Golden Cross

The Golden Cross is a Grade II* listed pub in Shrewsbury with a medieval framework containing four bedrooms that blend traditional architecture with modern comfort. The interior combines original features with antique decorations and contemporary furnishings throughout.

The pub originated roughly 700 years ago and stands as the oldest of its kind in Shrewsbury with its original structure preserved. It adapted to modern hospitality standards over time while keeping its historical character intact.

The pub sources ingredients from local markets, using Shropshire vegetables, game, and cheeses in menus that change monthly. How the kitchen works with regional products shows a long connection to the surrounding countryside.

The pub welcomes visitors for meals from Wednesday through Saturday at midday, with additional Sunday lunch service available. Its central location on Princess Street makes it easy to access, and the rooms work as both lodging and dining spaces.

The medieval cellar holds an extensive collection of wines, local real ales, and ciders. These underground rooms reveal the building's original function as a drinking establishment that has survived through the centuries.
