Crown & Sceptre 32 Junction Road, South Croydon CR2 6RB

"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."

"We recently moved to the area after a number of years of being away, we weren’t too familiar with the area and we’re scoping out the local bars and pubs as one of the reasons we moved was to have abit more of a local night/evening life outside of the house. We came across the crown and sceptre before we moved to the area but only drove past during the summer and it looked lovely, especially with the amount of outdoor seating and foliage adorning the front of the building. Since moving, it has become our favourite local and must show to friends and family who visit. It’s warm and friendly atmosphere makes it very welcoming. Brilliantly furnished and in keeping to the age and style of the building. Nice variety of drinks and the pizza menu is great value for money and fantastic quality. Perfect for when you don’t have time for cook or fancy a meal out. Dog friendly too! Can’t wait to experience it in the summertime, believe it would be an amazing atmosphere."

"After taking a break from this pub due to the previous management, I visited last night after work and was very impressed with the ambiance, food and great Guiness. This really in pub terms the equivalence of an Oasis. It's like an English country pub, but in Croydon. The vibe is relaxed with enough people to create a good atmosphere, without the craziness of other Croydon pubs. To eat, the had the stew which at £8.50 was amazing value, the main menu is pizza. To drink we had Guiness which was excellent, the wine selection is very good as well. The service was excellent, both efficient and friendly. The other customers, who seemed to be locals, were friendly and welcoming, but not imposing so we could enjoy our drinks and food at our table, and when going to the bar talk and meet other locals. Highly recommended for those who like pubs as pubs, not flashy wine bars, or sports bars, great food and drink, served well by friendly people with a local vibe, but not cliquey. For sure, we will be visiting again,"

"Great little pub that is deceptive in size, good beer and the pizza’s looked excellent."

"Lovely friendly pub. Staff attentive, pleasant and helpful. Food limited to a pizza menu plus a non-pizza special but hey, what does it matter when the environment and atmosphere are pleasant. Wicked pint of London Pride. Felt comfortable just popping in for an early evening session solo. Toilets nice and clean. Like most other local pubs needs to be cherished and supported."
