About
The Cross Keys, located on Saunders Road in the village of Hamsterley (Esh), is the only pub in the historic village of Esh and has stood there since the 14th century. Celebrated by the Good Pub Guide as a pleasant establishment, it offers a full menu, friendly service, and a setting that combines traditional British pub warmth with striking views across the valley. The building’s timber‑framed, thatched roof and original stonework give patrons a tangible sense of the area’s heritage. Whether you’re seeking a relaxed breakfast, a hearty lunch, or a cosy drink in the evening, The Cross Keys provides a quintessential village‑pub experience that showcases local cuisine, free Wi‑Fi, and a welcoming atmosphere.
