Parts of the pub date back to the 13th century and it does have a colourful history that you can read about near the bar. It gets busy on a friday and saturday night, but has a small bar, so expect a bit of a wait. The food is hearty and well prepared by a dedicated chef. The restaurant is seperate to the bar area. It has a good courtyard area out the front for those warm summer evenings.

The food isn't as good as you would imagine and is definately more expensive than it should be. We actually have been turned away 2 times before on a saturday lunch time because we were a few minutes late which to be honest we werent that impressed with though! A mixed review really but we would go again one day.

This is a lovely pub in the heart of Thame with numerous 'dining rooms' that fill different areas…read morewith the lighter and more decorated area towards the back. There's also a patio out the back. It's more of an upscale eatery offering rather creative dishes that are beautifully presented. I was impressed with the cheese souffle starter, followed by the gnocchi that had interesting elements. Some crispy flakes with a few colorful lettuce greens carefully placed around the plate. Even the presentation of the kids pasta was unique. I took off a star for the billing mistakes we found after, instead of the two course kids meal which was clearly on the menu, they billed the items separately, didn't offer the kids drink and charged an additional £2.50 for our 1 year olds birthday ice cream scoop! They offer other celebrants a free small treat usually. So this was disappointing. However they do provide occasional coupon deals through

A pub like Cross Keys is confusing to Americans. It's furnished like your grandmother's living…read moreroom, it doesn't sell food other than a bag of chips (sorry - packet of crisps), and the beer isn't much more than 3.5% Where is all the uncomfortable bar stools you fight for because you don't want to stand by the bathroom all night? Where is the menu of fried foods where the dishes only distinguish themselves by being different shades of brown? Where are the quintuple IPAs that get you schnockered after three sips and taste like you're sucking on a rag soaked with turpentine? Like I said, confusing. Turth is, Cross Keys is a proper English pub where you can sit for hours with your friends (sorry - mates) and wax philisophical about the validity of an artificial rating system you've created. The service is sometimes surly and you'll probably be the youngest person there, but that shouldn't stop you. Bring a friend, grab a pint, and debate wisely... because last call is 11:30.

Mainly Mediterranean style food, we shared a mezze platter which had some great tasters and warm bread. I tried the moussaka, and others had fish or lamb. They also do roast dinners, chicken and pork. Most dishes came with veggies and salad or potatoes. Portions were big. Service was attentive. The venue has a great vibe, and the outside area is lovely in good weather.
