The Golden Cross Pub in Cotswold

Stopped into Cirencester on our way home from a lovely weekend. We found this lovely gem in the high street and we were very impressed! Guy in the bar said they had 1 table left and we could have it for two hours, I had a beef roast which was incredible and my partner had the three meats. Would absolutely come back!

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend if you're in Cirencester!

The manager was so unbelievably rude. Booked a table for the Sunday and popped in on the Saturday to have a look at the menu. Asked to see a menu as none on display. Manager was just serving someone so said let me just do this and I’ll come back to you. Absolutely fair. Waited in the bar when another staff member came up to me to ask if I was ok. Said yes just looking for the Sunday menu. He said I’ll ask my colleague. I said no need he’s going to get it. He asked anyway and the managers response was (like I wasn’t even stood there). “I’ve already told her I’ll get it. Perhaps she could have some patience!!”. We walked out and safe to say didn’t come back for lunch the next day. Had a lovely lunch somewhere else with lovely polite and pleasant staff. Will never return.

Warm welcome from staff. Very good lager. Fish and chips were best I have had in a very long time, crispy thin batter and piping hot. Consistently good food 👍

Nice buzzy atmosphere on my lunchtime visit. The Arkell’s cask ale in very good nick and the bar lady friendly. Fab wee pub

Very nice friendly pub. Quite busy. Quite pricey but everwhere here is. Very nice food

Well I don’t really know where to begin never have I been so rudely treated by hospitality anywhere. Table was booked a whole month in advance for a large family of 9 and we specifically requested the stage table, one for space and two to help us stay contained. We were seated in the old skittle alley which was no issue and all was forgotten about. The Guinness! I don’t know what you have done to it but it was bitter and resembled Coca-Cola great big bubbles in it and in a dirty glass. I made the waitress aware it was actually making me feel sick and handed him back a half full/half empty glass. He said sorry………no offer of a replacement FML! Starters came out and they were lovely, hot and in a timely fashion no issues here. Another drinks order was placed with the male waiter of one wine and cider but he had to run off to get his notepad as he left it at the bar. As if he couldn’t remember two drinks of which we had already told him the pellet! Everybody was happy with food and couldn’t wait to get stuck into our mains after a historical visit was exceptional. The starter table was cleared and were asked if we wanted deserts by said pellet WTF we replied we haven’t had our mains yet! We starved for just over 45 minutes. When the food came it looked great. Flavour, quality and quantities were there however 7 out of the 9 plates brought to us were cold. Told the waiter only to be told ‘sorry’ again…. That was it. Our food was also served at different intervals where some people had finished before others had received theirs, still cold. We asked while eating for the desert menu and Pellet said we don’t normally serve desert while mains are still out, all the while two children and two adults had finished their mains because of there staggered service. I guess it was getting tough running all 9 plates through the microwave. One dish was a pork roast so my sister in law asked for some apple sauce and never received, my wife asked for mint sauce and it was pretty much thrown at her. We finished up and couldn’t be bothered with deserts by this time so sat in the sofa area to finish up our drinks with a few family and friends that had arrived for a drink. The coffee machine was to the rear of us where there was a seat. Fair game if you ask me! I sat there and to entertain children I pretended making realistic noises to make them a coffee. A rude foreign women was walking between us and shouted at me to not touch the coffee machine when I hadn’t I was simply making the noises and had a dirty cup in my hand off our table. This is where pellet two came out. Pellet two with a tattoo up his neck and a sh*t shirt. Preaching to us we must move out the way all stressed and flustered. 120 covers today and he was seeing his arse with rage. The bill was already paid and they preceded to get ruder saying things like MOVE please rather than excuse me! My wife and sister in law went to the bar by this time to give feedback. They informed the manager in the sh*t shirt where he just got on the defensive saying everything we said isn’t true, seemed to have an answer for everything and kept telling them he had 120 covers, maybe they should have not taken so many bookings as they clearly couldn’t cope. We then caught him relaying this information when we’re leaving to other customers, Professional! By this time I just wanted to throat punch him but children were present and I was pushing my newborn. Rant over for this sh*t show and rude staff. Keep your £25 roast dinners gold and Guinness bitter The golden cross Cirencester is a sh**ter!

Lovely pub landlord and landlady were very accommodating made you feel very welcome food was lovely and good prices. Would recommend this pub if you want a very welcoming atmosphere and good food and beer

We stopped by to have abit of lunch and wow, cannot wait to go back. We had the squid as a sharing nibble and was the best squid we've had. I had ham, egg and chips which was delicious and the hubby had sausages and mash and that was just as delicious (I pinched some) 😋

First time returning since it's been taken over. We'll definitely be back!!! It was busy, and the manager told us there'd be a short wait on food because there were some larger tables ahead of us. We almost went elsewhere as the kids were starving... but very glad we didn't. The food is fantastic! Kids' menu options were really nice, and devoured. The pastrami sandwich which came with skinny fries was the best I've had outside of New York! The team that work at the Golden Cross were brilliant - friendly, attentive even as they got increasingly busier. As said, we'll definitely be back. Some of the other good looked incredible and can't wait to try it.

Been to this pub a few times and usually the barman is friendly, however the last time we came he was very rude. We came in for a quick drink and as we had our toddler with us and we asked the barman for a teaspoon as our son wanted his toddler yoghurt. The barman started being quite rude saying that they do kids food and said next time don’t bring toddler/baby food in here and order off the menu as they are a food pub!! I told him that our child is fussy and has specific dietary requirements and the fact he is only 3 and he was still rude even though we had spent money at the bar. They are very accommodating for dogs in the pub but obviously not children!! I find this completely bizarre and such an odd thing to say, does he say this to families with new borns that are Breast feeding or formula fed?? This is so sad as we do normally come here for a drink with our son however after this comment we shall not be visiting again and will be going somewhere more excepting of a 3 year old!!

So myself, my husband and my 3 year old son stopped by this pub today to just have a drink and a chill. Myself and my husband ordered some drinks and usually we bring a few snacks to keep our toddler entertained so we can relax and enjoy our drinks so today we accidentally left our spoon at home for our son to have a yogurt so we politely asked the guy behind the bar if we could borrow a tea spoon. He gave us one but was completely rude and said ‘ we do a children’s menu ‘ my husband said ok but we’re not having food, we’re here for a simple drink and just require a spoon for our little boy to have his yogurt! The guy then continued to say well we are a food pub so we need to remember that for in the future and not to bring food in future! We were completely dumbstruck and shocked at the rudeness and found it such a bizarre thing to say. Our son is 3 and we were there for a drink NOT food!! Does he say this to all other parents with children if they don’t order food, I sincerely hope he doesn’t say this to newborn being fed breast milk or formula as that’s not on the menu ( excuse miss/mrs, we do have a children’s menu ) what an odd and stupid remark, we will not be returning to this pub again which is a shame as we have actually been regular customer up until today!!!

Lovely pub, friendly service and a good range of ale. We will be back again!

Looked around the town fir somewhere for lunch, came across this lovely pub. We all had lovely meals, plates were full, so we’re we. Service was great.

Lovely welcoming atmosphere- food amazing with great portion sizes Had steak and seafood linguine and couldn't fault it. Friendly hosts and right in the heart of town. Would definitely return FABULOUS. Ellis/Reynard North Yorkshire 😁

Just had drinks. Friendly staff good location. Lovely outside area.

We popped in for a bite to eat last night and were warmly welcomed. We were impressed that the pub has retained its character - cosy, rustic and just as a pub should be. The menu was very interesting with some unusual snacks and starters. The pork crackling with apple sauce was excellent. All the food is freshly prepared using local producers wherever possible. The pub offers Happy Hour 6-8pm and other events regularly. We are sure to be back and bring the family!

We had our Christmas meal for a group of 10. We had a lovley big table and the food and service was excellent. Nothing was to much trouble and very reasonable.

First visit to this lovely Pub today. Service, food & atmosphere were 100%…. Location is good being in the centre of this pretty little Town.

Entered pub at 1.20pm was seated at table 1.30pm as booked. Nobody came to serve us until 2pm that was because we enquired then waitress was abrupt. Food arrived 2.45pm - only because yet again asked where it was. Food was tasty but Luke warm. The bill arrived and they tried charging us for drinks not purchased. Customer service 1/10. Waiters/WaItresses didn’t seem to have a clue .

Such a lovely friendly welcome. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Would definitely return next time we're in area.

Excellent food in a lovely, friendly pub

Our second visit to The Golden Cross in as many weeks and again impeccable food, service and memories to boot. Food was amazing and the service first class, all the staff are brilliant, going the extra mile for patrons and four legged friends. I can highly recommend the scotch egg, cooked to perfection with a runny yolk, canny lush.

Had a spot of lunch here with my wife a few days ago. Great friendly service, great range of drinks and the food is brilliant 👍 can highly recommend

A most innovative menu, great choices, great ingredients, very clever well chosen dishes. We absolutely loved it. Highly recommend the very tasty OXO cube starter and the blade of beef main was simply the best. Well done Golden Cross Inn. We will come back for sure.

RUDE, poor, overpriced food and no interest in customer satisfaction! We went for a celebration lunch with our daughter who ordered a burger, I ordered a crispy BLT and my husband the fish & chips. At £16, £9.50 and £17 a pop respectfully, I expected the food to be good. To be fair the fish & chips were good, but thats where the satisfaction ends. The 'crispy' bacon I ordered was hard and inedible and made my teeth hurt from trying to chew it but the really terrible meal was the burger. It was gristly and full of tough, sinuous beef. The majority of it was inedible and was left on the plate. I told the waitress that the burger wasnt very nice and she said she'd tell the chef. When the bill came my husband asked if they were prepared to do anything with regards to the poor burger. She rudely replied that the chef said 'the meat was good and two other cutomers had had the burger with no complaint'. She went on to say that, 'they weren't like a chain of food shops where they can take money off'. Her condescending and rude manner made it very clear that profits were firmly placed ahead of any form of customer satisfaction! What a disappointing and upsetting experience we had when our intention was to celebrate. I wouldnt recommend this place to my worst enemy!

Absolutely fantastic staff, superb freshly cooked food. Very friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend for beer and a meal out

A real gem of a pub with a very inviting atmosphere where you know you will be taken good care of. We turned up at the beginning of what was going to be a busy Sunday service for them. We were seated with drinks given and talked through a delicious sounding menu. Our roast dinners were of an extremely high standard. Perfectly rare beef and excellent pork( incredible crackling !) Everything about the pub and the service was excellent and we will definitely be returning.

We have been coming to Cirencester for the past 16 years and always go to the Golden Cross for Sunday lunch. We saw a change in ownership in December 2022 but definitely for the better. Staff all very friendly and welcoming. Lovely ambiance. Sunday lunch is absolutely fabulous. I had the 3 meats! Beautifully cooked, lovely vegetables, huge Yorkshire pudding! Good selection of wines and beers. Panna cotta with warm figs and and a drizzle of toffee sauce is just too good for words!! Fabulous coffee to finish off. Dog friendly. Booking essential for Sunday lunch! They were turning so many disappointed people away... Thanks to all the staff involved we really appreciated our fabulous Sunday lunch xx

I had ham egg and chips, which came with piccallilli. The size of the portion was generous and very tasty. I didn't have much room afterward so I just had ice-cream. Husband said his food and real ale were both great. It was a last minute choice to come here but will definitely return as we were both satisfied with the food and drink.

Saturday afternoon, great music, great BBQ, great service, top venue. Best atmosphere in Cirencester and well worth a visit or five

Popped in on the off chance as most pubs & restaurants were booked. Never eaten here before but had a lunchtime beer many months ago. Service was friendly & attentive. All staff seemed to enjoy working together which was great. Was expecting usual pub grub but menu was more than you’d expect from a pub & food was restaurant quality. Food was really good. Will definitely revisit

A great pub, nice beers and the staff are really friendly. Perfect service throughout. Highly recommended.

Came for the BBQ and live music. Lovely garden at the back. Giles the chef always delivers with quality food and the rest of the staff are great. Highly recommend but leave a spot for us in the garden!

Visited for Sunday lunch. Positives were good service, friendly staff, good portion size and all fresh. Negatives well only one. The vegetables tasted of aniseed! Great if you like aniseed but a big turn off if you don’t. Should be an option for plain non...

From the time we walked in we felt welcomed. Greeted with a smile, hello from the manager. We were quickly shown to a table which was set out beautifully. The restaurant staff were attentive and charming. We had the rib eye steak which were the...

Met up with another couple to catch up over a quiet mid week meal out and was not disappointed. The menu online did not have a wide range but when we arrived we were presented with a healthy variety of options to cater to all...

Beautifully decorated inside and out. Sat outside in the sunny beer garden/terrace. Lovely drinks. Really enjoyed it.

Visited for the first time after recommendation from a friend. We both had the black pudding scotch egg for starter . Mains linguine and chicken Caesar ,both courses were extremely tasty and well presented. The staff were all friendly and professional. Will definitely be returning...

We are - actually were - regular customers for years. I made the fatal mistake of running to the empty bar with a smile asking for two packs of salt & vinegar crisps. I was met with the nastiest attitude ever. The manager told me...

The Resaurant Manager was arrogant and dismissed the fact that two of our four meals was burnt. We asked him to tell Giles our complaint but we had no reply Very disappointing we had a lovely meal on Father’s Day and were very happy

Brilliant meal today at Golden Cross. Waitress was excellent. Even got me a towel as i got soaked getting there in the rain. Will be returning

A great place to eat. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly, bonus is it is dog friendly. My husband and I had the crayfish tail and salmon linguine, it was full of flavour.

Had a very enjoyable night out, menu choices are basic and very much just pub grub, requires a bit more attention to detail, especially if people are going to go for a “special” night out, needs an improved menu. Particularly the high prices now when...

Lovely pub with great food and ales. Would highly recommend. The cider battered fish and chips are the best we’ve ever had - don’t miss it!

Fantastic food at the cross , the staff are all so lovely and nothing is to much problem .Sunday lunch is amazing with the biggest Yorkshire puddings you’ve ever seen .

Very good imaginative modern british food precisely prepared. Very friendly service. Highly recommended. Good surroundings

We went here after my son told me what a wonderful Sunday lunch he had here the previous weekend. We were not disappointed. Giles, the chef came out and talked out through several options on the menu and about his venture to the Golden Cross....

The Golden Cross was a fantastic venue for a meal out for a party of 29, which we held in the function room. This was my first visit since it has changed ownership. Giles, the chef and his colleagues were great throughout, from helping us...

Wow!! Just had the most amazing Sunday Lunch at the Golden Cross, Cirencester. They've recently changed ownership. Great service, great atmosphere, GREAT quality food. Dog friendly. Very well priced. Thank you to all involved for a lovely visit. We look forward to seeing you again.

This was a great venue for a friend's birthday celebration. The food was so good and we held it in the function room which had enough space for all of us. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive and went above and beyond to ensure...

Fabulous pub. Great refurbishment, efficient friendly staff, excellent food. Would highly recommend 👍 have been here a number of times now, reckon it’s now Cirencesters best pub.

A pleasant place for a drink or two. The guy behind the bar was very friendly and the Arkells beers were well kept. I can't comment on the food but the diners we saw seemed happy.

Amazing food, vibrant atmosphere, amazing and friendly staff, cosy rooms and amazing chef, excellent management. Highly recommend.

Called in for lunch on a overnight visit to Cirencester. It looks like the pub has had a recent redecoration which looks really nice. Had whitebait as a 'nibble' which at £8.50 were pricy but no disappointment when they came. There weren't many but plump,...

We visited The Golden Cross for Sunday lunch, and could not have had a better time! All three courses were brilliant (the crispy goat's cheese salad, Sunday roast and sticky date pudding were all to die for). The service was friendly and witty and made...

Recently visited with my partner & children for a late afternoon stop on the way home! Was welcomed by friendly staff quick service & new menu looked amazing! Will definitely be visiting again.

Everything about the meal and service was lovely, but the shock was when we had our bill . It is not a Discretionary Service Charge which was a shock.

First time in this pub, since new owners took over , 3 days in and they are really busy so they must be doing something right , really friendly staff and the pub has been done up really nice. Booked for Sunday roast £25 for...

Frequent visitor over the years and it used to be one of the best in the town. I think they have some personal issues behind the scenes, but the basics are really not being taken care of. We went in for lunch and as other...

Spent overnight stay. Guys most welcoming and beer first class. Good location for seeing Cirencester. Single room clean and good value if a bit basic but price was competitive. Will return. Would be good to see staff in a liveried shirt or similar uniform. Gives...

We ordered the Sunday roast. The lamb was sinewy, the beef overcooked, the roast potatoes were like bullets. The Yorkshire pudding was very dry. The only item cooked well was the cabbage. The photos you see on Trip Advisor must be out of date as...

We called for a drink on a warm day & as most of the tables had reserved signs, we sat on bar stools. The cask ale was fine and the staff were friendly so we had a second drink. All the while we were there,...

Amazing food and service. Staff are so nice, especially the bar man as he can provide amazing hummus.

After researching around for a good place to have Easter Sunday lunch we found the golden cross as “one of the best in the Cotswolds”. We found this to be inaccurate, as the “pan roasted lamb rump” was wafer thin and fatty, roast potatoes were...

Terrible place! Dog poo in the garden from the landlords dog, foul mouthed bar man with no regard for young children around him. I have never had such a poor experience in a pub! If I could give less than 1 star I would. I...

I visited this pub with my family and was appalled with how we were treated! We spent £44 on a round of 4 drinks, to then walk out into the back beer garden to walk into a huge pile of dog poo..we let the bartender...

Had lunch here after searching for a dog friendly restaurant which served good food, we were not disappointed. Really friendly staff, good choice on the menu for us, food was great, arrived quickly, really generous portion sizes, tasty and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

We had been turned away from numerous places before we tried the Golden cross and we were pleased that we had. The brunch was great, delicious sausages and bread. My granddaughter made quick work of the pancakes. She decided that it was where we should...

Had our works meal at the weekend. Food was very good, portions were large. Too large really. Service was a bit slow but there was 30 of us, so I imagine they were a bit stretched for kitchen space.

Service was fine albeit a bit slow but you were clearly busy. The food however was shocking. Calamari was extremely chewy. We then had burgers which were burnt on the outside, dry and flavourless (clearly no seasoning). My friend and I also ended up vomiting...

Cirencester is a regular 'watering hole' for us on our travels and the food and service are always good at this town-centre bar. Friends were impressed by the quality of the ingredients especially the bacon and bread in our lunchtime sandwiches. Quality wines to accompany...

Visited today with friends, for Sunday lunch. The roasts were plentiful and tasty and GX burger was excellent. Large portions, decent service, no frills, decent pub grub. We have visited before and would recommend. The small courtyard garden is nice (I can understand some of...

Went for lunch while visiting Cirencester, food was lovely and staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Sat in a sunny courtyard garden and enjoyed the occasional company of a dog called Hippo who was extremely well behaved

A pokey room. Decor from quick run round charity shops I presume. Litterally no room to swing a cat. Bathroom so small with worlds tiniest lethal shower that nedds attention. No side tables next to bed or anywhere to put bags so everything is on...

We booked a table for Sunday lunch. All covid restrictions were in place but we really didn't mind the staff were friendly and efficient. Our young dog was welcome and the place was tastefully decorated. Now the important stuff the beer was good and our food was excellent with plenty of it. We would go again and recommend it.

Just popped in on spec on Sunday 6th hoping for a lunch for the two of us , we were welcomed, even though we had our 4 legged friend with us, with an option of an outside or inside table , we sat inside and ordered 2 Sunday lunches one beef and one lamb -- two very generous meals arrived along with a couple of glasses of real ale . The food and the ale were excellent along with pleasant and personable staff what more could one wish for ? Keep up the good work.

Where do I start...We arrived at the front of the pub to ask if there was any spare tables for our family to sit at, the man told us to wait a few minutes to go and check. This took about 15 minutes for them to get back to us, leaving us waiting at the door. After sitting down at our table for not even 5 minutes, we were asked to leave. My youngest daughter was told to wear a mask while walking through to the back garden which she did after being asked. However, we then rudely got told that we were not going to be served, accusing us for not doing so. It did not stop here, we then got rudely shouted at by the manager, who raised his voice in a very unpleasant way, throwing his hands everywhere, making us feel really uncomfortable. I have never experienced such service before, and is definitely not a way I would run my business....

We received a friendly welcome, very accommodating. We ordered the Sunday lunch, very tasty, and well presented but regardless of this no Beef roast is worth £18! Pretty basic meal ingredients. Considering ‘the current climate’ the prices should be reconsidered because that is sheer greed.

We visited the Golden Cross Inn at the weekend for a Sunday Roast, and were not disappointed. Nothing too fancy on the decor; but friendly welcome.We ordered the calamari for starters which was great, followed by the mixed roast and Chicken roast options. Cauliflower cheese to share (which comes as part of the roast); didn’t arrive alongside with an additional Yorkshire pudding. Although it took a moment to flag down staff after we had started eating, they were incredibly apologetic and swiftly served the forgotten items. As a goodwill gesture, they offered to remove the starter cost from the bill, and very kindly another round of drinks. This really made us feel like valued customers and we left very satisfied with the experience.Cute pub dog too!

Realmente en estado de shock por lo mal que estaba este lugar. Esperaba un buen almuerzo de lunes a viernes, no esperas el estándar michelin, pero esto era tan pobre como parece.Ahora dejaré el interior envejecido y el servicio lento como molestias menores, sin embargo, los dos problemas principales no pueden pasarse por alto.En primer lugar, la comida, no estoy seguro de que un elemento se haya cocinado correctamente. Patatas Rick Hard, verduras claramente obsoletas utilizadas y la estrella del espectáculo, un trozo de pollo muy poco cocido. ¡Pecado capital! ! ! ! Suceden bastante errores. Lo devolvió después de una discusión con el gerente, vuelve a salir, el mismo plato, un nuevo trozo de pollo, ahora al borde de la quema.Ya es suficiente, solicitó un reembolso. Tuvo que discutir un punto durante 40 minutos antes de que finalmente se acordara. Gestión muy grosera y conflictiva.No puedo recomendar.

Visité con mi esposa, mis hijos y mis dos perros. . . todos nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos y nuestros perros disfrutaron de las delicias que les dio el personal del bar. El menú tiene una buena elección, tuvimos las 2 últimas porciones de mejillones muy frescos y sabrosos. También comimos huevos con jamón y un sándwich de carne. El brownie casero era tan bueno que teníamos una segunda porción. Sin duda volveremos cuando esté en la zona.

Una bienvenida tan cálida y amistosa. Muy buen covid - configuración segura.Menú era genial y tomó un tiempo elegir. Todos estábamos muy contentos con nuestras elecciones, ya que todo fue perfecto. El personal no podría haber sido más amable y servicial. Precioso espacio al aire libre y todo muy limpio. Definitivamente regresaremos pronto.

Excellent service, good pub food at the right price. The garden is lovely Peroni - good Prosecco - good Chips - amazing Special mention to Ben & Jess for being so friendly and helpful Good pub, good beer, good times

Este pub tiene una gran zona para sentarse al aire libre. Las bebidas eran agradables y frescas y el servicio fue bastante rápido. La comida se servía en porciones generosas. Sin embargo, hubo un problema con los meseros, uno de los cuales se llevó las bebidas que estaban llenas hasta la cuarta parte, fue bastante despectivo con algunos miembros de nuestro grupo y nos cobró incorrectamente. Cuando destacamos esto, se ignoró y se nos cobró la cantidad incorrecta, con un "lo siento" después de que la tarjeta se colocó contra el lector sin contacto. Quizás fuimos en un mal día, y aparte de esto, el pub era agradable en general. ¡También había un par de encantadores perros de pub! !

Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra visita a este pub, tan pronto como entramos, tuvimos una cálida bienvenida por parte de todo el personal.Nos sentamos en la hermosa taberna al aire libre con nuestro perro y, debido a que era un día tan caluroso, uno de los miembros del personal (desafortunadamente no obtuvimos su nombre) le preparó a nuestro perro un cuenco de agua helada para refrescarlo.Solo nos estábamos quedando para tomar algo, pero terminamos comiendo algo allí y estamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho, ya que era realmente bueno. Mi esposo y yo compartimos algunas patatas fritas y calamares, mi hija probó la poutine de Cotswolds, que era increíble y mi hijo tenía jamón, huevos y patatas fritas. No nos podemos quejar de nada.Nos sentimos realmente cuidados allí, especialmente por Tom, Katie y Jess, que eran encantadores.Esperamos volver cuando visitemos Cirencester nuevamente a fines de agosto.

Anoche nos aventuramos a salir por primera vez desde que se alivió el bloqueo. Tengo que decir que el personal del Golden Cross no podría haber sido más amable y servicial. Fueron muy claras sobre las reglas que teníamos que seguir. Como de costumbre, la comida y la cerveza eran de muy buena calidad y fue muy agradable pasar la noche allí.Muy agradable de hecho

¡Estábamos ansiosos por nuestro almuerzo del domingo aquí! Especialmente porque habíamos leído en el menú que dicen “Nuestra ternera y cordero se asan poco a poco, nuestras verduras se cocinan" al dente ". ¡Adoro mi carne asada poco común! !Cuando llegamos, todos fueron muy amables y acogedores. Nos llevaron a nuestra mesa y nos aseguraron que todo había sido recién desinfectado.Así que compartimos un cebo blanco con pan de masa madre para comenzar y ¡fue realmente agradable! ¡Tenía grandes esperanzas en el rosbif! ! Llegaron los platos principales, bellamente presentados con un fabuloso Yorkie, zanahoria asada y chirivía, col roja especiada, puré de zanahoria y nabo y tres asados de grasa de ganso. Una cantidad muy pequeña de salsa, ya que puedes comprar más por 2, no me molesté, me encanta la salsa, pero si la porción adicional fuera del mismo tamaño, ¡habría necesitado 10 para que valiera la pena! Había dos buenas rebanadas de rosbif. Lamentablemente, en realidad, enormemente decepcionante, lamentablemente, el raro rosbif no era nada raro, como pueden ver en mi foto. Estaba casi bien hecho y no creo que se hubiera cocinado ese día y posiblemente se hubiera congelado previamente, por eso era tan masticable. Lo siento chicos, quería amar esto, pero el perro comió más carne que yo. ?Tomamos una cerveza y una copa de vino cada uno junto con un entrante compartido y un asado cada uno y la cuenta total fue 66.

I only popped in for a quick pre dinner drink as it looks so inviting from the outside! Once in I just loved the decor and cleanliness of the place. A nice friendly bartender and a very well kept pint. What could be better!

Popped in here for a bite to eat followinhg visit to neighbouring Ciren Museum. Best pup lunch we have ever had. Canadian Pitou to die for and mushrooms on toast. Service good and friendly staff. Perfect on a very rainy day in town. Complete and utter succes, Will return definitely when next in Ciren.

We were recommended to go here for Sunday lunch by a local chap. Very relaxed, cosy atmosphere. Extremely friendly staff - our lovely waitress was Lottie. The food was superb.

We popped in on the recommendation of a nearby shop manager for a late lunch. Quiet. We found a cost corner to ensconce ourselves in. The service from the bar staff was great and friendly , we ordered a “posh” fish finger sarnie on sourdough (slightly burnt toasted bread, but otherwise very tasty and a good portion size) and tankard fish & chips (no complaints). The food was served by a friendly guy although it was slightly odd that he dressed in a rain coat rather than indoor clothes! Overall quiet with good food and a good menu selection

Delicioso almuerzo del domingo! ! Nos hemos vuelto bastante regulares en este pub para cuando nos apetece un asado, es el mejor pub de la zona para una buena comida, un ambiente realmente relajante con una hermosa chimenea para el invierno y un bonito jardín en verano. La comida siempre es de primera categoría, grandes porciones e incluso nos permiten traer a nuestro perro que adora venir aquí también.En general, un gran lugar para un domingo, relajarse y cenar

Vino a almorzar para cuatro, mesa bastante llena pero fácil de encontrar, así que pedí bebidas y comida sencilla de pub.Media hora más tarde terminó las bebidas. No hay comida a la vista. Se sirvieron un par de otras mesas, así que preguntamos sobre nuestro pedido de salchichas, pastel, puré y kedgeree, nada que tardó mucho en cocinar. Dije que estaría aquí pronto. Sin disculpas Ahora consciente de que la música del pub era irritantemente inapropiada, ya que el pub ahora solo estaba un cuarto lleno. Así que no hay excusas para problemas de cocina.Todavía tenía hambre después de otros 20 minutos, así que volví a preguntar porque nos preocupaba que nos quedáramos más tiempo del parquímetro y nos multasen. Diferentes miembros del personal se fueron a investigar, ya que consideramos seriamente solo irnos.Mientras nos íbamos levantando para ir, uno de los platos llegó y los otros durante los siguientes diez minutos, al menos 50 minutos después de que ordenamos. Sin disculpasLa comida estaba bien, pero las cebollas crujientes estaban flojas. Todo lo que teníamos se hubiera cocinado fresco en 20 minutos. No nos dijeron lo que pasó.Como nos habíamos burlado de la comida rápidamente para volver al coche, pagamos (precios promedio) pero nos decepcionó mucho no tener ninguna disculpa o gesto de buena voluntad, por un servicio tan poco profesional. No busco regalos, pero incluso la oferta de café gratis hubiera sido algo.No volveremos Definitivamente no recomiendo este lugar hasta que obtenga un gerente que sepa lo que están haciendo y capacite al personal en servicio al cliente.

Recently enjoyed a family meal at The Golden Cross, very warm and welcoming and pet friendly supplying drinking bowl for our dog. We opted for Sunday roast dinners with all the trimmings which where very tasty. Great dining experience and well worth a visit.

Creo que The Golden Cross será difícil de superar para un almuerzo del domingo. Hemos estado dos veces recientemente y realmente hemos disfrutado las dos veces. La comida es de alta calidad, muy bien preparada, el personal es muy amable y eficiente. Nuestro perro también fue bienvenido. Tuve un asado mixto. . . Luego vino el queso de coliflor! !
