The Apple Tree in Croydon

A lot of sitting area outside and inside. They broadcast football games as well.

Lovely Pub refurbished a couple of years ago..Good manager but unfortunately I was the only person in there...and the manager told me they no longer do food ...so not alot to draw you on there unfortunately.

First time in this pub yesterday and it was a good vibe

I would not recommend this pub to families! We arrived to watch the England semi final euro game as a family. I arrived early and reserved a booth with my 2 children. When I arrived we were greeted by miserable bar staff. We took our seats and began to watch the game. At half time a burley bouncer approached my 11 year old son and asked him to tell his parent that we have to leave as he is not over 18. My husband at the time was at the bar ordering more drinks. My son then went over to his dad crying his eyes out because we had to leave the pub. No one had mentioned anything to us about leaving otherwise we would never had arranged to go there! After her making a phone call to “the boss” he said we had to leave! I was so angry! My son was so upset! We wasn’t told before hand that we had to leave and should have been allowed to at least stay until the 90 mins. The bar staff didn’t know what rules were meant to be followed it was a shambles! Not a family friendly pub Would never return and wouldn’t recommend to families

They claim online to be open for food but lie, no food this Tuesday.

Lovely spot for a Sunday Roast. Took the Misses and some mates here a few weeks ago and the grub was very good and very reasonably priced too. One of the best roast spuds I've had in a pub. Guinness was up there with some of the better pints I've had. Not a massive fan of the inside of the pub, bit like a sports club I prefer more of a dirty old mans boozer, but it has a cracking beer garden for the sunny days. I'd return for a summers sesh on the ciders.

Good pub food and friendly service. Only let down by both cubicles in the well decorated gents being vandalised.

Following its total refurbishment a few years back, this is now a lovely local pub - the Sunday roast is very tasty and good value.

Nice and clean environment. Good customer service and nice food menu choices. Well recommended. Thank you. Linda 😊

Nicely done up garden great bar staff great just a bit expensive

Known by its locals but is very welcoming to all. Food is good, service is lovely. Use this pub now and again so not a regular. But it's always the first place I would go if I want to go for a local drink.

Great space, friendly staff and nice clientelle.

Great value menu and friendly staff. Food was good and good sized portions. Would be happy to return

Great pub, best tasting pint around, had a fantastic Sunday roast the best around! Well done guys!

I love the decor. Friendly greeting. Lovely food.

Basic and good food. The pool area was a bit noisy.

Great roast dinner all cooked fresh and hot . Definitely will recommend and will return

This evening I was treated to the best quick and easy Dinner for One. I opted to go for the Dirty Fries,served with Spring Onion, chilli, garlic,bacon and cheese. Not being a fan of chilli, Edyta the Barlady was kind enough to suggest that they put the Chilli and Garlic on the side for me. Marcus, the Manager on duty suggested I pair my fries with a delicious Apple and mixed Berries Crumble which turned out to be the best I have ever had. Not only was the Bacon not too over crispy but the cheese was still soft and easy to scoop up with the deliciously crispy but soft fries. And genorous helping of spring onion just topped it off. My Crumble turned up with the perfect amount of of Custard and this was just enough to complete the Solo Dinner for One. Great customer service from Edyta and Marcus. Really nice to see the Pub so lively again. And the DJ is playing all the right song!!!

Only had beer very nice great atmosphere though it was quiet watched the football nice evening

First visit and first impressions, and the last visit. Two small glasses of wine £14:00 shocking. Potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. We're coming out cremated. £13:00 each. Toilets not kept clean. Somebody had spat in the Sinks. Turned my stomach. 3 dinars was sharing their meal at the table with a dog.. Moved outside away from the drunks at the bar. Chatted to two nice ladies outside which rescued the situation. This will not be my local.

We were a large group attending for a birthday celebration and it was a really lovely evening. Food lovely, staff very welcoming and accommodating, huge portions of food and an extra effort made to make it feel special for the birthday boy. Would definitely come again :)

Highly recommend, a lovely evening had by all for a special family birthday. Food, service and staff all wonderful and very accommodating to allergy requirements too.

Excellent food, friendly staff. Calm on the week day, busy around the weekends.

Great Pub for all ages and allows Dogs inside or out. Friendly and Clean

Don't order the scampi. Oven cooked. Dry and hard and tasteless. The worst scampi I've had in any pub.

Wer went to agree a Sunday roast and we definitely weren't left disappointed. Service was quick and very professional. Sunday roast was absolutely delicious. We definitely will go back. Really nice atmosphere too.

What a joke Emma we all miss and If you treat your staff like that then we are boycotting the pub and the words is getting out Too expensive for this area .its council estate not London

If you charge £5.00 for a basic bottle of beer as a pub, it doesn’t matter what else you’re doing! Ridiculous pricing on drinks.

Amazing veggie and pork Sunday roast. Great hospitality, cold lovely wine, cold well kept beer and a super friendly welcome. This pub has a bit of a rough past pre apple tree times, this is a lesson not to judge! It’s also also epic value for south London. Staff hi our or their way to be helpful and lovely. Would return every Sunday if we could but I live too far away :(

Great Sunday roast and hospitality! Nice selection of wines and well kept beer. Food is a hidden gem and the staff can’t do enough for you. Highly recommend

Great (& very scrumptious food! (If a little too big someotime )

From the minute you enter its like the scene from an American Werewolf in London where the whole pub falls silent. Very much an establishment for 'locals'. We ordered in a group of 12 as 2 separate orders. Half the food came out, half didn't. When enquiring about where the missing meals we're, we we're greeted by silence. Add to this the random looks from the staff behind the bar that we might have the audacity to ask where the food (that we had paid for) was? The rest of our party had finished their meals and we had the indignity of having to eat our food whilst the others made polite conversation between themselves. If you ever find your way in Shirley, I would probably advise finding aomewhere a bit more hospitable and welcoming.

Never been in here before, but a very nice inside so il will be going back

I recently reviewed the apple tree at 4* now it a 5 from me! The vegetarian roasts are really good. Service was amazing. ( The lady with red hair goes above and beyond ) It's family-friendly with a great atmosphere.

Lovely roast. Very generous portions. Thankyou

Shows football. Nice family pub. Friendly

Cute pub with a good atmosphere. Has a pool table, clean toilets, tasty Christmas menu and friendly staff. Went for a birthday party around Christmas so there was live music.

Personally, this is one of the most classy pub is the local area. I know it had it rough times in the pass, we can't forget that. But the staff showed us enjoyment, love and most importantly trust. The let us play pool and turned up the lights!! The music was top rating. Can saying anyhing wrong about it ever tune was hitting the vibe. I have not tried the food. Do you do food Mr Apple tree? Long story short... Lovely design, lovely and caring staff and good drinks I will be bring people back to experience this place as its what a pup should be.. My only worry it gets too popular!!!!!!!!

Had enjoyable drink there recently.And again had good beer. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere .

The Tribute was the best ale I've had here (others slightly off their best, though the pub has tried a decent variety). TV screens showing multiple sports (and both World Cup final group games).

Nice atmosphere great food and drink selection.

Just had the nicest burger for a long time. Fantastic value. The pub has a lovely atmosphere for a Saturday evening, very warm and friendly. Staff very professional. Will definitely be returning.

Great beer and great atmosphere. Staff very attentive with great service.

Really well cooked Roast dinner. Quiet pub. Nice atmosphere.

interesting, ascetic interior. Liked the atmosphere.

My family had a great time at The Apple Tree, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and music, and highly recommend the Sunday roast. Thank you to Emma and her staff for being so accommodating to the three young babies we had with us too!

Great staff, and a nice pub to visit if you're in the area

Great pub, great food, friendly service, live sports on TV,regular live music, large garden, the perfect local pub!

We had a Sunday lunch and the food was delicious with good sized portions. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Family and dog friendly. Looking forward to trying the Saturday menu on our next visit.

Great place for drink or a meal

Excellent Otter bitter, generous baguettes - we had the chicken and the fish finger ones - and lovely chewy halloumi fries with chilli dip.

Attended a wake here. The food provided was very good and plentiful. The pub itself was very clean and outside area had tables, chairs and umbrellas. We have not eaten a meal here but are planning to go back in the near future.

We thought it was about time to return to our local pub after all the restrictions and a spell of illness. We arrived early evening with only a few customers in. Waited patiently to be served but obviously we had turned invisible. A friend, neighbour and regular tried to help without success. After 15 minutes we gave up, sigh!.. ..After 3 or 4 month we tried the Apple Tree again. Got served immediately and the barman kindly offered to fetch some water for our dog. I'm pleased really as I like the pub usually and they always seem to have 1 good real ale on tap!

Lovely staff, decor, food. Definitely recommended. Suited us for a meal with elderly relatives. Sport to watch if you want but not obtrusive.

Went there for an openmic night. Seems like a nice place. Will try a Sunday roast there one day

Door staff pleasant on the way in. Warmly greeted at the bar as I asked for them to bin a dirty tissue. Nice space, recently refurbished. Slight aroma of vomit at table 16. Staff good, if few in number. Service good, drink range reasonable. Live music. Liked it. Only gripe - kitchen shut quite early (21.00). No opportunity to check the food options. No food menu. No drinks menu either, so staff had to go check what was as available. Will be back, for sure.

The quintessential pubexperience

I have officially found my new favourite local! We came for Sunday lunch the other weekend and had our choice of table as we were amongst the first in. The service was great - friendly, helpful, lovely bar staff who couldn't do enough for us. We ordered 3 courses, all of which were delicious and had incredibly generous servings. So much food for the price! Plus there are board games and packs of cards to keep you entertained whilst you wait. We will absolutely be back here!

Quiet night but 4 teams to play I-Pad quiz. First time for me and it wont be the last. Enjoyable

Food was nice, nice price, nice staff, but manageress became unnecessarily rude to my son in law with no good reason.

Good skilfully cooked food thats worth the wait

Not as advertised, not a tree or an apple in site. Luckily the pub there is nice so I drowned my sorrows.

Wicked atmosphere, staff are friendly and the food is amazing!

Good pub, friendly staff and nice environment

Hidden gem of Croydon....Friendly staff and amazing food

Really friendly service, great food at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended

Great atmosphere, food and service. You can take your dog too !

Very welcoming, owner was friendly. We all loved the food. Highly recommended!

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch with my daughter and husband. Food was plentiful and flavoursome. The food could do with being hotter. Luckily the roast potatoes and gravy was hot. I meant to ask if they could microwave my lunch for a minute but didn't. Over the weekend, they have bands which is good entertainment. Would recommend a visit.

Probabaly the best pint of Guinness I've had! Great staff, great pub!

Very welcoming, good beer, and food well priced and tasty. Interior is clean and an excellent pub Interior. Nice toilets

Nice venue for bar setting or restaurant. Pub garden perfect for nice day or evening

Great pub friendly staff. Paulie and Emma really attentive and friendly with awesome service. Good selection of food and drink.

Great Open Mic Night at the Apple Tree, saw a lot of mates I've not seen for a long time. Super friendly atmosphere. Next open mic night in two weeks time. Every other Thursday.

Friendly welcoming service and great pub food

Will try calling in at 4pm for the next open mic that I might be prepared to play at. Need urgent upgrade from local C list celebs...

Friendly atmosphere great service

Friendly and helpful staff. Nice selection of food. A good place to watch sports and enjoy a few beers.

Visited here for the first time, shortly after the covid restrictions lifted for good (July 2021!). Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The service was friendly, processional and efficient. The food was absolutely fantastic - we were quite surprised because the portions were large (especially the kids meals) and very high quality. Obviously freshly cooked, with hand battered cod and super high quality sausages, as well as a good portion of peas. Proper pub food. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely evening in the garden sunshine. Loved the ice cold drinks and great grub 😋👍

Had a lovely dinner with the kids after school. Children’s meal portions are a very generous size. Lovely burger with proper meat. The deputy manager served us, forgot to get his name but I think he is Irish. His service was exceptional. Will definitely make this our local.

Great night out with lice music and really nice food.

Quiet but good night. Refurbished pub has changed into a great venue.... recommended!!

Great pub, friendly staff and good service.

Lovely venue lovely waitress great food x

Fantastic pub.amazing chicken burgers

Good beer. Lovely food. Comfortable. Service hasn't failed me.

Trip down memory lane went with family to toast our recently departed father .we used to go in there when it was called the Goat . Nicely refurbished now . Being a camera man a lack of real ales or ipa's but food seemed OK. Some of my group ate. Nice to see it up and running

Lovely decor as newly decorated but certain things could be better. Service is ok but service is inexperienced. Food is ok - not fantastic. Roasts are nice but wouldn’t rush there specifically. Hopefully things will improve with time.

Excellent service very attentive Nice expresso martini lovely food Will be coming back soon thank you

A great local pub, food is fab and staff very friendly. I've been a few times now and have had a very enjoyable time on each occasion. I'm a big fan!

Clean , good decor and great service

Excellent roast dinner - good size portion - 3 slices of pork, roast pots, large yorkshire pud, 3 other veg, gravy & sauces. Very friendly landlord & landlady. Will be visiting again.

A really wonderful new pub. Brand new Irish couple running it. No aggro from other customers, lovely friendly staff. Completely socially distanced set-up with a waitress working the floor to get your more beer. Only went in on a whim and was impressed!

Lovely place with amazing food and great landlord

Amazing food 🥰 highly recommended
