The Golden Cross Public House — Restaurant in England

I recently visited The Golden Cross, and I can’t stop raving about it! This charming English country pub is a hidden gem that offers a delightful dining experience. The food is simply outstanding. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavour, showcasing the best of local ingredients.

The portions are impressively generous—seriously, you won’t leave hungry! I had the Bangers and Mash, and it was packed with tender meat with a rich, authentic sauce. My partner enjoyed the hearty fish and chips, which came with a mountain of crispy chips and fresh peas.

I wouldn't visit again or recommend it, and I'd advise that they either offer a proper dining experience with table service or just be like a spoons so you order it all at the bar, pay upfront and get a...

This pub used to be fantastic. Food was always fab. It was hard to get a table especially on a weekend as it was so busy. We have eaten once here since the so calked refurb and the food was not at all great ir how it used to be. We went in Sunday lunchtime for a just a drink and there was one family eating! Place was bare and baron and looked empty. We sat outside in the very tired looking unkept garden. The chef/manager was just wondering around with a fag hanging out of his mouth wiping sweat off himself and didn’t apoear at all engaging.this place was shut down for a v long time for a so called refurb but it looks worse now than before and just unkept and dead. Very very sad to see a once busy and popular...
