The Cross Keys, St Albans

After the refurb the pub looks much better. over 80% of the pub is non smoking until 6pm (sofa area included, which 'SCREAMING BRATS' are not allowed in) and still well over half non smoking after then. 10 excellent ales on at the moment, all in good condition. The newish plamsas although there only have sound on big football game nights. coffee is absolutely lovely, and the staff have put a lot of effort into making them. although normally short staffed, staff are friendly and can be helpful. one of the opening duty managers, ben is very good at his job and works extremely hard when left on his own. food has vastly improved and all the staff have greatly improved at there job. James is a fantastic manager.
