We're relieved and delighted to be re-opening (again!). Initially, there will still be indoor social distancing regulations in place which means there are fewer places available than previously. Reservations for the restaurant to avoid disappointment will be almost certainly be necessary. Please contact us via email on info@goldencrosshotel.co.uk to secure your booking.
The hotel is also open once more. Please use the booking widget below to make your reservation. Lovely, new-season, locally-sourced menu now online. Comfortably nestling in Shrewsbury's historic town centre, The Golden Cross Hotel offers a whimsically glamorous alternative for visitors bored with the tame impersonality of chain hotels. We welcome anyone who loves character and quirkiness and has a healthy appetite for delicious food.
An intoxicating mix of the best of contemporary interiors sprinkled liberally with shabby chic and antique glamour, our mission at The Golden Cross is simple: we offer a 'home from home'. We think we've made The Golden Cross into something special.

Michael was a retired National Hunt jockey and the couple were popular hosts, remaining at the inn for many years.
Within a few months of their tenancy a problem arose when a section of the public wanted an end to the "Men Only" bar, which had been a tradition at the Golden Cross since time immemorial.
When the locals heard that their sanctuary was to lose its status, seventy male customers signed as petition of protest, which was sent to the brewery by the landlord.
A compromise was reached with the "Men Only" bar functioning on weekdays, but with the ladies being allowed in at weekends, a situation that continued for a number of years.

Glistening, crunchy fruit and vegetables still drunk on the morning dew, fish with the mermaid's song barely out of their lips, the smoke of barbecues lingering long after sunset.

We've tried to make them into a celebration of edgy glamour and individuality that will be appreciated by our discerning guests.
Over the centuries The Golden Cross has undergone many transformations and been, variously, sacristy, ale-house, tavern, Royalist retreat and a 19th century takeaway sausage shop!
The current transformation has taken it beyond the wildest dreams of its medieval builders.
We hope you enjoy what we've created and that these pictures hurry your decision to come and visit us soon.
