Visited after a short walk to Rame Head, two packets of crisps and two pints = £9.40 The food looked typical for the venue which in turn caters to visitors.

Sat outside and the service was quick and the food tasted great. If you want a snack or lunch then I recommend the nachos. Very reasonably priced. Perfect if you've got the ferry over from Plymouth

Booked a table in the window in the actual pub part of the pub (more atmosphere and on our own away from others). Arrived tonight to be told the lady had forgot, so we were shown to a table in a basic dining room where we would've been sat with chairs touching back-to-back with other diners. I know the law is now no masks, but every other pub seems to ask people to wear masks until seated and bar staff wear them. This pub had nothing. Disappointing as drove quite a long way for a meal and ended up not eating there.

Absolutely lovely pub, lovely food and excellent service. Much more affordable and quaint than other places nearby, and as I have personally heard many people around the area say, the cross keys has the best chips arounds. Definitely recommend

Very friendly service and welcoming staff. A beautiful pub with lots of character. Our children were made very welcome too. A small menu currently (understandably) and portions are a little in the small side.

Loved it! The waiting staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and the pricing was just right. Lovely atmosphere, really enjoyed our meal here and will be back.

The delightful twin village of Cawsand and Kingsand has long been an ideal family holiday destination with it's quaint narrow streets, old architecture, little coves, local attractions and much more besides.And at the heart of Cawsand in the village Square is the Cross Keys Inn, my personal favourite place to eat and drink locally.It's an old established character Inn just one minute off the beach and the landing point for the Cawsand to Plymouth Barbican (foot) ferry service.The pub management has taken on board the stringent government rules and regulations during the long coronavirus period and adapted to the ever changing criteria. The seating arrangements, simple instructions, relevant signage and staff guidance have all helped create a safe and hygienic environment for all.It's a shame some other establishments I visited locally didn't follow suit and blatantly flaunted the coronavirus rules !!!The Keys has a fine selection of beers ales lagers and spirits which cater for most tastes.The restaurant food menu is a simplified version of the original ( introduced to adapt to strict social distancing requirements / staff levels etc throughout the various stages of covid period).It still maintains a commendable choice whether opting for a table meal or takeaway.A selection of meat, fish, and vegetarian choices and also children's portions available ( freshly cooked using local produce where possible).The tables are cleaned quickly after use and table service is available both indoors and outside if using the pub's dedicated seating in the Square.Well behaved dogs are allowed and water bowls a courteous offering outside for any thirsty canines.The legendary live Sunday afternoon music sessions are back (4.30pm), so join the locals in singing badly out of tune and chilling to some talented local artists !Geoff Isobel and their fantastic team of attentive friendly and efficient staff contribute greatly to making the Cross Keys a great place to visit.Thanks all !!!

Lovely place for a drink and lunch on a very hot day. Great service too. Covid guidelines made explicit which made the ignorant behaviour of an opinionated bimbo look even more foolish (she rudely and loudly refused to wear a mask because of an alleged heart op ..... surely this is even more of a reason to wear one if you have half a brain). Nonetheless dealt with professionally by the landlord and staff. Definitely worth a visit!

Looks like the kind of pub I would have enjoyed spending an evening in, but the atmosphere was a little muted by social distancing. Still, the barman/waiter was cheerful and welcoming and doing well under the circumstances, so five stars for effort 👍
