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.

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

The garlic bread is to die for. We had butter running down our chins The main course was huge. We were willingly provided with a doggy bag to take home with us. An extra bonus is the parrot who lives in an enormous cage in...another room.

The staff are friendly but not gushingly subservient as some reviewers here seem to expect. It is a pub that is as attrative inside as out. A large garden, ample off street parking and most importantly, very dog friendly while a vocal pet parrot entertains...the dogs. The food was better than was expected given that this is a pub and not a gastronomic palace, the portions far too large to enable a cleared plate. The starters are varied and well prepared and Sunday lunch was excellent. We ate in the main bar as we had two dogs with us and these were made as welcome as were we. The separate restaurant was full as were table accomodation in the bar. Thoroughly recommended and a destination for us when we revisit the area.
