The Cross Keys was always a lovely pub and is even better now due to the very beautiful extension and refurbishment. The food is amazing they have a great selection of beer, wine and more to the point GIN. The Manager and her staff are very friendly and can’t do enough for you. I have had many wonderful meals there and will hopefully have many more.
The Cross Keys has a great atmosphere and one of the best pubs in Milton Keynes.
I love this pub from the great customer service / friendly staff / beautiful food / atmosphere...

A fantastic rustic country pub within the village of Woolstones yet only 2 miles from Milton Keynes centre - the pub has a wonderful atmosphere run by a highly professional but cheerful couple who offer excellent food and a great selection of wines and beers - a great place to visit and never disappointed
What a fabulous place this is with its new extension, so cosy and welcoming. Fabulous meal, staff fantastic, what more could you ask for. Definitely recommend this restaurant, you won’t be disappointed.
We had our sons 21st family meal a couple of weeks ago. 16 people and all meals came out together, hot and beautifully presented. I can highly recommend the food and all the staff were wonderful. Thank you so much for making our evening special xx
We have never been before but will definitely going again. Lovely old fashioned place with a great ambience. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were just right. We were served by Aaron who is absolutely brilliant- he has a smile that could light up the world and a great personality too...we will be back. Such a shame that we don’t live locally.
Fantastic meal, food was delish and the waiter Aaron couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you
The best food, atmosphere and service in Milton Keynes! Wonderful staff and great location too! And did I say the BEST food!
I was very lucky to be taken to the Cross Keys for my 65th Birthday meal, on the 30th March, it was such a lovely evening, made even more enjoyable by the excellent food and drinks, plus the staff were very attentive and lovely, will definitely be returning again very soon.
Loved this place. Fantastic food, a great selection to choose from and such good value. Really lovely staff and super service. Will certainly go again when back in the area.
I organised a 40th birthday meal for my brother , the food was amazing and so was the service very friendly staff we all had a lovely time, definitely be coming again thank you so much
Just walked home from the newly extended and refurbished Cross Keys, it's beautiful, food was fabulous and beautifully presented on stylish crocks, service was fantastic. It was a great place before, but it's just gorgeous now.
Best food in mk, best service in mk, best pub in mk 👍
Great pub and fantastic food. But more importantly Hannah who deals with all requests in a very timely and professional manner. Thank you for listening and making changes immediately. Very much appreciated x
A fabulous family meal at the Cross Keys. Food was delicious, service was great and kids loved being able to go and play outside inbetween courses. The extension and refurbishment has made an already brilliant pub even better. Well done Hannah and team xx
Had a fabulous 30th wedding anniversary meal just 21hrs after they re-opened. Amazing. Well done to all the staff. Long may it continue
Fish platter sharing starter was incredible! Excellent service.
So far one of the best pubs I’ve come across in Milton Keynes. Lots of parking available . Lovely chill vibe outside in the gardens with an outdoor bar. They were playing chill out which is my fav! Food was exquisite, with lovely presentation. Would highly recommend coming here. Service is great, the waiter came to check up on us to see if everything is good.
I had the Sea Bream which was tasty.
Excellent roast dinner, roast beef was so delicious it melted in the mouth. The chicken was great value as lots of meat and very tasty.
Desserts were delicious and service very good.
Lovely place, fantastic staff and outstanding food.
The venue was beautiful, couldn't fault a thing. The staff were beyond attentive, so much so, for the first time in my life I left a tip. The food tasted fresh and was brilliant, and again couldn't fault a thing. The next time I visit Milton Keynes I will definitely be returning. Hats off to you all

The Cross Keys is a little on the pricey side but it is well worth it. Quick service, friendly staff and not to mention INCREDIBLE food. I had the seafood linguine (£19.95) and in my opinion it was a bit much, but there was loads and loads of seafood. Dad & Granddad had the sea bass and they said there was nothing to fault, Mam had the pesto and added chicken to it (can also add salmon) and loved it. Would recommend for couples or groups of any size, wouldn't recommend for a solo eat-out.
Garden outside is spacious, the restaurant and bar area are separate.
Have been meaning to write a review for this place since June and finally getting round to it.
We sat outside in your outdoor restaurant area, which was beautiful. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was brilliant.
100% recommend the Souvlaki board and the scotch egg starter, WOW!
Had a fantastic meal here for our Wedding Anniversary.
The food tasted amazing, and was cooked exactly how we asked. The service was brilliant, with the servers being highly attentive. The restaurant is also beautiful.
Priced as expected, in my opinion.
Highly recommend for a lovely evening out!

We decided to give a go to this British restaurant after one of my good friend's recommendation.
We booked a table for our anniversary and I wanted to try something new, nice and where we could enjoy our special moment together.
We could have not chosen a better place.
Right off the bat we liked the aesthetics with thatched roof and that atmosphere of a serene traditional English pub.
Inside it looks welcoming with ample dining area, the place was full but at the same time relaxing. We sat down and despite being so busy we got our drinks pretty soon.
There is a nice selection of starters and meat dishes. We went for salmon to start with and it was delicious.
My wife went for chicken cooked with broccoli and mushrooms and I went for the ribeye, both excellently cooked, tender and very enjoyable.
We were attracted to the deserts being served at other tables and could not help but to order as they looked delicious.
I would like to thank this restaurant team for providing such a nice experience.
An exceptional roast. We had the vegetarian option. The roast potatoes were wonderful. My only criticism was the lack of cranberry or redcurrant sauce
I phoned ahead to book a table as I couldn't find a booking system online.
Friendly welcome from all staff. Interior is lovely. The food was amazing, good quality ingredients were used. The only issue was it was very warm, one lady asked to move tables somewhere cooler, but the whole pub was heated well. It's not something you would expect people to complain about, but when eating a large meal, being hot can be uncomfortable.
We had an amazing meal, the steak was incredible and service was great - the staff were very attentive and friendly; I would definitely go back.
Had an incredible Sunday lunch at the Cross Keys. Food was brilliant, service was attentive and a great atmosphere as well. Highly recommend!
Great food. We all had starters which we forgot to photo as we tucked in too quickly. They were amazing, as were the mains. I would highly recommend and we will be returning.
A perfect restaurant that literally ticks every box.
A bar area you can eat in.
A restaurant area, and a garden area.
Service was exceptionally fast and food came out the fastest I've ever seen !
Michelle the server was spot on.
The prices are reasonable too, with the portions the correct size to match.
Slight small criticism.... clean the toilets more often and fix the broken tiles in the ladies.
Understandably this is just decor and doesn't affect the service or experience.
I would definitely come back here again, and would thoroughly recommend it.
We move to UK 2 years ago, since then we are trying to eat a good English food. It's the best restaurant so far!! Absolutely amazing, if you want to eat a nice English food. We will back for sure and the next time we will visit it in Sunday to try the Sunday roast!! The only thing that maybe could be improve is that they was a bit insistent to order our food asking us every 2-3 minutes, we need a bit more time because we need to read the whole menu and translate it to my children and wife that doesn't speak English very well yet. But again we will return for sure the food is amazing.
Only have good things to say! Lots of delicious things to choose from on the menu, both me and my mum really enjoyed our lunch and the service was great too.
Fantastic gluten free fish and chips, best I've had. Food is really good
Gorgeous place.. beautiful quaint old building tastefully decorated. Great variety of menu and good kids menu. Delicious, tasty food, we all thoroughly enjoyed. Only fault - would prefer homemade chips. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
Great food, selection of drinks, ample space. We like this pub. Been there 4 times and going back again. Try Sunday roast, slow cooked lamb. It is delicious!
