The Labour Desk hosted their Christmas party with this venue on 27/11/25, and the entire experience was incredible. Tom was helpful and accommodating from the very start, making the planning process effortless. We were able to hire the whole pub at a very affordable rate, which was a huge bonus. The live music was easy to set up and created the perfect atmosphere. The food—especially the pizzas—was outstanding. Our guests couldn’t get enough and kept raving about how delicious everything was. Drinks were flowing, the vibes were fantastic, and the service throughout the night was flawless. Thank you for helping us create such a memorable evening. We’ll definitely be back next year! 🎉🍕🍻 10/10 – A Christmas Party to Remember!

The Whitecross Tap is situated on a lovely street with street art and other restaurants. It’s a wee bit off the beaten path from the place most tourists end up, which is frankly a good thing. The interior is comfortable and the service was friendly and helpful. My friend and I were happy to catch a football game on the telly and enjoy some pizza and a pint. The pizza was better than average for what you might expect at a pub. It was tasty and no frills. I think the pizza dough could stand to be improved, but still a solid 4/5 stars. It came with its own cutter which was as novelty. I kind of enjoyed being able to curate the size of slices. I think my favorite moment was when three older local gents came in and were having a chatter. It isn’t just a pub catering to the young hipsters (though a group of them did come in). The mix of people ultimately gave it a more comfortable vibe and made me feel much more at home. Also if the older local gents still come to it that is probably a good sign. So if you’re traveling and want a pub that will feel relaxed and comfortable and make you feel at home, I highly recommend the Whitecross Tap.
