"Called in here on our way to Newark as it WAS our favourite eatery. We sat down and checked the menu....it had all changed plus was so plain! All the beautiful fish dishes were no longer there! Everything seemed to be focused around quick easy meals sadly. We asked what had happened to the old menu were informed that the old people had left and they had employed a new Chef.Big disappointment, I asked if they had gone local but was told the previous owners had retired but didn't know where they had moved to, and the chef had moved to a new pub but didn't know what it was called or where it was So we thought we would give it a go seeing we were there. Big disappointment sadly, we decided to have the sausage and mash as everything else sounded deep fried or frozen. The sausages were very nice but the mash was watery and the gravy tasteless!Sadly we won't be returning when we pop down this way, but if anyone can enlighten where the original Chef has moved to can you drop me a message."

"The sirloin steaks at this restaurant are excellent. All of our meals were fantastic, including the gluten-free homemade scampi. We will definitely be returning. The drinks, service, and warm welcome made for a lovely night out."

This is my third visit since the reopening and it was just as great as before. The menu offers a variety of options, the portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the location is lovely. What's not to love! I highly recommend this restaurant. View menu

We had passed The Cross keys earlier in the day and kept it in mind for the return trip. Good call. Amazing value for money, we all had the mixed Grill which was amazing. The staff were really helpful and when we were unsure which beer to go for we were offered samples to try! Great pub good food excellent beer.

We went for a birthday celebration and did not realise the pub had recently changed hands. The food was some of the worst pub food I have eaten with the emphasis being on quantity not quality. The dishes had obviously been frozen and the steak was overcooked, tough and tasteless. In the pub's favour was a good beer selection.

Menu looked pretty good for choice, but I just fancied some scampi....Worst I’ve ever had, it was basically mulch shaped into large prawns with that awful orange dye coated onto it. Superb batter I must admit but there was sod all flavour to the fake ‘scampi’, the chips wernt great either. God knows what the other food on the menu is like. I didn’t think u could get Scampi wrong so i won’t be going again. Decent service, so credit for that at least. View menu

We’ve not been to this pub for years and it’s certainly changed. Out has gone the country chintz feel and it now has a distinctly casual and relaxed vibe. Greeted by lovely friendly landlord and lady. Menu has pub favourites plus being Sunday, the traditional roast. We went for that but I guess for families the fact you can actually have what you want rather than a roast must be great! Our roasts were lovely, more than we could eat consisting of fresh cooked meat accompanied by 4 veg and both roast and mashed potato. Not forgetting of course the Yorkshire pud with thick lovely gravy. Desert was equally delicious Great place, great food and nice people for a very fair price We’ll go back

Having moved a couple years ago from South Wales, I truly lucky to live in a village with a fantastic pub on my door step. With recent restrictions and lockdowns being in place for over a year, it has been a difficult and sad time for many businesses. But The Cross Keys Pub in Upton has a great sense of community and fantastic atmosphere. And thanks to the staff and local community, it’s heartwarming seeing such a good place on my doorstep thriving. My family I, always enjoy our evenings here. (Including two young boys, who are usually bored very easily). The staff are attentive and friendly.. The food meets beyond the expectations of just pub food! Ingredients are fresh and everything is ma...

"I’ve just realised I’ve been visiting The Beck for over 20 years now for both drinks and meals with friends and family and I’ve never written a review! The Beck for me is home from home and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve visited. They say a business is only as good as it’s staff, and maybe this is why The Beck has lasted so long with a reputation for a relaxed atmosphere good food and good service. The staff here are friendly, caring and professional, I’ve never been anywhere where I felt so at home as The Beck. Edward, Julie, Theresa, Kieran and not forgetting Trish in the kitchen make the place what it is! In 20 years I’ve never had a bad meal here, the food is excellent, and today did not disappoint. I was treating my parents and wife to a belated Mother’s Day and Dad’s birthday meal out, I had the lamb roast which was sublime and my dad had the blade of beef which in his words was “melt in your mouth” good! My Wife had a chilli and my Mum had the flat bread, which were also very nice and portions are plentiful. My daughter has Dairy and Soya allergies and wanted sausages and mash however the mash had butter in it so they made it with chips instead, she also cleared her plate! If you want to go somewhere with a nice warm friendly atmosphere and excellent food at very reasonable prices then The Beck is definitely worth a visit."
