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.
Really nice place, nice outside space with lots of greenery and similar theme in side past the proper old style bar area. We had pizza's which is the main choice on the menu, they were great! We had the veggie garden pizza and the mushroom and truffle pizza. Packed with veg and lots of cheese! I was there on a Tuesday quiz night, great fun and great atomsphere!!
Nice, friendly pub. Great service. Can't rate the food as we only came in for drinks.
Very nice local pub. Friendly service and great atmosphere. Also a nice outdoor seating area

The Crown & Scepter is a friendly local pub. You will find a great selection of wines, spirits, whisky, beers, large and ales. Here you can enjoy nice meal with your family and friends. Comfortable sitting area inside and lovely garden outside will make you feel like you were at home. Visit Crown & Scepter next time when you are in South Croydon.
Great local pub, good friendly service with a really good outdoor area
Lots of memories here.
I was on a pub crawl with some friends and we started at the Crown and Sceptre with a plan to head towards Croydon town centre. There were 4 of us and as luck would have it, in walked 4 lovely young ladies. We brought them a drink and got talking to them.
One was a stunningly beautiful young woman called Maria and 36 years later she's still my beautiful wife.
The pub? Well, it's not changed much, it's still a great pub.
So have a visit, you never know how it might change your life
A delightful local pub that excels with a warm, friendly atmosphere, excellent beers and rather wonderful food. Well worth trying out and then a place to make a regular visits to.
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.
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.
Great little pub that is deceptive in size, good beer and the pizza’s looked excellent.
Great local, family run pub. During the summer there is a lot of outside sitting in the quiet backyard.
Haven't been for a while because I moved away but moved back recently and it was amazing. Definitely recommend the pizzas and a great pub and crowd
Good pub, good value for money, good crowd. Only downside is not having a cocktail menu - even a simple one with easy classics would do!
Update May '23: everything as good as previously. Tuesday quiz seems madly popular but well run (even though we only managed to come 6th out of 17 - who am I kidding, well chuffed with that!). If you're there by 7-30 you'll have no trouble finding a table. Food/staff also still great - pizzas chuffing lovely 🍕
Nice quiet beer garden out the back, good selection of Fullers ale. Not tried the pizzas, but they smell nice from the kitchen.

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,
Friendly atmosphere and a lovely pub. Lots of different seating areas including outside at both the front and back.
