This boozer suffers from Croydon Syndrome, when it opened they had decent real ale, fast service etc. They had an awful LOT of trade, this made them take their "foot off the gas", so much so that it is now a hopless "dive ". I can see other pubs in Croydon doing the same thing, customers vote with their feet.

has this place closed?... about time.. another pub full of depressing people...
|
It has now closed. Aparently to be pulled down and replaced by flats
|
Dreadful! Needs a complete overhaul of the physical infrastructure and some motivated cheerful owners. The toilets are a disgrace and the ceiling appears to be falling down. The clientele aren't up to much either, a bunch of undereducated aggressive drunken loudmouthed ne'er-do-wells largely speaking! Give it a miss!

Nice pub. Not great beer, but passable. Friendly service.

Average boozer full of blokes looking miserable and geezers playing pool.
It played "Wandering Star" by Lee Marvin at top volume last Saturday afternoon. Does it win any more points for this? Nah.

Once upon a time, folk from LR used to use this, and enjoyed doing so.
It has got crowded since [and the clientele has apparently got younger faster that we have got older ...]
Haven't been in since about 2002.
Then it was heaving with people [punters] - and any forty-somethings seemed to be seriously overage.
Not unwelcpome - but a bit like visiting the Tobriand Islanders - a totally different culture, I'm afraid ...

It hasn't changed at all! Still not enough staff and the staff that are there choose to ignore you if they feel like it! Was totally embarrassed when I popped in for a quick pint on the way home from shopping with a mate that had not been to Croydon before!

I think this pub is a total dump! Its used 2 b ok when the old owners ran it but all the barstaff look overworked espically when the world cup was on - at one match they had one member of staff behind the bar when it was half time!! They used to serve underage kids but then desided to make it an over 21's even tho it was supposed to be over 21's in the first place. Only good thing bout it is cheap drinks!! Might av changed since its been refurshsed!!
