The Cross Keys in Braintree

Went there for lunch, limited veggie options but what I did have was tasty. Few unusual beers on tap and very helpful and cheerful bar staff. Large beer garden out the back which was a nice surprise.

Friendly and welcoming. Good beer, chatty locals, helpful and pleasant landlord. Wel worth the visit.

The food was off the charts, fantastically cooked, well presented. Staff were amazing and the bill was incredibly well priced for the quality of food. 10/10 would visit again.

Terrible roast dinner meagre portions at £15 a head plus they over charged us and when we called and they admitted ‘they’d pushed the wrong button’ the woman there said they’d buy us a drink when we came back but no refund!! 🤣🤣Honestly I can cook better myself than this place wouldn’t go here for a roast for all the money in the world!

8 of my family ate here yesterday afternoon including my 2 young granddaughters & it was so nice.The food was delicious, very tasty & just like home cooking.The staff were wonderful, very friendly & inviting.The atmosphere & seating was very comfortable.And finally we thought the bill was very reasonable, worth every penny.We will definitely be eating & drinking there again & would encourage & recommend to anyone to give this restaurant a try you would not be disappointed.It was a very enjoyable experience forus.Thank You to all the staff at Cross Keys.

A very enjoyable evening. Our food was very good, fun atmosphere with carol singers & song sheets handed out so everyone could participate.

Nice place but the food could have been much better for a Sunday roast the soup we had first was only just worm and did not taste like onion soup I have had in the past and the collieflower chease was the worst I had ever had. Did not taste like cheese sauce just powder form. Went there about 5 years ago and it was really nice want go back anymore. The girls that were on where lovly felt sorry for them..

Great staff, nice decor, the meal was ok but it lacked proper finishes. What i mean by this is the gravy was very water and my freinds lamb looked anemic, and the carrots were too hard to eat.

Went for a Sunday roast and the place didn't disappoint. The sitting outside is spaced well to allow for social distancing. The whole property was warmly furnished and clean.The food was beautiful presented; the portions were not too big or just piled up as off putting. Their baked cheesecake was divine.Lastly, the staff including the chef were very professional and welcoming.Will definitely be visiting again.

We went on a sunday as a large family group, staff and owner are really friendly they couldn't do enough. The food is real tasty home cooked food. We will definitely be back, a great find.
