The Golden Cross

Superb welcome when entering the pub. Nothing is too much trouble. Manager/Owners really welcomes people to this lovely public house in Black Jack Street, Cirencester. Staff equally accommodating and friendly. Beer priced very reasonably in these tough economic times.

Not a nice place to stay. Toilet not clean from previous residents, really unpleasant. No working light in the room other than the bedside light. Very low grade room overall with cramped bathroom. Staff polite and friendly though, hence 2 star instead of 1. Should be much cheaper for this quality.

Booked for friends double birthday. Shared starters - oxo cubes with horseradish sauce. These are so good!!!!!!! Three had roast beef, one chicken and one pork. All came with HUGE Yorkshire pudding - massive tick! But the general consensus was the carrots - a revelation!!!! How you can cook whole large carrots and they come out perfectly done with the flavour of star anise and…….. carrot - perfection!!! Thank you for the best Sunday lunch.

We stayed at the Golden Cross for one night. We had a double priced at £100 without breakfast for two. We had to file past a busy bar with our luggage to get to a desk to check in. Then file back past the busy bar to get upstairs to the room. A pain when you have a largish bag. The bathroom was tiny - nowhere to hang the towel. The basin was also minute. The basin's tap in contrast was large and could not be opened fully as it hit the wall so I could only get tepid water out of it. The loo seat was too small for the loo - so there was a gap between the pan and the seat. The sheets had not been ironed and had stains on them - coffee by the looks of it. One of the hand towels had a red stain on it. There is a side entrance for residents (once you have the keys). Not the easiest of doors to open and when we left, we just dropped the keys into a letterbox. I will never stay there again.

Had a great relaxing drink in the courtyard, in this lovely quiet town centre location - just off the pretty Black Jack Street. Good, well kept Arkells beers and cider. Pub nice, and especially outdoor seating on a hot day.

Great Sunday roast. Perfectly cooked, and served by friendly efficient staff. It is dog friendly and popular so it pays to book in advance. This is the first time we have been since The Golden Cross came under new management and we will definitely return.

We visited on a Friday lunchtime, the staff were very friendly( especially our server Noah) and to top it off the food was amazing. A lovely atmosphere...... keep doing what you're doing, we loved it. Xxx

Was unsure about this place in the beginning but the staff did not disappoint. They were all incredibly friendly and helpful! To top it all off the beer was outstanding standing. I definitely recommend even if it is just for a nice cold pint 🍺

Well, where do i start ! Firstly, I was staying here with my husband for my birthday and the pub with guest rooms was situated in an excellent position right in the centre of town. although we didnt stay here with our 4 dogs, we are obviously dog lovers and were happy that the pub was dog friendly and had its own resident dog. the staff were very friendly on our arrival. From then on, everything went downhill. Room 2 was a good size but the bathroom was TINY with black mould around the minute shower cubicle. The metal bed creaked all night long every time we turned over. We went out to eat on Saturday night & returned to the pub at 10.15pm with the thought of having a drink in the bar before retiring to our room. The pub was in complete darkness with the resident dog barking its tits off in the window. ALL NIGHT LONG that dog barked, On & on, I looked at my clock at 3am & it was still barking. Finally waking extremely sleep deprived on Sunday morning (my actual birthday) our day was ruined & rather than staying in Cirencester for the morning, we couldnt wait to pack our bags & drive home. My birthday was spent in bed catching up on sleep.
