The best restaurants serving British food in Croydon London

A very cosy pub with great food.

Cooked to perfection each time. Cannot fault this place at all.

Lovely location etc, didn't eat cos clearly a chain pub. There's a great independent just across the road tho. Very friendly an reasonably priced too

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.

Our friend hired this venue for her 40th birthday. It is a really nice venue but what really makes it is the staff! They were lovely, very funny and affable.

Ghazala goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Close personal attention, friendly manner, altogether an outstanding hostess. I would thoroughly recommend LROTG, based on my experience. Thank you Ghazala. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The service here is consistent and amazing. I really do feel comfortable bringing clients here, having meetings and just enjoying a space that isn't noisy. The ping pong table is a great way to relax after work.

I recently visited with family for a light lunch, and it was an amazing experience. The café’s ambiance is perfect—cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated. The staff were kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.

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.

Überhaupt nicht zu empfehlen: Mikrowellen und Frittierküche ohne Geschmack. Inkompetentes Personal, erst auf Nachfrage wurde Besteck nicht zur Verfügung gestellt.

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

Dog friendly and relaxing ambience. Attentive staff and tasty food.

Chips very under cooked not a nice colour no gold brown parts and mushy Sausage over cooked
