A welcome change of landlord a few weeks back looks set to revitalize this great traditional pub. The cellar manager takes pride in keeping that live beast real ale in tip-top condition. The best pint and the best company in the village is to be found here in the Cross Keys. A quality range of pub grub also awaits you; try the hand-cut real chips. A rare gem of a pub. pedantnic - 30 May 2011 01:46 |
| A busy pub which was worth a visit, and it had a good selection of Fullers beers, although no seasonals. The beer was good but 2 pints ESB & a London Pride cost (damn my round!) £10.30. The White Swan, Wendover was visited later & it's £9.06 for 3 pints ESB. Booze_Allen - 8 Jan 2011 14:57 |
| Visited this pub tonight with a pal for a quick pint of cider or beer. We put our car in the pub car park and were on our way into the pub when I decided to show my friend something in the shop window (7 metres away) that might be a good present for the misses for xmas. The Landlord came belting out of the pub, "HEY, YOU CAN'T BLOODY PARK THERE, FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY" I told the landlord that we had actually taken the drive down into the village to expressly visit his establishment, like my friend and I had done every 3 - 4 weeks for the past 15 months or so. But he was not having it. By this time he was screaming, and I kid you not actually frothing at the mouth by now. Now he insists he doesn't now want us in his pub at all, just take our car and clear off. I cannot believe the behaviour of the landlord. It isn't as if I am a stranger in the locality, having lived within a thousand yards of the pub for over a dozen years. I tried everything to placate him, but he was having none of it, practically threw us off the premises - so we went down to the George, at the other end of the village for a couple of great pints of cider. This new landlord is rude, and clearly no gentleman, thinking the best way to treat customers is to throw them of the premises just because they are going to look in a shop window on the way to his front door! My wife and her friends no longer visit this awful pub, now I know why. Even though ultra-expensive I still sank its praises to local RREC and BDC club members as a place to meet up, and I have done this at least a dozen times in the past 15 months. I am now warning all club members that the change in landlord is a change for the worse, and to stay well clear. What a dive! The_Silver_Wraith - 7 Dec 2010 22:18 |
| Visited on a Saturday evening - not closed as per previous review. Very small pub, no tables available to just sit with a drink and no room at the bar, so we sat outside a bit chilly until the bar staff put on the heaters under the sunshade. Fortunately no smokers in our immediate vacinity. Looks like a proper little pub, well supported, they make the most of the small patio with some lovely flower baskets. Mind your head on the low door at the rear of the pub! davidfthorn - 21 Sep 2010 09:37 |
This pub (?) now shuts on some Saturday nights for private functions. Thus its core regular customers are alienated and must seek alternative venues for their social interaction. Therefore the 'pub' may lose its regular income - they may find a better venue and not return! Someone is not doing joined up thinking - no wonder pubs are closing daily with this sort of 'management'! Not wishing to be negative - the beer is excellently kept and the best company in Great Missenden still drink there. The locals will give you a warm welcome, enjoy! pedantnic - 3 Nov 2009 21:44 |
