Been here a couple of times lately for food and drinks, and the food, service and value is excellent. Staff are so friendly, particularly Tom who went out of his way to look after us. Will soon become a regular food spot. Bogof burgers on a Thursday too!

For basic food at cheap costs the meals are tasty and the waitress Tessy is very sufficient and very hard working.

The food was lovely. The service was really good. When we put our order in, some of the more popular items on the menu had run out, The lady who served us was very helpful and gave us plenty of time to re-order. I would highly recommend the southern cross

I hired the function room for a birthday party on Friday 6/9/24. The venue was perfect, wonderful layout and great location. Most importantly the staff were fantastic, very helpful from the initial inquiry to the night itself. Emily and Harry were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble, very friendly, helpful and also very professional, a credit to the Southern Cross. I would definitely recommend to others and would use it in the future.

Visited last night disappointed to say the least, went to order food. The barman saw me walking up and when I got to the bar he walked off. Rude at best, got served by his colleague ordered food then waited best part of 40 mins for food to arrive. Asked where my food was and then waited another 10 mins before anyone addressed where it was. Guessing it was the manager who came over and explained what had happened (kitchen didn’t get the check) got a refund and a round of drinks all well and good but the team needs to make sure the guest is priority poor service also the toilets are disgusting

A Stellar Experience at The Southern Cross During a recent family outing consisting of seven adults, we had the pleasure of dining at The Southern Cross. Our experience was nothing short of remarkable, earning a solid five-star rating for both service and food quality. Here's why our visit to The Southern Cross was so memorable. **Ambiance and Setting** Upon entering The Southern Cross, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor struck a perfect balance between elegance and comfort, setting the stage for a relaxed dining experience. The staff welcomed us with open arms, making us feel at home from the moment we stepped inside. **Culinary Excellence** The menu at The Southern Cross showcased an impressive variety of dishes, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences. Each meal was prepared with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a symphony of flavors that delighted our palates. Out of the seven meals ordered, six were flawlessly executed, meeting and exceeding our expectations. The dishes were not only visually appealing but also packed with taste, demonstrating the kitchen's commitment to quality and culinary mastery. **Exceptional Service** A noteworthy highlight of our experience was the restaurant's exceptional customer service. Despite the majority of our orders being perfect, one steak did not initially meet our group member's preference. Without hesitation, the staff addressed the issue with remarkable professionalism and kindness. They offered to prepare a brand new meal, ensuring it was cooked exactly to our liking. This gesture, although not required, underscored The Southern Cross's dedication to customer satisfaction. The staff's willingness to go above and beyond not only resolved the minor hiccup but also significantly enhanced our overall dining experience. It's rare to encounter a level of service that genuinely prioritises the happiness and satisfaction of its customers to such an extent. **Conclusion** In conclusion, The Southern Cross stands out as a prime example of how quality food and exceptional service can create an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant's effort to rectify a minor issue with one of the meals was a testament to their commitment to excellence. We left The Southern Cross not only satisfied with the culinary delights but also deeply impressed by the staff's dedication to ensuring every guest's needs are met. Whether you're looking for a venue for a family meal or a special occasion, The Southern Cross guarantees an experience that combines the best of both worlds: five-star service and five-star food. Our visit was a clear reminder that true hospitality lies in the details and the willingness to go the extra mile for every guest.

Had a meal last night, food was pretty good as usual but facilities are really awful. No central heating the whole place was freezing and everyone sat with their coats on. Gents toilet was out of order so had to use the accessible one. Table tops very dirty and greasy. Inside of windows dirty and stained. Never used to be like this, might be a long time before we go again.

For me it was awful. It was Friday night very busy some extremely loud screeching head banging music hurt my ears drone if voices mingling under the music made it hard to like. But we had little choice in getting table so we're directly under speakers. Table was a mess lot of pots etc. Looking round I saw older age groups prob mid 40s and upwards.choice of Music seemed so out of place. I'm old but young in the head I love a lot of today's dance sounds. It makes me feel alive and young again. So not against loud dance music.. This night I got a bad headache from it. We changed to a small table in corner over near window felt very hemmed in. Too close to the next one. And still very messy. We had tidied each table. Menu was one of confusion. I so get put off. Prices were very cheap so probably why it was full with today's increases across the restaurants. Wasn't happy with any of it. Got the chicken skewer that had 2 chicken sides had to pick another so chicken nuggets little jug of Jack Daniels sauce. For dipping. And chips but a very small amount even for me. So a man wouldn't be full getting this order lol. They were OK. Meals brought by staff members can't complain they were very nice and helpful. It must be hard on them. But yes had a smile. Coffee was a nice latte.

This pub is getting ran into the ground. It needs a good scrub and definitely a lick of paint everywhere. The toilets are disgusting. There are doors that need new locks and there's been broken toilet seat behind one of the toilets forever indicating to me the toilets dont get cleaned properly. The men's according to my husband are just as bad. I live in Marton and used to go in a lot more regularly. My husband and his mates used to go in every other Thursday but now look elsewhere as judging by the taste of the pints, the lines simply can not be getting cleaned regularly l. Yes the staff are nice but why isn't simple maintenance being done. Carpets need cleaning as the place is starting to smell. My friends where in for food last night and can't believe how much this pub has gone down the swanny from their last visit. Your disappointing the locals people.
