The Garden

The Cross Keys sits at the heart of Thame’s community, a proper neighbourhood pub where locals and visitors alike settle in for the long haul — one customer moved here after their first visit in 2012 and hasn’t looked back in thirteen years. Whether you’re drawn by the changing real ales, the crackling fire in winter, or simply the sound of genuine conversation filling the low-beamed rooms, this is a place that feels unhurried and welcoming, the sort of pub where staff know what matters and the bar snacks pair perfectly with whatever’s on tap. Pete and Trudy’s stewardship has created something worth celebrating, from seasonal events to the annual beer festival, giving the pub a rhythm that ties it to local life rather than passing trade. It’s the kind of place you’d recommend to a friend without hesitation — unpretentious, well-kept, and animated by the sort of hospitality that makes a village pub indispensable.
