I can’t thank the staff at Crossley St Cantina enough! Due to an extremely last minute venue cancellation, our group booked in with Crossley St Cantina for dinner. The staff here were so easy to book through, multiple dietary requirements were easily catered for and a few other requests were also accepted with ease. We were seated downstairs in the private function room and it was cosy, vibey and most importantly cool on such a hot day! All the staff were amazing to deal with, the food was spectacular and the pricing great. We loved our experience with Crossley St Cantina and wouldn’t hesitate to go back. A huge thank-you to all the team here, we had a great time!
