Proper traditional pub with a good selection of ales on pump. Really good atmosphere with friendly staff (who like a laugh). Just had Thatchers Haze added (which is my go to cider - Nice). Very reasonably priced - Will most definitely return. Doesn't serve food but tbh - you go there for the beer and atmosphere

Old school pub, with a wide variety of ales stouts and lagers. Helpful and friendly staff. Good atmosphere of people chatting away. A pleasant experience.

This is a typical English pub where they offer great variety beers. Very friendly guys work behind the bar. During my stay in Croydon, I loved coming here for a beer. If I'm ever around, I'll definitely stop.

A pleasant traditional one bar pub selling a range of beers and ciders at reasonable prices, including 6 real ales of varying strengths supplied by a number of breweries. The selection changes on a weekly basis. Service is friendly and efficient. There are 4 screens showing live sport, normally picture only as well as background music which is played at a level that does not intrude on conversation. Recommended👍

Proper boozer full of old school British punters. Prices great and staff very friendly plus the decor is great. Show the sports too. £4.20 a fosters is great in today's climate Would be my local if I lived closer but I pop in occasionally on the way home from work.

Great service. Super beer selection tonight, they are working hard to maintain a standard. This is an oasis in a world of mediocre cask beer pubs. Worth a visit.

This is my local. The beers are always good and well sourced and the prices are decent - £3.80 to £4.20 for a pint. There are usually 5 or 6 real Ales on and they are regularly rotated. It has won a lot of CAMRA awards. The staff are really friendly. There are a lot of long term locals that frequent this place, which is a testament to its character and longevity. The pub has 3 screens showing various sports and the bar staff are happy to put on a game or sporting event that you want to watch. Overall a terrific pub.

My wife and I had a great time watching our team The Mighty Quins. A friendly place, friendly atmosphere, friendly staff and locals. Great selection of ale and wine. Highly recommended. I thought I would update my review 6/03/22. Still has a friendly ambience, a good selection of ales and a claret to die for. Very accommodating as my wife uses a stick. Good mixture of clientele.

Quite friendly for a locals bar. Nice drinks. Not much seating, but it is a small bar. Would go again.

The place has been tidied up over the last year or so by the new owner without losing the elements which made and make it such a good pub, it had been looking very tired. Winner of CAMRA's Croydon and Sutton branch Pub of the Year for 2017 in June and numerous times before. 2023 edit. Nothing has changed, in fact it seems like the geographical scope may have increased, the best pub I know of for miles around. There's always a selection of changing beers to choose from and in my experience a good selection of styles too from breweries across the country. If you're a beer lover and haven't been then why not, if you went once and was disappointed by the selection then try again a few days later and it will have changed.

My favourite pub in Croydon. By far the broadest choice of ales, all very well kept, with a core range including Palmers which I've not come across anywhere else. This is an old-fashioned community pub that has undergone a significant refresh since the new owner took over a few years ago. Friendly staff and locals. A good place to sit quietly on your own, have a chat with a stranger, or to watch the football. They also innovated during the pandemic by offering takeaway plastic bottles. Counting the days till Covid rules are relaxed enough to get back there.

Lovely staff. boss is a mixture of maître d'/wedding planner with regards to seating guests. All good! Maybe relax & smile. Decent prices. I thought/hoped the boss/owner was Irish but hey ho. Would recommend

Superb draft beer & cider, all well cared for. Started working my way along bar before lockdown. Sam Brooks' Junction is one of the best real ales I have tried in last 55 years (don't ask about when I started drinking bitter r). Clear application of Covid regs. Well managed, great environment. Need to book.
