EllIOTTS, Purley

This pub is very poor for a local for somewhere which is supposedly the richest postcode in the country (Purley CR8). It is small and dingy. Some of the locals are really OK but others are a bunch of grumpy James Blunts (those middle aged blokes in suits, you know who you are!) Also acts as the staff canteen for FirstAssist staff which is opposite, as there is absolutely nothing else to do in Purley. Once FirstAssist staff leave that company they are never seen in their again. Only redeeming feature is that the food is not too bad, but as one of the main locals for somewhere as rich as Purley, THIS IS A DISGRACE!!!Oh and the toilets are very small!

The Porter and Sorter, Croydon

This is a top boozer. A good central location by East Croydon station. An adult pub where you can go for a decent night without having to worry about getting your head kicked in like you would in a Yates's. Good selection of beers, excellent meeting place! Most staff are pretty friendly especially once they get to know you. This place would score higher if it had a plasma screen and if the food was slightly better. The roasts and the breakfasts are very good but where is the minted lamb burger which used to be on the menu. This place is better than Friends Reunited for meeting old mates you haven't seen for ages.
