Local businesses are the lifeblood of the local community, The Cross Keys Sherborne is the hub of the community and therefore supporting each other builds sustainable business growth for our local community.

Sustainability is important to us here at The Cross Keys, Sherborne. The ingredients we source doesn’t travel miles and miles, it’s important to us that the distance from farm to fork (so to speak) is the shortest it can be, which lowers our carbon footprint. Supporting local farmers, and producers also ensures a level of quality and provides visitors with a unique flavour of the region. This applies to both our food and drink sourcing.

Join us in celebrating all things local. On your next visit ask us what’s new, what’s in season, we’ll be happy to help. See you soon
