Gareth 1011, Your reviews seem a little on the kind side , i have not ventured in here for a little while, the last time I drank here it was "between trains".I had thought just about everything was sub standard.The Glamorgan is a few minutes further slightly pretentious but the Harvey's is to die for.

This place isn't as bad as some of the postings here might suggest. It gets very busy sometimes and when it does, it can take a while to be served but not more that you would reasonably expect. The loos aren't the nicest either but I've smelt a lot worse! It used to get very smoky but since the smoking ban, it is a much more pleasant place to be.

The up side is that the beer is usually well kept and there used to be several choices. That said, this seems to be only two now. Don't know why.

The food is standard pub grub and not bad for the cost, and if you sit in the restaurant end, you get waitress service for the drinks too.

I shall not comment upon the staff's fashion sense as I don't think it is relevant.

just waited ten minutes to get served by staff that seem to have something else to do apart from the simple art of serving a pint. I used to love this pub - now - well vomiting would be a more enjoyable experience.

The pub is ok to be fair but the bar staff are slow and aren't all that bright when it comes to serving. As for the 'rest facilities', they are absolutely disgusting. I'd like to think that this wasn't a true reflection of the ladies and gents of Croydon but fear that that is the case judging by some of the awful sites you see in this place, and that is just the staff with their tits on show thinking it looks sexy – ladies, not sure what you are seeing in the mirror but it sure as hell ain't what we are forced to look at! Put them away please!

Not a bad place to pop in and have a pint if you are waiting for someone from the station. Busy on Friday nights full of people from Town slipping in a cheeky one before sloping off home.
Food used to be good, but I haven't eaten there in a while so can't say for sure now.
