About Cross Keys
Cross Keys is a pub on Tadcaster Road in Dringhouses, York, with a sports bar side and a restaurant menu that runs through lunch service. The kitchen turns out comfort-led plates such as macaroni cheese, a Beef and Ale pie and a Signature Burger, and the team works around intolerance issues with a range of options to suit. Horse race meetings play on the TVs across the bar, and dogs are welcome inside. The pub sits within the Nicholsons scheme, which has offered members a free drink.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently praise the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere, with the Signature Burger and Beef and Ale pie singled out as standouts. One diner, however, describes the macaroni cheese as tasting microwaved and reports a server carrying plates by sleeve, calling it unhygienic. Others note a good range for dietary needs and a free drink offer through an app.
