The Golden Cross is the oldest public house in Shrewsbury, with an unbroken tradition of hospitality stretching back to 1428. The Golden Cross is a family-run inn that serves contemporary and traditional food, traditional beers and spirits, and a mouth watering wine list. Accommodation is also available
I went here wth my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday recently and it was a superb dining experience, and really the first complete meal I've had in Shrewsbury where the food lives up to the restaurant's aspirations. The menu contained a good selection of choices that lived up to their billing - my shallot tarte tatin in particular was great (though I didn't think the celeriac that came with it was needed, the tomatoes were enough/perfect). The wine list was also great - we had a lovely bottle of cotes du rhone. What stood out for us was the ambience generated through the excellent interior design - it was a pleasant place to be. We will definitely be returning.
