The Spread Eagle, Croydon

"A total disappointment. Very slow service, waited around 45 minutes for food, not receiving appetizers before main courses. Fish and chips was great, but the Sunday roast was a real disappointment. The meat and the Yorkshire pudding were dry, the vegetables were reheated, just the potatoes were good. No discount was made no matter we said the dish was not good. Never order the bread selection, it is just some pieces of bread with old butter and some olive oil and vinegar sauce. Will never come back and will never recommend this place at all."

"Ordered food Twice here the first time was pretty good but later on the food was not as well cooked as before. Good selection of drinks and the staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed to watch the football game and there were enough screens plus if you get to sit on the sofa that's very comfortable."

"Unfortunately has gone downhill recently in terms of food. Used to have a lovely pie selection and good veggie range but now no pies to be found and only one sub-par veggie burger as a main. Clinging on to three stars due to their decent ale selection, good atmosphere and lovely staff."

"I had a mosey on down to Croydon to sample some of it's watering holes and first up is the The Spread Eagle which is a fabulous former bank building. As you can see from the picture it's a behemoth of a boozer and they don't waste the space at all. Upstairs is a theatre where they hosts regular comedy nights and the downstairs is a big old booze emporium which is run by Fullers and they know a few things about pubs. If you’re after a large pub that pulls no punches this is one for you."

"Classic British pub, good selection of beer on draught and good Sunday roasts."
