Had a Sunday Roast with my mother and daughter. Pub was quiet as is was quite early. Food took forever to arrive and when it did it was average. Roasts were OK but nothing special, cauliflower cheese was bad. My mother order dessert which took longer than 20' to be ready so we decided to just get the bill and go.... Service very poor and inexperience.

They cook the best skinless cod, away from the seaside, that can be found locally but the CHIPs!!! By the time you sit down to eat them at home, they become dry and shrivelled and there are just so many of them, that we don't have plates big enough. I recommend asking for lots of salt and vinegar in the hope the moisture sweats some plumpness into them while they are wrapped up. The Fish still wins out over the local competition, where some places are still cash only, a disgrace in this day and age.

Bad food. Loooong wait both for drinks and food. Waiter (owner I was told) got 2 meals wrong. Brought calamari fritti for my husband and I which he never ordered in his life and I can't stand them as they are like rubber in the UK so would never have ordered that. Waiter insisted I did, not once but 3x! My husband actually asked for whitebait! My husband ordered calf's liver as a main which is soft and succulent in France, Germany and Greec etc. It was thin and like shoe leather. It is supposed to go into a hot pan, then turned over after a few seconds and taken out of pan - served. This is what it should be like "A classic of British cooking, Calf's Liver is succulently tender and fine-grained with a deliciously mild, sweet flavour. More and more people are discovering the delicious flavour of Calf's Liver due to its place on the menus.« I took it home to give to the dog and foxes!! My friend next to me (we were 13) ordered meatballs which were so salty she couldn't eat them. Another lady didn't like how the fish was done. It was mediocre. MY mussels had anorexia. I have photos. They were non existent or if there was one in the shell, it didn't measure more than 5mm. 20 were empty and the sauce was not nice. Obvs they were not fresh mussels, they were cooked already and just heated up. Lots and lots of small broken shells in the sauce. Must have been the last dregs. Just as well I didn't swallow one of the shards. Will I go back? No, I'll go to a real Italian restaurant next time. Bragging about an Italian chef! He needs to go on a cookery course IN ITALY! I lived, ate and cooked there. I know what Italian food is supposed to taste like!!!!! And sooo expensive.

What a SHAME! As waiter from up North was so friendly but what a difference to how this place used to be. Eggs Madame ordered which has a fried egg on top of usual. Fried egg was hard not oozing, cheese on top not browned, ham looked like Lidl had supplied it- not pleasant, and I really thought service no issues just the food which is the basics.

been eating Pie and Mash for all of my 60+ years. Been to a few shops in my time but Cockney's in Croydon beats the lot. Great food. traditional setting and friendly staff and customers. it takes me back to my East End roots. You walk into a shop full of strangers, get a smile and excellent grub. by the time you finish eating you are in a shop wide conversation. You leave a room full of friends, feeling nicely stuffed and looking forward to your next visit.

My friend and I visit here every other day or so for a hot chocolate or latte. Staff are very nice and friendly. Food is excellent quality and quick to arrive. Does get busy especially of a weekend but well worth it.

On arrival it seemed nice , we sat where I could see the kitchen , a lady preparing food was touching raw sausage, she then went on to make salads and avocado without washing her hands , whilst doing this she licked her fingers and the carried on preparing fresh food . Make us feel sick
