   Meeting family halfway this was the first time we have been to the Cross Keys, Carleton near Penrith. And what a great place from the welcome in the bar right through to the chat we had after paying the bill. It was Sunday lunch so we kinda knew what to expect, but it was better than we expected. Enough variety on the menu and lovely tasty hot great quality food all round. All the team were very very welcoming, pleasant and attentive. The service was great, thanks team you should be proud! Cannot recommend the Cross Keys , Carleton near Penrith enough and would definitely go there again.

   Enjoyed the food very much. Top like goes to the steak pie! Service a little slow (not a problem for us as we were in no rush) and seemed to be more to do with a staff shortage. In any event have hesitation in going back!!!

   I’ve been to the Cross Keys a few times now and each experience has been different. But the Sunday lunch was very good. Nice food and friendly staff. Overall very good and I will definitely go back in the future.

   We had quite a wait for the food to arrive which probably affected how we felt about eating there. The food was good but if we were in the area again we would chose elsewhere to eat .

   My husband got the pie which is normally nice, however he left most of it and said it was dry no flavour and the chips were soaked in fat, Our last visit he tried the pasta dish which was awful , it was like milk poured over pasta not flavour at all I don't think we will return for food However the service is great and the drinks are good
