I loved it here, we stayed on the nights of 29 and 30 December for a quick pre NYE break. We got a…read more2 nights for the price of one deal provided that we ate in the restaurant both nights. I was relaxed from the moment we turned up, massively hungover from a wedding the night before, but the staff and all the people in the pub were really laid back and friendly and the bacon and tomato ciabatta healed me almost immediately. For dinner that night I started with a bloody mary (10/10), then had scallops, follwed by hake fillet with white beans and chorizo and sherry jelly. All really good and reasonably priced. We were feeling a bit better the next day and went shopping in Bath and to the spa. As a result we were more prepared for a proper dinner. I had a bloody mary to start again, then smoked haddock and leek risotto. We had a free glass of English white wine with the starters, which was really good (of which more later). I had phesant for main course, which was alright, but the cauliflour cheese side dish was great especially when mixed with my chestnut mash. I had an apple pie sort of thing for dessert and then coffee and petit fours then a double brandy while sitting on the massive comfy sofas and reading the internet. Breakfast both days was excellent, including duck eggs from ducks that actually live at the pub. The English wine we were given was for sale as it was from a vinyard round the back of the pub. It was also really cheap given the quality of it so we bought 6 bottles. A great place and highly recommended.

I often find that you cannot judge a pub by its exterior. We were pleasantly surprised this afternoon. I don't know who put the spaniel by the door, but it was the perfect welcome! :) Welcome at the bar, not crowded but very cosy with a lovely open fire. We were guided to a lovely table by the fire which was perfect. We had a lovely lunch too. My wild boar sausages with leek and herbs were fantastic, all meat and no filler I could detect. The mash was yummy and the gravy. The veggies were water logged but I don't hold that against them. (my meal was less than £9.) My companion ate ham, egg and chips and it looked good. The puds that arrived at the table next door looked pretty good and were appreciated. Hobgoblin on tap, Butcombe bitter amongst others. The landlords are really friendly and I look forward to coming back again sometime soon. Oh, they have a field at the back to hire for events. What is the bike doing up on the stake?

A lovely local pub in Winterbourne Down…read more This has been my family's local pub for around 20 years and it hasn't changed one bit. It's still as charming, still has the same locals, still the same landlord and, I think, still the same roaring log fire. The Cross Hands doesn't do food, but it does do lots of guest ciders, ales and a brilliant atmosphere. The landlord and landlady (Pete and Lesley) are great (Pete is the spitting image of Peter Stringfellow - with open shirt and hairy chest) and make you feel like part of the furniture - which can make leaving quite difficult at times! Friday nights are good fun. Typical local pub style. A bit of cheese on the jukebox and a good mix of young'ens and old'ens to keep it interesting from one end of the pub to the other. But the best thing about this pub isn't its huge back garden. It isn't the fact you can use one of their massive BBQ's and bring your own meat/food. It isn't even the regular events they hold in the summer with live bands and cider in boxes. The best thing about the Cross Hands is the pub dog. A beautiful Staffordshire Bull terrier who has the gentlest demeanour and wonderful personality. She'll pin her belly to the ground and wiggle her way over to say hello. All the while snorting like a little pig. She has her own arm chair and sits with the locals who play cards on the big round table from 4pm every day. This is a lovely little boozer that has a huge garden for the summer and wonderful warm log fire for the winter. As it is out of town, you can knock 40-80p off the price of pint. A must if you're in the area.

The 3 story pub has lovely, warm, very British ambience. The Raven's food has a strong focus on hot pies, with a nice selection including Steak N Ale, Venison, Chicken, Beef N Cheese, Jackfruit, and Mushroom. My venison pie was delicious! The gamey meat was tender and succulent. I accidently ate into my wife's jackfruit pie...it was so good that I mistakenly thought it was my venison pie! £20 for any hot pie 'LOADED' which came with chips or Mash, plus heaps of roast vegetables and seasonal greens. It'll fill you up, and deliciously! Side Story: they accidently gave my wife a Chicken Pie instead of the Jackfruit Pie. The staff was so overwhelming apologetic about the error, and they refunded our ENTIRE bill! We said a small discount or just her pie being comped would've been more than fine, but they insisted on refunding the entire amount.
