I went in there with two dogs and very pleased that the lady offered me water for the dogs as well as treats. It seems to have improved since new management have taken over. I didn’t have food but did see other customers with food and it looked good so I’m tempted to try it. I think the dogs give you 10 out of 10 for the crisps and water. Lol

Our super local pub. Been in a few times for a quick beer stop. Service is always friendly. 2 cocktails for £10 deal is my favourite offer. On Saturday’s they are my worst enemy due to Live music / Karaoke nights that keeps me up due to us living in close proximity. But that’s the tax you pay living on a main road I guess.

Quiet Sunday afternoon. Popped in for a drink with a friend and mate. Quick, pleasant service. Watched some tennis, although the music wasn't to my taste. I was tempted by the beer garden but it rained. All good.

I enjoyed my visit to the Alma. Service was excellent. The bar very clean and drinks reasonably priced. The customers were also friendly. I understand they have live music and intend improving the garden at the rear if the property. There is a large patio out front which is a sun-trap all day. A good local pub.

Attended with 20 members of family for my daughters birthday. Lovely space and they allowed us to bring toys and play mats and older members entertained by pool table and darts board. Great food on offer such as pizzas, wings and veggie bites of mozzarella sticks etc. This pub has struggled with footfall over the years but I’d encourage everyone to support this local pub with friendly welcoming new owners. Dog friendly too ❤️

done pub crawl around croydon with a group of friends and wandered into this place. first time in since a reopening a few years ago and a desperate soulless place with a handful in here and a couple of security staff checking there phones. we all came in and the bar staff came over and served us and then a guy minding his own business with an empty pint glass was shouted at by the barmaid and asked to leave. turns out he couldn't get served in an empty pub...!! and complained...!! anyway we got ur beers mostly Guinness and it was bad....not much more to say so we left after one...wont be in here for a long time again.

On the wall outside it says "purveyors of craft beer". There are no craft beers on sale. I can only imagine that they mean the Heineken owned Brixton and Beavertown which is false advertising.

I visited the Alma Tavern on a Sunday evening, as a group of 4 adults. The restaurant area is very welcoming. The menu has a good range of options from fish & chips to curry to burgers. It was easy to order and the service was prompt. We were very happy with the quality of the food, size of the portion (generous) and overall felt the Alma Tavern offers great value for money. If you are a sports fan there are tables where you can watch live sport on the TV.

Went to this pub for the first time tonight as it is our local and was shocked and never felt so uncomfortable. It also clearly states on their website they do 2 for 1 cocktails until 7pm so when we got there we ordered some which the girl behind the bar said was fine. Once our drinks were served we were then told by the manager that they no longer do the 2for1 deal and it shouldn't have been on the menu and charged us full price instead. The girl behind the bar didn't know how to make the drinks as was reading the ingredients on the menu and the drinks were disgusting. Would never go back.

Not sure where to start. Rude manager, verbally and physically aggressive male staff, zero atmosphere other than the odd fight. High turnover of staff—seemingly anyone professional and friendly leaves. And it isn’t down to the area. Do yourself a favour and walk round the corner to The Builders Arms or The Ovql.

Glad it's there, great that they have done it up, and I feel the staff are trying. Unfortunately, I think some basic things are wrong, starting with a pool table. Better to have bums on seats , better to have extra seating, so people can get away from the thick of it. Never been a fan of kids in pubs, I go to pubs to get away from them. Not sure yet.

I love how alma tavern decides on their closing time as it goes! You think double checking if you will have time to have the last beer is good enough for staff, no its not - you will be asked to leave with your beer in a take away coffee cup so to make sure staff is happy although the pub was closing in 30min! I go to pub to unwind and have stress free environment, this experience made me stressed and not happy! Would have loved to have a local pub however will return to oval tavern again and again! Cheers

I went for a pint and I was asked to leave at 9:20Pm even though the pub closes at 10pm and I also checked if it was fine for me to order a last drink We had to pour our -almost full beers- in coffee cups as they decided to close 30 mins early... Would have been nice to have been told this at the time of ordering. I even mentioned this to the guy who told us to leave and he said that whoever told us we could have had one more beer at the bar was new and didn't know what he was doing. Pick a closing time and stick to it.

I emailed the pub on 26 January 2022 requesting a table for 4 to celebrate my husband’s birthday on 29 January 2022 from midday. My email was not acknowledged so I rang the pub several times between 26th and 29th January 2022 for the line to cut out after several rings so gave up and went elsewhere. This pub is out of our way so we’re highly unlikely to venture here - oh well.

Well decorated and sympathetically improved character Victorian pub in historic East India conservation area. Old style pub marred by unfriendly and rather rude bar staff last night and loud swearing from pool area from what could be a really nice venue. I politely asked the barman about the local area and recent closure of The Glamorgan pub nearby, he sharply replied he wasn't local. When I asked what area he was from (to make conversation) he said "why you asking lots of question" and walked off. Not a warm welcome so we didn't stay for food or a second drink.. Nice decor and some nice touches to the interior but pool table attracts the wrong crowd and the fruit machines are very 80s.. It's my nearest pub but I rarely go, the poorly decorated nearby Oval pub is much more friendly as is the Builders pub (Fullers). Hopefully the changes to Croydon will improve the demograph and feel of a pub with much potential.

This is our local. We’ve seen it open, closed, then re opened. It had a lovely refurbish keeping all the old style of the pub. There have been a couple of chefs but didn’t last long. Worse thing they did was to try to introduce a carvery. We tried it once. They partitioned the end of the pub off for this. Previously the pub had live music in that area which was always good fun and attracted more people. Now it’s dismal, bar staff uninterested, still advertising food but don’t serve food.... it’s such a shame. This lovely old pub could be a great local, bring back the entertainment on weekends, re open up the divider and don’t serve food unless it’s good food. We will still use it now and again because I’d hate to loose it. Gutted.

A large pub on a main road close to Croydon with tables and chairs out front and a car park at the rear which doesn't serve any food at lunchtime - the management are missing a huge opportunity here. I saw one member of bar staff and one customer. The staff member was unable to recommend anywhere we could eat so the customer suggested a couple of pubs nearby which do serve lunches.

Had a fantastic time on Friday, really nice little gem. It was warm and cosy and we really liked the halloween/ autumn decorations especially the witch as you go through the front door! After ordering we were given bread while we waited. The waitress made a point to introduce herself and welcome us to the area after we told her we just moved nearby. She was really great and couldn't do enough for us, you can tell she genuinely loves her job which is really refreshing. I can see us soon becoming regulars here. The menu is really varied and i cant wait to come back and try the steak on the stone.
