A review of a pub visit that didn't meet expectations. Despite a busy car park suggesting popularity, the reviewer found limited menu options and a disappointing burger with an unusual Marmite sauce.

I've always thought that a packed pub car park is as good a recommendation as any TripAdvisor review.

My daughter was - as always - delighted when I told her we were going to 'go out' for tea and with it being a Sunday she was chattering away about whether or not she would have a roast dinner as I parked up the car.So you can imagine our disappointment when, as we arrived at the Cross Keys for our pre-booked table, we were told that "there's no Sunday roasts left". But, the barman added, "there's plenty of other things to choose from".

I opted for the burger which the menu stated was served with gravy. I'm not averse to the idea of gravy to dip my chips into but I felt the need to clarify that it would be in a separate dish and not poured over my burger.I'm a lover, not a hater, and to me there are few more comforting snacks than a piece of toast smothered with butter and Marmite. But on a burger?

But the star of the show was my daughter's dessert - a 'build your own cheesecake sundae'. It was very reasonably priced at just £1.75 and was more than enough for both of us.
