The Cross Hands of Alveston
Pub located at the staggered crossroads of Vattingstone Lane, The Down, Down Road and Strode Common. A representation of a real ale barrel is fixed to a corner of the pub at upstairs level.

The pub is also the home venue of the Severn Vale Crib Team. Crib(bage) is a card game.
