We had such a lovely lunch at the Cross. The staff was super friendly and even gave us a special plate for our anniversary. The food was also perfect, I highly recommend the Cross, especially if you have something to celebrate it’s a safe choice!

The service was impeccable, the food was incredible and the atmosphere was great. We were very well looked after.Great choice of wines.

Highly recommend. We had a very enjoyable lunch. Great food, wine and top notch service.

I was very happy with my vegan dishes. Will certainly return if visiting that area again.

Really excellent food and service. The artichoke salad was fantastic and the venison just melted in the mouth. Deserves the Michelin star but I'm not sure I can stomach these prices for what you get.

Beautiful food great surroundings and very attentive staff thoroughly enjoyed it.

A fabulous place to spend a special meal! Food was of the highest calibre, service effortlessly welcoming and a joy to be around. Would strongly recommend!

Wonderful dining experience. The food and the staff were amazing. We couldn't fault it in any way. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Fantastic tasting menu lunch!Today my wife and I went to The Cross. Honestly, I’ve been meaning to go for a couple of years. It’s always looked very good and when I saw my friend Chef Pierre Koffman say it was top it’s been on the list.We weren’t disappointed.First up canapés. The least good course. Cheese balls. Very nice mind. Creamy gooey cheese encase in a crisp batter with either apple or Mayo.Next up, wild garlic soup with a couple of bits of potato in the bottom. Delicious soup. Great consistency, although slightly over seasoned. I felt it could do with another layer of flavour although it really is good as it is. It comes with a ham hock croquette, which were also good but didn’t feel like it complemented the soup. The croquettes may be better as a second canapé.Tuna tartar in yuzu and sesame was next, and it’s just absolutely great. I do a similar dish myself taken from Koffman classic book. The addition of a sesame Mayo is excellent and works really well. Personally I could take more yuzu perhaps a couple of squirts or yuzu gel?A crispy duck egg with hispi cabbage peas and bacon is next, and it’s just spring/summer on a plate. I would love some mint running through the dish for extra layer of flavour, but the creaminess of the perfectly cooked duck egg is just fantastic.I hope by the way you’ve brought stretchy trousers!!We’re on to our fish course next with cod, potato musseline and cabbage with salmon hiding underneath the cod. That cabbage was essential here adding flavour and texture. It is perhaps cliche, but I felt a whack of dill in this would have elevated it to perfection.And now it’s your main course. Fillet beef with Roscoff onion and celeriac, and a peppercorn sauce. Loved the sauce; peppercorn sauce should have a heat to it and this did, while remaining creamy and not over powering. Their triple cooked chips are a stunning accompaniment. However, my beef was over cooked. While it was pink on the top (as seen in photo) I think perhaps the heat of the plate cooked through the rest of the fillet. Notwithstanding that, it was still yummy.As for desert, their headline is their soufflé and I was gutted they’ve changed it to hazelnut rather than dark chocolate. So I changed that to floating island, a classic French desert which is always a great end to a meal and their version was classic.At £95 pp for the tasting menu, I think it is correctly priced for the superb quality of food - and amount - that you’re getting.The other dish featured here is the kids fish and chips, which frankly were some of the best F&C I’ve tasted. Bravo. Kept my 3 year old eating!The only negative? The drinks are on the expensive side. I don’t drink alcohol, but £6.50 for a Becks Blue 330ml is extraordinary really. However, yearning over the wine list tells me that they do truly have some great wines on offer, and they seemed better value than the other drinks (eg gins and soft drinks).Overall, this place is highly recommended and I’d certainly go again (assuming their menu is seasonal as I believe it is).
