Information
| Welcome to the Golden Cup at Yoxall. Central to the village of Yoxall is the Golden Cup - a family run pub, which offers a warm welcome to all that visit. High quality homemade food complements an excellent range of beers and lagers whilst the newly refurbished accommodation includes 5 en-suite bedrooms. All bedrooms have been designed to ensure comfort and successfully combine modern facilities with a traditional family feel. Tastefully decorated, using only the very best in linen and furnishings, all bedrooms afford a view of the local church, St. Peter's. This majestic church - complete with striking clock - boasts a 12th century doorway, itself proof of the age and development of the village through the ages. |
| Greg and Rachael are your local publicans at the Golden Cup. They strive to ensure that all who visit their establishment leave feeling refreshed and replenished. The East Midlands area - where Yoxall is located - is the ideal location for taking a holiday, whether it is just a long weekend, mini-break or even a fortnight, there is plenty to see and do throughout the area and with cost-effective accommodation rates your break is sure to be one to remember. |  |
| No story would be complete without a mention of GHOSTS. The Golden Cup is believed to have a ghost but neither Greg nor Rachel will confirm or deny its existence, believing that visitors should make up their own mind, but if such a story is true, then he must be a friendly ghost who likes his sleep as no one has been disturbed yet! |

One other story, which is believed to substantiate the shying of horses within a particular area of the village, is that of the blacksmith's apprentice whose skeleton was found run through with a spear. Horses are said to shy at the very spot where the unfortunate youngster had lain in an unconsecrated grave - research has shown that the boy, who had been ill-treated, had committed suicide whilst his employer (the Blacksmith) had been at Church. A sad tale, which does not fit in with the genuine warm and friendly atmosphere of today's Yoxall. |
