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.

    I absolutely love this place. No request is too much for them. They always offer beautiful food and have a spectacular gluten free range for those with coeliac disease. The staff are incredibly attentive and it's such a beautiful venue. Thank you always!!

    Food was passable but nothing to write home about. Main meal portions were not over generous especially the dessert. We had the bread and butter pudding which should be a reasonable thickness and soft. That served was no more than the thickness of a standard slice of bread. Very disappointing. This was a birthday evening out so disappointed.

    We booked a short stay in Sandwich and a friend recommended The Crispin for dining. I booked for two for Sunday lunch. The Sunday roast was delicious and we thoroughly recommend it. Service was prompt and polite. We brought our dog and he was also welcomed and offered treats and water.

    Checked with pubs online website re: restaurant hours. Clearly stated h til 21:30. Booked table for 20:30 for 4. One of party delayed in traffic due to road closures in Sandwich. Officious dark-haired waitress informed us at 20:40 that unless we ordered by 20:45 the restaurant was closing. Fortunately our final attendee arrived in the nick of time. When challenged about the website content I was informed that 21:30 was only applicable if the initial order had been made by 20:45. We’ve eaten here several times in the past, on the basis of this experience we decided to order the minimum, skip desserts and never return.
