Waddon Hotel, Croydonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I used to work up the road from this pub some years back and visited The Waddon on a couple of Friday lunchtimes. I don't remember the beer at all, and recall the place was rather dowdy. This was probably 15 years ago.
So finding myself recently stranded waiting for a train from Waddon station, I decided to pop in and see what was what. The place is now much smarter than I recall, and the beer on offer was Bass (seldom seen these days round here) and one from Caledonian. Can't remember which particular beer offhand.
The Bass, which was all I had time to try, was very good and I said as much to the barman.
It wasn't busy - there were only several others in there which was probably par for the course mid-afternoon on a weekday - so I cannot make any valid assessment of the quality of the other punters. Sorry John!
However, this seemed to me a decent enough place for a pint or two of Draught Bass. Where else would you get that in Croydon?
Cheers,

I went in to the Waddon Hotel for the first time today, and found it a spacious pub with friendly staff. Ales were Hyde's bitter (in good condition) and Caledonian Over the Bar (temporarily off). The pub has 2 pool tables, darts and sports TV, but I suspect the regular clientele might be the sort you'd normally avoid. Please post a comment if you disagree, I'd be happy to be proved wrong!

A great 'local' where outsiders are always welcome.
I've been doing the karaoke there for over 5 years now, and we have a laugh everytime.
Energetic crowds at weekends, quite peaceful during the day, except when there's sport on, then you have all the atmosphere you ever wanted!
Booze is mega cheap!
