Pawson's Arms in Croydon

A proper pub. Friendly staff and customers. Gets very busy on match days I'm told.

Great little pub. Had a grat time at quiz night on Tuesday!

What an amazing place so friendly lovely atmosphere

My adopted local. Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. It's not too pricey either.

Lovely dogs and kind people! Was also impressed that the ladies had free sanitary products, which should be the norm in a lot of places, actually

Didn't eat as having a few drinks before football. Great pub, beer and very welcoming to us away fans. Would recommend 👍

Great place for pre match drinks, busy but they always have tons of staff to cope and even offer you a plastic cup to take the remains of your beer away if you are cutting it a bit thin for kick off! Bravo!

Great little pub. Ales only in bottles. Friendly staff.

Decent pub, great booze Rip Paul true legend

Not been there for a long time but I will. Definitely go back.

Home of the Eagles first class all the way

Fun friendly local pub with Jukebox, darts and small beer garden

Pretty good for a pint, gets busy on match days.

Friendly pub. Got served quickly on march day.

Lovely staff dog friendly, Alfie had a beautiful tempermant and is absolutely stunning would defo go again good prices

Excellent back street boozer, well run and well staffed

Excellent place to have a drink

Fantastic pub, fantastic staff and great atmosphere ,

Good beer and food, busy on Palace home games

Very friendly cosy pub and lots of great songs on the jukebox good selection of beers at very competitive prices definitely go there again

Great beers and great location from the stadium

Excellently run traditional local. I went on a match day and it’s a well oiled machine. It was busy as you would expect but the brilliant staff and the 360 degree central bar kept the queues to a minimum, I never waited more than 2 or 3 minutes for a drink. They do have a no away fans rule so don’t wear colours and hide you accent and you should be fine, I was. It’s a comfortable, warm and friendly pub and the interior is beautifully kept. It’s great when the football is on and from my visit I imagine just as good on non match days. Whenever I’m in the area again I’ll pay it another visit, and suggest you do too.

Nice relaxing pub with TV sport garden friendly staff

The best pub in the area by a country mile. Lovely traditional pub in the heart of the community. On a Crystal Palace Fc home game it is the place to be before and after the game! Great staff, excellent selection of drinks and buzzing atmosphere. One of my favourites and I get down there as mush as I can. Keep up the excellent work Bev and Graeme!

Friendly staff, good selection,decent prices ,excellent match day atmosphere

Great match day experience. Staff were very helpful.

Other than the sad reason for the visit, my uncles funeral, I would say this is a great local. Friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices and jukebox. Looks to be a good venue.

An excellent pub, very friendly and brilliant service. A wide selection of drinks and snacks. TVs showing sport. They comply with Covid restrictions brilliantly.

The Best Pub In South London!!!!

As an away supporter, over the years I've always enjoyed going to Pawson's Arms before trips to Selhurst Park. It's an old fashioned pub and though busy, bar service has usually always been pretty good and it's had a welcoming feel to it, so we've always gone back. After a very long journey I was there yesterday before the match to meet a mate. I arrived and it was very busy and queuing at the bar took a long time. That's a bit of an uncontrollable I guess but watching the staff they could have handled service better, but anyway. Having waited at least 15 minutes I was finally served. The lady went away and had a word with someone and then came back and said, quite gleefully I may add, "sorry, we can't serve away supporters". I pleaded, especially having been waiting at the bar for so long but was rudely told I couldn't be served. I wasn't even wearing anything relevant to my team, guess it was just discrimination at my accent. What a disgraceful way to treat your customers. I've gone there deliberately every time I've visited Crystal Palace for exactly the reason that the service has been good and it's a nice vibe. If you're going to have a 'no away fans' rule, make it obvious. Put a sign up outside or hire a doorman to regulate it. Don't just let people queue for ages just to smugly tell them they aren't welcome. Just to add, once this happened many of the locals around me were shocked and disappointed with what happened and one even pointed me in the direction of a different pub. That was really kind. Good club with good supporters are Crystal Palace. And just to end my story. The mate I met is Irish so ordered at the other side of the bar (having waited over 20 minutes by the way) and got me a drink anyway. Apparently his accent is acceptable and mine isn't. Obviously I won't be coming back and would strongly recommend any away supporter not to bother.

1st time in there for about 40 years. Plenty of Palace memorabilia. Think that it would be a good old fashioned back street boozer when no football on

Great local pub and friendly staff.

Nice pub my old local...always nice to go back and see people and have a beer

Ideal pub for a few pre match drinks if you are going to Selhurst Park. Home fans only ..

Good pints and a great selection of music on the jukebox

The best pub before and after a palace game. Good Guinness, great staff

Massively busy but still got served quickly as did others around me. Highly highly recommend

Great traditional London pub great staff and clientele

A very enjoyable lunchtime few pints of a very decent pint of Guinness

Great atmosphere for the England Denmark game

It is known as one of best pubs to go to before & after Crystal Palace home game. Great atmosphere, friendly staff & good selection of beers but just wish they had more real ales on tap. Plenty of screens to catch up with other results & games being played before & after CPFC home game.

Dashed in to cheekily use the loo 🙄 was packed, so something good is happening in there! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 With everything going on though I was worried

Pucker place nice Guinness in there and of course seeing cpfc.

The beer, including London Pride (oh yeah) is well kept, and they fairly often do some sort of food, eg pies, barbecue, and in red letter days one of John's wonderful curries...but all this pails in significance compared to the incomparable service! In football days this pub is one that definitely needs elastic walls...and yet when the obliging fellow customers help you to the bar you can confidently expect to be served within minutes.

Local back street pub. Very popular when Crystal Palace plays at home. Small beer garden.

Good bears but you must bring cash otherwise you won't enjoy...

Really fantastic pub! Friend celebrated his 60th birthday party there and the atmosphere was really warm and friendly. Wonderful evening. Pub landlord runs a truly tight ship, well worth a visit!

Few selections of beer and cash only payment but cozy and friendly. Staff is nice and the lovely smell of beer in the carpet.

Amazing staff and football days are massive and happy with no aggro bit proper footie lads 👌

Fantastic little local pub with lovely staff. Best place to go after a Palace game, to stick some tunrs on the duke box and have a proper celebration, had some great nights here.

great pub, wish we had more stop loosing like these pubs. ***

Run-of-the-mill saloon, big screen for sports.

Bom atendimento e a comida é muito especial!!

No card machine - ATM cash machine is too far away to leave and come back with cash. Nice small atmosphere though, friendly locals. No air conditioning - Gets hot inside. Ended up not buying any drinks.

Nice place to liven up your day

Old school local pub fantastic atmosphere great service

C.P.FC...what more can I say.👍🏻😁🥂🤗💚

Proper pub, proper people, proper Palace!

My local, very good atmosphere.

Nice place to visit , good drinks , take a Credit card , thought I was buying the Place,

Friendly pub, great atmosphere.

Proper old school pub, all staff are fab

GOOD ON SUNDAY WOULD NOT TUCH DOURING THE WEEK

Absolutely great. It is a historic 150 years pub, the locals attending the place were very friendly. the highlight and star of it is John handling the bar and happy to tell the history of the pub. Truly Londoner pub centered on its roots - a must go if you are in the region.

Friendly and the staff were very good

Friendly staff and warm atmosphere

Very friendly pub. Great for fans of CPFC on match days.

Friendly pub. Good ladies darts team.

A proper pub that serves a great pint, there's no breastfeeding mums drinking posh coffee in here! Friendly staff and customers make anyone welcome. Gets very very busy when Crystal Palace are home but that's a good sign!

Warm friendly atmosphere. Even though it was busy the service was great.

Friendly pub, great atmosphere.

Great atmosphere great beers warm outdoor smoking area food available

Great local pub. Super-friendly landlord. Would definitely be a regular if I lived closer.

Good atmosphere every one very friendly nice beer too

Really accommodating and friendly, food was good, a lot of dog hairs though from owners dog sleeping on the window seats, so be careful of any woollen coats. Mine was covered

Great Crystal palace pub friendly staff good prices

Great Pub on the corner of Pawsons Road and Mayo Road. Always full of Palace fans on a match day.

I love the Pawsons. Having a pint or two here forms part of my pre-match ritual before going to see the Eagles. I sometimes grab a quick game of pool in the back room or give Selhurst (the pub cat) a stroke whilst chatting to fellow Palace fans before or after the game.

Very good service, nice outdoor area. Could not handle the band playing though.

Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Could do with a fresh coat of paint.

Very nice local Pub with friendly drinker's

Not a bad pub. But attract wrong type of crowd.

Great local pub with very friendly staff

Back Conservatory Great for small party group where I attended. Good social bar

Old, rude staff and clicky punters.

The pub is OK and the staff are very good but in this day and age not accepting card payment is just old fashioned.

The pub is perfect for a pre-match pint before a game at Selhurst Park. Manages to keep the feeling of a local pub and doesn't seem to get uncomfortably busy. Homemade rolls on the bar on matchdays go pretty quickly. Nice to see old-fashioned cheese and onion still going strong amongst them. I know it's a bit of a walk from the ground but it's probably the nicest pub in the area.
