Welcome to The Cross Keys – A Traditional English Pub in Pangbourne


Nestled in the heart of Pangbourne village, opposite the beautiful St James’ Church,
The Cross Keys is a charming 16th-century pub offering a warm welcome, hearty homemade food, and classic English hospitality.
Under new management since April 2025, the pub has quickly become a favourite destination for locals and visitors alike.

Step inside and experience our traditional atmosphere, complete with low oak beams, a cosy bar area, and a friendly village feel that makes The Cross Keys the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Our talented kitchen team proudly serves a homemade menu of classic British pub dishes, all prepared with locally sourced ingredients. From our signature fish and chips to juicy burgers and comforting Sunday roasts, every meal celebrates quality and tradition.

Enjoy a drink or meal in our beautiful riverside beer garden, overlooking the tranquil River Pang – said to have inspired Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows.
Whether you’re joining us for lunch, dinner, or just a relaxing pint, the riverside terrace offers the perfect spot to soak up the scenery.

At The Cross Keys, everyone is welcome – including your four-legged friends, who can join you both inside and in the garden.

Join us at The Cross Keys, Pangbourne – where great food, friendly faces, and timeless English charm come together by the river.
