A great Irish pub with good food (tried Sunday roast) and guiness. Live bands on Friday and Saturdays as well most of the time. Always a pleasure to visit at quiet and busy times, nice and cool inside dyeing the rare hot summer days!

Excellent roast dinner. Everything cooked to perfection. I had the beef and the missus had the chicken. Both were beautiful. Great portions, great service. Can’t fault it tbh. A slightly bigger portion and you would’ve got 5 ⭐️. Either way I left feeling full and satisfied.

A well decorated and cosy place. Always clean. Staff are friendly. Only drank in there during the day . Gonna try their food, have had good reviews from friends and family. Just popped in for a quick bite to eat whilst out shopping in Croydon . Loaded fries with the toppings of the nachos dish. Heaven in a bowl. Whoop whoop. New menu out and what a beautiful selection. Peoples get yourself down there. Keep forgetting to take pictures of food as start eating then realise🤪🤪🤪. So go and see for your selves. Food never fails my expectations.

I have had some great Sunday roasts in here... Really good, and just now had the Tuesday sirloin steak. Fantastic. Lovely and tender and great flavour, tastes like it was on a BBQ And lovely staff too.

Working away from home in an area that had less than a stellar reputation finding Whelans was a godsend. A village pub atmosphere with super friendly staff in the middle of town! Came here every night I was in Croydon. The food deals are fantastic, steak Tuesday especially, 12.50 for a decent steak chips and trimmings. The guys behind the bar were amazing, accommodating and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and the service truly impeccable. You'd be hard pressed to find a pub as warm and friendly in any town. Would highly recommend stopping in. They have sport and quizzes regularly and…
