The Brief, Croydon

Great Pub - if you enjoy rude and aggressive bar staff. Was in their last night with friends one of whom was slightly tipsy. Kicked us all out in the most obnoxious way although there was no bad behaviour on our part. No wonder the place is empty most of the time. AVOID.

Going to this pub more and more. The garden has been done up to provide facilities for smokers. Good pint of Guiness. Food is Thai and excellent. Locals are friendly. Extensive sports coverage on 4 sreens. Staff are polite friendly and efficient. A cracking boozer which I would have no hestitation in recommending.

Sports coverage is good. Guiness is fine at �3 a pint. "Mad Maurice" the devoted Leeds Utd fan is a wit behind the bar, as is the Antipodean with the dead pan manner and post-ironic sense of humour.

Various in-house facilities.

A good place to escape the chattering classes of south London.
