The Cross Keys
Review
About
Tucked away in the back streets of London’s W6, The Cross Keys has all the right ingredients. Proper food, great value, exceptional ale and witty banter at the bar come as standard, while the roaring fire,Sky and Bt Sports, darts board and board games are the icing on the cake. Pop in for a pint! Don't forget the Barn an outstanding function room and great value. Two amazing beer gardens "The Patio" and "the Terrace" quiz every Thursday. A real Community Pub.

Come to this pub when in the area, it's very relaxed, unpretentious with a good home cooked food menu that's also reasonably priced. Easy to walk to from the river or high street. Resident cat, nice beer garden and a good pint what more do you want..

I adored the Cross Keys. It felt like an old school style British pub that I'd been seeking as an American tourist in the area. All staff were so kind to us, we loved our pints, and we kept coming back for Kirsty cat who was a grand surprise on our first visit! I imagine the Thai food isn't great, as reviews say, so probably don't go for dinner. Go for drinks, chat, and a generally excellent time. They seem to do karaoke, live music and trivia/comedy nights often as well, if you're into that kind of thing. But the pub's big enough that if it's not your scene, you can still come and enjoy your drinks in peace!

When I first visited Cross Keys I thought “Proper pub, really nice” . Having now been several times, once with a large group , more often in smaller groups or alone, I just love it . It’s a proper pub where the bar and garden are for drinkers who may want to eat , not the other way round. The atmosphere is friendly. TheLondonPride is as good as any I have had-lovingly kept and poured in Guiness style 2 phase operation. They have decent food . They do sport viewing really well . The manager and staff are decent people . Comedy nights , ukulele nights ( I keep saying I should go…)
It’s so rare and wonderful to find a pub like this . Long may they thrive

Dire. Bartender had no clue, handed me a sticky plasticised menu and showed no further interest. And then couldn’t be bothered to speak a word although the pub was empty (3pm). Thai food was worse than your average takeaway. Owner showed no interest in anything but his upcoming pub quiz. Stay away

Entered the cross keys pub in the late night to entertain me and a close friend with food and drink.
I ordered the traditional staple of Steak and kidney pie,with a side of Onion rings, quite a simple dish to prepare nothing could go wrong!!!!.
Delivered the food I ordered,Broke into the pie, not as I would of expected a light fluffy crust which breaks easy,Not in the slightest. Needed to break open the crust with a huge thrust of my knife I was provided with.
This would not be the first time I had this unfortunate occurance.
I passed on my concerns to the waitress who said she would pass on my concerns to the chef. Was not offered any alternative e.g complimentary drink/Dessert etc.
The pub is a lovely haven away from the hustle and bustle of the world problems.
But I would order an alternative to the for mentioned dish.

I challenge anyone to serve a better Fullers London pride than here at the Cross Keys in Chiswick.
Seriously due to the line cleaning and deep old cellar the pride serves up creamy.
Absolute gem of a find!

This was our second visit of the month but our first for food as well as booze. There is a fabulous beer garden out back with plenty of seating, albeit with some obstacles and the seating very close together so take care not to stumble over. A great choice of ales and beers and the pub grub was just fabulous. All the staff are so friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommended.

Friendly welcome and outside area which was nice for a sunny afternoon. A few games which we were able to play and a cute pub cat. A nice way to spend an hour or two. And they take cash, always a plus!!

An absolutely outstanding place.
The food and drink are excellent, the staff are friendly and in fact, very attentive. For example, even during these restrictions, they still found seats for us. Well worth a visit to anybody passing by.

A nice pub with a pretty garden but sadly it is ruined by incredibly rude staff, subpar drinks and overpriced everything. Even with simple enquiries you are treated like a second class citizen. Very confused as to why people think this is a good place to watch sport. The screen is tiny and they don’t even put the sound on. Stuffy and snobby!

This pub is a throwback to pubs you used to find all over London. Nice staff with a chilled atmosphere. Foods not the best. The roast dinner is poor but everything else is great.
