The Jolly Farmers, Purley

I have to agree with a lot of the previous posts, cliquey, dirty, bar staff that aren't interested in serving people and has attracted the worst of the local people.

When you first go in you think it could be a gem but the illusion soon fades. The decor is tired but would be ok if it was clean. Take a look at the loos and think what the kitchen must be like. Eat here and you'll be worried (rightly or wrongly) about what you might get.

The worst thing for me is the music, can't the management tell the difference between noise and music? Most of the bands they have on are dire!

If you catch them on a night with no music and avoid the food (and the long haired lush from the store over the road) its not too bad. Those nights are rare though
