This is a restaurant, where drinking alcohol, including draught and bottled beer, is only allowed when food is being consumed.
Reputed to be the oldest inn in town still in use. Known as the Sextry in 1495 due to its connections with old St Chads Church across the road, it has been the Golden Cross since 1780.
Once a classic two room pub, there has been little structural alteration, but it is now a comfortable restaurant with a reputation for quality food. Both rooms are always laid out for meals, but drinkers are welcome outside the peak serving times (however, note that beer prices are somewhat higher than what one may expect). The decor is a little cluttered, though it suits the bistro feel the venue is trying to generate. Some might say it is wasted in its current role, it is potentially a gem of a pub.
Historic Interest
The Golden Cross stands at the end of one of the many 'shuts' or passages linking the town's roads, It is now called Golden Cross Passage, being named after the pub in 1795 (prior to that it was Steel Yard Shut). At the other end of the passage used to be another pub, the Anchor (later Atkins Vaults) which closed in 1910.
