About The Venue

The White Cross opened in 1880 as a coaching inn and has kept its original gabled row design since the Victorian era. As a Grade II listed building, it preserves features like wooden beams and brass fixtures that define its industrial style. The space uses low lighting with warm tones, creates high noise levels, and fills quickly during peak times. This setting works well for lunchtime use or evening socialising across multiple days.
