Cross House Inn in South Gloucestershire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had a meal here with my parents to celebrate their diamond anniversary. The service was excellent, as was the food, the drink and the ambience. Thank you.

Lovely place for lunch, slightly limited menu and only main meals available at lunchtime. Very pleasant in the conservatory and had a lovely garden to eat/drink in to.

Delicious food and excellent service

Great staff great food and excellent location

Family buffet following our wedding ceremony locally, fabulous service making us feel really special, everyone loved it. Thank you Rebecca and the Cross House team

Great pub not been here for years but I will be back

Really nice pub with a beautiful garden

First visit. Will not be our last. Cannot fault food /service/ atmosphere. A well designed pub/restaurant which is so comfortable to customers. Great to see locals supporting which added to the friendly atmosphere. Dave & Suzette. 6/6/24

The pub has been refurbished to a high standard with an oak framed dining room at the back, giving an idyllic view of Doynton church. Their CRM system is amazing if after having booked there once, they will have your name recorded against your telephone number. The food is copious and well executed. Had a wonderful ham hock terrine with home made piccalilly which was divine. The chips are served skin on, the fish in thin battered and then rolled in flour before cooking. Could have had more seasoning. Fish was prime haddock. Great ale choice and a comprehensive choice of wines. The service is excellent bar one slip no sugar with coffee. Quickly remedied. The coffee is top notch on a par with Italian standards which is very rare in the UK. Congratulations!

Beautifully modernised village pub. Stunning oak framed dining area. Superb food - great veggie options. Clearly an imaginative chef but not over fancy. Rates in top two of places to eat in Bristol area. Well worth the trip for lunch and a pretty walk.

Really yummy food. We had a sirloin and a flat iron steak. With focaccia to share as a starter. Some reviews have mentioned small portions sizes but that certainly wasn’t the case with us. They were just right. Service was timely and friendly. The atmosphere and view out the back were great. About the only negative was that one of the steaks was rare rather than medium rare as asked for, but that wasn’t a problem for us.

Glorious pub. Delicious food made with real attention to detail and care but never strays into being pretentious or earnest. Relaxed and excellent service. Lovely interior. Pulls off that trick of making it all seem effortless and natural although anyone who's tried will know the hard work and skill that goes into that! Reccomended.

Great food, and atmosphere for a chill but elegant dinner time. 10/10 recommend if you are in Cotswold and want to have some great food

The Cross House is a great place to eat and hang out with friends. All the staff are very professional and welcoming. The food is amazing. Recommend booking a table as it’s a very popular place.

Excellent food, expensive but worth every penny. Keep up the good work.

Everything was perfect, thank you to all the staff from the chef for the delicious meal and to the brilliant and friendly service from the waitresses, you helped make the day extra special.

Found menu a little restricted as I don't like fish! Nicely decorated but a bit chilly. Enjoyed lunch and would return

Very welcoming and reasonably priced.

Fantastic food, went for Sunday lunch with my daughter. Best food I have ever tasted, well presented, lovely staff, could not do enough for us, did not need to ask for more water, they kept topping it up. Can’t wait to go again, I would recommend to everyone.

Popped in for a pot of tea on a Saturday lunchtime part way through a 10 mile walk. Excellent service from the staff. Menu looked really good, interesting dishes, as did the food that passed me. Clearly a popular place to eat. There was plenty of room in the bar area. Music was quiet and unobtrusive. Definitely would return and maybe for food in the future. There is a large car park to the side of the pub with views of the village church.

Fantastic and professional staff. Gorgeous food and a nice bubbling atmosphere. Would come back again if I lived near by.

Just grabbed a pint. Gorgeous pub in an enchanting village. Menu looked good

Didn't know but it was open, mike night. Fantastic food & wonderful atmosphere 👌

Lovely meal, great staff. This place has been transformed . You will have to book well in advance to get a table in the new extension. We will definitely be back.

Great food at reasonable prices.

Second time visiting, really cracking food reasonably priced for the high standard, good wines and cocktails. Friendly, relaxed but attentive service. Would absolutely recommend and will be back time after time ourselves.

Delicious food which is reasonably priced for the super high quality, delightful service, and in a very pretty village

Lovely place to stop and have a quiet drink

Excellent food and great service. Can get very noisy in the bar area such that it's advisable to book after 7.30, by which time the noisy drinkers have gone home for dinner. They seem to shout over each other. The barn at the back is far quieter and a lovely, contemporary oak construction.

Foods really good, I personally like places that are more cozy ,, turn down the lights a bit and light some smaller lights and it would feel more comfortable,, Slightly pricier than some places , but very good quality food and decent portion sizes

Dropped in for a cheeky pint on a wet Sunday cycle ride. Very friendly staff, roaring wood stove to dry us out and a decent choice of beers. Overall, very nice. We didn't eat but food looked nice and judging by how busy it was on a Sunday lunchtime, I'd say it was as good as it looked.

Went for lunch Saturday with a friend excellent food lovely building and atmosphere

Great village pub for food or just a drink

We had a Saturday lunch in winter as a group of four. We were impressed with the quality of the food and the staff were very accommodating with our small dog. Although a little highly priced, I would say that it's worth it.

Very good hope to book again soon.

This place is consistently fantastic. We’d booked through OpenTable on Christmas Eve, unfortunately OpenTable had allowed us to book a time they weren’t actually serving, this was a bit disappointing but the staff handled it really well, we were offered the first table when they opened for dinner, a great table and bit of a discount - honestly hats off to the staff they really turned things around. The service is always great, really friendly and happy smiley staff. Fantastic drinks with good variety, but the food is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I have been here over 10 times and I have never had a bad meal at all. This place deserves the full 5* rating!

Top service and the meals were all lovely. Not had a fish and chips for a while that tasted so good, the batter was just spot on. Definitely will go back again while currently staying around here. Great staff too.

Amazing food and service. Lovely building as well

Absolutely perfect, lovely friendly staff , lovely atmosphere, beautiful interior very earthy and rustic dining, amazing 5star food, sorry I dont take pics at the table but I wish I had now to share with you all.

Great pub, with really nice service and good good.

Beautiful food, lovely service.

Recommended by a friend of ours. Incredible food, setting and service.

Lovely village pub with excellent food. Dog friendly in the bar too!

Met up with the family, delicious food

Really nice lunch. Food excellent. Accommodating the needs of older relatives. Will visit again.👌

We visited The Cross House for a family birthday. The food was very good and the waiting staff were attentive and friendly. We definitely recommend this gem of a country pub

All aspects of the evening were excellent, 'fine dining' perfectly describes my experience. All of the group with me felt the same too!

Amazing food, plenty of parking, good front and back garden with a nice canopy. Friendly staff, kept the beers flowing for our table. Cheers this was our 2nd visit..ps the pate was the tastiest and smoothest I've ever had

Brilliant roast and plenty of it

Lovely meal food was delicious and staff very attentive and friendly

Food absolutely lovely, can't fault that, but why the service charge, and not give you the chance to tip by choice ?... This is added on the bill but optional, I know that, and is in the small print along with allergy info. I would have left the same tip anyway. But 10% on the drinks, when we sat in the bar, and when the place is actually a pub. That's 45p on every pint and 64p on a glass of wine, for a total of about five steps from the bar to the table. But what grates me is the first round I ordered at the bar and carried it to the table myself, but was still charged for my own service. This spoilt the night and I wouldn't go there again just out of principle. So I recommend when you want a drink, go to the bar and pay there.

Didn't eat, but had the best coffee I've had from a pub in a good while. Helpful, friendly staff too.

Excellent service and great food, definitely worth a visit. A little noisy in the bar area, will have to book the restaurant next time.

I had the pate and burger, both were amazing. Really happy with the service and food

Fabulous pub, amazing food, but book ahead as its very popular. Highly recommended as an event space aswell.

Great Sunday lunch, beautiful Environment and great service. The selection of mini puddings is delicious and a great idea. Highly recommended

Gorgeous views, terrific food. Love it here!

Everything was perfect. Amazing food, great service and lovely surroundings. 100% Recommended.

This was our second lunchtime visit. The food was really excellent and the staff were very attentive. We will visit again.

Our Airbnb host described this as a 'hidden gem'. She was absolutely spot on. Superb food, good beers and wines, excellent service and a great setting made this our go to venue during our stay. Suggest you book early for weekend meals.

Amazing food and lovely selection of drinks.

Thank you all for a very enjoyable lunch, the food was excellent and so were the staff. We will be back soon

Third visit and it was fabulous.

Second visit but this time had food. What a way to spend a Tuesday evening, service, food and atmosphere exceptional. Thank you all for making our evening special.

Passing by while travelling to Wales and stumbled across the village of Doynton. With the Cross House at the heart of it with what seems a somewhat ££££ refurb not too long ago with no detail spared, we were happy to find this spot! Camembert to begin which was devine, bearing in mind a few pints deep at this point, wolfed it down without breathing it feels! With the Flat Iron steak and Burger to follow. The Burger was up there with the better pub burgers I've had so can't loose there. The steak was also very tasty and cooked as requested, Medium - Rare. However did get a lil mouth workout chewing the thing, no complaints as was more the cut chosen over how it was cooked. All in all, a fantastic find and would recommend to anyone passing by or near the area.

Great pub with very friendly staff and good beer. Didn't eat this time but the food is very good too. They have done such a great job with the main dining room and outside areas overlooking the fields and church yard.

Nice but a little pricey and noisy.

Amazing food, great atmosphere - brilliant ales. Book early to get a table, you won't regret it!

We've been here several times. Need to book early for a Sunday lunch, which says it all. Going again in a couple of weeks. If you're disabled and can't do stairs, you need to book a table in the bar area. Love it!

Excellent food again, clean plates all round.

Better than most restaurants food amazing.

Lush place, Sunday lunch was really good

Great pub. Great food and drink. Nice and very caring staff.

Amazing food. Staff were all really great.

Me and my wife have been here a few times and there is nothing bad you can say about the place, food amazing, setting amazing, service amazing would go as far as saying its the nicest place I have ever eaten.

The food is sublime every time! The service is so professional, while making you feel that nothing is too much trouble, and at ease. Our go to place now

Fab food and ambience. Roaring fires in winter and lovely garden with views in summer. We go here for special occasions and love it. Most recently, we sampled the roast beef Sunday lunch. The beef was tasty and rare, as ordered and the accompanying veg and Yorkshire puddings were excellent. Nice wine list too with knowledgeable staff to explain its suppliers.

Fabulous pub in beautiful Doynton Village, staff very helpful nice atmosphere highly recommend

Great place. A little way out of Bristol but great place. We had a great meal.

In the areas around Bristol and Bath there are numerous very good eateries. There are several exceptional places to dine. With exception of the atmosphere being a little on the side of ‘freshly renovated and not yet aged gracefully’ we found The Cross House to be on that list of exceptional restaurants. On that list are the like of Lazy Lobster Chew Magna for seafood and the world class Pasture for steakhouse par excellence. The Cross House puts pub setting dining on a different level. Everything that passed our lips, including incredible selection of wines and beer, was truly mind blowingly great. This along with the others mentioned, stand out among the best we’ve experienced anywhere.

Great service, excellent menus, fabulous setting. Highly recommended

Fantastic pub, great team amazingly food, very reasonable with the pricing too!

Lovely village pub, with polite service. Great place to have a pint after an enjoyable day out hiking. Didn't have any food but it certainly looked good.

Lovely welcome from staff. Very good food. Not too expensive.

Great food .Great service lovely pub would go back highly recommend a visit .

Very good food and staff. Very very clean and very pretty village.

Booked the evening meal on line ticked box to note a wedding anniversary- nice touch on a booking system! Fantastic meal timely served with announcement "Happy Anniversary" from the waitress. Went on to order a dessert following a great sirloin steak and the desert came with a chocolate note written on the plate - Happy Anniversary!

Beautifully prepared and presented food. A great experience

Simply fabulous!! The food, service and value were outstanding. We cannot wait to go back.

Pleasant surroundings Nice feel of the countryside

Lovely place, great food, conservatory is an enjoyable place to have a meal!

Just had quite simply the best meal ever, why does tho place not have a Michelin star. The food was amazing the staff are wonderful 10 star place

Hidden gem! Lovely surroundings, great food. Only complaint was service charge being added even for 2 people. (Photo if leg of duck confit with peppercorn sauce, cavelo Nero and dauphinouse potatoes 😋)

So disappointed with such yesterday The meal was not to your usual standard . It was not hot!!!!! I have frequently eaten at The Cross House and always been delighted in the past. so much so that on many occasions have recommended you regards Jane Batt

Very nice place to visit,friendly staff and nice inside. As for lunch we thought the portion size was just right. Price was a little high which meant the food had to be faultless which although nice was only nice and not perhaps worth the premium. Needed less cheese on the burger as it hadn't completely melted. Worst of all the slaw was hot as left under the heater lamps no doubt. Flat iron steak was lovely as was the salad which came with it. Coffee machine was not working. Maybe try the Bull along the road in Hinton as better value for money.

Lovely, quality food served here

Parked outside pissin about with the satnav never went in..... But what I can say is its a pub so its going to be brilliant. Merry Christmas 🤶

A top, top roast dinner - the meat was perfect, service top notch and great location. Made what we thought were a lot of other nice roast dinners elsewhere feel very average. Would go back without hesitation. Thanks!!

Really cosy country pub, with excellent food. Lovely staff, who were very friendly towards our dog.

Cooking and presentation both excellent. Attentive service. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.
