Landlord Ian, along with partner Barbora and manager Dan are three local Sandwich residents and took over the reins of The Crispin Inn in February 2022.
After closing for 2 weeks for an interior refurb the pub now has a fresh and clean new look. The creation of a proper snug is part of the change and is available for private hire for small gatherings or family occasions. The rear barn has also undergone refurbishment and is now a wonderful room dating back to the 15th Century with oak beams and flagstone floor folding doors open out on to the rear courtyard and river Stour beyond. The barn forms part of the restaurant but can also be made available for small functions and parties of up to 20 - 25 people.
Had a meal on NYE. Great food, service and quick too. Was planning to spend the evening somewhere else but saw they had live music settting up so decided to stay. Had a great night. Friendly people and a great atmosphere. Would def visit again.
Good location and service. Starters were a good sized portion. My wife’s main course of liver and bacon was tasty but unfortunately my ribeye steak was more a steak frites and over cooked which was disappointing for the price. I don’t normally complain and was pleased the manager didn’t go defensive but very empathetic and offered free desserts but we declined which he then reduced the bill.
Lively pub on a Friday night with live music from 8. The place was busy but we found seats in a quieter room to the left behind the bar. Comfortable with a small outside space leading to the river path.
We just had to do it. A sandwich in Sandwich. And a monster at that with the fully loaded Ear of Sandwich sandwich. Very well put together considering it had everything in it. Nice pub right in the centre with. A good view onto the old toll bridge, so great for people watching. And friendly bar staff included for free 😍
As we were in Sandwich I ordered the sandwich special. Very disappointed. Bread was so tough that it was almost impossible to cut with the provided knives and hence impossible to eat. When I reported this to the Waitress she expressed apologies but the management made no effort to correct or compensate for the situation. We finished our drinks and left. The late Earl of Sandwich was probably turning in his grave!
