    Solo lunch at 1pm on a Saturday. It was relatively quiet. Service was fantastic, friendly but not intrusive. Food was phenomenal, particularly the beeftartare crumpet.

    Food was delightful, just maybe a bit under seasoned and they don’t have salt and pepper out on the tables (possibly because the tables are very small). And the cocktails are premixed so you can’t make adjustments (margarita was super sweet). But food came out quickly and everything was beautifully presented. Would go again.

    Been a big fan of Bar Crispin for a few years, however after the last visit, sadly don't think I'll be going back.. The quality and excitement of the dishes has declined, to the point that the price feels extremely unfair. For example: clams with rice for £12 for 7 tiny clams (one of which was empty) and two tablespoons of rice.. The polenta bites have shrunk massively.. The prawn sandwich had what felt like a fish-finger worth of meat and basic bread was so sad. I'm all down for small plates and previously, though not cheap, a visit to Bar Crispin still felt worth it for an occasion - innovative dishes, lots of tasty different bites and a nice atmosphere. Sad to see that change.. hopefully it goes back to how it was! :-(

    Overpriced. Service was poor. No help with wine. Potions were extremely small. Left hungry.
