Best British Restaurants in Napton on the Hill

One of our favourite restaurants food, service & setting never ceases to amaze you amaze

Delicious New Year Brunch 🤤, great restaurant setting, beautiful ladies-room. Unfortunately my order of an extra immunity smoothie got forgotten and the Aircon was put on on the request of the middle table guests (6 people) who were wearing their coats and jackets while eating 🤔 making us freezing cold for our dessert. 😔

Always a pleasure especially at this time of year. It’s become a family tradition

Booked as a Christmas treat as a romantic evening and the Cross delivered, absolutely on point with everything. The location is unassuming from the outside but is beautiful once you enter. Plenty of space for pre drinks before you enter the dining room. Whilst the dining room is intimate, you aren’t sat too close to other tables which tends to leave you feeling awkward in some fine dining establishments. The service was excellent with fantastic attention to detail. Before we ordered from the three course A là Carte, the Amuse-bouche and bread shared by the kitchen were both an absolute treat. The December menu that we were lucky enough to select from was outstanding. The duck egg for starters was a particular treat and we both had the fillet of beef cooked over coals - all elements outstanding with particular praise to the tartlet of beef check, perfectly executed. The deserts, we choose the Hazelnut praline Soufflé and the black forest gateau. I loved both but note the gateau packs a punch with its flavour, again something that was fantastic for me but could be a little too sweet/sour for others. Overall, you can’t go wrong with the Cross which I believe, was excellent value for money.

We had a really nice meal,the server was fantastic and very helpful,and the restaurant not too crowded and really relaxing.Food was very good and well seasoned and spiced,devilled kidneys perfect ,but alittle too much salt in the rabbit,which was also very good.oysters were perfect,my wife had moules ,perfect,her lemon sole a little bland,but then lemon sole is.overall,most enjoyable and really pleasant meal.
