The Cross Keys

Really picturesque pub (the garden looks lovely, but it was a dreary day in January when I went). Dog friendly. Wide range of beers and lagers. Unfortunately, the chef had just changed and the food offering was somewhat confusing (the chef had only started that day and there was no menu). I shall definitely go back.

We visited The Cross Keys to see Caitlin Krisko and The Broadcast. We had fish and chips which was absolutely lovely then headed upstairs for Leeds Blues Club. Caitlin and her band were just amazing as always and the hospitality we received we fantastic. Thank you to The Cross Keys, Leeds blues club and Caitlin and her band for an amazing night!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Sunday Roast in Leeds — Absolutely Unmissable! If you’re hunting for the best Sunday roast in Leeds, this place is the clear winner — the kind of roast that could make anyone beg for more. Everything arrives fresh with a beautiful crunch, from the perfectly roasted veggies to the golden potatoes that crackle under your fork. The meats are the real show-stoppers. The rare beef is cooked perfectly — tender, juicy, and full of flavour in every slice. The pork comes with proper crackling, the kind that shatters beautifully and adds that perfect salty crunch. Brussels with chestnuts and bacon to die for. The Yorkshire puddings are next level too: fluffy inside with that perfectly crispy outer edge you dream about all week. And then there’s the setting. You step inside and instantly get that amazing old-pub feel — worn beams, cosy corners, and roaring coal fires that warm the whole room and make you want to stay for hours. The gravy ties everything together: rich, silky, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite feels like comfort crafted with care — hearty, homely, and honest. If Sundays mean good food, warm vibes, and a roast worth travelling for, this is the spot. Hands down the best Sunday roast in Leeds.

We came last night for the valentines menu and it did not disappoint, the upstairs was done out really nice and cosy, the food was incredible, each course was cooked to perfection and tasted unbelievable you could tell the ingredients used was great quality and that a lot of time, effort and attention went into each dish, it was fine dining at its best! Definitely be back!

OK so first and foremost Cross Keys is just a great pub. Proper pub vibes. Nice and cosy in the Winter, beer garden in the Summer. Fantastic range of drinks. Well worth at least a pint starting out here from the train station if you're going for a sesh in town or coming here for food and a few hours. The service is fantastic and exactly what a pub should be. Good people looking to take care of you. We booked the function room for a very lowkey party and the service team were just fantastically helpful, communicative. The room is a fantastic size, versatile with tables and separate music, has its own bar, toilets are upstairs too. Really can't speak highly enough of it. Great pub and a team getting it absolutely right.
