Run by some of the crew from the wicked record store in Berhampore, this quiz promises to put your knowledge of music to the test! You’ll need your ears to be in tip-top shape, as this quiz consists of short excerpts of songs being played to teams – guess the name and artist. Be prepared for a few of those “it’s-on-the-tip-of-my-tongue” moments. Themed rounds and guest rounds will throw a spanner in the works too! Vouchers and spot prizes up for grabs – every Thursday from 7pm.

We love brunch as much as any good Wellingtonion – it’s one of our favourite times of the week! Every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-2pm, our place is the perfect spot to bring your family and friends for a bite to eat.

We’ve got the kids covered, with craft tables set up, colouring competitions, facepainting, toys and kid-friendly staff ready to get involved! Once a month we even have a Cross Critters dress-up disco – join our kids mailing list to find out more.

If you’re keen to come in for some kai and kids activities on the weekend, we recommend you give us a bell first to book a table.

The Merlin Webster Experience is an enigma wrapped in a riddle enshrouded in mystery... Not really! It's just that guy from all those other bands playing his own songs for a change with some of his mates who are also in lots of other bands. Sound familiar? That's right, you're in Wellington and this is Live Music!
The guy in question is Tim Key (when he's not messing around with silly musical/magical aliases like 'Merlin Webster') and the bands he's from are: Newtown Rocksteady; Sam Manzanza's Afrobeat Band; Los Jineteros; The Town Crier; IRootz; The Overseas Experiment; Sudakanz; consenses; and others. He plays guitar and sings and writes most of the songs. His mates are: on the keys, Zach Beard (David Grace, The Shelley Bay Cartel, Los Jineteros, IRootz); on the drums, Ben Lovell (Hoon, Melting Faces, and, conveniently enough, resident soundman at the Cross!); and on the bass Mr Mike Duffy (Newtown Rocksteady, Hikoikoi, Zirigidum); and you never know who else might turn up for a jam! (Cause that's how we roll in Welly!)
And what does their music sound like? Well, that's a tricky one... hard to say really... Some of it's sort of folky, rocky, reggae, bluesy, kooky, swirly, country, irie, psychedelic something. But basically you're just gonna have to come and see/hear for yourselves!

The hired sportsmen draw on the rich traditions of hip hop, soul, funk, gypsy, secondline, tallava, and Balkan fusion to create a unique sound. Featuring the vocal talents of Wallace Gollan, and the saxophone of Adam Page, the hired sportsmen will leave you breathless.
