When it’s all lit up, The Golden Cross in the city centre looks like the most homely place to eat. The exterior is a lovely Tudor building (one of the only buildings still standing after the WWII Bombings) and the interior is the perfect comfy atmosphere that everyone aims to get in their home. The staff are so friendly, the people who frequent it are absolutely fantastic to chat with and the food isn’t half bad either – the venue does the best pub food you’ll ever eat.
