WOW! This place has the WOW factor!
It has recently reopened…read more(Used to be called the Golden Cross) and it is ace! Lots of snooks - some with armchairs, all with open fires make this a great place for chilling out with friends, or someone special.
The whole building is made of solid wood - it really gives the idea of a quality place.
The staff are pretty friendly and welcoming, and tables are cleared quickly.
The garden is MASSIVE! and again, all solid wood furniture and decking - it really looks like a quality place.
There are no heaters in the garden, but in the summer, it will be a complete sun trap and I think it will be busy!
The toilets are up two flights of stairs, so don't leave it until you're desperate!!!
This is a Samuel Smiths pub, and as such, don't expect to get anything that is branded in this pub - but actually, it's nice to have a change and Samuel Smiths' cider is lovely..!!
I'm going back soon for food, so I'll report back again after that!!
