The best restaurants in Waddon Croydon London

A lovely place to dine out. I have been going there with my family for years. My Daughter's were in buggies. They are now 29 and 20. A bit pricey but the food is tasty and excellent.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered vegetarian food on March 7, 2025, but I was served chicken instead of cauliflower. When I called to raise my concern, I spoke with a staff member named Omar or Umar. He did not apologize and kept insisting it was a "human error." While I understand that mistakes can happen, it is important for restaurants to take customer concerns seriously, especially regarding food preferences, dietary restrictions, and religious beliefs. I explained my situation, but he seemed dismissive of my concerns. This experience has made me question whether this restaurant can be trusted. I urge others to be cautious when placing an order there, as they may not always receive what you ordered.

The lady told me it was £8.5 for my order, I paid by debit card, when I got home I found she charged me £10! This is shocking behavior! Never again

Ask for one chocolate and one of them does. Both cups are only 3/4 full, not what is expected from Costa

We went to the purley way restaurant for our sons birthday (6 of us) once we got seated we had to wait over 30 minutes before i had to ask someone if we could place our food and drinks order. eventually our waitress came by and took our order, then after another 30 minutes or more i had to ask if we was going to get our drinks any time soon , once again it seemed like forever for our drinks to finally turn up (flat) by this time we’d already been in the restaurant over an hour and each time we had any service i had to get up and seek it out myself. it seemed to me that every time I got someone’s attention they just deferred it on to someone else and then forgot about it i know it was a Saturday evening and would expect it to be a busy time to visit but when we arrived the restaurant was less than half full. The food was ok the portions were small i had a burger and chips and there was barely a handful of chips on the plate and the burger was a tiny misshaped piece of meat ( it did taste ok though i will say that ) To summarise our visit we felt that the restaurant was poorly organised , poorly managed, the food portions were small and a bit over priced but the food did taste nice All in all we wont be rushing back any time soon In retrospect we probably should have gone to the harvester where we know we have always had a great dining experience

The food is affordable and yummy! No complaints

Nice management, nice atmosphere, good music and nice vibes

Honestly don't bother. Burgers are hard and disgusting to bite into. Regular chicken on the bone is burned. Just the general chicken quality seems off. Most other things ok. But overall simply not worth it. Tried several times now. Believe the reviews guys

We ate here on Sunday 23rd March, we have used and recommended it to friends over the past 20 years. We arrived just after 4pm and having been advised that bookings were only taken for after 6pm, we turned up expecting a wait. We were seated straight away and our orders for both food and drinks taken promptly. Our meals arrived within 15 minutes of our arrival. The menu offers a fair choice but since Covid it has been significantly reduced in items and I felt the food quality on our more recent visits, was not as good as it once was. The food is more costly than at our local Chinese Restaurant but that possibly reflects the higher London costs. The most obvious and I feel negative element to our meal experience was the staff. Although they were polite they were very direct and brisk in their manner, you certainly would not come here for the friendly greeting or helpful comments relating to your meal selection. That said, I would eat here again if in the area.

Not happy food was cold you did not follow my request won’t recommend bad customer service and didn’t bother to answer the phone

drink was spilt always an issue

decent. good amount of heat in Singapore fried rice. nice spring rolls. chow mein was a little wet

Appalling experience, took my son for his birthday, left waiting at the entrance for 10 mins whilst staff just ignored us, eventually got seated given menus after 20 mins and watching other people get up and leave , after asking several times for drinks , we eventually got them after 30 mins of waiting - our food then arrived, the mains arrived at the same time as the mains, staff were like slugs apart from one who was darting around trying to appease the increasing moaning of customers - tables left uncleaned - it looks in dire need of an upgrade, the service was crap, the food was edible . Just . Please people don’t bother !

Another victim of their parking scam company. If you park here you could well get a fine for something that you can’t possibly imagine! Please DO NOT pay them, they will have to use the court to recover money from you, which they won’t do. Wing Yip will ignore your pleas for help - even though they are able to get tickets overturned (after all, they are the land owners).

Went to pick up breakfast for family. Seemed like we got McShells. Very crunchy and unpleasant all around.
