Crosspool Tavern, Cross Pool

Well it's almost a year on from the last review and I can honestly say it came up trumps for us.

We hadn't been there before and used it as a stop-off for something to eat on the way home after a weekend break.

As for being expensive, we definately didn't experience that. I opted for the turkey curry (which I except may have been a prepared one) and got a free pint of Carling included for 4.99. My partner and three kids went for the really tasty-looking carvery, which cost her 3.50 and 3.25 each for the children, even though the one was over the kids age limit (and looks it). In hindsight, I wish I had gone for the same, as theit meals looked beautiful with real generous servings of meat. I stuck with the one pint I had with my curry, but did notice that the lager was cheaply priced, which one costing 1.95 and even the Export (think was Carlsberg) was only 2.30. If you can see that cheaper anywhere else then please let me know. For everything, including drinks and deserts, the cost came to just under 35 pounds.

Also, the customer service was polite and friendly. The car park was full when we went on a lunchtime, indicating to me if there was something wrong before, then it must have surely been sorted out now.

Total thumbs up.
