The Goose on the Market, Croydon

I have lived about 10 minutes from this pub for 3 years and visited all the pubs nearby. This pub is one of the worst in Croydon despite the low prices. It has a serious problem with dosser-like people begging and interfering with customers/shoppers who wish to have a quite drink/meal. These vagrants are by all accounts the people who have been barred from other local establishments i.e. Ship of Fools and The George.

Some of the staff are rude impersonating a Basil Fawty type customer service plan and I am merely referring to the time between 11am and 5pm.

If Croydon Council BID are serious regarding cleaning up Croydon Town Centre, there first port of call should be this place. Perhaps, if they did next years license might not be granted in the "decent" public interest.
