The food was great, had the roast dinner, very, very reasonably priced, I actually thought I was under charged! Only £16.95 for the beef, really fresh vegetables, and fabulous service. It would've been great if the sound was on for the tennis, but you can't have everything! The young lady who brought over my food was absolutely lovely, very friendly, and professional. There was a table of older men who where, as the day wore on, getting louder, and ruder with their language but she appeared unfazed and handled herself beautifully.

Very nice pub but not many in for a Saturday night. Had singer on, who was pretty good. Lots of screens to watch sport and the Guinness is lovely!

Nice pub. They only have Thai food. Food was good though.

Great traditional pub in central Croydon with polite and friendly staff. Slightly on the more expensive side (it is not a weatherspoons) but worth it for the atmosphere.

Have been here a few times for drinks with friends and work. Staff are very friendly and prices are surprisingly cheaper than you would expect. Lovely decor and atmosphere is great with music playing and also showing sports on the televisions. I’m not surprised if people are skeptical as it is in Croydon but once inside you would not believe just outside was Croydon high street. Would definitely recommend if you fancy a few drinks.
