Named after the cross marking the centre of medieval Leicester which has been resited in Jubilee Square nearby, this is a Wetherspoon conversion of a former shop. The room is a large L-shaped area with some changes of level to split it into different areas. The range of guest beers often includes beers from local breweries. There are twice yearly beer festivals as part of national company events. There is an attractive non-smoking enclosed yard at the back.

Historic Interest

Grade II listed, this is the former High Cross Coffee House, built about 1895 and designed by notable local architect and designer Edward Burgess.
