"We love eating lunch here. We went to celebrate our anniversary and we enjoyed the lunch menu. It's an incredible quality for its price. We specially loved the soup and the fish, they were superb."

"Incredible food, as you'd expect from a Michelin star restaurant. Service was perfect, always there a moment before you need a top up of your glass, or when you wonder when the next course will arrive. Epic food though. The soufflé! The egg! Great atmosphere. But... if it's hot, you'll probably need to ask for the Aircon to be switched on, even if the windows and doors are open. It can get a little toasty."

"The service was impeccable, the food was incredible and the atmosphere was great. We were very well looked after. Great choice of wines."

"We had such a lovely lunch at the Cross. The staff was super friendly and even gave us a special plate for our anniversary. The food was also perfect, I highly recommend the Cross, especially if you have something to celebrate it’s a safe choice!"
