The Crossing 50 High Street, Burton upon Trent, Burton-on-trent DE14 1JS

"Lovely pub. V popular for a Thursday lunchtime. £5 menu is a great bargain. Dancing duck beer always goes down a treat"

"Second time here and we got served by the delightful Lizzie again. This girl is customer service at it's best, her whole personality is a happy,helpful funny individual. We just had the cheap menu but the quality and portion size amazing. Nothing too much trouble, the establishment very clean and well thought out. We live in tamworth but we park in the library car park which leads to some nice walks then go here for lunch. Just keep doing what your doing because it works. We will definitely be regulars."

"Excellent food and service - although it was a bit slow. The interior design is stylish and arty. There's even a saw and hammer dangling from the ceiling! Some of the seating is reminiscent of Louis XIV chairs."

"There is nothing bad I can say about this gem! It was my 50th birthday we ventured into this hidden jem on my birthday afternoon just for a couple of pints. The decor is lovely very shabby chic, but what most stood out, was the extremely friendly bar person called Hannah, such a lovely person very friendly and chatty I told her it was my birthday she wished me a happy day We also had a good chat, she gave us the menu to have a look at because I didn't know where I was going to be going for dinner for my birthday, I have to say I have not seen a menu so varied, the descriptions of the foods that were on the menu looked so good I really felt like I needed to try this so we booked for my 50th birthday meal at the crossing. On arrival the lovely Kira as if we booked to which we replied we had she found us our table and then brought us I complimentary bottle of prosecco with strawberries! So yes I'm already sold because well.... Free alcohol and who doesn't love prosecco and strawberries come on! I ordered the hanging chicken kebab with the pork chips bucket my husband ordered the fish finger sandwich which is no ordinary fish finger sandwich I must say, and the fire cracker chip bucket. I was absolutely blown away when she bought the meals to us, presentation was absolutely amazing, I had a plate full of salad with slaw, and hanging above it was this gorgeous looking charcoal grilled chicken kebab! I have to say I have never had anything that tasted so good other than at this place! I don't usually actually leave reviews, when places are mediocre, but this place just completely blew me away! The food is amazing the staff are polite, easy going friendly, just can't do enough for you. My husband described his meal as outstanding! As a fish finger sandwich goes this was the most posh I'd ever seen! We also had a cocktail which were equally amazing such a lovely taste. From start to finish the experience of this lovely pub was a tantalising taste bud tickling wonderful gem of a place which I would highly recommend to anybody in the area to try. You will not be disappointed! Well done the crossing You deserve 10 stars not 5. Best wishes from Helen. 50 today lol x"
