About The Crutched Friar
Takes its name from the street it sits on, itself named for the Crutched (or Crossed) Friars once based nearby.
The Crutched Friar sits on the street of the same name, itself named for a medieval order of friars who once had a house nearby. It's a straightforward, well-used after-work pub for the Tower Hill and Fenchurch Street office crowd, with the usual solid cask ale line-up.
On tap
