Little Bay Croydon in Croydon

A lady opera singer was wondering about which makes it different.

Food was amazing, very filling and cooked to perfection, sirloin steak highly reccomended. Service with a smile and very knowledgeable. Atmosphere was busy and happy, the live music was really good as well, and the decorations in general, and Christmas ones alike, were fun and well thought through.

Amazing as always never had a bad meal yet we also came christmas day last year was amazing food good value great service highly recommend.

Great service and food, excellent value.

Quirky restaurant greeted and given a booth, waiter and waitresses were very polite and service was good The food was lovely nice portion sizes, they even played happy birthday and had a candle on my dessert. Would be nice to have a bigger Cocktail menu. Shame the atmosphere was ruined by the Chef ranting and raving loudly about us wanting a prawn cocktail starter without Avocado in it, whilst walking past our booth to the kitchen shouting No there is no plain prawn cocktail ! I told the waitresses I heard what he said and I'm that it was unprofessional.

Couldn’t have asked for more… exceptional service from our waitress Niamh who was extremely attentive, friendly, and when considering how busy lunch period had been she still made time for a laugh and conversation with our group. The food also kept with the theme of quality with no fault to be found, delivering great food and drink at a very reasonable price point. All in all an outstanding meal made not just by the company kept but by the remarkable service and meal delivered, highest compliments and I would highly recommend anyone to experience Little Bay for themselves if you haven’t already. Thank you very much to Niamh and the team and look forward to seeing you again soon! 😁

Had a lovely evening here yesterday. Staff brilliant, good food, great atmosphere, many thanks. Will be back.

Amazing food at amazing prices, can't go wrong. Unique and quirky venue, been going here for over 10years, and still love it

Discovered that they have an opera singer on Fridays and the food exceeded expectations. Will come again to try everything else on the menu:)

Quite traditional food well prepared and generous portions served with a smile in a quirky restaurant. Quite unexpected & unique!

Quirky as heck. Great food, reasonable prices, decent house red. Lovely staff. Mad decor with booths and galleries and ostrich eggs and… and… 😂

Little Bay is usually our go to when friends and family visit, a very quirky restaurant with very friendly staff. The food menu is the perfect size which allows people of different tastes to find something they'll enjoy. Plus they offer course deals which is a great option. Always surprised when the bill comes and it isn't more. The fixtures could probably do with abit of TLC especially the front part of the restaurant but overall in good shape. It can get pretty warm up in the rafter seats under all the fabric on the ceilings. The fabrics could also do with a uplift. The oprah on Fridays is very camp and it definitely can get busy so always worth booking before hand. A lovely little gem in the heart of South Croydon.

Lovely restaurant, great food. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely 5*. Food, service, atmosphere faultless. Very reasonable prices, and we will definitely go again, many times.

I would recommend here, tasty food and didn't wait long. I forgot to take photos!!

This is such a gem of restaurant. I hope we never lose it!

A really quaint little place. I loved the querkiness of this restaurant. I have not experienced anything like it before. The little booths, the hippy, bohemian and Arabic decor was lovely. The food was great, as was the service. Very reasonably priced. I would come again and would definitely recommend. So original!

We went for dinner on opera night. Restaurant was full so a little busy and tight. Food choices are just right and average taste. Good value and reasonable price.

Love Little Bay Croydon, always great food and service, lovely ambience

Had a lovely evening with my wife 40year anniversary its were I asked her to marry me 40 years ago

Quirky, but interesting, excellent food and service.

Always a good meal at Little Bay

Best restaurant in Croydon. Been going there for years and love the food and friendly atmosphere. The small booths make it special too

Lovely little Gem in South Croydon area. Unique interior, food was yummy and enough for 1 person, service was excellent and the prices very moderate. Loved it.

Excellent food, as always, superb value for money. Excellent service, as always. This is our go to place. We used to visit it back in 1995 when they had a 3 course meal for £5. Yes £5.

We were there for quick dinner. Service vas really fast, food really good and served beautifully. We paid £50 for 2 set menus, starter and main + drinks. The decor in the restaurant is amazing! I love every bit of it :)

Good Food, good service but as good as the opera singer was it was a bit too much on off with the speaker next to the balcony. Sometimes we couldn't talk properly. have been since and it's been good yet expect a opera singer mid conversation.

We had a very nice meal the service was very friendly the food tasted lovely and we're good fortune sizes

This place is awesome. I can not praise it enough. Try it. You won't be disappointed. 😋👌

Great food for very reasonable prices. Always a good atmosphere

Nice food, live music and interiors with reasonable price.

Little gem tucked away in south Croydon. It's got loads of characters and a nice eclectic variety in the menu. Decent prices and good portions

Interesting restaurant - Good food and good value

This place is one of a kind! Love love love

The food here was great. The staff there were nice and helpful when we asked about what we wanted. It was lovely (but slightly too loud) having the lady singing opera to us while we had our dinner.

Great little place, lovely food, the paella was very very good, nice atmosphere on Thursday night, good service, super easy to get too on the bus. We defo will return back here.

Affordable and tasty food served in a quirky restaurant - half the restaurant is themed like a theatre. If you would like a “box” seat, then book by phone - they do not seem to check their email/website reservations as regularly

Great place to eat , good value and service is good especially Nina . Good to go on a night when there is a singer

I really enjoyed the food and found the prices very reasonable.

Best staff,best kitchen, interior poor,need refresh

I'm sorry to say that the service was slow even for drinks, the food was slower. By then I'd lost interest 😕

We were lucky to have picked the theatre booths for our team lunch last week. The servings of foods were generous, staffs were friendly and the atmosphere was great!

Cute little unique restaurant. Opera singer was very entertaining and food is pretty good just needs more vegan options!

Been at the Little Bay several times and it never disappoints. The staff are lovely and always very helpful. The service is good and quick. The food portions are good and always taste delicious. Only negative would be that they could freshen up the booth's as they are a little worn

Great as always.Lovely atmosphere, fantastic service, and delicious food Perfect 😊👍

Excellent food for the price paid. Portions are generous. We had rib of beef on their Sunday lunch menu, and it was very tender and tasty with all the trimmings. They do a set price menu and a la carte menu but two courses will cost you around £20. Staff are friendly and polite

Food is always great here and more affordable

I have been coming here for years but these guys accommodated a large group of us at very short notice after a funeral, and I’d like really like to thank them again.

Dinner with friends on opera night. Restaurant was full so a little tight and dark in our booth but a nice evening. Food choices are good and tasty. Good value, lovely white wine.

Friday night was amazing with the Oprah. The food was definitely value for money, I normally pay double for the same price, so I feel like I got a bargain with the roast, and the service was impeccable. I can not complain.

Lovely restaurant. Always a pleasure, consistently good.

Quirky Restaurant Fantastic Food.

Food is fantastic value. Lovely atmosphere in this very characterful restaurant.

Me and my partner had food prising.

This is a charming and quirky little restaurant in south Croydon. Very dramatic decor and live entertainment. I had the three course Christmas menu and unfortunately the food was very disappointing in taste and small portion size of the turkey main course. The starter and desert were ok. Apparently their Sunday roast is a lot better but not sure I will bother go back. Staff and live performer were great but was a real shame about the food.

I like the balconies staff are very nice, I like the food

A unique dining experience, it's got different booths and all quite higgledy piggledy! A great set menu with good portion sizes at a good price. Staff are friendly. I would highly recommend.

Went to Little Bay for the first time in December 2023. The food was fantastic and very good service. We were at the back of the restaurant which was like an old theatre/opera house with small, cosy balconies for an intimate meal. I will definitely be going back👍

a little Gem hidden in the hearth of south Croydon! everything is special about this place, the decor service and Atmosphere make this place magic! was there last night for my birthday and was simply amazing! Our waitress was fantastic, great wine choice and very tasty food! definitely will come back soon for the live music nights! Thanks you team little bay

Visited this reputable long standing restaurant for the first time for a work Xmas meal and discovered it was a great little spot! The food was cooked well with great flavours and the drinks were flowing. Only difficulty is parking is hit and miss as it's mostly permit roads and double yellow lines. Driven past this venue for years and glad I visited!

Little Bay is a great reastraunt, with good food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed and fun. I have been there many times over the last 15 to 20 years and have never been dissapointed.

We regularly go in a group for special occasions. The food has always been good and the atmosphere is brilliant.

Loved it food good and served very quickly Very friendly staff ,great atmosphere

If you're in Croydon come here.

Cozy and pretty place, quite good food, nice atmosphere.

Went here for my birthday with my other half. We both enjoyed our meal we had tremendously. My husband had the Duck Leg and I had the special the Grilled seabass both meals were superb. The hospitality was excellent and all the staff were brilliant too very informative. Will recommend this to anyone for a lovely place to eat.

Delicious food, and a great price

Usually a fab little place. However this visit was not up to scratch. Some of the starters were not as tasty as usual and "liver" pate was very dark and somewhat inedible. Sirloin steak was extremely fatty and tasteless. Did not want to complain as service was inpeccable as always.

Went tonight for a family gathering (5 adults, 4 children) food was wonderful and staff friendly and professional. Great atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommended and will definitely be going again.

Always a good experience here - the balconies and booths make for a special, cosy feeling as well. The waiting staff must hate the steps & stairs but it must keep them fit. Very good value, friendly service and good food, and as a result, still popular after 30+ years

Great restaurant delicious food

Nice atmosphere and great music.

Take away is usually decent but dont order the lamb because you wont be able to find the potatoes that are supposed to come with it. The other issue is the menu is very limited and hasnt changed much over the years

Excellent place for a dinner for two or three or even a party. On Friday nights there is live opera.

Best value for money restaurant in south London. Great food great vibes!

Really nice food at very reasonable prices. Loved the decor and am sure the singing nights are a hoot.

Such a gem!! Quirky, theatrical decor, great food, great atmosphere....& I can't begin to tell you how wonderful the staff are. Always an absolute treat 😍

What a cute restaurant, an absolute delight! If you can, sit at the back, in the theatre booths. The portions were bigger than expected, we were stuffed from two courses. The lamb shoulder main was particularly good, with nicely spiced potatoes and beans alongside. I didn't expect to be able to get nice French food at this price point, especially not in such a novel environment

It is very rare for us all to enjoy our food when going out, but we all did. The service does get a bit slower as the restaurant gets busy, but overall, the service was good. The opera singer on Friday night was a nice touch.

Nice food and atmosphere, love the theatre-like seatings with wall lamps…

Incredible. I loved this place. The vibe, the interiors, the live music... I can't recommend enough! The food and the drinks are very good price-quality. And the most fascinating part is the vibe of the restaurant. Perfect spot for a date, a family gathering or to catch up with friends

Very good. Little gem in South Croydon.

Nice quirky restaurant with great decor, serving a decent range of food. Waiters were polite and attentive.

Little Bay is fantastic place to eat either for lunch or dinner. Great for special occasions. It is completely unique place that deserves special recognition. The staff are wonderful and the food delicious and very reasonably priced.

Went for a birthday dinner was very quiet. Which detracted from the atmosphere

A lovely place to eat and experience. I have visited this restaurant many times and I enjoy the atmosphere, with live music nights including an opera singer. A small and atmospheric place with tasty food and very friendly staff.

I've been visiting this place for over 20 years. Never had a bad meal, service great. Fantastic value. And live opera over the weekends.

Great little place been meaning to try little bay for years finally went recently with Mrs and kids, we loved it definitely a must if your local very different experience from anything else in the area will be back soon 100%

Quirky place but food was good. It was like being in a box at the theatre. Would be great for a romantic meal

was Ok prefer the one in brixton more friendly staffs 😍

Love this place and have been coming for more years than I can remember. Food is always great. We've had Christmas Do's, Leaving Parties, Lunches, Dinners, etc. Great price, great service. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant, amazing environment. Food is very reasonably priced but delicious

Unique and cosy interiors. Great food. I liked the lamb shoulder. Friendly staff and good prices.

Interesting place, nice service, average food reasonably priced.

Lovely lunch with friends in such a quirky place.

Loveliest staff and Sunday roast! Our waitress Niamh / Nieve was amazing! Thank you!

Amazing service and amazing food. Would recommend to everyone.

Celebrated in Little Bay for my birthday with friends and family. Fantastic food with outstanding service and reasonable prices. A gem in South Croydon if you ask me! Special shout out to Nina for looking after us.

RODENT WARNING!! Went to Little Bay Croydon recently and the place was crawling with mice. Droppings everywhere. Hygiene is really bad. I hate to think what the kitchen looks like.

Love this restaurant. It's great for lunch or dinner. Great, food, service and atmosphere. Also it's not expensive 👍. A great place to catch up with friends.
