Lovely relaxed feel with a vibrant atmosphere. Interesting choice of smaller plates catering for all tastes. You must try their bread and butter.
Good vegetarian options, fish dishes and larger more meat dishes.
Varied wine list but City prices.
Pleasant friendly service - all in all a very nice lunch

I loved the mood of the place with its candlelit cosy interior, somehow both quiet and lively at the same time. I found the dishes not only delicious but also very unique - like the fried pink firs or the brown butter cake. The staff was also helpful and friendly. Really recommend!

Delicious food and great service, ordered 2 large, 2 medium and three small plates between two of use which I’d way was about right (if not a little too much) and shared a pudding. Highlights were the Portland crab, the cod, the sausage rage and the blood organs set cream.

Everything was flawless for our dinner at Crispin. The service, food and drinks were all brilliant with a special mention of the chorizo and fish cheek skewers. Delicious!
