ABOUT OLD CROSS TAVERN
OVER 20 YEARS
Created out of a former antique shop front, The Old Cross Tavern opened in May 1999 with a desire to maintain the classic traditions of British pubs both in atmosphere and serving real ales in top condition.
Our beers come from an amazing wide range of British breweries brewing ales of exceptional quality and diversity of styles. There are 8 hand pumps with 6-7 in use most of the time. Our beers usually change daily with beers of differing tastes, styles and strengths available on any given day.
YOU NAME IT, WE SERVE IT!
BEERS
Beers that are light, hoppy, bitter, malty, fruity, chocolaty, spicy, gingery, herbal and coffee-flavoured with colours across the spectrum (pale, golden, copper, chestnut, amber, brown, ruby and dark). There is something for everyone to sample from sessionable pints of English bitter, green hopped IPAs, elderflower brews, and dark milds to imperial stouts.

OUR DRINKS
Check our ‘Coming Soon’ display of pump clips of beers on the premises and in the queue for ‘next up’ on to the stillage and then the hand pumps.
Timothy Taylor’s Brewery award-winning ‘Landlord’ beer – classic ale with a golden amber colour (abv 4.3%) is a regular fixture on the bar. There is almost always a dark beer (milds, stouts, porters) on the hand pumps for those who like to sample the dark arts of brewers.
These include Belgian, German wheat and non-alcoholic beers. In the Belgian beer range, the choices cover Trappist, traditional, honey, dark and fruit beers (cherry, mango, strawberry, and raspberry).
