About the Pub
Comfortably furnished throughout, there is a L-shaped bar area at the front, and a dining area to the rear which overlooks the garden. The dining area includes a small, more luxurious, raised section, partly partitioned from the remainder. Fairly adventurous menu, ranging from snacks to full meals.
Historic Interest
An 18th-century pub, the Blue Posts (also called the Blue Stumps, incorporating Yeomans Brewery from 1745), once stood on the site. (Confusingly, a Blue Stoops pub/brewery also seems to have existed on the High Street around that period.) The Blue Posts appears to have been acquired by Marston’s around 1890. It was sold to Worthington’s in 1925, demolished and replaced by a new Blue Posts in 1927 (the year Worthington’s merged with Bass, Ratcliffe & Gretton). It remained a Bass pub until ~2002/3 (some uncertainty; sale not recorded), then a privately owned free-house until bought by Enterprise Inns in 2006 and renamed the Cosmopolitan. There followed further renaming (amid intermittent closures), the pub eventually re-opening in May 2015 as The Crossing.
