    Food was great, decor and the pub itself is lovely. However it was quiet night a table for a 40th (roughly 15 people), a table of 5, us (2) and a holy communion who literally had buffet food. The big table had finished eating so there were only two tables to serve. Initially service was great but we had to wait a long time for food & even longer to get the bill. Seemed to be only 3 people working/serving & even people sitting at the bar were struggling to get their attention as they stood chatting. Which is fine to talk to colleagues just think considering it wasn’t busy the service could have been quicker. Overall though very friendly, menu has lots of options, 2-4-1 on cocktails is great! Very impressed will be returning!

    We had a stop on our way to Ramsgate and we were very pleased with the pub. Great food, friendly service and lovely pub. It has a lovely garden and pla area. It’s fog friendly too. Highly recommended. The only little hitch was we couldn’t book for 7 of us by phone. A few of our a tried for days before but no answer. So we had to book 2 tables for 4 on opentable and hoped we could get the tables together. But it was no problem for the staff to seat us all together.

    After seeing a post on facebook, this is my second visit this month with different family members. On both occasions the service has been great and the food absolutely perfect.

    Very disappointed with the whole experience Had been looking forward to going there for weeks Service was really really slow Two of the dinners was poor and when complained the staff took no interest The coffee was un-drinkable Was made to wait ages for every course to come out I been to some pretty poor establishments in my life but nothing as bad and poorly run as this

    The ‘Three Crutches’ is an excellent venue, for any occasion service is tip top, as is the food! What else can one say about a pub that’s, been around for many centuries. My wife and I have been going there for quite some time now and taken, friends & family! We’ve never encountered any problems. Very highly recommended +++
