"A very traditional and sympathetic building but there is more, a lot more. We stayed for a weekend after choosing somewhere south of us from Spalding. There was a lot to chose from obviously, but within an hour or so we settled on Chatteris as the crime rate looked low, looked promising as a hub to explore the Fenlands and its natural beauty of bird spots. We rang around and liked the sound of the cross keys, a very warm welcoming feeling flushed over us so we booked direct and it did not disappoint. The attention to details, the historical artefacts, the respect shown by everyone to each other was very moving. The room was immaculate, spotless and well stocked with condiments. We ate on both nights and the service was 10/10, the food equally so. We made the right choice! Speaking to what we now know as David and Rebecca, the owners we were enthralled to receive a guided tour of their function room and other rooms. A well in the floor, wow! Flagstones in the middle, swords and shields everywhere, it certainly captured our imagination. Where else could you stay in a magnificent 'palace ' like this at these prices? It was like Hampton Court. The Wi Fi in the room was exceptionally fast as we understand a previous resident had ripped out the RJ11 cable whatever that meant but David certainly knew his technical stuff. We felt very, very safe with all the CCTV cameras around and how all the regulars looked after each other even leaving their wallets and cigarettes on the bar as everyone knew it was perfectly safe. We did venture out just out of curiosity along the High Street. Walked into one pub a few feet up and walked straight out again, no thank you. Then across the road to another establishment to see a strange man sat in a room on his own grinning to himself in the window. Again, we walked in and walked out. There were some nice shops in the high street. Overall, we made the right choice and cant thank the staff and regulars for really making a great experience."

Don't go to the Cross keys to eat as disappointing as it was and very expensive the proprietor David Leaning is extremely rood and unprofessional. Not a good example for anyone in that particular profession.

fantastic old building but the decor very dated and the shower just dribbled. Didn't sleep very well as the floors obviously creaked and noise travelled very easily from other guests. The staff were all amazing and breakfast was good.

The atmosphere and surroundings are wonderful. The food was excellent and the price very reasonable. I pay more for rubbish in Exeter. Good to get to get quality food and service. Nice to meet you David and the staff. Beautiful people.

We hosted my mom's wake at The Cross Keys. The food was fantastic and the staff was very accommodating. Since then, my dad and I have been having lunch there regularly. The meals are always served hot and in generous portions. I would highly recommend The Cross Keys.

We stayed at this restaurant for three nights and it was our second time there because we love it so much. We always stay here when we visit family and friends. On Wednesday and Thursday nights, they have steak specials where you can get a perfectly cooked ribeye steak for only £11.95. Friday nights are curry nights and the meal was mouthwatering and perfectly cooked. The breakfast we had was the best we've had in a long time. We wouldn't want to stay or eat anywhere else because the food and service were that amazing.

We came to the Cross Keys on Tuesday for dinner and drinks with friends. From start to finish the experience was fantastic. What a lovely find, clean.. quirky, great selection of drinks and the bar manager who could not do enough for us with a great sense of humor too! I wish their were more places with such genuine people, who are genuinely interested in what the customers want! We will be back without a shadow of a doubt, food was fabulous. Even though it was busy the wait was not long, and time to enjoy more drinks!! thank you

We decided to try this restaurant based on a recommendation, and it certainly lived up to our expectations. As soon as we walked in, it felt like they knew us by name, which was quite impressive. We had made a reservation, and the staff made sure to inquire about any allergies or dietary restrictions, which was a nice touch. We were seated promptly, and the attention to detail was impeccable. We had the pleasure of speaking with the owners, who had a great sense of humor and made us feel very comfortable. The four of us had starters, main courses, and desserts, and without exaggeration, we had the best steaks we've ever had. The homemade desserts were a delightful end to the meal, far better...

I’ve spent a few nights here and have been able to experience an amazing old England atmosphere whilst being surrounded by kind and welcoming people.. the owners are very family oriented and adoring people, who enjoy the old England history and artefacts, as reflected inside the hotel walls. Wherever you eyes take you, you’re bound to find historical pieces and art.. the overall structure of the building also very well reflects the historical aspect of old England. The rooms themselves are each very different in look and personality yet equally link to the old England theme, no room is the same. Alongside of its looks, the food is equally as impressive. From breakfast, lunch to dinner, the f...

I have stayed here 3 times in the last couple of weeks for work puposes and i have to say it is one of the best experiences in a very long time. From entry to exit, i have found the staff, the owners and the regulars all extremely knowledgable and took an instant liking to the style and flair of the establishment. They have some of the best real ales I have ever tasted and cannot fault the blonde Legacy (along with Norfok Gem and Doombar). The selection of drinks, champagnes, wines and spirits is incredible! Steak night is extremely popular on a wednesday and thursday night and a bonus curry night on a friday. The menu is large and i understand they are looking at revamping their dedicated v...
