Cross Keys Hotel

Located on Market Street in Pocklington, The Cross Keys is a traditional, well‑loved pub with deep roots in the town’s heritage. Its name reflects its historical connection to the Manor of the Dean of York, since the crossed keys are the symbol of York Minster. The pub was long part of the Dean’s estate, and older directories show landlords and caretakers dating back through the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Inside, The Cross Keys exudes charm with its open fire and classic pub décor. Patrons often speak of its warmth during colder months; the glowing hearth provides a cosy focal point and adds to the character that makes it more than just a place to have a drink — it feels like a home away from home

For sports lovers, The Cross Keys delivers: there are sports TV screens showing major live events (Premier League, European matches etc.), making it a favourite spot to watch matches. The pub’s schedule and facilities cater well to watching live sports amid a sociable atmosphere.

As part of the tenancy at The Cross Keys, you'll enjoy access to comfortable and well-presented private living accommodation, ideal for individuals, couples or families looking to immerse themselves in both business and community life.
