Everyone loves a success story!

Five years ago to the day, Carol and Mark moved to Chatteris and four years ago was their wedding day; so something of substance to celebrate.

Today was the first time they had stepped inside The Cross Keys and curiosity led to an interesting conversation. They have been busy renovating their home with every spare moment of time: but, today was time to venture out to the venue of their choice and a Sunday Roast.

The most incredible bit of their story was what drew them to settle in Chatteris…

The Christmas Lights.

Nothing more, nothing less. A close second was the community spirit. Mark has already helped out on a couple of occasions with the Chatteris Christmas Lights group.

There’s a clear message here: Welcome to Chatteris!

Chatteris is an amazing place to live, and the quiet elegance emanates from the people.

If you would like to get involved in any community endeavour, please get in touch. We can introduce you to the right person or point you in the right direction.

Happy anniversary to Carol and Mark!

See you soon.

“Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force: You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944! The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle.

We will accept nothing less than full victory!

Good luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.”

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander, 6 June 1944.

D-Day 82 years to the day.

THE CROSS KEYS OFFICIAL SUNDAY ROAST TOP 20 PLAYLIST

We listened to the delightful cheer from our customers at our choice of music and came up with what we think is something truly monumental.

We created a playlist, a soundtrack. Not just any soundtrack, but the definitive, mathematically proven, and highly delicious Sunday Roast Top 20 Playlist while you sit back and enjoy a truly monumental gathering over a Cross Keys Sunday Roast.

Whether you are a champion of the crispy spud, a gravy boat captain, or a defender of the humble Brussels sprout, we have curated the ultimate track list for your Sunday afternoon dining experience.

Get your knives and forks ready. Here is the countdown:

20. Meat Again – The Bee Gees (For when you go back for seconds)
19. Total Eclipse of the Tart – Bonnie Tyler (Dedicated entirely to the dessert menu)
18. Don’t Go Breaking My Veg – Elton John & Kiki Dee (Keep those carrots coming)
17. Pour Some Gravy On Me – Def Leppard (In the name of love, smother it)
16. Bohemian Roast-ody – Queen (Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy... or is that a giant Yorkshire pudding?)
15. Sweet Child O’ Wine – Guns N’ Roses (The perfect Sunday afternoon accompaniment)
14. Meat Me Halfway – The Black Eyed Peas (When you’re sharing the last slice of beef)
13. Every Breath You Take, Every Spud You Bake – The Police (We’ll be watching you eye up that last roast potato)
12. Wake Me Up Before You Cocoa – Wham! (For the post-roast food coma)
11. Living on a Plate – Bon Jovi (Whoaaah, we’re halfway there…)
And now, the Top 10…

10. I Want to Know What Lunch Is – Foreigner (I want you to show me)
9. Another One Bites the Crust – Queen (Dedicated to the perfectly crisp crackling)
8. Smells Like Bean Spirit – Nirvana (For the green vegetable contingent)
7. Gravy Train – The O'Jays (Next stop: your plate)
6. Suspicious Minds (About the Last Roastie) – Elvis Presley (We can't go on together with suspicious minds...)
5. Peas Loving – Elvis Presley (A double-dose of The King for the side dishes)
4. Livin’ La Vida Loca-ville – Ricky Martin (Because all our ingredients are locally sourced, of course)
3. Yorkshire Pudding (Everything I Do, I Do It For You) – Bryan Adams (The true hero of the plate)
2. Stairway to Heaven – Led Zeppelin (Which is exactly where you go after the first bite of our beef)
And the Number 1 Sunday Roast Anthem of all time…
1. I Will Always Love Food – Whitney Houston (And IiiiiiiiiieeeeeeI will always love yoooouuuu, Sunday Roast...)

The Cross Keys Teams’ Verdict:

Music is great, but it tastes better when someone else does the washing up. David, Becky and the rest of the Team have the ovens preheated, the gravy simmering, and the pints perfectly poured.

Spaces fill up faster than a food coma sets in. Drop us a message or call the hotel directly to book your table for this Sunday.

Let us know in the comments: What track did we cruelly leave off the playlist?

Note: Not mathematically proven. Just highly passionate opinion.

What an incredibly moving review to receive and one that reminds us all that hospitality is about far more than simply serving food and drink.

To know that The Cross Keys could offer a little comfort, warmth and kindness during such an emotional family visit means the world to us. We are absolutely delighted that our team helped make lunches with you so memorable (and we’re especially pleased the curried parsnip soup earned a mention!).

But it was this story about the willow dinner plates that truly touched all of us. Sometimes the smallest gestures carry the greatest meaning, and we are so pleased we could help the family member replace a few treasured pieces connected to such precious family memories.

Pubs, Restaurants and Hotels like ours have always been places where conversations are shared, stories are told and communities quietly look after one another and these beautiful words perfectly capture that spirit.

We can only thank you for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review and for allowing us to play a small part in your family’s journey. We look forward to welcoming you all back to The Cross Keys very soon for more lunches, more chats and, of course, another bowl of soup waiting at the ready.

With sincere thanks,
From all of us at The Cross Keys Hotel, Chatteris
