The Keys at Slyne Reviews

Recently refurbed to a very high spec.
Six of us went for a meal. All of us were impressed by the food served.

Haven't been here in such a long time as it started to get really bad, we thought we would give it a try again as we used to absolutely love it. Got to say I won't be back in any hurry. The food was terrible, and expensive, the poor girl serving was brand new so forgot lots. Im not blaming the girl she should have been shadowed better and also the management once knowing she had messed up, quite some, should have come to notify us instead of embarrassing the poor girl by making her come over and do it. Shame it's gone the way is has but means I'll just stick to
The Greaves

I went on mother's Day and there was nothing left was not that good but cost 90 pounds for 4 adults. They substituted menu items without telling us.

A welcome stop for a lovely lunch. Good food and ambience.

Went for a family meal. They didn't have a specials board like they used to but did have a fix price menu instead.
My daughter had to season her humus which came as part of her starter.
I had small fish and chips, the batter wasn't seasoned and the potatoes where burnt. We have been here numerous times and this the time I have complaints about food.

We were short of a black pudding and the batter on the fish was heavy. Good beer, arrived at a time that seemed very peaceful (Monday lunch) plenty of parking, space for the children and good service by the member of staff.

Love the refurbishment & new menu. Local pub for local people & more.

All the best for the future.

Was very good. Excellent quality good staff service..

Just had a Sunday lunch with family. Flavoursome meal, good portions and value for money. Real homemade massive yorkshire puds were delicious. Lemon sponge, choc fudge cake and apple crumble all delicious. Young waitress very pleasant and attentive. All in all a nice friendly pub, will definitely visit again.

Nice decor since refurbishment but food not up to standard I'm afraid

Lovely friendly staff who are always available to assist you. I have had three dishes now from the menu and enjoyed each one so I do highly recommend the food. Great tapped beer & Very nice atmosphere to the place too.

Steak awful, over prised full of grissel worst steak I've had out

Went for Sunday lunch and it was delicious. Staff very knowlegeable and friendly.

Our first visit since the revamp and the food and service was excellent.

Food great, family friendly, staff very good, wheelchair access great. I have a Brocken leg and was in a wheelchair, the staff were great and my birthday meal with the family was very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this lovely place.

Excellent food and service was fantastic staff all brilliant

This was our second visit and both times had a great meal lovely FLAVOURS and staff very helpful and I would recomend the cross keys

Though the menus online contain a lot of items that aren't actually available in-house, the food quality and presentation of food served are worth the visit.
Booking a table online is recommended as for this Wednesday evening, most tables were full by 1830hrs.
Thank you

Not great im afraid. Very greasy food. Wont be rushing back.

Very slow service food was of a high standard but service poor

Lovely place lovely food and great friendly service

Good food, good service, good surroundings, good value.

Good food and quick service
Nice staff good prices

Excellent service, excellent food. Will visit again.

Very quiet Monday night. Food good, value for money. Staff very nice and friendly. Easy parking. Overall rating good.

Kofta starter was a soggy, the wife enjoyed her pate, the roast potatoes on the main course were greasy and hard as stones, we both left them and felt sick from the ones we did eat. Ordered pizza for our daughter, if was one of the round microwave type which I thought was a disgrace to serve in a restaurant. Was far better before changing owners, certainly won't be going back.

Extremely disappointed in the meal. I had to send it back twice. Firstly got a thick gravy over my chicken when I asked specifically for just chicken and chips, nothing else. I got a replacement with melted cheese and bacon on it with barely warm chips. I just wanted a simple meal. No apology. Got a 3rd meal, it was reasonably hot and the chicken was burnt, like on a barbecue but quite tasteless unfortunately. No discount was offered. The service was very good overall. A lovely pleasant pub otherwise. Such a shame.

Great food, good portions, nice place, great staff, but waited for ages for food.

Beautiful decor.clean warm.wasn't rushed great service .

Good food at reasonable prices, with friendly staff

Booked table for 7:30pm, ordered 15 minutes later, sat waiting for 1 hour watching the shambles around us. There seemed to be no organisation to the staff. Asked where our food was only to be told it hadn't been ordered and been put through so was then put through and came hot. At least 5 tables walked out. If this is a 4.2 out of 5 I would dread to think what a 1 is!!!!!!

Excellent tasty food; large portions too... Chicken Kiev sublime.. and the ice cream was yummy. Staff lovely allround great evening

Lovely atmosphere and the place looks great after the recent refurb. We loved our meals and the menu has lots of choice. Good value too. Would recommend

Excellent food and not overly expensive. The owners are on the front line and very much involved in running the place. They seem to care very much that the customer is treated well which is something other establishments should take note of.

Recently refurbished, lovely bar/restaurant, reasonably priced with good choice of beer/wine and gins

The refurbishment is outstanding, staff very friendly and accommodating and the bar is also dog friendly with even a section with blankets, cushions and treats for you 4 legged friends. Now the food...beautiful! My favourites being the fillet steak and most recently sea bass and scallops which was delicious, can't even fault the dishes! Excellent value for money with a 7oz fillet costing 19.99 and comes with triple cooked chips, onion rings, tomatoe and some greens...my new favourite pub

Sunday lunch was delicious at very reasonable prices. Friendly atmosphere, professional service and staff. Dog friendly, which is always a bonus for me. Lovely pub and would definitely recommend. Will definitely be calling again.

Lovely new place, everything you want in a cosy pub.

Refurb is gorgeous, staff lovely.. Very friendly. Chose the steak pie, not as nice as the previous homemade pie however good value for 2 course. Bit disappointed no Hake speciality....

It's time here , lovley setting, really nice decor. Friendly staff, great service. Nice food

Great quality food at a reasonable price, nice setting and decor, great for an afternoon meal and drinks. Friendly and helpful staff, food portions were good. Would go definitely go again

Lovely meal, lovely place, friendly obliging staff, well done. Would recommend. A1.

We've not been since the refurb, but the place is beautiful. Great food and great service. We will definitely be returning very soon

Nice quiet pub restaurant with good quality of food. Not sure about the starter of oak smoked pate, the layer of fat was too deep, and more slices of bread would be welcome. Nevertheless the pate was excellent in combination with the chutney. Both main courses matched our expectations, although the BBQ was a touch smoky, it matched the vegen burger nicely. The beef and red wine pie was well prepared with well matched vegs.

Went on a Sunday, didn't book but got a table without problems. Excellent attentive staff, coped with gluten free and the cheese and onion pie was the best I've had in years. Good menu for something slightly different from meat pie and chips.

We had the rib of beef Sunday lunch and it was amazing, it just fell off the bone. Good mix of vegetables, tasty, rich gravy.

Took over an hour to get our food. Gave us free puds as compensation.

Excellent service & food @ the refurbished XKeys. Good access for mobility challenged - ask for ramp to be put down @ front.

Absolutely great food and service, will go back again

Very welcoming. The staff are always very helpful. This pub is our family favourite.

Another excellent meal in pleasant surroundings. Very attentive staff. Highly recommend.

Lovely friendly staff always made to feel welcome child friendly my girls like it and food is nice

Lovely fish & chips & sticky toffee pud tonight. Excellent friendly service. Felt like VIPs!
