This pub is DISGUSTING and would easily fall in the top 10 worst pubs in the country. I've posted before. No customer service, disgusting, dirty premises, severe lack of places to sit. Disgusting toilets. Horrible looks by the rough locals....sorry I'm not a snob (but they are). Drunk by 2pm? Not good. Drinks not being registered through the till? No decor anywhere including the walls? Blinds closed, even in broad daylight - people smoking INSIDE the pub...how are they getting away with it..it's 2011!!!! Sort it out people.....it's not deserving of 2.1/10 never mind 5.1!!!!!

No better than when the last reviewer was here. The only beer on draught was Fosters - although they had pumps marked Stella, Boddingtons and Guinness the barmaid made it clear they never actually served them. The only bottles were also lager - I plumped for Stella as better than nothing. No food at all even on a weekday lunchtime despite there being several industrial premises nearby.

This is easily the worst pub I have ever been to. I was out for a walk with a friend and decided to call in one Sunday afternoon. The locals shall we say gave us a very unfriendly and disapproving look even before we'd set foot in the place. It didn't get any better. Customers were smoking inside the pub. We visited in 2010 so the owners are breaking the law letting their punters smoke. Also, drinks weren't being rung through the till as the till lay open the whole time we were there. No pictures or decorations on the wall. Was approached by a very drunken woman around 3pm who made quite a fool of herself. She was there with her family, lots of whom were smoking. It was smelly, the service was unfriendly and I would never set foot in the place again. The cafe around the back looked like a real greasy spoon with a dirty paddling pool outside and an overturned children's swing. I wouldn't drink in this place, let alone eat in it. Won't be recommending it. Stay well clear. Also on a final note the cars for sale around the back look really dodgy. Enough said.

Come on down to the farmers, now the roadworks are complete,live bands and lots more fun, easier to get into the pub, signs are actually pointing the right way now!! Give it a try then you will see for yourself.

Best family pub in Crayford. Suffering at the moment because of the roadworks but they have a lovely beer garden with a childrens play area, a family room a cafe that does great breakfasts and has just started doing MASSIVE Sunday dinners.
Bar Staff are friendly and drinks are reasonably priced, I'd recommend it to anyone.

I am a regular at this pub, and until you have been in there yourself don't knock it! Its a very friendly pub, and some great nites have been had in there. The staff are very friendly and always have a smile for you! The homemade rolls are good, and there is also a cafe which do a good breakfast. Take yourself along and give it a try, you might be surprised!!

I love this pub almost as much as I love Sting. The staff are friendly and although the locals swear a bit, it doesn't make a difference, you only have to make a small effort before they take you into their hearts and once you're there, they are very loyal and would do anything for you. Don't listen to the earlier reviews, they were obviously written by people who have never visited the pub and they always chase away the travellers that cause trouble without any fuss.
Give it a chance before you judge - cheap beer is always a winner!

I'm a regular drinker at the Farmers and I'm not a lorry driver or a gypsy!
I think this pub is fabulous.
It has two function rooms, reasonably priced drinks, pool tables and kids are welcome.
The regulars are harmless. It's very male dominated so I'll agree with the swearing but it's harmless and I've had some GREAT nights out there!
Would honestly recommend that you try it for yourself rather than listening to its reputation.

Best boozer I found in years. The barmaid had a pair like a dream. I'll def be going back there to fill my boots again soon, if you know what I mean.

Make no mistake about it, this is a rough pub. The clientele are of the traveller variety and that always spells trouble. Park your car round the back if you fancy losing your wheels. I would'nt go there if the beer was free.

I thought this was called the Ol' Arm s until closer inspection revealed that the rest of the paint had flaked off the pub sign. The front entrance looked like it was boarded up and I was amazed to find that the door actually opened. Inside was a bit smarter but not particular inviting or interesting. A basic selection of drinks. The only customer sat at the bar and seemed incapable of describing anything that didn't start with an F. The extension, that could so easily be a decent asset to the pub, has cracked windows and overall the pub would only attract passing lorry drivers from the nearby industrial site, resident gypsies or locals who basically have Hobson's choice. With a bit of effort this place could be vastly improved and more welcoming but I get the impression that money spent on refurbishment would be money down the drain.

The pub itself is a fair size and i have been to at least one party in the conservatory thing on the side. However if you are not segregated from the usual crowd you have to be very careful. It is not the place to get drunk and generally stumble about and annoy the regulars. The problems stems from the fact that the pub serves the huge council estate nearby as well as the gypsy site up the road. Although not overtly threatening if you just have a pint at the bar it is very easy to annoy them and find yourself on the recieving end of a shoeing in the toilets. I know one bloke who was badly glassed. His crime? Merely talking to a bloke while he was having a widdle!! That says it all I think.
