Golden Cross, Coventry

Attractive looking corner pub near the cathedral. Golden Cross ale and Adnams Ghost Ship on which were fine. Worth a visit.

Good Beer Guide Tick #2 in Coventry. Architecturally stunning medieval building next to the cathedral... somehow surviving the blitz. Inside its had a posh makeover - making it near gastro. Four to five real ale pumps on. The Adnams Ghost Ship was in slightly better than average condition. Nothing to make this stand out. Visit Blogged at http://bit.ly/2P0EwkX

One of Coventry's finest old buildings that somehow escaped the blitz, and thankfully reopened as a pub following a prolonged period of closure. However, the interior comes as something of a surprise, as the decor is definitely modern (although, to be fair, it works quite well with the retained heritage features). There is also a discreet modern extension at the back, housing the kitchen, etc. Three of four handpumps in operation, dispensing a 'house' ale, Waggle Dance and a very good Church End Stout Coffin (£3.50).
