The Crown and Sceptre, South Croydon

Very nice pub wth a friendly atmosphere, They have a great real ale selection but the beer isnt the best kept round the area!
I has a very classical pub feel and they serve very nice food in a clean attractive surrounding!
i would reccomend popping in if you ever get the chance!

The Earl of Eldon, South Croydon

Great Pub with the new current owners upholding the amazing reputation this pub's alyways had.
Standerd lagers such as, kronenbourg, carling, stella, fosters as well as strongbow are all kept to an excellent condition.

As a guiness and real ale drinker, the lines are kept to a perfect condition , which is reflected in the taste of the drinks.
Personally, the guiness and the old speckled hen especially get my mouth watering, tasting better than all of the pubs around this area. But the Abbot ale and the Green kings I.P.A are also spot on.

As many people may know, the Earl has always had a good reputation for food, and i still does to this day! they serve a great sunday roast and on a nice summer day you can enjoy your meal in the spacious beer garden. (Also with a heater in the winter days, if you want a fag!)

Finally, a lot of pubs are deprived of REAL music being played at their venue, but certainly not here! Alot of music nights are being set up consisting of live music on a friday , karaoke on a saturday and then to wind down, an excellent 'open mic' night on a sunday evening. As a musician myself It's a shame to see that music in pubs i a dying thing, However i have faith that this pub will bring that old feeling back into croydon and let people know that music isn't dead, because all you have to do is come down to this pub!!!

I would highly recomend that if you ever get a chance to pop into this pub, dont hesitate, go in and enjoy the friendly atmosphere that is holds!

Great beer, great food, great music and great punters! What more could you want!!!!!!!!!!
