. . . so much more than a back street pub . . . In the shadow of the parish church tower and just a short stroll from Cirencester’s historic market place, The Golden Cross Inn offers a warm welcome to all, from visitors seeking a satisfying pint of ale to discerning diners searching out contemporary British cuisine, and of course to those weary travellers looking for a clean and comfortable night’s rest.

While the Inn itself dates from the mid-17th Century, The Golden Cross of today has become well known as a welcoming hostelry offering high levels of service, great contemporary food, good company and comfortable, flexible and well-equipped bedrooms and suites, including a family apartment.

Its central location makes The Golden Cross an ideal base for exploring Cirencester's historic back streets with their eclectic boutiques, galleries, coffee shops and more, while the award-winning Corinium Museum is situated just a stone's throw from our front door.

The Golden Cross Inn is also renowned for its excellent pub food, with the dining room offering some of the best contemporary British cooking in the Cotswolds. Add a convivial bar with real ales, a wide-ranging wine list and a great selection of single malt whiskies, and we think you’ve found the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the magic of Cirencester and the Cotswolds.

At the Golden Cross Inn we’re proud to offer some of the finest
pub dining in Cirencester and its environs, prepared by our dedicated and professional kitchen crew. Our breakfasts are second to none and are sure to set you up for the day, while the pub's lunch and dinner menus offer fine food in an informal dining environment. Larger parties can be catered for in our function room at the rear of the property, and in the summer the garden beckons as an ideal venue for an al fresco lunch, barbecue or early supper.

In addition to its convivial bar and lounge The Golden Cross Inn
has a cellar to be proud of, for its real ales and its extensive
wine list. The Arkell’s pub offers three traditionally-brewed real ales on tap at all times. The wide-ranging wine list is mostly available by the glass, and the bar offers one of the widest selections of single malt whiskies in town. Add to this a beer garden that doubles as a sun trap and a great town-center location and you’ve found perhaps the finest watering place in the Cotswolds.
