I don't live in Croydon but always go to thois gastropub when I visit. The beers are varied, tha bar is comfortable and the food is well prepared and generous in quantity. The S African specialities are the strong suit and the venison is the best I have ever eaten. The Sunday 5pm pub quiz is back, East & West Croydon stations are nearby and there's even Sunday parking in local streets for non-drinkers. The owners are very friendly, contrary to one or two posts here, and I know of no better haunt in Croydon, which is on the way up.
PS There's a very civilised outdoor smoking lounge for die-hards.

I have been reading the comments about this pub and they are true, but moaning about working people stopping in for a beer is a bit daft, 'Stripey shirts? Perhaps biker jacket and big boots or something else might make you more comfortable? Go to the oval they are all waiting for you!

However the people running the pub are often short with their clients and people in general, and as the comments show people remember and do not want to come back no matter how good the food and beer is.

The food and beer is excellent so you can't knock them for that but they are a grumpy pair running a pub they don't want anymore and sadly it really shows.

lets hope someone who doesn't hate Croydon so much buys the pub! Because we are not all so bad and have no doubt kept them fed and watered for many years.

This really is a pub to go to if you want a good meal, and I think the licensees give the food a higher priority than the drinks. However, the beer is well-kept and provides a good companion for the meal.

Nice large pub with the added advantage of a beer garden. Lager quite pricey for the area. The pub is missing something though...

....and also because it is never open when local residents would use it most - i.e. Sundays and bank holidays.
