Myself and my daughter went for dinner expecting a nice pub roast, but the menu was Thai only, well we chose from the menu we ate and my God the food was absolutely out of this world great choice too, enjoyed it thoroughly.

Enjoyed a superb afternoon here yesterday afternoon watching the racing from Cheltenham (1st day - Nov meeting). Everyone made our small group so very welcome and although we only had 'lite bites', the food was delicious. Thank you! We will certainly be back. Simon S

The building occupied by this pub presents a serious presence where it sists in Croydon, but when you get inside, it does give you that feeling that its quite a bit smaller. Anyway, the place was a reasonable size with additional sitting upstairs. It was quite busy when were there so didn't chat to staff too much but they were still very pleasant. Lots of nooks and crannies on the ground floor and I would have to say probably not the place for a wheelchair, but that's my opinion. My Guinness was excellent as was my friend's Young's Original.

The Thai food was brilliant, and I would highly recommend it. The staff were friendly and attentive. The manager Kenny, who arrived on Sunday, led by example with his friendly banter and accommodating manner (was helpful with dietry advice, which was great as there was a vegan in my party). Nothing was too much trouble. I travel around London a lot on business and will be returning with my family

I had my birthday drinks here and I can’t recommend it enough! The staff were fantastic, so friendly and obliging, and helped us with everything from the cake to the music. They had a fab variety of drinks and we also ordered some small nibbles from the kitchen which were super fresh and tasty too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it here for any event or just a casual drink. I had a great experience and all my friends enjoyed it too.

The door men created such a horrible atmosphere from the moment you approached the door complete chip on their shoulder ! demanding respect from people before they was allowed to enter. I Would never go back especially when they’re there. Everyone said exactly the same. They just wanted to cause trouble for anyone who wasn’t a regular. If it wasn’t for a family party I would have left. However I never put any money behind the bar. Such a shame they truly let this pub down!

We go there from time to time, usually on a Saturday afternoon. And this used to be my favourite pub so far. All of the times we had hot meals (and we always ordered same food). Today, Saturday, the 7th of September 2024, for the 1st time ever, even the chips were cold (on a 16:00 hrs order). My parter went to the toilets and “apparently” all full … although not full pub.

A Fantastic Pub in the centre of Croydon. Run by The Whelan Family. Showing all Sports and Live music on a Saturday night. I have been a patron for over 10 years and there have been many changes since Fuller's ran the Pub. The array of drinks available are fabulous. The staff are always welcoming and hospitable. I would fully recommend a visit by yourself or with family and friends. Children and dogs welcome as long as they are on a leash and well behaved.

Traditional and reliable real ale pub in central Croydon. A great selection of drinks and food available (including tradition pub mains, sandwiches and smaller snacks). There's a large upstairs space that used to boast a theatre - I'm not sure how it's used these days. Dropped in around 2pm for a Helles and something to eat. Had the Cod burger and chips which were fresh and delicious and arrived very quickly. Lunchtime in the middle of the week was fairly quiet and relaxing and the staff friendly and attentive. Always great :)

The food was great, had the roast dinner, very, very reasonably priced, I actually thought I was under charged! Only £16.95 for the beef, really fresh vegetables, and fabulous service. It would've been great if the sound was on for the tennis, but you can't have everything! The young lady who brought over my food was absolutely lovely, very friendly, and professional. There was a table of older men who where, as the day wore on, getting louder, and ruder with their language but she appeared unfazed and handled herself beautifully.

Very Bad Experience Wanted to spend a relaxed afternoon with friends - booked a table for four for 2 p.m. Went in and was shown the table which had been reserved for us after the staff checked their book - and another staff member said ‘table for four?’ We bought our drinks and ordered food. After half an hour whilst waiting for our food a female staff member came and told us very rudely that we had to move in five minutes because our table and the table next ours was reserved for a party of twelve at 3 p.m. - no suggestion of where we could go (all other tables were occupied). Explained that we booked and that table was given to us. She said rudely that was a miscommunication with the staff. By the way no other tables were reserved. A gentleman from another table came across and said he was leaving in five minutes we could have his table. We moved to the table offered to us. We spent almost four hours - No party of twelve arrived. Three young men sat there about 4 p.m watching TV. Had a word with the female staff member when leaving about her attitude to us - she was still very rude. Will not be returning to this pub - very bad customer service. She should definitely not be serving the public.

The change of ownership has done nothing to diminish the quality of the pub. It retains all the fine woodwork, a good selection of quality beer, and a decent menu of typical pub food. There are few enough pubs in the centre of Croydon these days, and even fewer good ones. The Spread Eagle is both relaxed & charming, retaining the spirit of the old bank of its early days, with beer & food at a reasonable price. It's my goto place when I need a good pint.

The place is very nice, select, the staff is ok! We served fish and chips but it was not what we expected! First of all, the fish was not cod, the crust of the fish was a little raw on the inside, the crushed peas had too many herbs, the sauce had too much vinegar! Compared to another restaurant where I served the same food but at a price 2 times lower...it was not excellent at all, it was much better at George's! Maybe other types of food are better...that's all we tried!

A very well run, clean pub with excellent food and a friendly relaxed atmosphere. We came here for Mother's day and all had fantastic meals. All the staff were friendly and helpful. They were very understanding about our daughter's peanut allergy, which was very reassuring. The roasts were delicious. They were also very accommodating with the menu when my youngest daughter wanted something different to the menu. They were also very welcoming to our dog, even coming over with a bowl of water for him. Will definitely return great experience.

went here as part of an xmas croydon crawl. Latterly a Whelan house so didn't hold out much hope for the beer quality. 10 pints of Guinness plus others ordered from possibly the most miserable female in croydon.never once did she speak when serving or smile or engage. even the guvnor walked past us and never said a word...what about irish hospitality?! as promised they duly delivered mediocre guinness so we had one and left. a nice few patrons in watching sport of some description but when the Ship (rockers bar) round the corner is serving better guinness with friendlier staff you know its not right.used to be a fullers(proper pub).

Just have to add this review. So I bought a drink in there. I asked the mixed race lady to call me a cab from behind bar . She proceeded to do so but after 15 minutes of waiting I asked her could she possibly call the Cab station back and ask them how long she said no she won’t be doing that but her response was so blunt and rude. Other customers saw her response and was confused, because it was so rude and uncalled for , it’s like she had no training ! I was bit taken back by it but instead of arguing with her, I decided to opt in to the suggestion that the pen shall surely be mighter then my sword ! She was very very rude, and I would never go back ! Croydon is a trash! So her trashy attitude belongs right in place in there perfectly . Anyway then I managed to turn my phone on called Uber and got the hell out of there. Rude little Worker need some basic customer service training Avoid there

We got to the door, asked to go inside so we could call a taxi for our injured friend and was refused entry by the doorman. Shame, this pub was very friendly until Whelan's took it over. They have another pub in South Croydon which is a complete dive and they seem determined to lower the spread eagle to that level. I'm not angry, just disappointed.

It's a lovely pub with good food but for some inexplicable reason they've recently taken away the option to book tables online. No one wants to plan for an evening of drinks and dinner with a group of friends only to find there is no availability when you arrive. Not going to bother with the place till they bring table bookings back. They are definitely needed as it does get busy in there at certain times and you'll never get an opportunity to sit and eat otherwise.

AVOID As a Customer Services Manager myself, I have to say to the service received my the manager Jamie has been horrendous as I enquired on behalf of my bestfriend to hire the private room and emailed kindly requesting a catering menus. However, twice Jamie had not responded, and when I called the Bartender said he would get Jamie to respond in 45 minutes, which he didn’t even hours later, then when I called back Jamie rudely hung up the phone. This suggests he needs retraining in good Customer Services as he’s lost business.

I came to eat alone as am staying in the adjoining Premier Inn hotel. My waiter for the evening was George who went above and beyond for all the customers in my seating area. There was a table with a young family opposite me who George really did do his utmost for and I heard them say this themselves. The food was fantastic, I had the 50 chicken Oscar and the gluten free New York cheesecake with a glass of house wine. All part of the meal deal from the Premier Inn and all of it delicious! I have stayed here before and enjoyed it just as much then as well. Thank you George, Bartek and Ant for making my evening so lovely, even when alone. And compliments to the chef!

Beautiful hidden gem of a boozer, slightly in the back streets of Addiscombe & a very short walk from East Croydon station. Good selection of beers & spirits. Friendly people and staff make this a great place to spend some time. Large garden out the back is beautiful in summer. Interesting events regularly appeal to most pub goers and create a warm family environment. Would heartily recommend!
