The Cross Keys Inn
Our bar is traditional with slate floors and lots of wood, but still has a bright and spacious feel. We stock a wide range of real ales, ciders and lagers and a host of spirits, liquers & soft drinks. We specialise in local ales and locally produced craft spirits. Our light and airy dining area, with our newly added slate floor, can normally seat around 40 people.

If you are eating outdoors at anytime or indoors at lunchtime please be aware that your food will be served in disposable packaging. The Smugglers Rest is an attractive 2 bedroom apartment that has its own semi private entrance at the rear of the Inn. Bedroom one is a versatile twin room, and Bedroom two is a large double at the top of the property with sea views from its porthole window.
Services
The Cross Keys is a traditional Inn, in the heart of Cawsand Square just seconds from the beach. We are ideally located for those seeking comfortable, happy and relaxing surroundings at any time of the year. Positioned on The Square in the picturesque old fishing village of Cawsand and just 25 metres from the beach, the Cross Keys is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.
Because we are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Cawsand and the Square is a restricted parking area. You may only park temporarily to drop off luggage etc. The main Cawsand car park is only a 2 minute walk from the Cross Keys and is situated at the top of the hill before you drop down towards the Square.

We have ordered only two soups, first get the wrong order, and then waited for another hour to get what we wanted. So, two artificial soups, £10, an hour and a half.

Absolutely lovely pub, lovely food and excellent service. Much more affordable and quaint than other places nearby, and as I have personally heard many people around the area say, the cross keys has the best chips arounds. Definitely recommend

Sat outside and the service was quick and the food tasted great. If you want a snack or lunch then I recommend the nachos. Very reasonably priced. Perfect if you've got the ferry over from Plymouth

Very friendly service and welcoming staff. A beautiful pub with lots of character. Our children were made very welcome too. A small menu currently (understandably) and portions are a little in the small side.

The delightful twin village of Cawsand and Kingsand has long been an ideal family holiday destination with it's quaint narrow streets, old architecture, little coves, local attractions and much more besides.
And at the heart of Cawsand in the village Square is the Cross Keys Inn, my personal favourite place to eat and drink locally.
It's an old established character Inn just one minute off the beach and the landing point for the Cawsand to Plymouth Barbican (foot) ferry service.
The pub management has taken on board the stringent government rules and regulations during the long coronavirus period

Booked a table in the window in the actual pub part of the pub (more atmosphere and on our own away from others). Arrived tonight to be told the lady had forgot, so we were shown to a table in a basic dining room where we would've been sat with chairs touching back-to-back with other diners. I know the law is now no masks, but every other pub seems to ask people to wear masks until seated and bar staff wear them. This pub had nothing. Disappointing as drove quite a long way for a meal and ended up not eating there.

Good pub. A short row and walk if you're visiting cawsands by boat. Wanted a simple pint and chips, £13 for two pints and two portions of chips! Bangin. Decent portion too, none of these tiny cups of chips for £8 you get. Staff pretty friendly, despite dealing with covid regs and people. Dunno how they do it. There was lovely doggos in there too. Good simple pub. Would recommend

Looks like the kind of pub I would have enjoyed spending an evening in, but the atmosphere was a little muted by social distancing. Still, the barman/waiter was cheerful and welcoming and doing well under the circumstances, so five stars for effort 👍
