The White Cross in Lancaster

Great location, great food, great service and great staff. Nothing else to add except we will be back soon and I'm sure it will be just as excellent.

Warm and welcoming, great food and lovely staff.

Food was delicious staff friendly and atmosphere calm and comfortable

El White Cross es un excelente canal - pub lateral en Quarry Road que ofrece una fantástica gama de comida y bebida y fue uno de los muchos lugares que visitamos en nuestro viaje de dos días a Lancaster. Este fantástico pub se encuentra en un almacén de una fábrica de algodón. Tiene un interior espacioso con un aspecto y sensación muy modernos con muy buenas opciones de asientos en todo el interior de los pubs. Visitamos varios canales - bares laterales y este era tan bueno como los otros que visitamos. Tiene una excelente gama de cervezas artesanales y en nuestra visita tuvimos unos vasos de cerveza de barril de la cervecería Timothy Taylors que se sirvieron en perfectas condiciones y donde muy bien precio. Es un canal brillante - pub lateral que se encuentra en una zona pintoresca de Lancaster y vale la pena ir si estás por esta zona de Lancaster. (Esta es mi segunda revisión de la Cruz Blanca). Horario de apertura. Lunes - jueves - 11. 30 - 23 . 00 . Viernes - Sábado - 11. 30 - 00 . 00 . Domingo - 12. 00 - 23 . 00 .

El White Cross Pub es un gran pub junto al canal que siempre espero visitar en cualquier viaje a Lancaster que tome. Un pub de gran aspecto , el interior es soberbio, ladrillos a la vista, decoración ecléctica y mobiliario, un bar de servicio de aspecto fresco domina la sala principal y hay un montón de opciones de asientos repartidos por todo este pub tanto en el interior como en el exterior con vistas al hermoso Canal de Lancaster , es simplemente un pub realmente bueno para relajarse en . Estuvimos aquí después de visitar la catedral de Lancaster, pub estaba ocupado con un gran ambiente, pedimos pale ale's ( Cervecería Lancaster ) , estos se sirvieron en condiciones prístinas, nos relajamos y empapamos de la gran vibra en este pub ocupado y popular mientras bebíamos nuestra pale ale's. Mi cerveza pale ale era muy buena, una cerveza pale ale dorada, crujiente y con lúpulo, llena de sabor y muy fácil de beber, era tan bueno estar en un pub tan encantador disfrutando de una cerveza de calidad y se sentó con mi hermano gemelo, el mejor compañero de cerveza del mundo. Los dos disfrutamos mucho de nuestra cerveza pálida aquí antes de seguir adelante y aunque nuestra visita fue solo fugaz como en cualquier otra visita a The White Cross Pub nos lo pasamos muy bien. El White Cross Pub es fácil de localizar Quarry Road. El horario de apertura es; Lunes a jueves, 11. 30 am a 11 pm. Viernes y sábado, 11. 30 am hasta medianoche. Domingo, mediodía hasta las 11 pm. Vale la pena comprobar si estás en la zona.

Califico todo sobre este lugar como alto. En primer lugar, el personal es excelente; trabajador, bien informado y amable. Es un buen lugar para sentarse junto al canal en un día soleado y acogedor en el interior por las noches. Escribo esta crítica sin embargo para elogiar la cocina. Es alentador ir a algún lugar haciendo comida de pub correctamente. El pescado y las patatas fritas que comí hoy fueron excelentes. La masa era ligera y crujiente, perfectos guisantes mushosos y excelente salsa tártara. Los asados también se ven excelentes.

Lovely pub with top-notch food. Staff are really nice and helpful also. We've booked in for mothers Day, and we are really looking forward to going again.

Wide range of drinks, good quality pub food, and attentive, friendly service throughout - with it being so close to the centre of Lancaster and by the canal, you can't go wrong

Great place, perfect setting. Good beer and food excellent. Brisket sandwich makes you winder why people are veggies, beautiful.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff

Maravilloso almuerzo del domingo en la Cruz Blanca. La comida era genial como siempre, pero lo que realmente lo diferenciaba era el servicio... nuestra camarera Mia era amable, profesional y eficiente a pesar de lo ocupado que estaba el restaurante. 5 estrellas de nosotros.

A good lunchtime drink with family.

An absolutely fantastic and hitch free evening from start to finish. A nice simple party booking form beforehand and a wonderful meal and evening. All 13 in the party thoroughly enjoyed their food. It was very very attractively presented and great tasting. The staff were very polite and attentive. I would highly recommend and have already been asked by the group if we can go there for our next meal out.

Went here the other day to meet friends. Really lovely staff very attentive and friendly. Lovely atmosphere and lovely food.

My usual yearly visit on the works christmas do. Always a great selection of beer/ale on tap, and reasonablyish priced. The only downside would be the pool table which is now card only, and the regulars are sometimes too defensive!

Nice pub this next to the canal, lots of room and a good atmosphere. A good selection of beers too, with Christmas tipples like mulled wine and ciders too. We had a couple of bar snacks and had the best onion rings In a very very long time, looking forward to coming back and trying other menu items!

Went for works xmas dinner. None of us could fault it. Tasty, well presented food, and excellent service. Pre meal communication was excellent too. I've known a few people eat here recently and have all said how good it is

I did a delivery there and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Great pub in central Lancaster. Simple but complete menu. Excellent burgers! Too bad we didn't try the house fish and chips, which was missing from the menu. Courteous and kind staff. Large, clean place in a historic building along the river.

We just had a swim club social here complete with Xmas meal. The service was extraordinary brilliant. Everyone got the correct meal without fuss, wait or faff. The staff knew who had ordered what and served all by name. Our two waitresses were engaging friendly and super organised. For a group of 25 this is far better than other Christmas service encountered this year and others. Good food for a large group. Great bar service and atmosphere. Thank you for a great evening 👍👍

We were a party of 30 . We had pre ordered our food. The service was fantastic. Attentive to detail. Nothing was to much trouble. Food excellent. All those around me commented on quality, quantity, and succulentness of food presented. My immediate neighbour said beef was best he'd ever tasted. I had special request no problem . So well done to all the staff, chef . Thankyou for a delightful evening

I attended our annual Christmas celebration here. The food, staff and service were excellent. The table looked very festive with candles, crackers and decorations. We were made to feel very welcome. I would recommend The White Cross as a perfect venue for a Christmas celebration.

While on a short break along with my dog, I went into this dog friendly pub with my slightly highly strung pooch! The man behind the bar (sorry I didn't get his name!) Was very welcoming, despite the antics of the dog! I decided to sit outside to give the customers some peace 🙈😆 and it has a lovely canal side location with plenty of benches and a small garden off to the side. The barman brought my much needed coffee out to me and spent time with the dog while chatting to me about the city and recommending places to walk. I really appreciated that... and the good coffee! I suspect if I had gone into a coffee shop I would not have had the same experience. So here's to our pubs! ☕️ And this was a very fine one!

La comida aquí siempre es brillante, pero este fin de semana traje a mi mamá y papá a visitar a mi hija que está en la universidad en Lancaster. La camarera era absolutamente encantadora y amable, se tomó el tiempo para hablar con todos nosotros y especialmente mis padres. Incluso conversó sobre ideas para postres. Sin duda volverían con nosotros.

One of the most beautiful pubs I have ever been to. Felt so wholesome and welcoming. Food quality was top - I highly recommend the beef brisket Sunday roast. It’s a shame I don’t live closer because it’s just such a nice pub!

Wide selction of drinks, plenty of cask and keg ales, friendly staff and decent food. Plenty of tables and on a nice day, lovely to sit along the canal. Car park and capacity to seat large groups has made this a regular spot for many a works do.

We came as a last minute with our 4 & 7 years olds, our server was fantastic, the food was gorgeous & reasonably priced. Looking forward to coming again soon.

Fab real ale pub in a great location right on the canal in Lancaster. I counted 10 cask ales on tap. My Titanic Plum Porter was a beauty. Even on a drizzly Halloween evening it was a delight! 🎃

Wanted to share a nice meal when visiting my daughter at university. Unfortunately, this did not happen. The Thai curry was mediocre and the garden salad states it has goats cheese. There was no evidence of this and when asked, the bar staff said ‘it’s mixed in’. There was no goat’s cheese. No one checked if the meal was ok until they collected the plates. I told the lady it was awful and she laughed at me. I had to say that I was not joking but she continued to laugh. Thoroughly disappointing and ruined our whole evening. Do not recommend and will not be back . No recompense or true apology offered.

Reservé en línea y solicité una mesa específica ya que estábamos visitando con la suegra que llevábamos a ver el ballet en el Grand para su 80 cumpleaños. La mesa se instaló con un mensaje de cumpleaños encantador. El personal era acogedor y conversador, una camarera en particular (lo siento olvidó su nombre) vino y era encantador, lo hizo sentir especial para el MIL. La comida era genial, las bebidas agradables y encantador comienzo de la noche. Gracias a todos los involucrados.

Lovely canal side pub with friendly service and great drinks selection. Food has gone downhill recently though, is now overly fussy with everything having to have a 'twist' that invariably makes it less appealing. Hopefully the chef will go back to basics again soon.

Absolutely brilliant place and Harley is th3 hostess with the mostess!!! Highly recommended

Great place to eat fantastic service really good food

Esta fue una reserva de última hora durante su estancia cerca. Había leído algunas críticas, que estamos mezclados. Desde mi punto de vista, fue una experiencia encantadora. Llamado con antelación, a su llegada, la joven camarera no podría haber sido más servicial. Asistir a la mesa varias veces para comprobar si todo estaba bien, si necesitábamos algo más, más bebidas, postres, etc. Lo que falta mucho en otros lugares. Lamentablemente estaba lloviendo, así que no se sentó fuera a disfrutar de la hermosa vista. Estaría encantado de visitar de nuevo si en la zona.

Fantastic customer service Mia was amazing

Amazing vegetarian Sunday lunch - possibly the best I have ever had.

21/09/24: Sour with shandy? I hear you say! Yes it works! TikTok #doesitshandy

First time back since pre pandemic. Excellent canal side pub just a short walk out of town. We made the mistake of sitting by the pool table which wasn't being used when we ordered. Back again for lunch. Lovely meal in pleasant surroundings.

We have been to the White Cross several times recently. Food quality is good and portion sizes generous. The one thing is that the same dish on the menu will vary from visit to visit. So, for example, the Thai curry was more spicy yesterday than at our previous visit. Not massively hot but noticeable. Overall though, good food, good portion sizes.

A regular for us on walks along the canal with the dog. Always great drinks and friendly service. Perfect spot for when it is sunny outside but lots of seating inside too

Great pub.Great staff and drink

Huge pub on the canal side. Great service from the bar staff and spotlessly clean. Very highly recommend.

The pub it's self is nice, but the menu has a small selection of choice, and the price is way to high for the standard of food, fries where probably from a £1 bag of fries from farm foods, the chicken burger was OK nothing special the bun had a bit of grass from what looked like it was from outside. Wouldn't come again

First time at this pub and very impressed. Had the shoulder of lamb for Sunday lunch and my friend had the nut roast. Both were excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly and looked after us well. Overall it was a great experience. Highly recommend.

Great spot on the canal side. Some interesting beers and a great quiz night.

Incredible historic location, canal side seating as well as wonderful and attentive staff who are brimming with local knowledge and very clued up in regards to the food and alcohol menus. Dog friendly and staff offered to bring water and snacks for the dogs. Cheese board and starters are always a favourite of mine and I also love bringing family here for special occasions! Also a huge fan of the "does it shandy" videos on tiktok which I believe is filmed here! And just to add, the toilets are always lovely and clean, fresh smelling, well decorated and maintained and dont make you scared to sit if you know what I mean 😆

We had an excellent meal there with friends! Food was delicious, the setting, on the canal was perfect. We had rose wine, Hunter’s chicken, and chicken ham and leek pie and scampi. All excellent!! We would highly recommend this place!

Had an afternoon/tea with a large group of family, moved some tables to accommodate us all, lovely food to share and great service. Lovely outside seating when the weather is nice, canal side bar/restaurant minutes walk from city centre.

This is really 4.5! On a long weekend away with friends on a very wet Sunday. Phoned when 10 minutes walk away and was found a table for the 4 of us and very friendly and helpful. We all had the Sunday roast and delicious ... .must mention the cauliflower cheese, which was exceptional! The level of service was superb, being both friendly and professional. Would highly recommend.

Decent food & great choice of cask ales at time of visit.

Food seemed overpriced for food that clearly had been cooked a long while before it was ordered. Staff fine and maybe my fault for eating lunch at 4pm!

Good dependable pub with a great outdoor seating area on the canal. Great destination for a cold beer on a hot day. Food is standard, little overpriced if I’m being honest, and the staff are friendly and polite. I’ve been coming here for decades and it’s always worth a look.

Wonderful on all counts. Definitely worth a visit. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and an excellent selection of food and drinks.

We came for dinner a couple of weeks ago for a birthday. Our waitress (believe her name was Mia) was so incredibly lovely and an all around ray of sunshine. She truly made our meal so incredible. The other staff that served us were also so friendly. The food was lovely. Recommend the roast beef brisket and the veg curry!

Great place to sit and watch the boats go by. Nice touch that you can buy some Duck food.

A lovely pub by the side of a canal. Food was tasty, fast service, and super friendly staff.

A great spot with excellent food! 👌

Terrible service. Booked a table for two, on arrival was told they had no tables for two so a table was reserved next to the door opposite the bar. Sat and waited for someone to take our order no one came . Surely if the pub has overbooked and customers are seated elsewhere they should still receive the same service as in the restaurant. This was a meal for our anniversary so it was ruined. We left and ended up with a takeaway. Emailed The Whitecross no reply.

I had a wonderful time at the bar and eatery. The atmosphere was great, and I will definitely visit again.

Consigliati da un amico che vive a Lancaster abbiamo provato questo Locale. Bello, comodo, magnifica posizione, ottima birra, buona Cucina Cucina. Personale cordiale prezzi corretti

Amazing food, service, value, interesting menu. Best fish and chips ever and the mushroom parfait was out of this world! Recommend unreservedly.

The food I ordered was absolutely delicious got to say . I really don't each much but I did that day . Beautiful thankyou .

Great everything 😁 Pork belly dish and seabass plate , perfect!

Great cask beer choices. Lovely setting next to the canal. I didn't have any food.

Great food and drinks, brilliant staff! Lovely location.

Excellent sandwiches! Nice canal side pub with very friendly service.

Hello, We celebrated the graduation of my daughter at this pub in the middle of July. The stuff was very helpful even we had to change the booking three times because of various reasons. We sat inside, the atmosphere was very cosy, quiet - not like in other pubs when you have to shout to let someone hear you. The food was excellent as well, we ordered a few starters and main course, then dessert. Didn't have to wait long time before it was served. The service was spot on! Starting from when we were welcomed at the entrance and the waitresses looking after us and our guest during all time when we were there! Even to the point when the waitress was apologizing for the service charge included and was emphasising that it was voluntary and could be taken off. I didn't mind, I think the stuff deserved the tips and even a bit more on top of it. Definitely great place to have a dinner, enjoy a time with friends and family and and eat some excellent food! Best regards, Rustam.

Absolutely beautiful..food worth buying..perfect delicious...service 100%

Great food had the roast lamb it melted in your mouth but pricy but worth the money not been in awhile but it was lovely. Friendly staff too

Brilliant service good food and a catch up with friends

Nice pub by the Lancaster canal, popped in for a cheeky pint on Friday afternoon

Great pub dog friendly nice food good ale

Had the potted shrimps for starters and the chicken, ham and leek pie for main. Probably one of the best pies I've had in a long while.

Superb canal side location with outside seating for good weather and spacious indoor seating for less warm days. Excellent food and beer.

Let me just start by saying, the pie, the Chicken and ham pie was THE best pie I've ever tasted, the gravy was perfection and the staff are just amazing. Absolutley loved every minute and worth every penny. Be back again soon to try more tasty wine and dishes!

The food was lovely! Had three courses each and I think it was reasonably priced, the food itself and the presentation was brilliant! The service was great, really attentive and had no problems at all! The atmosphere was really nice! Not too loud or quiet!

Lovely pub with seats right next to the canal. Big sitting area inside. Good selection of drinks and food. Friendly staff.

Excellent service above and beyond! Thank you Harley!

Great food, especially the special soup! Very busy so took a little time for the food but that's to be expected. Lovely friendly staff.

Lovely food staff are super friendly and it’s a nice clean pub right by canal as well

Super evening. Pub next to the canal. Perfect

Really nice place, found it on maps while visiting the city, food was lovely, best colleslaw ever! Staff was friendly and overall nice crowd enjoying a sunny sunday afternoon. Outdoor sitting by the canal is a plus.

An oasis for a great range of well kept, properly pulled Cask ales. Service is timely and with a smile. Great choice of ales on tap. Food is always good quality, well prepared and presented. Great location next to the canal but handy for town. Spacious pub, with plenty of seating inside and out. Worthy winner of Camra awards and will no doubt feature in future polls. Highly recommended.

Great food and atmosphere, beautifully set along the lake when it's sunny.

Guy behind bar was abrupt and spoke to us in an offhand manner . Manners cost nothing.

Wide selection of beers canal side location lots of comfy sofas

Food and service were good, however for the price it was a bit expensive. You'd get a similar tasting burger in weatherspoons for half the price.

Nice food, good service. There were some drinks put on the bill that weren't ours but I pointed it out to the server amd it was resolved.

My first visit for some time . All as good as ever.

A jewel in Lancaster. Came here with my friends for a Sunday roast. Each Sunday roast is £19. Roasted meat is tender, also has many kinds of vegetables, and they are sweet and juicy. I especially like the purple cabbage among the vegetables. The Yorkshire pudding here is the best Yorkshire pudding I have ever tasted! Lovely place! The staff's service is very friendly. Will definitely come again!

The service was amazing, all the staff looked after us so well and with a proper smile and welcome. Food was great but it was the service that stood out. A great night out.

The food got to us at a reasonable time and was never late. It's got 4 or 4.5 stars from me and my family.

Met up with a group of friends, and enjoyable experience had by all. A vast range of beers and lagers to choose from.

Good selection of beers, wasn't expecting Marble brewery in Lancaster. Dog friendly, spacious venue if not particularly interesting looking. Outside seating by the canal though.

Called in for a drink and ended up staying for lunch. food was amazing had the chicken and ham hock pie which was the special that day husband had a burger . The atmosphere in this place was lovely and the service and food was great .

Only stopped for drinks. Sat outside.

We had issues with our car but the manageress couldn't have been more helpful in what was an extremely stressful situation she was calming and understanding. Can't say enough but the staff really restore your faith in humanity. The owners should be extremely proud of their team there and do everything they can to ensure they don't loose anyone. From one very happy and satisfied customer.

Expensive alcohol pint of coke and a pint of beer £9

I love it here and the food is gorgeous but on mothering Sunday the waitress brought us cauliflower cheese with our meals told her we never ordered it , took it away and then brought it back and said we can have it at a discounted price ! We didn't want it and didn't eat any of it and was still charged for it. The only reason I didn't say anything is my daughter suffers social anxiety and it was mother's day and didn't want to spoil it. Unacceptable to pay for something not ordered and not eaten.
