A little bit about us…

We are part of a handpicked, small batch of British pubs, designed to be welcoming spaces for both casual visitors and regulars. Our focus is creating memorable moments in a vibrant, social environment where people can unwind, connect, and enjoy. We offer well-loved traditional food and drink, made with care and served in a way that feels like home. We’re dedicated to offering a warm, authentic experience where good food, good drink, and great company always take centre stage. The Crutched Friars (cross-bearing brethren) was a Roman Catholic order which settled on this site in 1249. The order was suppressed by Henry VIII during the dissolution of the monasteries, and today, named after the staff they carried, surmounted by a crucifix, our delightful pub sits in their place. Though steeped in history, our pub offers far more than just a fascinating past. With a vast menu of British classics and unique indulgences served alongside a wide selection of cask and craft ales, wines, spirits and cocktails, we're the perfect spot for a little rest and relaxation in the city.
