Ancrum Cross Keys

Lovely friendly pub with fantastic food. We had Sunday lunch turkey with all the trimmings, all gluten free for me with even gluten free Yorkshire puds. Over half the menu was gluten free. Perfectly cooked veg of parsnips, red cabbage, broccoli, yum. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff. A choice of cosy rooms to sit in, nice wooden decor.

We had an excellent Boxing Day dinner at Ancrum Cross Keys. I started with the carrot, parsnip, and ginger soup, followed by the Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto—both were delicious. Others in the party enjoyed dishes like Turkey with chestnut, thyme, and cranberry stuffing, served with roast potatoes, veggies, and rich turkey gravy. Also, an 8oz Sirloin with chips, roasted tomato, mushrooms, onion rings, and peppercorn sauce, along with a Lamb and Root Veg Casserole with creamy mash and a rosemary and sea salt scone. The restaurant is dog-friendly, offers plenty of gluten-free options, has a wonderful staff, and serves generous portions. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!
