The Crosby

Walked to Crosby from Union Mills along the old railway line; after an amazing couple of hours in the park opposite (alongside Costa) we went to the Crosby pub which is often recommended to us and we’re glad we did. We had drinks & our five year old played in the small play area - toys, books and a small teepee - it’s a nice family friendly atmosphere in the restaurant and lounge side. There were more people in the bar area across the other side of the pub. They were in good spirits enjoying the Bank Holiday BUT it wasn’t raucous or loud. Our son ordered his own hot chocolates and the staff were very kind and patient with him. They were apologetic that they’d ran out of marshmallows for his second hot chocolate. We didn’t have food this time but I noticed there’s a couple of “plant based” options so hopefully they are cooked separately for vegans. The view is gorgeous looking out over Co-Op, plenty of rolling hills. We’ll definitely be back for another drink and food if it’s available. Recommend this pub for families & people who just want a reasonably priced drink in the countryside.
