Guaranteed good food and a warm welcome every time we go. Wish they would allow dogs though, then I would come several times a week.

Great Family restaurant with lovely staff and very good chefs. Food has always been top tier every visit. The restaurant could offer some GF options or replacements as well as GF Beer which is why this doesn’t get 5/5

We contacted Garry to enquire about catering for our party on NYE and he couldn’t have been more helpful and efficient. He suggested various canapés followed by a chicken Balti curry (or lamb hotpot) and freshly made pizzas for the teenagers (including gluten free options). Garry arrived early on NYE to set up all of the canapés on wooden serving boards and get the Balti ready to just reheat. The selection was fabulous - gorgeous Yorkshire puddings (made that morning) with beef and horseradish, mustard and honey sausages, brusetta, salmon blinis, olives and more. The chicken Balti was absolutely gorgeous!! Everyone LOVED the food and there were many compliments! Also Garry supplied plates, serviettes snd cutlery - amazing!! I would 100% recommend the excellent and top quality catering provided by Garry from Eighteen The Cross for a home event - next time we’ll have the set up bar Garry!!!! Thank you so much it made the evening perfect and we will be back!!

Well done to Kate and all her team. Very slick booking process for our group of 17. Our meet and greet by the team was lovely, and the quality and price of the food was excellent. Great ambience too. Would thoroughly recommend, and we would return if we were back in the area.

Had first visit last night as part of a table for 4, none of us shall be returning. Firstly, I never thought that any establishment could beat Egos in Stockton Heath for poor acoustics , wrong , this place gave us an almighty headache. Possibly a combination of the fact that everyone in Lymm SHOUTS and the time of year however , we could not engage in any form of conversation whatsoever. One particular table seated in touching distance of us Insisted on yelling constantly blissfully unaware that they were irking everyone despite the occasional and obvious glares. This however is not the reason for the negative review.The vegetarian food options were slim to none. Other than a fast food style plant burger, left a choice of 2 pasta dishes . When the mushroom truffle pasta arrived it was a child size portion, exactly 7 pasta parcels with no sauce or extras , literally tiny when compared to other meals being served however the same price if not more expensive. When mentioned to the server we were informed that they were outsourced to a local Italian chef and handmade. Really ? It’s Pasta. Again , it was pointed out that the portion was so small that the party member had finished and everyone else were still only a fraction of their way through their choices, each meal was so disproportionate. No resolution offered other than giving the usual narrative , will let chef know.Lastly, check your bill carefully. We were charged a double and requested a single Gin . The manager did however take that off the bill when pointed out. Will stick to Elmas across the road next time.

First time eating here. A really great Sunday roast, one of the best I've had in a long time. Good atmosphere, friendly staff although service was a little slow at times as it was very busy, but not a problem. Will definitely return.

Garry and the team hosted our wedding reception a couple of months ago and the restaurant, food, service and ambiance was everything we hoped it would be. Before the wedding we designed our menu to suit our guests needs and were able to offer our guests a choice of meals that covered all the bases. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated with our flowers and tea-lights. On the afternoon / evening, everything ran smoothly and they couldn't have accommodated us more. For reference, we had a party of 42 and the size worked really well for us - with enough room to dance in the evening. Thanks so much.
Possibly the best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had! Gorgeous food, great staff and service. We shall return. Thank you

Garry hosted and catered for my 40th Birthday party at my house, and it was amazing! This service was perfect for a large party of approximately 60 guests. Garry made the whole process so easy beforehand and I found it easy to choose the perfect combination of drinks and food. His service on the night was excellent! Guests were welcomed warmly with a drink on arrival and a fully stocked bar was set up in the garden, under a marquee. The drinks selection was fantastic and included high quality wines and beer on draught. Food included cold deli boards (as served in The Wine Kitchen) and the most delicious hot food, including beef bourguignon and chicken madras. The sticky sausages were a particular highlight! I would highly recommend this service from Garry and Eighteen the Cross as it gave the whole night a ‘proper’ party feel, and added a touch of luxury. Thank you so much!

The food here is great and staff are very friendly, but my favourite part about it are the events. Really loved the jazz night my husband and I attended and had probably the best burrata I’ve ever had outside of Italy. Only suggestion would be some bread or something to go with it as the tomatoes are tasty my preference is always to have a crunchy bite with smoother cheeses.
