The 30 Best Beers selection in Croydon

“Met antipodean friends for dinner. Lovely food - lots of it - great lively atmosphere and fantastic service. So lucky to have this pub so near to us. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Lively place to do a lot of shopping for”

“Came from Australia to see family and an awesome pub with great beer and drinks to have a great experience. Staff were amazing and know how to make a good espresso martini. Definitely be back.”

“Went here last Thursday as heard they did a good quiz night. Had a burger and a couple of pints of Guinness zero; burger was top notch, proper gourmet stuff and we really enjoyed the quiz, we somehow won! Only downside was that it was a bit quiet, probably helped us win the quiz though. Staff were great, very friendly and welcoming.”

“Friendly local pub with a good menu and plenty of seating. Lots of outdoor space too in their lovely garden. Various events such as bands, BBQs, quiz nights to cater to all tastes.”

“Unreal. This place is the real deal for authentic neopolitan pizza. You won't regret giving them a try if you love good pizza.”

“I recently dined at Crown & Pepper, and I must take a moment to highlight the exceptional service provided by one of the staff members. From the moment we were seated, Rohit went above and beyond to make our dining experience truly special. No matter how many questions we had about the menu, ingredients, or even recommendations, Rohit was always there with a friendly smile and a detailed answer. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they patiently explained everything we needed to know, making sure we felt comfortable with our choices. Whether it was dietary restrictions, customization requests, or even just curious inquiries about the dishes, they were attentive and accommodating every step of the way. What really stood out was their genuine enthusiasm for making our experience enjoyable. They checked on us regularly, ensuring our needs were met without being overbearing. The level of care and attentiveness we received was truly above and beyond. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to customer satisfaction, and it made our meal all the more enjoyable. If you're looking for a dining experience where you feel truly taken care of, I highly recommend visiting crown & pepper and asking for Rohit. Their exceptional service made our visit memorable, and we will definitely be coming back thanks to their outstanding hospitality.”

“I've found this spot some time ago, frankly it needs a mention. Easily one of the most under rated venues in Croydon. The staff are down to earth, helpful and add a vibrant splash of colour to the place, those they come into contact with love them. Thanks in particular to Amanda and Zoe for their service, made my visit extra special. Will update with further visit and share for one and all. People give them a try!! ❤️”

“Beautiful experience in cinema Nice and clean all around Nearest eastern food court provided with plenty seating”

“Small shop, tight, but open late, nice staff, and all what you need after 9PM ;)”

“Went here for a birthday dinner and wasn't expecting a good time due to the current circumstances, but we was pleasantly surprised. We were seen promptly, and was greeted by staff who were positive and making us laugh constantly. The food came quite speedily, and was cooked to great standards, especially the ribs and the burger. The service and delivery was spot on. Will definitely recommend. Special shout-out to Shannen who was an amazing waiter.”

“Friendly service, Huge choice of flavour and pods at reasonable prices. Recommended”

“Not been here before. Pleasantly surprised! It's actually a nice little place. Suited to the beer and cider lover, there's a huge selection. No food other than snacks. Unisex WC. If you're thinking of getting there by tram to Beddington Lane and the 463 bus, get off instead at Therapia Lane and there are 2 bus routes to choose from: the S4 and the 463. They're not from the same bus stop, so check your live bus arrivals app while on the tram to decide which one to go for.”

“Cosy, welcoming micro pub with large selection of beers & spirits. Friendly landlady. Would definitely visit again.”

“Just went for the first time and it certainly won’t be my last. It’s an excellent menu, really great options. A good mix of hearty stuff, but nice lighter options too. Meat, fish and veggie options. The place is clean and beautiful, service was spot on and the food was fresh and really well cooked. Absolutely delicious! The prices are really good. Pint of Amstel is £5.50 which is rare these days. The portions were also generous. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Great little bar serving beers and wines on the Elmers End Green, Enjoy a pint or two and a wine and nibbles while watching the world go by. Fleur and her staff are excellent hosts amicable and friendly. Great friendly atmosphere.”

“Ive been to this wee local pub a few times, always friendly and good banter! Its nice to get away from the hussle an bussle of the high street of croydon tho your only just around the corner.. wee places like this are becoming very rare and in time will eventually be pushed out by other big clubs/pubs doing student nights and cheap drinks night, this pub seems to have a loyal community following and long may it last! Ill definitely be back.”

“Superb local hostelry - great beers helpful staff. Always a great welcome”

“Great experience wine tasting with my partner and some friends and family for our first wedding next year! Ryan and James were really friendly and there were options laid out for us ready to go when we arrived. Ryan led us through the tasting expertly and was able to answer all of our questions. We were able to purchase great red, rose, white and prosecco options for the big day. Would definitely recommend!”

“My favourite local pub. The best staff and exceptionally well kept beer. Punters are all friendly a real gem of a pub”

“So cute and fun! Lovely landlady and cat - we had lots of fun chatting”

“Amazing and friendly little pub. They've got a really nice patio in the back. Great little find! Out of all the pubs in the area this is a gem!”

“I jumped on the bus going the wrong way to get home from ASDA . When I and the wife jumped off to head the right direction we decided to grab a bite when we saw the Plough. They were only serving Sunday Roast and I am extremely glad . I would have hated to have ordered something else and missed this great dish! Being from Texas there is a certain expectation when it come to cooked beef and this roast didn’t disappoint but you will pay for it. It’s a bit pricey for only 1 piece of beef but the quality was outstanding. I will return for more!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great Pub. Owners are experienced and very welcoming. You really can’t go wrong. Also they have a cider called “Inch” be careful it’s delicious!”

“Our local pub. We are not regulars but came here quite a few times with our baby son and with friends. Beer is always great, staff is lovely. Haven’t had a chance to try to food yet but will do soon. It’s dog friendly too (it has two beer gardens). We do grief the vivid blue colour. It was such a nice vibe. The white is quite ordinary.”

“Good local boozer, friendly staff, killer pool every Thursday and disco/DJ every Friday. Family friendly boozer at the heart of our community”

“Great spot for food and drinks. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the portion sizes! Nice atmosphere inside and out but we opted to sit in the beer garden and enjoy the sunshine. Lots of parasols for cover. Super friendly manager who was very accommodating, checking everything was good for us and letting us know about a BBQ the following day.”

“Cute place, I didn't try the hot menu but thoroughly enjoyed the Pistachio Cheesecake and Coco Loco smoothie, indoor and outdoor seating and toilets provided. I already love the gardens and the cafe is just the cherry on top.”

“I had been coming to the Dog and Bull for years before the Refurb and always found it charming. I returned in May to a bright and vibrant garden, dubbed 'the wilderness' the new booths were a welcome upgrade and made the space feel substantial! Besides the cosmetic changes, I have grown to love this pub in my home town of Croydon even more than I did before! We've been so lucky to have an amazing summer and it's been great to see this pub so close to my heart packed out with new and returning people each week! I have been raving about The Dog since May and have invited all my uni mates who talk down on Croydon to have a drink with me There, they've all eaten their words and finally seen the charm that Croydon has that is encapsulated in what I think is the best pub in central Croydon! The staff are friendly and make everyone feel like they're in their local and they have live DJ sets, with music I wish more places would play (deep cuts of Garage, R&B, Jungle…list goes on). I wanted to write this review as we always complain when we don't like an establishment but never give praise to environments where we feel comfortable and want to return to so thank you to all the staff at The Dog and I'm sure you'll be seeing me again in the near future.”

“Great old fashioned footballers pub tucked away in a side street. Very acceptable beer reasonable priced served by lovely smiling ladies. Of course that night everyone was ecstatic we had just beaten the Arsenal 3-0. !!!.”
