Crispin Inn - North East Derbyshire

First time visit Lovely bar staff very polite Best burger and home cooked chips I’ve ever had Wife’s fillet steak cooked to perfection Will definitely be coming back here

Having passed the All Welcome' sign on our way in, we were warmly greeted by bar staff. A woman in the corner then said, quite rudely, excuse me, where are your masks We replied, we are exempt She responded, you're supposed to have lanyards to...which we answered we don't need them We have no obligation to highlight our unseen disabilities, all other establishments we have encountered accept our exemption as soon as we have declared it without making us feel discriminated against. The bar staff explained the woman was their manager, confirmed that they know not to challenge after someone says they are exempt, and apologised on her behalf. Although this was appreciated, we were already made to feel judged and unwelcome.

My wife and I reserved an outside table and and visited last weekend. My wife ordered a Fish Finger Sandwich and I ordered Cod and Chips (Large) The service was excellent , meals were served promptly , and both were incredible !!! I had ordered...a large meal but I was blown away by the size when it arrived !!! It was huge and every item cooked to total perfection , The Triple Cooked Chips were to die for ! and the biggest Cod I have ever seen was out of this World !! My wife also thoroughly enjoyed her meal and the value for money was nearly as impressive as the food ! I can't wait to revisit !!!!

This place has gone straight downhill. There has been chefs that have left, from what we have heard. The landlord came out of the kitchen, and was so rude to the customer. Apart from that, he was not dressed to be in the kitchen....He had a vest top on and shorts, with blood running down his leg. In my career in a kitchen, we had to wear Chef whites, as a rule. I think this restaurant is dirty

Twice now in as many weeks had below par food. Simple request for two meals , both mid week visits. Late menus minutes for food to find it was wrong! Young staff flapping and grumbling at long hours, no breaks and no food Tables...left unclean and uncleared Goodness it can't be that hard to give a good service!
