The George in Croydon

Great pub good price good quality food and drink,

Spoons. Decent prices, that's why you go ...

We had late lunch and I love it. And few beers

'The type of Wetherspoons your Mum warned you about.' A little more grubby than normal, and definitely full of all the town's local 'characters'. This pub otherwise offers what can usually be expected from Wetherspoons.

Having breakfast here feels like you’ve been born again and started a new life. If you need to feel refreshed you know exactly what to do.

Popular Wetherspoon. Always busy. Very cheap real ale, £1.99 a pint.

A real find, a pint of hand pulled bitter for £1:79 was unreal.

More woman serving please, lose some of the arsy young guys and the manager if they can't train them up

Historic Croydon pub. Excellent simple meals and pleasant environment. Often very crowded. Good jacket potatoes and good pizzas too.

Awesome spoons. Great building and long area for sittting

My favourite pub in Croydon. Good food and friendly service

As a Weatherspoons good value, and reasonable atmosphere.

Good value breakfasts for under £10.

Food good the bar staff are all friendly but the who place need a major refurbishment it outdated

I came to have breakfast to experience a typical breakfast, good atmosphere, you can order by a QR code on the menu from the table or at the bar, fast, breakfast until 12, it is a typical English pub

Always liked the George great for a cheap pint and good food

Today Customer service with man bar server was bad while girl bar server was good. I tried to show which beer i want by exactly showing hand with man bar server but server rudely told me directly that's bad behavior. I had good intention as customer but not sure what's the problem with this server as girl server was good. I am immigrant and no bad intention but talking like that feels customer service is bad. Bar server knows who is this person. May feel this bar server need to adjust their customer service knowing how to adjust with immigrant otherwise no immigrant will come and this pub will have less business.

I felt that this branch was a bit chaotic. Went for the haggis which comes with a drink but was not given one. There is meant to be two sizes to choose from and I was offered one size which was the large.

Still cold turn the heating up plse

I was disappointed with the unavailability of my favourite item of food and drinks.

Crowded, yet one of my favorite joints in Croydon

Convenient place to meet friends. A surprisingly good selection of guest ales. Cheap beer and food. By late afternoon the gents toilet was a mess. Obviously a very popular place as it was packed.

I wanted one more egg after having previous one. And they’ve said it’s annoying. Absolutely not acceptable manners.

I went to drink a couple of times ! And each time i had a great time ! Unfortunatly i never tried food so can not review it as i focused on drinking !

Great pub staff are great cocktails are lovely 2 jugs for £15

amazing place. brilliant staff, good food nice atmosphere, more a Resturant that has a pub...nice for families also. love the place

I didn't eat but I can imagine it's very much like any other spoons food. Staff were friendly and helpful. I noticed they hid the Christmas cocktails menu but I basically live in my local spoons so I know what they had, plus the app helps. Third time back, I still enjoy the visit.

Disabled toilet needs refurbished and only disabled should be allowed to use them with key

Typical English pub. Noisy and cheerful atmosphere. There's no shortage of beers! Absolutely good prices!

No problem to try before you buy a real ale due to the company's connections with CAMRA. I enjoyed a real ale and was impressed with how the staff talk to their customers: very friendly.

Not big enough. It’s was packed out with roudy people

Christmas lunch without the Christmas lunch. Was nice but they were sold out of Christmas dinners. Thought I would test them by ordering the chicken and stuffing burger basically everything more or less from the Christmas dinner by vegetables and the potatoes being roasted instead of chipped and surprise surprise. However not being ungrateful because it was lovely having a meal and probably the nearest I will be getting to a Christmas dinner this year thank you Nigel Collins for the lovely surprise and treat, baby babe Racey Rach

Best Wetherspoons yet. Pleasantly surprised. Was busy at 5.45 on weekday and had a short wait for a table. Good atmosphere though, very efficient staff and tables we kept clear and very tidy. Ordering on the app was very easy. Had a very good mixed grill and very decent and madly cheap good cider.

Average weatherspoons, kind regulars, service depends on who serves you at the bar, can be amazing but also can be rude.

A bit rowdy but cheap and cheerful.

For me always exceptional.... I got alot of ideas sipping strawberry lime ciders in there man.... hopefully I'll visit in time... always love... peace out.

Easy to get a seat good food good atmosphere

Extensive menu and very good food for the price

I used to go to this pub quite a lot before I went clubbing in Croydon and really loved it. Today, I ordered some food and drink via their app and was surprised just how quick I got served. Great going, you guys and gals. During a recent visit, it turned out that one of the bars had a technical fault and was forced to close. Issues like that can't be helped, but I think the staff working that day did handle the situation professionally and were polite to it to customers. I take my hat off to these staff members and can't fault them for it.

Good atmosphere and good service

You might be asked to do the covid thing at the door but you won't be harassed by angry covid Nazis If anyone anywhere asks you to scan a qr code you can take a picture on your phone and delete it later hope this helps. :edit: nov 2024 It's seriously gone down hill, the only pub in croydon where the bartenders are guaranteed not to give you any eye contact or human acknowledgement

The place was clean, the staff were very friendly...

Great food, even better atmosphere and a nice vibe.

Excellent atmosphere. Friendly staff. Just one guy he works there a little bit unfriendly. Otherwise, everything is great 👍

2nd time here in past few week's and again they've only got 2 of the 6 cask beers on. Fish & chips for tea. Fish was small, over cooked and dry. Mushy peas and chips were OK.

Convenient place where food is served fast; atmosphere acceptable and I think its main purpose is for meeting people having an affordable meal and that’s the other strength -the food is not gourmet but cheap. Having said the food is not gourmet their breakfast is the best available in the area. I think this is because they’ve had the opportunity to test everything that tested the Bacon they’ve tested the sausages and made sure that they are really tasty.

Pub legato alla catena Wetherspoon che permette di avere accesso a birre ad un prezzo decisamente competitivo e non solo visto il quartiere, Croydon, dato che anche in altre zone la media dei prezzi si abbassa. Ottima la "English breakfast" che ho consumato come brunch per un paio di giorni di fila a meno di 5 sterline, accompagnata da birre artigianali inserite in rotazione durante una delle tante iniziative che la catena fa per proporre nuove birre "ospiti". Durante il mio soggiorno mi sono fermato anche per una cena dove abbiamo fatto una scorpacciata di fritti e pizze andando di nuovo incontro ad una spesa davvero contenuta. Il locale era pienissimo, era un sabato sera, ma nonostante questo il servizio è stato rapido ed impeccabile come verso l'ora di pranzo quando la clientela, seppur numerosa, era certamente inferiore. Certamente consigliato per gruppi numerosi e famiglie, anche per contenere un po' i costi; magari l'aria non è quella del classico pub polveroso e di periferia, si è sicuramente in una location più tarata su turismo e ristorazione rapida e quindi la qualità non è quella di altri posti, ma il rapporto con il prezzo è assolutamente eccellente.

Went all the way to Wembley for the England match. Past all the food places. Came all the way back to Croydon for a juicy steak.

This pub was my local It's generally OK As a Guinness drinker I have drank in pubs in England and Ireland This is the only one I have ever met that regularly as in every few months runs out of Guinness Tonight 11/11/24 it's happened again Have had to walk around and found a nice pub that assures me it has never ran out of Guinness and would borrow a keg from a neighbouring pub if it did to keep their regulars happy So adios The George

The beer selection is large and there are very good options, depending on your taste. We had dinner with fish and chips, jacket potatoes and two side dishes. Unfortunately the jacket potato with cheese arrived cold and the cheese was cold and not even cooked. The two side dishes were very small, a couple of bites and they are gone. The place is still beautiful and crowded with local people, but the consumption is purely alcoholic and not food. Prices in general very fair.

Just a typical Weatherspoons. Nothing really good, but nothing really bad either.

Nice atmosphere (not too packed) and service, but why my food was cold-ish even during lunch hours?

Great place to drink and eat. Clean, tables spotless. Staff friendly and helpful. Food excellent and great choice of drinks. Highly recommend. Lovely surrounding and safe.

I like Wetherspoons, and this is one of the nicest I've been in. Lovely cosy atmosphere, with lots of wood panelling. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Good quick service once I realised the top bar was closed

Great prices. Good food and atmosphere. Highly recommend

In here quite regularly. No issue being served. Staff are cool & nice place to have a drink. Will always stop by when nearby

Cheap and cheerful. Staff could clear and clean tables more often. Good (revolving) range of beers. Their mobile app means no need to queue at the bar, which, with a dodgy hip, is a bonus!

Delicious food, clean, a bit cramped. Still, it's worth it, because it's an old English style place with good beer.

The place is good. A big area for you and your friends. Food is nice and the beer is cold most of the time. However, I think it is because of the carpet but smells a little bit Ew there but you get used to it. Sometimes it can be noisy and there is no good music playing but it is more my personal opinion.

Nice Nice..... Very pleasant for early Saturday afternoon No food today Just a quick.lasing tru beverage

We always enjoy visiting here for a drink or breakfast / lunch and the team are nice. Mr David pleasance Dr carol pleasance

At £1.99 a pint in 2024. Who's arguing with a pretty shoddy interior and lack of atmosphere.

Typical English pub, nice and cheap

The George is a weatherspoons pub, so an alcoholic, drink or soft drink is included with your meal. The sirloin steak is absolutely fabulous, well cooked and as ordered. It can be a bit busy at times but, that just adds to the atmosphere.

The bar staff seem to pay zero attention to who's at the bar waiting to be served. They spend their time talking to each other, clearing empty glasses from the bar. There were only 2 of us waiting to be served with 3 bar staff, we were both ignored. The other guy eventually got served ( though I was there 1st). I waited 5 mins to see if they would serve me. They didn't, so I left, never to return.

It was my 1st time visiting the UK. I was looking for a place to have a drink and a burger. This place was cozy, and the staff was friendly. I really enjoyed it. Being from the US, I expected bigger portions and more variety, but I won't complain.

Good beers. Cheap. Food nice. Good real ale or craft beers. What would be great is that all the other reviewers could get the name of the company right. It's Wetherspoon's or J D Wetherspoon. Not Weatherspoon's. Literacy in this country is shocking. Try reading some of the books on the shelves here for practice.

Shocking experience with customers. Crackling heads smoking outside at the tables and the guy beat up a passerby. I am sure the food is great but not safe

Best fish and chips I have had in a long time

Great food, fast service, and great atmosphere.

The worst weatherspoons i have ever been The customer service is the worse

One of the worst weatherspoon around. The crowd of customers isn't great and the food was cold but burned. And the waiting times are far to long

This weatherspoon wos also lovely the people were very friendly and helpful lots of different culture people were there which his nice

Loved it staff so friendly and nothing was a problem for them

Way too much swearing going on did not feel safe.

Popped in as the rain was absolutely pouring down. Ended up having a burger, chips and a pint of stella all for under £7 come on everyone, what's not to like.....oh yeah

The toilets were absolutely disgusting, no idea when they were last cleaned

I have not been in here for ages and was feeling peckish after work. Had a pizza and a great bear from Mad Squirrel Brewery, which I have not had since visiting their Brewery tap in St Albans.

Went to The George to watch the mens Wimbledon final with my husband, got a seat and table straight away. Had a lovely afternoon enjoying the tennis and having drinks and chatting to people around us a very friendly pub.

The pub is nice. Not had the food (that's why no rating) but their ladies toilets are terrible. If I could put a minus rating.... I would

Great Wetherspoons and did not Try the Food

Lovely pub Prompt service Food was great. Chips really hot and fresh Quiet and friendly atmosphere

Vastly improved after bumpy influx of displaced staff from the other closed Croydon Spoons. Now generally excellent range of interesting real ales - Oakham for example, as well as the usual Spoons suspects. And general running of the pub, including clearing of tables and food availability much better.

Good food, friendly service and great English pub staff atmosphere 👌.

Great place! Cold beer, good food, perfect atmosphere, low prices. Great time spent. We recommend! Greetings to the man who drew the comic book!

Always handy to go to spoons here the ladies is on the same level you go in at and the staff are nice

Just came back from Croydon went in to the George for breakfast got my toast as ordered with no butter or knife went to the bar to ask for my butter and knife the lady came back with the butter but no knife had to ask where my knife was by the time I got that my toast was cold well I do like warm toast went in two days later and my toast was like in Watford burnt black does does the staff in Weatherspoons in general not know how to do toast ??

Enjoyed dining there, very good lovely kind staff, food was quick and good quality, worth the money very much enjoyed

All the staff were amazing but I want to thank Joel, Mark, Sean and another female worker (didn’t get her name) in particular for making us feel protected and safe. I’m extremely grateful. I met two friends there for drinks a couple of days ago and when I arrived there were two very drunk guys we didn’t know sitting with them. One of the guys was all over me and the staff were extremely attentive and caring. We were at the bar and when he went toilet the bartender immediately asked me if I knew him and if I felt safe (this is within 10 minutes of my arrival) and throughout my time there multiple staff members kept asking me if I was okay and whether I felt safe. We had a great time and the Wetherspoons staff ensured that for us so thank you.

Nice wetherspoons pub centre of Croydon. Very busy, food was hot and pleasantly served by overworked staff.

For those who like a pub atmosphere with lots of beer options and a rich food menu, good food and excellent prices

James was absolutely amazing!!! He needs a pay rise honestly he’s so great! I will be definitely be coming back hoping to get served by him

I didn't eat here. The food isn't very good. I sat outside and drank a cup of tea as I don't drink alcohol

Best Beer Prices in Croydon. Awesome atmosphere.

Great choice of veggie good. Really inexpensive food and drink. Always busy with a good mix of people. Fantastic friendly. Quorn katsu curry has 8 nuggets £8.66 with an alcohol drink such good value. And the good old 5 bean curry is still great. Simple jacket potatoes and beans. Nice and soft. Nothing fussy.

Hit and miss with breakfasts sometime hot or cold,thou service is quick.

Nice place to go in the morning to read and drink coffee.

Typical Wetherspoons. No change since my last update!

Typical Wetherspoon's. Cheap and cheerful!
