Cross Keys, Wallingford

Reopened on 13 May 2022 having closed temporarily on 22 April 2022 while there was a change of ownership from the Brakspear pub co to Oak Taverns. There was a refurbishment inside and outside.

17th-century pub in a Grade II-listed building retaining many original features such as exposed low beams, large fireplaces and internal cellar. The large, fenced garden sits on probable Saxon-age town ramparts.

The house beer (Cross Keys - Keys Amber) may be swapped with another local beer.

Update (21 December 2023): street trading licences were granted by the South Oxfordshire District Council Street Trading Panel on 4 December 2023, but planning permission now needs to be applied for; until this is granted the street food offering will continue with a 10p donation to charity. As of Wednesday 23 August 2023 the street food offering has been temporarily reinstated (check the Facebook page for details of hours) with a 10p donation to charity pending formal reinstatement. As of 4 August 2023 the street food offering had been suspended until further notice on the advice of the South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse Licensing Partnership. The suspension would continue until the permit(s) required for street trading to take place legally at this site were granted. Formerly "Pop-up food stalls are present at the rear of the pub from Wednesdays to Sundays, the operators offer varying food choices."

Has wheelchair access into the pub and the pop-up food area but there are no disabled toilet facilities.
