I love the Golden Cross and is my favourite restaurant in Shrewsbury except for the Peach Tree.

Me and y family have known the owners of this restaurant for many years and have been going to the golden cross since its been open, the food has always been splendid and the service, marvelous. although i must admit that the prices make it quite hard for us to dine there too regularly, we enjoy eating there on special occasions (mothers day, fathers day, birthdays...etc)

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.

Very good food in a small but cosy and romantic setting. Intriguing menu meant my first visit was not going to be my last - if you think the only really good restaurants are French or Italian you won't be disappointed here.

Always great food, and always a very welcoming and warm atmosphere. I can't recommend the Golden Cross more highly. I've been there for quiet lunches and with all the family for celebrations... the restaurant is perfect for either. Good pudding wine too!

This is one of my favourite restaurants in town and a group of us have a booking soon. Top Marks.

While the food sometimes disappoints (uniformity of texture and taste, perhaps many dishes or sauces prepared in advance?), the atmosphere and warmth of the owners always compensates

One of my favorite Shrewsbury restaurants, the food is consistently imaginative, well cooked and made with tasty fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy, relaxed and comfortable and the prices very reasonable considering how good the food is.

I visited recently with a friend for a mid week lunch. The dining room is quite small but cosy and lovingly furnished - this place is as interesting on the inside as it looks from the outside.

We both went for the steak sandwich - lots of juicy steak, home made chips and dressed salad. Not cheap but the food is good and the surroundings comfortable. I will happily return.
