The White Cross

Fantastic pub in a great location by the canal. Never gets uncomfortably busy, but is seldomly quiet. Best selection of beers in Lancaster (and probably beyond). Service always top notch, always an offer to try a beer before purchase.

We came for a lunch, meeting friends 1/2 way on a Saturday. The dining area wasn’t busy at all, and our server was fantastic. We had a lovely, relaxed lunch. A wide variety of food selections. Fish and chips, steak sandwich, super salad, curry and more. The seitan was probably the one thing that was a let down. The toilets could be a bit cleaner and better lit. Overall a good time, decent food, great service, and really good prices!

Stopped off on a canalside walk and greeted by a vast array of ales, great menu and friendly service. Food was excellent and served fairly promptly. Staff all very attentive.

Me and my husband came here for our 6th anniversary hoping for a nice quiet meal. When we arrived at 6:30pm we were informed that it was the quiz night and would have until at least 8:30pm to finish our meals as our table was booked. However when the customer who had booked our table arrived at 8pm we were rushed off by a rude member of staff who came over and cleared away our plates, some of which still had food on that we hadn’t finished eating and were mid mouthful when they approached us. Overall, our meals were both lovely, however, we cannot get over the very poor service and therefore shall not be returning!

Stopped off here on a trip from Liverpool to Durham. 11 hand pulls of real ale and superb pie and mash meal. Cannot recall having anything better, anywhere. Everything made on the premises by a person who really understands food - really tasty meat, great pastry, proper gravy and beautifully silky mash. Worth making a considerable detour to. Nice location on the canal side, comfortable seats, clean loos, highly recommended.

We were seated almost immediately, and the staff were all incredibly attentive to us. The staff in particular were very friendly, and knew their menu extremely well, and answered all of our questions with little hesitation. Our food was served promptly, and it was quite good. Everything costs us about £56 (2 main dishes, 1 soup, 1 side, 1 Guinness pint). [side note: we really enjoyed the guinness.]

Went here for my Dad’s birthday. For the food was so delicious - I got the roasted aubergine, and it was so delicious. My dad got the chicken supreme and also said it was lovely. The service was so attentive, and the staff seemed lovely. Definitely recommend!

Hello, We celebrated the graduation of my daughter at this pub in the middle of July. The stuff was very helpful even we had to change the booking three times because of various reasons. We sat inside, the atmosphere was very cosy, quiet - not like in other pubs when you have to shout to let someone hear you. The food was excellent as well, we ordered a few starters and main course, then dessert. Didn't have to wait long time before it was served. The service was spot on! Starting from when we were welcomed at the entrance and the waitresses looking after us and our guest during all time when we were there! Even to the point when the waitress was apologizing for the service charge included and was emphasising that it was voluntary and could be taken off. I didn't mind, I think the stuff deserved the tips and even a bit more on top of it. Definitely great place to have a dinner, enjoy a time with friends and family and and eat some excellent food! Best regards, Rustam.
