The Golden Cross Hotel

Popped in for lunch with the kids. It’s more pub than restaurant. It’s on a high street, there is parking at the back but you either need cash change or it’s got the parking app which was a right faff and would be so much better if you could just pay contactless card on the machine. Service in the golden cross was good, and quick. lots of food and drink options as usual in a Wetherspoon. Hot drink refills and the machines seem well maintained, one was not working when we arrived and had already been sorted before we left. The food was all nice, best thing from our table’s order seemed to be the boneless chicken bucket. Only thing putting me off was the menus were all sticky.

A friend & I went to lunch . We Sat at table 16 because it was by the door letting some air in as it was really hot. We ordered food. When it came to our table we had just started eating & there was a horrible strong fume smell It was a workman doing a job just outside the doorway with spray & paint . My friend suffers with her breathing anyway so we had to move inside the pub . I mentioned it to a staff member & she just apologized. I think there is a more convenient time to to a job like this not at lunch time.

A couple of quiet drinks on a busy Friday night shift still saw us get served quite quickly with a mix of age groups in this place I've been coming here for years and the interior is basically the same as it always has been and of course there are lots of stairs to get to the toilets but the staff are good and the kitchen was still serving right up until 11 o'clock when the drunk rush piled in for their cheap drinks
