The Golden Cross is the oldest pub in Coventry (One of the oldest in The Midlands). Built circa 1583, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st and established as a public house circa 1661, during the reign of Charles II (The year of his coronation). The Golden Cross boasts traditional Tudor features which include: jettied upper floors with exposed beams, the pub also features a Dragon Beam which makes it possible for the jettied floors to go around the corners. These historic features alone makes it worthwhile visiting The Golden Cross.

We don’t do SKY we don’t do BT Sport, but what we do is, convivial conversation, serve real ales from far and wide, a great selection of Gins from around the world, fabulous lagers, great ciders, a comprehensive wine list, wide choice of spirits, including local Gins, a selection of international bottled beers, soft drinks and of course teas and coffees.

Our Food is all Traditional Homemade British Cuisine, some with a subtle twist. Our kitchen is also completely gluten free. Here at the Golden Cross, we have made it our mission to cater for people with dietary requirements. We are gradually making more things dairy free and cutting out the major 14 allergens when possible. As we make all of our dishes on site, if anyone has any specific requirements we will do our best to cater for them.
