Wetherspoon reopens The Cross Keys on April 19th
Tue 5th April 2016
Beverley’s long-anticipated Wetherspoon opens with local woman, Emma Badham at the helm.
Born in Beverley, Emma is currently Manager of the William Wilberforce in Hull; she has been waiting for the opportunity to move back to Beverley and is very excited to be able to put her own stamp onto this new Wetherspoon venture.
Emma told Just Beverley “My social life is geared up around Beverley – I even got engaged at a Beverley restaurant- which is why I am so keen to be back here!”
Wetherspoon has invested about £1m in the Cross Keys, which is listed, and the adjoining old Siam Star building. The Cross Keys will be invigorated with its range of drinks. It will feature 9 craft beer lines as well as around 30 different craft beers in bottles. There will be 12 hand pulls, 6 dedicated to local Yorkshire ales, with an attractive price point to encourage people to try them.
For gin fans, there will be a Gin Palace experience where different gins are served with fruits to complement the flavours and bring out the botanicals used to make them.
Wetherspoon are renown for offering a day-long food menu, starting with breakfast. But the Cross Keys restaurant will have a unique offering, in that it will be serving themed food over lunch and dinner times.
On Mondays the speciality will be Mexican, Tuesdays will be Steak, Chicken on Wednesdays, Curry on Thursdays, Fish on Fridays, As You Like It Saturdays and Lunch and Drinks on Sundays!
Wetherspoon’s charity of the year is CLIC Sargent. Emma has skipped across the Humber Bridge and worn fancy dress to raise cash for this leading children’s cancer charity.
Just Beverley looks forward to featuring the Cross Keys as Charity Champions in the future as Emma is sure to be motivating her staff and customers to get involved in fundraising as soon as she can!
The Cross Keys is located at 8 Lairgate, Beverley, HU17 8EE
