The Cross Keys is located north of the city of Worcester, just off the A449 dual carriageway that leads to the town of Kidderminster. The Cross Keys was first recorded as an ale house in 1830. Since this time, it has seen many changes but essentially has retained plenty of its original charm and character. With a front room bar area and a 2-room restaurant with an extension conservatory, this quaint pub would suit a new food operator or an experienced operator alike. The pub is one of 3 in the village of Ombersley, an affluent village on the outskirts of Worcester.
Upon entering the pub, you are greeted by the lounge bar, which contains a mixture of fixed and loose seating, and is decorated traditionally. The pretty, wooden panelled central bar servery is accessible from both the lounge and restaurant, and hosts cask ales and a variety of international brands. A lovely feature is a fireplace which complements the wooden ceiling beams, creating a cosy atmosphere. The dining room is also traditional in style, catering for around 40 covers along with a conservatory-style restaurant, which is bright and airy. These lovely spaces are served by a well-equipped catering kitchen at the rear of the pub. This has a full cook line and space for wash-up, a preparation area and the pass.
There is an external drinking/ seating area at the rear of the property that is a sun trap in the summer months.
Private Accommodation
The private quarters comprise three differently sized bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and lounge area. It is a good size for a small family.
