Junior Sous Chef

About Us

We are The Cross Keys, a family owned independent Freehouse, nestled in the quaint North Wales village of Llanfynydd, 6 miles from Wrexham.

Our aim is simple. We want to do simple things well, with quality and attention to detail in all we do and provide a happy, warm and welcoming country pub, set in the heart of the community, serving quality food, beers, wine and drink.

We want to be a place where customers can feel relaxed, in quality surroundings, whether that be a special occasion, a family gathering, a pint or a glass after work, a pit stop on one of our circular pub walk or cycle routes or simply a quiet pint of glass of wine sat at the bar, with your dog and a newspaper.
