🎅 YOUR CHRISTMAS PLANS CALLED… THEY WANT A TABLE AT THE GOLDEN CROSS!

The festive season is creeping closer, and there's no better time to get your Christmas meal sorted!

Whether you're gathering the family, organising the work Christmas do, catching up with friends or simply looking for an excuse to get merry, we'd love to celebrate with you!

And here's something worth celebrating… our Christmas menu is completely Coeliac safe, just like the rest of the food we serve here at The Golden Cross! 🎉

That means you can relax, enjoy delicious food and spend less time worrying about what's on your plate and more time making memories with your favourite people. ❤️

Our Christmas menu is available from 1st December to Christmas Eve.

📞 Want to book? Christmas bookings are handled separately from our usual online booking system, so simply give us a call or pop into the pub and our team will take down your details.

⚠️ Tables are subject to availability, and December gets busy VERY quickly! Don't leave it until the elves are panicking — get your preferred date booked in while you can!

Come and find us in Coventry city centre, just a stone's throw from the Cathedral.

Good food, good company and a little festive magic. What more could you ask for?

Looking for an interactive who-done-it/traitor style game to play in Coventry? Spooky Jo has got another event soon!

She had great reviews from the first one!! NO ONE figured it out!! Can spot who's infected?! Or better yet, can you convince everyone it's not you!!??

Great for a work get together, friends game night or even to meet new people!!

Limited spaces though, so get your tickets quick!

WE’RE IN THE GOOD B**R GUIDE AGAIN! 🍺

Well, someone pass us a pint… because we’ve only gone and done it again!

We’re incredibly proud to be included in the Good B**r Guide 2027, recognising pubs that are worth seeking out for their quality b**r and great pub experience.

Right here in the heart of Coventry City Centre, just a stone’s throw from the Cathedral, we’re proud to be doing what we’ve been doing for centuries… serving good b**r, good food and a warm welcome.

From real ales and local brews to our famously friendly atmosphere (and a building with more history than some of us have had hot dinners!), we reckon there’s plenty to raise a glass to.

So, whether you’re a regular, a real ale enthusiast, a history buff, a hungry coeliac, or just someone who appreciates a proper pub… come and see what all the fuss is about.

Here’s to another year in the guide!

The Golden Cross — keeping Coventry’s pub history alive, one pint at a time.

THE REAL HORROR STORY THIS SPOOKY SEASON?

A plate full of gluten. 😱

For some, it's just another ingredient.

For someone with Coeliac disease, it can be the stuff of nightmares. 💀

That's why here at The Golden Cross, we're proud to be Coeliac friendly.

No scary surprises.
No mysterious ingredients.
No playing "guess what's in my food?"

Just plenty of tasty food that means you can enjoy your meal without the gluten horror story.

And let's be honest... we've already got enough ghosts haunting this old place. 👻 Supposedly!

Gluten doesn't need to be one of them.

No Tricks. Just treats. Book your table and come dine with us.

IT’S HERE… AND CHRISTMAS JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT TASTIER! ✨🎄

The wait is over… our 2026 Christmas Menu is officially LIVE!

And before Santa starts filling his diary, you might want to fill yours!

Christmas Menu bookings are available from 1st December right through to Christmas Eve.

But there’s a few things you may need to note.

Christmas bookings are NOT made through our usual online booking system.

Instead, simply give us a call or pop into the pub and one of our lovely team will take down all the details for your booking. Once your booking has been confirmed by management, we’ll take your deposit.

And don't worry — if plans change, your deposit can be returned as long as you cancel at least 48 hours before your booking.

Bookings are subject to availability — and if previous years are anything to go by, those December tables have a habit of disappearing faster than the pigs in blankets!

So if you’ve got a date in mind, don’t leave it until the Christmas elves remind you… get it booked!

🎄 Christmas parties
🥂 Family get-togethers
🍽️ Work dos
🎅 Friends who only see each other once a year
✨ Or simply an excuse to eat something delicious and feel festive…

Whatever your reason, we’d love to have you join us.

Pop in or give us a call to get your Christmas booking sorted. Head over to our website where you can download the menu for a printer friendly version.

And remember… Christmas waits for no one, and neither do our tables! 🎄😉

👀 DID YOU SPOT US?! 🍻

We’ve had a little bit of a “well, would you look at that!” moment… 👀

The Golden Cross in Coventry has been featured in an online magazine article celebrating “The Proper Pubs of Coventry: 7 Independent Heritage Taverns Free from Corporate Fluff” — and we’re very proud to be one of them! 🥰🍺

We love being part of Coventry’s pub scene, so it’s brilliant to see our little piece of history getting some love.

But now we’re wondering…

Did you see the article? 👀
Have you spotted The Golden Cross in there yet?
