The Cross Keys is a charming Chef & Brewer country pub in the village of Slyne, just outside Lancaster. The medium-sized terrace faces south-east (150°), catching the sun from the morning through early afternoon — roughly 8am to 2pm. It's best for a sunny lunch rather than evening drinks, and the parasol-shaded tables make midday heat comfortable. Set in the countryside with a proper village pub atmosphere.
The Cross Keys has a south-east-facing terrace (150°), which means it typically catches the best sun late morning through the afternoon. The medium outdoor space is open, making it at its best in settled weather.

The Cross Keys is well placed if you're already around Hest Bank's coastal stretch along the Lancaster Canal and the bay shore. It can work well as part of a wider afternoon or evening out in Hest Bank.
