| Wednesday lunch, gets busier around 1pm for the hour but still good service. Nice pub from Nicholson's range 5 ales about £3 per pint and they do a collector's card 5 ales with the 6th one free Chunkyetti - 22 Jun 2011 14:20 |
| This seemed to be the only decent looking place in Fenchurch, open on a Saturday - my partner and I were the only customers for the first ten minutes. The beer was passable enough and the landlord seems keen to get punters in. His pub looks less chavvy than the others (that were open) along this road. pkrp - 11 Jun 2011 14:35 |
| Pleasant staff, a decent range of ale and pub grub. I know it's part of the Nicholson chain but as chain go this is one of the best IMO. Good place to grab some food and a pint whilst waiting for a train out of Fenchurch Street. Rod_Hariga - 12 Mar 2011 11:57 |
| An interesting place this - it's obviously a fairly recent creation but unlike many similar establishment works pretty well. The photo does not really do justice to the pub as it shows only the left half of the bar. The entrance to the right hand side of the picture is, in reality a central entrance. Rather strangely you enter up a gently sloping ramp of maybe 15-20 metres with the bar at the upper end. To the left and right are seating areas with the one on the left (pictured) being comfortable chairs and tables for drinking and the one on the right being rather more elaborately decorated and more directed at eating. There is another drinking area with high tables and stools to the left of the bar and behind that a courtyard for outside drinkers (and presumably smokers). The Crutched Friar then is a fairly large establishment but still manages to retain a decent atmosphere. There is a good range of ales with the usual suspects like Pride, Landlord, Doom Bar and Tribute being supplemented by less common offerings - Copper Dragon Golden Pippin and Adnams Ghost Ship - on my visit. A long list of ales on a blackboard (perhaps 30 in all) suggests regular rotation. This is a decent place to drink and I'll probably return here. murgatroyd - 3 Nov 2010 08:55 |
| Wandered in as part of the Dick Whittington ale trail. Seemed nice enough with plenty to look at, choice of rooms with differing character. Usual good selection of beers, service was fine, would call in again if passing. phill1110 - 10 Oct 2010 18:13 |
