The Three Legged Cross, once a sprawling working farmhouse nestled within an expansive 83-acre estate, retains the charming aesthetics of its historic origins. Funnily enough, historical records reveal that in 1919, the inn changed hands for a rather modest sum - a mere £83, equating to a meagre £1 per acre for the entire property! What an absolute bargain for this beautiful country pub. The Three Legged Cross extends a warm welcome to all four-legged friends and provides water and treats to ensure their comfort during your visit. Inside the pub, dogs are warmly welcomed in the bar area, as it offers a friendly and inviting environment where you and your furry companions can feel at ease, safe, and content throughout your stay.
Kickstart your feast at The Three Legged Cross with appetisers designed to delight. Dive into a plate of salt and pepper calamari, accompanied by saffron aioli, savour the irresistible sticky crispy chicken paired with chipotle chilli jam, or opt for the juicy prawns drenched in a Bloody Mary Marie Rose sauce, served alongside fresh avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, and sourdough bread. These appetisers pave the way for a diverse selection of mouthwatering main courses, from the flavorful aubergine parmigiana featuring garlic and peppers in a sweet and smoky tomato sauce, topped with herb crumb and mozzarella, served with a side of mixed salad and garlic ciabatta, to the seared fillet of sea bass complemented by a pea and crispy bacon velouté, steamed broccoli, and spring onion mash. Not to be missed is the indulgent beef and red wine lasagne, a cherished pub classic.
For those with a sweet tooth, the milk chocolate honey pot is an absolute must-try. This delectable creation combines velvety chocolate mousse, silky honey, and crunchy honeycomb, served alongside a buttery biscuit and honeycomb ice cream, creating a harmonious symphony of sweet flavours and delightful textures.
The Three Legged Cross' bar boasts an impressive array of beverages, including locally crafted hand-pulled ales, ciders, and timeless classic cocktails.
