The 30 Best Wine events in Croydon

“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”

“The fox and hound is a traditional Irish style pub. Friendly and helpful staff. Beers such as Stella, Guinness ect. No craft beers but good draft. this keeps the pub affordable. Karaoke on a Friday nights and live music on a Saturday. The Wolfe tones often play here.”

“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.”

“I had the Sunday roast today and was genuinely impressed by the flavor. It was well-seasoned and, dare I say, even better than what I’ve had at Hawksmoor! I know that sounds bold, but it’s true. The service was fantastic as well; the staff were friendly and personable. The atmosphere was relaxing, making it a perfect spot to unwind. This place is truly a gem in Croydon, and I’ll definitely be coming back often!”

“Lovely pub! Service was friendly and efficient. The pub was clean both inside and outside. There is a terrace at the back with some table and booths. The booths are equipped with heaters so you can enjoy them during all seasons. Food was nice and portions were sufficient for a group of 4. Toilets were clean. I would recommend this pub for any type of event. You can enjoy a pint with friends, or a party with colleagues. They also have live music sometimes so check the board at the entrance for information.”

“The food was absolutely fantastic — fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. Every dish was enjoyable and clearly prepared with care. The staff were equally wonderful: very welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which made the whole experience even more pleasant. I truly felt comfortable and valued as a guest and would happily return again.”

“Absolutely delicious food. They are under new management and the new team deliver outstanding customer service. Friendly and attentive, a great place to eat. Only giving 4 stars for atmosphere as it’s so quiet, but hopefully more people will discover this gem and it’ll begin to buzz.”

“We booked for a large party of us to come late after a local event on a Monday night. We were going to arrive at about the time the kitchen was closing. Amy and the team were absolutely brilliant in making the whole thing work. We pre-ordered food, which was waiting for us when we arrived. Staff stayed late especially - which was amazing. Everyone went above and beyond to accommodate us and could not have been friendlier or more helpful. It was a lovely event - good food, reasonably priced and brilliant staff. Thank you to everyone at The Crown - it was a fab birthday celebration!”

“Had a lovley time on Saturday here unfortunately the kareoke is not on but the landlord played any music we requested and gave us free shots the staff were warm and welcoming and will definitely be going back thanks to all wirking we were truly looked after”

“Made me feel so welcome, my lil doggy and me! Really comfy chair, fabulous pint of London Pride and best music- an 80s mix tape. All ages here, had several nice smiles off fellow customers. Definitely returning with my laptop, I appreciate a comfy pub like this!”

“Called in for a few drinks while in the area. This is a "proper" old school pub which is rare these days! The lady serving was lovely and helped us with some local knowledge of bars in the area. Good pint of Guinness”

“This wonderful Irish pub located near east Croydon., provided us a joyful experience. I ate may fish'n chips, but none compare with orchard's The attendants were kind end helpful. Thank you all”

“Nice little boozer, friendly and polite staff and the cloudy apple Strongbow is perfect. Clean toilets, children and dog friendly. They serve a huge range of food at lunchtime which you order from the small cafe situated in the carpark. The cafe staff bring it over to you. And the food is outstanding. My only criticism is, it doesn't open until 12 noon. 11am would be better. I've used this pub a few times now. And I will definitely use it again. Nice friendly customers, sky sports, pool table and dart board.”

“Spot on. Main meal and desert were just great. Good atmosphere. Sport on the screens for those that want it (not me) but background music playing even while a quiz was going on (just how I like it) friendly staff. 10 out of 10.”

“Feeling nostalgic as it was 20 years since I have been back in UK and my favorite banger and mash are still the best at weatherspoon”

“Good spoons. Normal in terms of interior. Smoking in the back is a bit odd as some tables are no smoking. The food is normal spoons food but it was cooked hot and tasted nice. Desserts were good too.”

“Wow how amazing has this place been. I came here regularly a few years back and thankfully it's sustained its great food and hospitality. I had the risotto and it was absolutely lush! I'll definitely go again. Lovely Italian settings and great indoor vibes too.”

“We had the most fantastic afternoon celebrating my dads birthday at Renzo and Mauro. We were a big table to look after, but the service was outstanding and the food was absolutely perfect. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough, we will definitely be back!”

“we visited at opening time for brunch. the decor has been done really nicely - great menu, good coffee, really friendly service, generous portions & delicious fresh juices. will definitely visit again”

“I went in there with two dogs and very pleased that the lady offered me water for the dogs as well as treats. It seems to have improved since new management have taken over. I didn’t have food but did see other customers with food and it looked good so I’m tempted to try it. I think the dogs give you 10 out of 10 for the crisps and water. Lol”

“When they are selling food it's delicious but this isn't often. Lovely garden and nice pub”

“Amazing food every time. A delicious and unique dining experience.”

“We recently visited again after a gap of circa 3 yrs. We were very pleased with the back to usual high standards. Food was fabulous and so was the service. Truly surprised and would like to visit again. Parth our waiter was very friendly and efficient, THANK YOU. As for service charge that some ppl ate cribbing about, do note its purely optional but we decided to pay as both service and food quality were of very high standards. Thanks and look forward in dining again.”

“Wonderful, the perfect experience! Anita, Matthew and all the other staff made our Sunday lunch so special, thanks again! In September I visited with my two great friends, one of whom was was celebrating her engagement. The staff were fabulous, food was delicious, and the setting was gorgeous. If you want a stunning place to relax whilst appreciating nature, this is it. We loved the decor, subtle colours and ambience. Well done Birch! We will return.”

“Visited today, food was amazing and place was so clean. I have eaten at a number of shawarma places, some rated as being one of the best in the UK but they do not compare to the exceptional taste of the food here. Give it a try, you will go back again and again.”

“Very good nice food. Good service”

“I was an extremely happy regular customer, the food is exquisite. Good size portions and the quality is great. I'm very choosey about my food, and they have never let me down. I've since moved to Swindon, and regularly get food collected by family and brought down to me, because it really is the best. If it wasn't 2 hours away, I'd happily pay a delivery charge to get it !! The customer service is second to none, they really take pride in their food and creating the best meal for you. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“A very Clean and Comfortable Venue. The Food was delicious and the Staff were very polite and well mannered. Price is reasonable.”
