The Crossing Micropub opened in 2018, bringing a proper pub back to Hest Bank after a long gap. It’s part of the wider micropub movement, focusing on simple ideas done well: good beer, friendly chat, and a relaxed atmosphere. The name comes from the nearby railway level crossing and the historic route used by people crossing Morecambe Bay sands. From the start, it set out to champion cask ale and small breweries, quickly becoming a regular meeting place for locals. Over the years, it’s grown into a well-loved village pub with a reputation for quality beer and easy conversation.
Inside The Crossing Micropub, it’s small, cosy, and kept nice and simple. A long bar runs along one side, with chalkboards listing what’s pouring, and a handful of stools, benches, and little tables dotted around. It’s the sort of setup where chatting to people just happens naturally. There’s no TV or loud background noise, so it always feels relaxed and easygoing. Out front, there’s outside seating where you can enjoy a pint and watch trains roll past on the West Coast Main Line. It’s informal, friendly, and very easy to feel at home.
On the bar a great selection of 6 cask ales to choose from, along with a choice of 4 keg lines.
