Lovely local, great beer,good food ( try the creamy avocado on sourdough toast with a sprinkle of chilli flakes and a splosh of olive oil mmm.) All topped off with attentive professional staff and friendly average workday locals. Nice garden area (but watch the stairs if you're not as sure- footed as you used to be).

Wasn't able to even tryythe place, nor the food. Their website didn't mention the live gig but, what was REALLY disappointing is that we tried 7 (seven times) to book on the phone over 3 days and in different hours, but nobody bothered to even try the phone. When we went in person the very rude guy behind the bar, instead of apologising, laughed at us because "you didn't book 2 weeks in advance", like it was a posh fine dining on the Strand! Making fun of potential customers willing to spend money in your place is not exactly welcoming nor business savvy, to be honest! Happy to spend my money elsewhere, Sir!

Went here for lunch on an unseasonably warm Saturday afternoon in search of al fresco dining. The secluded beer garden to the rear of the pub proved a pleasant venue, and the three of us enjoyed our meals. The cheeseburger and chips platter I ordered was large-sized and coupled with a glass of Inch's remarkably flavorful cider perfectly hit the spot. Service was excellent and unobtrusive. Would recommend unconditionally for those looking for unpretentious generously-portioned standard pub fare. Note: access to the garden is via a staircase at the rear of the main building.

How did Croydon get a pub this good? Only go occasionally as I've escaped the town (very happily) but on a rare re-visit dropped in again with my son before a Palace match. Great beer selection, Sunday roast - choice of all the expected meats - on the money - and cool jazz band playing. Atmosphere great, characters aplenty and it's all jolly bohemian. Love it and so will most people with a pulse!

Cinque stelle sono forse troppe per l'esperienza che posso raccontare ma un domani, chissà avrò modo di tornare e rivedere il mio voto e probabilmente ne metterò sei. Scherzi a parte, sono venuto una mattinata piovosa con un amico che vive in zona, il locale è stupendamente tradizionale, sul palco suonava un duo molto tranquillo e la sala era piena di famiglie e di gruppi di amici che pranzavano. Noi ci siamo limitati ad un paio di birre e, per me, poter bere una Landlord spinata a dovere in Inghilterra è sempre il momento per una piccola grande emozione. Poter gustare quegli aromi perfettamente bilanciati, le note erbacee del fuggle e quelle più fruttate del goldings e degli altri luppoli, la perfetta pale ale inglese nel cuore dell'Inghilterra immersi nell'atmosfera di un pub di periferia che mantiene intatto tutto quello che dovrebbe avere un pub: spensieratezza, condivisione, chiacchiere e birra. E' sempre un momento straordinario. Sono sicuro che si mangi anche bene, ma questo è un altro discorso, forse un giorno...

Excellent music venue but not a great policy to let people reserve tables when others get there early to get a seat to watch the band or just socialise.

What a gem of a pub. The bar/floor team is lovely, just so nice. We went in for a Sunday roast which was spectacular. Live jazz music was on , cask beer was well kept, selection of scotch was grand- perfect Sunday. It has this -sadly not so common these days- homely, comforting vibe. You’ll be silly to not swing by if I’m the area.

Sunday lunch today was poor. The lamb was very fatty and the potatoes were really hard.

On a lovely Summer's Sunday we luckily got a table for a Sunday Roast at the Oval Tavern, a popular venue with locals which can get busy as they also have live Jazz playing. We sat outside ordering a roast beef, and roast lamb lunches; from the prompt and friendly staff. The meat used is very good quality, and this was especially noted from the lamb. Though do not forget about the vegetables, and I was actually wowed by the carrots which can get a lack of love in most pubs. The roast in all was good, however the slight let down for me were the Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. The Yorkshire pudding was a bit overdone for my liking, and I would have loved more of a crunchy exterior to the potatoes (my preference 😅). However this is all my experience being subjective, and overall I had a nice lunch at this pub; which is a place anyone would have a good time and easy Sunday at!

We popped into this pub for the first time enroute to a gig. I was pleasantly surprised. It's a small, cosy venue. Staff are polite you had the sense this place was for music/food lovers. We weren't there to eat but our mouth watered at the food being served so its defintely a place to go if you want some real home made cuisine. We didnt stay long enough to hear any live music - although Ive heard its the place to be for that. All in all I can say it had such a cool vibe, staff were so chilled and so were the rest of the clientele that I am looking forward to another visit where I can spend some. quality time there.

My son and i went for Sunday lunch today 07/07/2024, we were told its so good you have to book, So we booked, and had to sit in the garden, its jazz on sunday, and the weather was not very stable which didnt help , the service, is lovely , but the food is very average, - My son had the roast beef, he wasnt that impressed, and i had the nut roast, the gravy was very salt, and the potatoes werent very roast , carotts were al dente , and the red cabbage tasted of nothing ! I enjoyed the swede ,/and parsnips , but we have had some bad experiences with sunday lunches , so we thought wed try somwhere a little better, and all i can say is that its nothing special , if i could have stood to cook i would have at home, - and it would have been lots better,(but i cant stand for long at the moment - ) My son and I werent overly impressed, and my son took most of his home for the fox!

My Son and i have been looking for really nice Sunday Lunches, locally since we have both been very ill,with the same illness, and i find now i cant walk very well or stand up for long, and although its more expensive to eat out, it means i dont have to stand and cook, which i really used to enjoy, but i havent the strength atm. However we had tried two other places and they were abysmal , so someone suggested that the Oval Tavern, reasonably near us was so good you had to book. So we thought wed give it a go . My poor son wasnt that well and couldnt eat some of his, he ate the beef , but took the veg home for the fox, I had Nut roast and their veg. Ive got to say its more homecooked than most, but the gravy is very very salty , The carrots are al dente , and the nut roast is soft ! the only veg i enjoyed was the sweede. The roast potatoes werE ok, and the yorksire was greasy , the red cabbage tasted of nothing , and the parsnips were a little soggy, however it was quite busy due to loads of locals and Jazz however i dont think that should show in the quality , which i would mark as very average. It was a shame as i was hoping for something a little better than average- edible- but very salty , and a little soggy .

Was having a nice lunch until four people came in and let their dog sit and walk all over their table. It also drank out of their pint glasses. Bar staff not only did nothing but went over and stroked the dog. Was approached by one of the people and told not to stare as they also felt uncomfortable. So disappointed as a lovely pub but I won’t eat or drink here again due to disgusting hygiene.

Appreciated them bringing over extra gravy as a standard - you can never have too much! Cauliflower cheese was decent too. All in all a lovely afternoon. We'll be back!

You couldn't find a better pub in Croydon and I've not found many better across London. Bonus points for being an independent! Had an appointment that brought me across from Belfast for the day and found this spot at the end of the day. Food was affordable and great, inside and outside the place is wonderful, and Tristan on the bar was great craic. He also poured one of the nicest Guinness I've had in London. The Oval is lovely and should that appointment lead to another I'll surely be back.

Great pub for food, drink and music. Been here many a time and always enjoyed the friendly, efficient service. On every single occasion the only negative aspect was the appalling odour in the ladies restrooms. The management must be aware of this as there are a few plastic room air-fresheners placed near the sink but they do not seem to be resolving the problem. Such a shame that this one issue lets down what is otherwise the best pub in the area.

I read a review that the prices had gone up but that isn't true. We had 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert and 4 x 250ml glasses of wine for £115 including tip which is standard price for Croydon. Also got 2 free digestives on the house at the end which was nice. I would definitely go back.

Great beer, friendly staff, good atmosphere. Family friendly but not overun with children. Worth booking a table if you want to watch a particular sports match. Not all tables have a view of a screen.
