The Spread Eagle in Croydon

Great, cosy pub with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Really comes into its own in the colder months. Good selection of drinks, including various gins, snack food and full meals. Drinks are slightly on the pricey side for Croydon in my opinion, but the atmosphere of the place makes up for this. Food is good value. Some nice veggie and vegan options now too.Indoor and some outdoor seating. Recommend booking for Friday or Saturday evenings.

Very few seating. It's tired, dated and doesn't look or feel very clean. I would not be going back because of that. But they make a good espresso martini and have lovely customer service.

I showed up there today at 14:00, and weirdly they were closed, no signs, no closed doors, and staff chilling inside... They then told me that today they are opening at 15:00. So I showed up at 15:00 (a couple of seconds after the city hall bell rang), and asked if they were open, because the gentleman was still bringing condiments to the outside tables... to what the small very short haired chubby gentleman told me "not quite!", To what I reply "but you said you'd be open", I asked if I could just go in and wait inside because I was cold, to what the same gentleman said "no", plain no, not a sorry, not an explanation on why they're not on time, nothing... So I just went down the street to a much nicer pub, the green dragon, at least there they value their guests. Bro if you don't like a customer/guest facing job, there's thousands of alternative jobs.

Stopped in for a bottle of decent ale, they had what I wanted, golden pride, bar man was decent, gave me the correct glass (not one with a widget at the bottom of the glass) beer was in date, nice clientele and toilets were very clean.In the past, always excellent customer service, food and good choice of drinks and to top it all off they have a disabled toilet that my gf has no trouble using. We have our own radar key but the bar has one also.I have 2 favourite pubs I visit in Croydon and this is one of them

Once again “The Spread Eagle” didn’t let me down. Due to the pandemic I haven’t visited Croydon and this lovely pub for quite a while. My son took (and passed) his driving theory test earlier so where else to celebrate with a pie and a pint? The pies; proper pies - not the casseroles with a pastry lid served served in other establishments, were delicious. Swilled down with a couple of pints of well kept Fullers beer by friendly and engaging staff in a clean pub with plenty of character and at a reasonable price. Perfect 👍🏼

Had a fantastic time at this pub. I booked for 10 of us to watch Autumn International rugby and was given a private room upstairs complete with dining table, sofas, a large tv and speakers. Staff were friendly and easy-going. Drinks reasonable value for London.

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. Every time a friend visits me from abroad, I always take them to my local favorite British traditional pub.

Thank you The food was very delicious, customer service very friendly and great owner and chef

Convenient pub near central Croydon, with a variety of indoor and outdoor seating, decent interior, and ok pies and drinks.

Lovely cosy pub, the owner is super accommodating, the food is tasty and lovely, we got treated very well, I love the decor and we had a fantastic time with our friends and family. We will be back for sure.
