  “In early August I sadly had to arrange the refreshments for my Mums funeral party. It was a large event planned for 70 people or more. I was delighted at the efforts from Kyle and his friendly staff. The event was housed in the whole of the down stairs area of The Three Crutches. On entering I noticed the special touches of the table arrangements with flowers and pretty table runners. The food was excellent, catering for both gluten free and vegetarian guests. Everyone mentioned how impressed they were with the food, the variety, amount and quality. Definitely not the usual curly egg sandwich and squash as at many funerals. My personal favourite was the addition and unexpected hot roast potatoes. The garden was available for smokers and vapers with plenty of seating plus the addition of a bouncy slide for the little ones. Kyle was on hand and available had there been any issues. There were none. It was very reasonably priced and £1500 less than another venue that quoted, in close proximity. I would highly recommend Kyle and his team to host any function. He was polite and efficient , he listened and delivered. Well done Kyle and co. Thank you from and on behalf The Family of Noreen Chambers.”

  “Firstly - I'd seen some of the less positive reviews here so went here feeling a little nervous. So first some context - I've known of the Three Crutches for years , but never visited. From my understanding it was always more of a pub than a restaurant historically, because of the limitations this creates, anyone going here expecting flawless is not really in the real world. First criticism I've seen is staff that aren't efficient, if this was genuinely the case, it must have been a really bad day ! Honestly, I can't fault the staff on my visit, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely were much better than I've experienced in some premium restaurants. Speed of service, a few say service is slow, this definitely wasn't my experience, drinks order was taken promptly, food arrived within the time you would expect, steaks cooked EXACTLY as requested, nothing burnt, nothing dry. One item was missing from the mixed grill , this was communicated well and was replaced with something else. At a guess this is a consequence of the transformation of the industry where pubs have to become more food orientated to earn a living, food storage space is usually limited, so the odd product not being available shouldn't be an issue, I've seen much worse product availability at Harvester and Mitchell & Butler ! Prices are really reasonable. In the context of what the Three Crutches is the management and staff do an incredible job. My only criticism is the Hugo Spritz zero isn't very Hugo Spritzish. Have to say, we had a lovely evening and a decent meal”

  “Six ladies of a certain age, we had lunch today. Staff were very attentive and welcoming. We had a lovely area to ourselves, the table gave us space to sit and chat. They kindly turned down the music to make our chatting easier. Can't fault a thing. Thank you so much.”

  “Visited yesterday for a family get together. We arrived with my sister in law who uses a walking frame, Kyle arrived to help as soon as we entered, getting her down the steps and round to our table. The food was excellent, and the staff attentive. We'll definitely be back for the 4th time the next time we visit family.”

  “Good atmosphere, Food was okay…. Had steak sandwich and was over done, poor example. And the chips that came on another plate were so over done rock hard unlike the extras we added so I’m assuming I got some re-heated ones first. Would have like to eat outside! Drinks great and great service and staff Will come back.”

  “I have recently had my wife’s surprise 50th birthday party at the 3 crutches and Kyle and his team really pulled out the stops to make the event go really smoothly. I highly recommend this venue for your special events including weddings , Birthdays and those sadder occasions like funeral wakes. The food was excellent as was the welcome drinks , the staff made everyone very welcome and the bar area and dinning area was transformed into a dance area.”

  “Rob was so helpful. He helped us organize a lunch for 27 members of our vintage American motorbike club. The food was of a high quality- successfully catering for those enjoying a roast dinner and those seeking a vegan or vegetarian meal. Members traveling from some distance found the pub, easily. It is close to the junction with the A2. The service was excellent, everyone appreciated the care and attention to detail. We will definitely come again! Thank you”

  “A must visit! What a lovely evening as always. We had a huge table of 11 visit a few evenings ago. It was a lovely surprise to try a new winter menu, with so many new tasty dishes! The evening was complimented by amazing service and friendly staff. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated and even has fairy lights that give such a nice ambiance. Looking forward to our next visit!”
