The Red Deer, South Croydon

Being a first time user of this web site, I was absolutly horrified what I read about my local public house on this page. I have only lived in this area for the past 7 months, and I belive that these very outdated reviews do not reflect the pubs character or the friendly atmosphere that I've experienced.

When I walked in to Red Deer for the first time, I was greeted with kindness and respect from both sides of the bar. I think that shows just how much things have chanded in there since the last comments were posted.

Having spent some time getting to know both the staff & the people aroud me, i've found out that this is for the most part is a locals and regulars pub, but is always welcoming to whoever walks through the door.

I've spoke to some of the regulars, who have used The Red Deer for many years as their local, it is apperent, that the current managment and staff have worked hard to turn this pub back around and have gained the respect and admiration from a lot of people. It was commented that things have totally changed, and the atmosphere is now relaxed and enjoyable, which you will discover for yourself when you visit.

Entertainment veries from week to week, but the duke box is always available to listen to your favorite songs, or there are many tv screens for people to watch the news or storting events.
There always seems to be some special offer or promotion running on selected drinks, and I think you should pop in and see for yourself.
