About The Cross Keys

On Lairgate in Beverley, The Cross Keys is a pub occupying a tavern building dating to the 18th century. British food and drinks are ordered and paid for at the bar, with a mobile app offering an alternative way to place orders. Service runs walk-in, and waiting to be served at the bar happens at busier times. A beer garden sits alongside the main room. Tables and glassware are cleared through the course of service.

Customer Review Summary

Value pricing comes up again and again, with reviewers pointing to a Sauvignon Blanc and Stella pint together for under nine pounds and alcoholic drinks generally well priced compared to nearby venues. Some diners also praise the food, citing a Chicken, Stuffing, Bacon and Cranberry Panini and a Big Cheese Pizza enjoyed by the fireside, and one visit on a busy market day described the food and drink as high standard with friendly, efficient staff. Against this sits a recurring complaint about slow service and uncleared tables: multiple reviewers describe long waits for drinks and food, including one party who waited 75 minutes before their order never arrived and received a refund, and another whose app order took 30 minutes with meals arriving dried up and a garlic bread too hard to cut. One reviewer also reports being handed a cup with residue from a previous shift amid uncleared tables. A few also note the menu has narrowed, with regulars missing dishes like gammon, egg and chips or the Mixed Grill.

    “Food was cold and over cooked. Went in for breakfast. There where items missing from breakfast. Which they did bring out after we brought to attention of waitress. The drinks didn't taste right almost yasted like the soft drinks had been cleaned but some cleaning stuff was in my drink was not nice. Lovely place i think maybe we causght them on a bad day”

    “Arrived right at 11:00 AM for that quiet morning atmosphere, only to be personally handed a "clean" cup with our order that was anything but. Nothing quite says "attention to detail" like being directly given a cup featuring a delightful crust from the previous shift, all while surrounded by a dining room of sticky tables left completely uncleared. Truly a masterclass in front-of-house hospitality. If you enjoy your morning brew with a side of mystery residue and staff who hand you their cleaning failures face-to-face, you'll feel right at home.”

    “Worst meal we have ever had in a wetherspoons. Ordered 3 simple meals and a garlic bread via the app. Took 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive and a further 15 minutes for the food. When the meals did arrive they were all dried up and virtually inedible and the garlic bread was so dry we couldn't cut it with a knife and had to break it up and again was inedible!! Nobody around to complain too so it all got left and basically we wasted £25.00.”

    “Beyond disappointed with our visit today. Ordered our drinks & food at 2.05pm (party of four). Waited 25 mins for the drinks to arrive, then waited 75 minutes for our food order, which never came. When we chased up the order after an hour, we were told they were just cooking our chips. We asked for a full refund for the whole drinks & food order, which they provided straightaway, and we left to go elsewhere. We will not be returning. It wasn't even busy! The whole time we were there, not one table was cleared of dirty dishes. We all had to clear & clean our own before sitting down. Not good enough!”

    “I fall into the camp of not being able to ignore Wetherspoons rather than being in the Neverspoons camp. Reasonably busy late afternoon & a couple of hard working girls on the bar. Outside was popular - we sat inside. Wetherspoons offer GREAT VALUE if you’re eating or drinking or both. A 175ml glass of Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc & a very nice pint of Stella for £8.34 which is extremely good value when compared with the £15+ we’d paid for a pint of craft beer & a glass of white Rioja in the previous venue we’d visited. The pub was clean, modern & cool. We didn’t wait long at all for each of the three rounds that I ordered & paid for at the bar.”
