Cross Inn — Restaurant in Wales

I wanted to feel like we had found a place to go and continue to go but unfortunately we didn’t really feel welcome. At first we were greeted by a lady behind the bar who was lovely and welcoming and I have no complaints about her. However, when it came to ordering our food the waitress approached and asked if we were ready to order, at that point we hadn’t even looked at the menu. We asked if we could have 5 more minutes to look at the menu, we were trying to settle and occupy a 2 year old and a 10 year old before deciding what we wanted. The waitress looked disgruntled and said yes okay but we need the table by 19:15, we had booked the table for 5 and arrived 10 minutes before. My partner said to the waitress that we would definitely be gone by then because we have a 2 year old to settle. This did annoy me and if it wasn’t for the fact that my children were there and were hungry I would have left. I think she realised how rude it was because she did apologise and say sorry for rushing us. I appreciated the apology but I hope there is a lesson learned here. I know it’s just a job to them but I do think there should be a level of consideration and understanding of other people’s circumstances. We have recently moved to the area and our young children are also settling into their new surroundings, I just hope that another family doesn’t have to feel the way we initially felt. I’m sure the waitress reflecting on the situation wouldn’t have wanted us to feel this way and the free ice cream did help slightly however, we won’t be returning. I know from the level of detail I’ve provided that they will know the exact customer that has posted this review and I hope they think next time before rushing a customer with...

What an amazing little find. Booked for my mums 89th Birthday as we were staying down the road in Lydstep Haven. On entry in the bar a lovely warm welcome. And then the waitress tended to our needs amazingly. My mum is elderly and I use cancer as I have incurable cancer plus other things. This lady was absolutely wonderful. When our meals came, well how can I say it, they were humongous, could easily have fed 4 people. About the food now, I'm very finicky and like my steak well done, I would rather it be like charcoal than to see any pink. What cab I say, it's not many places that can cook a well done steal to perfection, but this was just falling apart and melted in my mouth, the same for mum but she likes it medium rare. I asked the waitress if she would pass my compliments to the chef and told her what I've written above. She was over the moon, as that night (16th September 2023), the waitress daughter was the chef. I wish I could of given her more than compliments because like I said, the steak was to die for. Would definitely recommend this place and as we only live 60 miles away, will definitely pop in for food another day. Thank you for giving my mum a wonderful birthday, neither of us will ever forget it. Unfortunately my memory is poor for names, and for the life of me I can't remember the waitresses name, but I'm sure she will know who we are, as she said my mum and I reminded her of her mum and herself, who...

We came here following a recommendation from the in-laws, who stopped near here for a week and came back twice (and now I can see why). Honestly, the menu really is one of those proper ‘salt of the earth’ lineups, whereby they’ve done away with any corporate nonsense and just kept in line with the beautiful Welsh countryside aesthetic. While a good sized front with benches and beautiful views to the sea, the inside is small but makes for a better and cosier atmosphere (especially on a rainy night like tonight!) The staff were fantastic from start to finish - helpful, friendly and always available if you needed. Our mains were beautifully cooked and the portions were huge, so it was absolutely excellent value for money. They also had cakes in glass cases which always adds a nice cosy touch when browsing desserts. One thing I’d add - I’d advise booking in advance, it does get busy and booked up quickly (always a great sign). Parking can be tricky, however, if you can’t find a space on the area on the same road as the pub which is free, there is street parking (although park on wide sections as it can get narrow!) Overall, the chilli con carne was £11.00, the 8oz sirloin was £20.00, so it was superb value for money and somewhere I’d highly recommend to anyone in the region. Thanks guys,...
