastic, including the gluten-free homemade scampi. We will definitely be returning. The drinks, service, and warm welcome made for a lovely night out."

Having moved a couple years ago from South Wales, I truly lucky to live in a village with a fantastic pub on my door step. With recent restrictions and lockdowns being in place for over a year, it has been a difficult and sad time for many businesses. But The Cross Keys Pub in Upton has a great sense of community and fantastic atmosphere. And thanks to the staff and local community, it’s heartwarming seeing such a good place on my doorstep thriving. My family I, always enjoy our evenings here. (Including two young boys, who are usually bored very easily). The staff are attentive and friendly.. The food meets beyond the expectations of just pub food! Ingredients are fresh and everything is made to order. All round service is faultless! Highly recommend: the pizza, scampi steak The Landlords really have done an excellent job! But not just a job, they are a great asset to this establishment.

This was my second visit to the Cross Keys this year and it did not fail to come up to expectations. The menu is imaginative and there is plenty to chose from, but on this night they were doing burgers as a special. It was a good one, with crunchy, home-cooked chips. Pudding, likewise. As for beer, the choices are nearly overwhelming, but I stuck to two of the three that are apparently made there by the landlord, which are well worth trying. It was busy midweek, so booking for food is advised.
