Top 10 Best Beers and cocktails in South Croydon

“The menu is so good, really fresh authentic Thai food. Also options for burgers and traditional pub food which looked great too! The prices are also very reasonable. £8.50 for the curries (including rice) It’s a must! 10/10 ps - lovely staff :)”

“I was extremely apprehensive, However I must say this place was absolutely great. Service was exceptional. Wait time for food was minimal. Quality meat, the lamb was tender. I would recommend this place to anyone. I'll definitely be back.”

“Hot desk friday at the store. Bottomless coffee and snacks :) I liked sharing the space with other people working out there. In these times of working from home its nice to take a break from home and go sit and work from cafe. I am glad Croydon has such place for us.”

“Lovely pub!! Great ambiance, with a nice garden and 10/10 customer service. To top it all off this spot dog-friendly. I recommend you try out their cocktails and food - start with the coxinhas!”

“My mum took us here on the off chance for brunch, lovely food, great service. We're looking forward to coming back and tasting the dinner menu. For the three of us, our bill came to just over £40 and we were all very full!”

“It's a great place for a micro pub good beer and atmosphere lovely people and staff kids and dogs all welcome still great”

“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,”

“Loving the Purley Arms and Waynes karaoke on that one! Very welcoming to newcomers. The place is more of a pub than an Irish pub”

“Popular location with good ambience inside.Service was very quick (midweek dinner). Staff were great. Food taste and quality - great Though it's expensive, the quantity of the food is larger than other places to justify Samosa chat - 5*s Kerala fish curry -5*s Desi chicken curry - 4*s Chilly chicken - 4.5*s Butter and Garlic naan - 4*s Fruit juices were just good enough. Staff were so lovely to offer a small cake on my wife's Bday along with a candle on it. Highly recommended restaurant.”

“Tasty authentic Indian food! Great service, good ambiance, tasty finger licking food! Try the crispy okra or Tai pai paneer! Manchou soups…..Its a great place for spicy indo Hakka food. Will keep visiting again and again!”

“Very nice example of the Wetherspoons. Nice friendly staff and clean toilets. There’s a beer / smoking garden at the rear. Use the app to order if you don’t fancy queuing at the bar. Refillable tea/coffee for £1.49”

“Very polite and helpful. Professional service, these guys are amazing.”

“Tunder Banton. What can I say.. A true professional to the end.. Will cater for many generations and genres.. A must reach for whenever I do anything party related...”

“I've been going this pub since it was 'The Blacksmiths Arms' , and had my first pint here when I was 15! A carling black label that cost £1.13 . I haven't tried the food but it looks good and they do a good deal as well. And the staff are super friendly and helpful. So a rare 5 stars from me.”

“I and three friends visited Crepes&Cones on Sunday 20th November unintentionally. My friends and I had planned to dine elsewhere, which was fully booked. Crepes&Cones was on our list of places to dine at in the near future, it was relatively close to the fully booked restaurant we didn’t wait for, so took a chance going to Crepes&Cones. Despite a couple of reviews saying service was slow and waiting time very long we gave it ago and so glad we did. Service was excellent and waiting time was minimal to be fair it wasn't busy, a large group came after us and a few more people later on. We had an amazing meal with generous portions. We started off with the red velvet prawns, absolutely delicious in addition to the roulette of wings, tasty. Main course didn’t disappoint, once again generous potion and delectable. Service was excellent. We were served by a young lady named Olivia, she deserves 5 stars for being attentive and hardworking, she made us feel welcome, Olivia made sure we were ok. Definitely would recommend and hope to visit again.”

“Absolutely brilliant pub. Great atmos, dog friendly and the best staff.”
