Cocktails and wine bar in South Croydon

“We ordered from here for takeaway (delivery) and the food was amazing!! Great taste, great quality and worth the money! All of us really enjoyed it and delivery was efficient and on time. Would definitely recommend and eat from here again!!”

“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!”

“Wow how amazing has this place been. I came here regularly a few years back and thankfully it's sustained its great food and hospitality. I had the risotto and it was absolutely lush! I'll definitely go again. Lovely Italian settings and great indoor vibes too.”

“Great portions and amazing food! Fairly priced; each dish is around £15-20 and the portion is large. Service was good and the restaurant had a nice ambience, 10/10 would recommend. If you are ordering a lot of dishes, be prepared for a bit of a wait though!”

“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”

“Fantastic dinner with really great atmosphere and helpful staff. We had two starters, two mains and two drinks and everything was perfect! Can't wait to come back!”

“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”

“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.”

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

“We went to try this restaurant for the first time. We ordered Chicken sandwiches and chicken salad. All was fresh and delicious. The staff who served us was very nice and friendly. It’s a small restaurant but food was good and atmosphere was great as well”
