    I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a pint at The Crown & Sceptre in South Croydon, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The pub has a charming, cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. The selection of beers on tap is impressive, catering to all tastes. I opted for a classic ale, which was perfectly chilled and poured to perfection. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, making great recommendations and ensuring my glass was never empty for long. What really stood out to me…

    First off, a declaration - I met the owners many years ago when they took over their first pub. 20 or so years later, I walked into this beautiful pub, and I was amazed to see them once again. Great bar with a really good selection and brilliant service. Was surprised at the garden also as it used to be a car park but has had a redesign. No Sky Sports, so a great place to come and chat rather than listen to commentary. I haven't tried the food yet, but I have seen and smelled it, so I will DEFINITELY be trying a pizza! It's a beautiful pub and really well run. We went back and ate here - the…

    A lovely pub serving mainly good alcohol and pizza. We came here 2023-03-13 and each had a different pizza and all four of us enjoyed them very much. It was a relaxed atmosphere with polite staff, nice decor, a fire and a good selection of drinks. We had a very nice meal here. If you like pizza, come here! My only downside really was the lack of desserts. I can get on board with a place doing mostly pizzas for mains, but a brownie or cheesecake or something would have been very nice after that big pizza.

    Great local friendly pub with parking. Pizza is very good, and good selection of beers.

    As we are having our last pint in the nice outdoors area before moving away from Croydon, can't but feel sad. The crown & scepter has been our second home and both owners and staff have always made us feel like part of the family. And their pizzas are cracking! We will certainly miss this hidden gem in South Croydon! All our best from Jo & Os.
