St Crispin Inn - Dover

I always enjoy this pub. The atmosphere is great and the service is excellent. The food is also delicious. It's unfortunate that they have stopped serving crumb due to its popularity. All of the desserts are homemade. We are planning to come back in the fall for a weekend of walking and plenty of beer!

We came for lunch and were greeted by a friendly waitress who took our drink and food orders. We all had chicken burgers and ribs, which were very nice. However, the positive experience ends here. The older lady who cleared our table and offered us desserts was very rude. She came back with the dessert board and mentioned that they had a busy weekend, so there were only a few options left. This comment was unnecessary and the way it was said was impolite. We ordered desserts (Eton mess and chocolate fudge cake) and tea. The cutlery and tea were placed haphazardly on the table. The dessert cutlery consisted of a fork and a dirty spoon. When I asked for a clean spoon, I was given one without any apology or acknowledgement of the mistake. The fudge cake tasted cheap and the ice cream was lumpy. Overall, the mains were good but the desserts were disappointing. The service was the biggest letdown as it made us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued customers.

I had a wonderful time visiting this restaurant with my family. We even attended a birthday celebration and everything was great overall. The only suggestion I have is to possibly consider personalizing the service for future events. I will definitely be returning to enjoy another visit.

After a long walk to lunch it was busy, but we didn't have to wait long. eating was really fresh, delicious and well presented. are large. the staff was very friendly and friendly. we will return

We hadn’t booked so just called in, so they were not that busy. We didn’t think the choice was good but not bad, my husband had a special which was ok, I had warm chunks of Brie with cranberry sauce, the sauce was a runny...sauce. Which I have never seen, it is always a sauce you can see what it is. I had tomato brushetta, for my mains, which was served on French bread with more onion chutney than tomato, it wasn’t a dish I enjoyed, I have had quite a lot of this dish in other places and this wasn’t how I would see a tomato brushetta, and you have advised it on Facebook today as part of your menu and it looks nothing like I had, which I think I had about 3 halves of cherry tomatoes. Hubby had steak and kidney pie with chips and veg. Pie was homemade but the pastry was very hard. But the main point of this review is that the waitress cane with our bill at the table we paid at the table, and on the way out the landlady shouted out from the bar to the waitress wherever she was ‘have they paid’ how rude she was, I can’t believe this is the way a landlady or anyone would do this. It’s not somewhere we would go again.
