Trading Style

The Cross Keys is a beloved pub for both locals and visitors, blending the charm of a cosy pub with the appeal of a quality dining experience. A new licensee will have the exciting opportunity to build on the success of this thriving pub and the focus should be on serving high-quality, home-cooked meals, including weekend specials and the all-important Sunday roast. Promotional menus, such as lunchtime offers and “Fish Friday,” are likely to be warmly welcomed by the loyal customer base. Reviving popular midweek events, like the quiz night, and introducing new attractions, such as acoustic or soul music evenings, could further enhance the pub’s rhythm and appeal throughout the week. Externally, the pub’s vast potential truly shines. The expansive beer garden is an idyllic summer spot for hosting events like BBQs or charity fundraisers, providing a perfect setting for customers to enjoy food and drinks in the sunshine.
