Real ale discount scheme

A sprawling early 20th century pub on ground floor and basement levels. Low ceilings nonetheless make for an intimate atmosphere, although TV sports are available. The downstairs bar, used for overflow at busy times, is available for functions. There is a wide food offering including pub classics, Sunday roasts and a kids' menu. See venue website for meal deals.

The name Silver Cross is recorded in an 1861 document referred to in British History Online but at some time after the Great War the pub sign was changed to display the Canadian Memorial Cross medal, first presented in 1919 to mothers of fallen Canadian forces members and nursing sisters.

The pub was renovated in early 2024 to a high standard, reportedly costing a six-figure sum. The old sign was replaced by a new one depicting King Charles II with a King Charles spaniel head. The previous sign showing the Silver Cross is in our photo.

Historic Interest

The original 1674 tavern was given a brothel keeper’s licence by King Charles II for services rendered. This was never revoked, so it could be said that this is the only (non-operating) legal licensed brothel in the country.
