Best Casual Restaurants in Wroxall

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.

Food was great and drinks amazing, the person that served us incredibly nice and fun, however the person that brought the drinks was a bit off when we asked for the ice to be removed from one drink. Also, I received a pink panther drink that came with a steamy dry ice and when I asked if I should do anything about that as I didn’t know if I should pour that int he drink she turned her back, I assumed she didn’t hear me. In the future is better when you serve this drink to let people know that is just a decoration thing as not everyone knows and accidents may happen. Information is key.

Booked the private room for Christmas Day. Fantastic service, the food was great. A better experience than we could have imagined. Thank you so much.

Good food at a fair price in a lively atmosphere. Prawns as a starter were standout.

Fantastic roast served and cooked by fantastic people! Thank you so much
