What U1303DXdavidw likes about Shave Cross Inn:
Drove past this pub and decided to return for lunch.Lovely setting,thatched pub and lovely beer garden with wishing well, great for kids.Lunch is a range of well made large sandwiches. Frankly big enough for 2 and very good value as well as tasty.Good range of real ales, including a Gyle 59 fro brewery only a couple of miles away. Well kept by Tom, the friendly landlord.Well worth a visit! View all feedback.
