Cross Keys Arnold

Ah, the Cross Keys in Arnold – it's one of those pubs that really captures the heart of British hospitality, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, it's a solid spot for grabbing a pint and some tasty grub without spending a fortune. The food stands out, especially those chicken wings that folks rave about – not dry at all, just proper juicy and full of flavour. And if you're into a bit of live music or catching the game, they've got that covered too, with a lively crowd that can make for a brilliant Saturday afternoon. The beer garden's a nice touch for sunnier days, and events like bingo bring in a cheerful bunch. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses; I've heard tales of staff being a tad short or rude, which can really sour the experience if you're on the receiving end. Then there's the issue with kids causing a ruckus, which might not sit well if you're after a quiet chat over your drink. Prices can sneak up on you as well, so keep that in mind before ordering rounds. Overall, it's worth a visit if you're in Nottingham, but go in with your eyes open – it's got that classic pub charm with a few quirks that keep it real.
