    Great service. Can't fault anything. I ordered 3 small plates for £10 consisting of a ham and mushroom pizza, dirty fries and hot chicken wings. All was lovely. Whetherspoons always cheap and cheerful.

    £2.75 a pint. You can’t argue with that. Feels like it’s the 90s again paying that for a pint a beer. I paid £2.75 for a chocolate croissant in Bushy Park and my daughter fed it to the ducks. I should’ve saved my £2.75 and taken it to Croydon and had a pint. My daughter might have had less in this pub than she did feeding my £2.75 chocolate croissant to ducks but at least I’d have a pint.

    Nice lively, a normal party Wetherspoons. 3.5 stars probably. Downstairs bar has lots of seating, but only open in the evenings.

    Good range of meal deals. Good beer plenty of other drinks, service can be slow at times but they are very friendly. The pub is big has an upstairs and downstairs. Turns into a nightclub in the night.

    Low prices and nice drinks. A friendly, little local that serves food and drinks. Nice, spacious layout of the tables and chairs.

    Pretty standard for a Spoons bar. Some excellent drink choices, including some excellent real ales. Outside seating for the smokers, and tables in the basement for when the pub gets really busy. Definitely worth a stop in, if you need cheap (but good) food and drink

    I went to this pub for fish and chips. It was a wonderful experience the staff were on the ball, everything was clean and I felt very safe there was a chap called Marc walking around making sure tables were clean. I would definitely come back again

    Better than the other 'spoons down the road. Downstairs nicer than upstairs. The usual good prices, and choice of food. Friendly staff.

    Place was clean, prices for lunchtime menu was reasonable. Food presentation was good and so was the speed of service from placing of order to food on the table. However, we couldn't get salt at the condiments table and when we asked for some from the bar we were told " there is a shortage of salt (I guess sachets) so there isn't any". Unfortunately, I ate my food but wished I could get some extra salt for my chicken and chips. Pity about the salt issue.

    Not knocking the staff as they were really nice but the place is nothing to write home about. It's nice and spacious which is always a plus in my book but it was the food I had a problem with. One popular dish: was not able to order which isn't a crime but annoying. Then after ordering alternative, they venue had run out of salt conpletely! Not come across this before but again, annoying. When my food arrived (Tennessee Burger), it came as a chicken burger rather than a beef burger - again, annoying as I hadn't ordered that and would have picked something different if staff would of informed me beforehand. Chip count was good which was a bonus! But the burger wasn't too good - the bun had been overcooked (microwaved?) for too long and was hard. Between the chicken burger which didn't taste great and a hard bun, I left most of it which is unusual as usually polish it off. The place was also a little grubbier than usual - I'm used to Wetherspoons (when in Croydon, tend to go to the George on George Street). I get the compromise but got the feeling it needed a spring clean - but that could just be a Croydon thing. The George, also grubby is preferable and I'd choose that over the Milan Bar. If they could improve their food and have menu items available and not substitute, that would be a start but the main thing going for it is that it's competitively priced but it has to match other Wetherspoons which it didn't.

    The breakfast here and the service is good. Could use an update tho. Quite a few chairs there are difficult to sit on because they are dirty.

  • 5/5 Dean W. 2 years ago on Google
    Some weatherspoons I go to I expect the typical punters and at least one crazy alcoholic but I have to say this one by far has to be the most nice,cleanest weatherspoons I been too and that's a very bold statement! It all started for my friends work leaving doo and we had chosen here for it and the service was perfect drink and food right on time! dispite them dealing with most of us tipsy out our faces we respected them but they respected us and the security where fantastic I have to add and it was so chilled! I rarely give a 5 for a pub but I definitely sure had a good night there before we went clubbing 💯💯💯👍😉

    You can never go wrong with food from this Wetherspoons. I look forward to eating here again. Great location to have a few drinks and then have a filling meal. PS. There is a massive seating area downstairs. Meaning There’s space for everyone!

    Jade (team leader) is an absolute delight. Every time I visit here, she's full of smiles and happiness, always asks how you are and how your food is. Nothing seems too much trouble for her and she always goes out of her way to get you anything you need. Her attitude and demeanor would make you assume she's the manager.

    I went at the Milan Bar today with my sister and my 2.5 year old daughter. Horrible attitude from the waiter, (a tall blonde guy),who had greeted us at the entrance. He didn’t bother to come to our table to ask if we wanted anything. We were waiting for 15 minutes without anyone coming to our table! My sister downloaded their app and ordered food, but we didn’t have any drinks. She went to the bar to ask for 2 cokes but she was rudely sent away. When the food arrived it was brought by a short girl.My sister assumed she was the Team Leader and she told the girl that we haven’t been asked for drinks and we didn’t have any... The girl apologised to us for him, then sent “our waiter” to take our drinks. For at least 15 minutes we were watching that guy walking around and ignoring us, like he was parading... Very poor Customer Service!!! I will definitely never go there! I worked in Customer Service for more than 10 years and worked as a waitress as well, but it seems that this place has no standards at all...

    If you overlook the owner of Wetherspoon's horrible political views and tax avoidance then you can enjoy this place. The staff were helpful and quick, with the new online ordering working very well, I was brought my coffee cup a few moments after placing my order, and my food arrived shortly after. The food was of a reasonable quality and, as is expected at Wetherspoon's, well priced.

  • 2/5 Nataledomini G. 3 years ago on Google
    Needs updating. Some of the staff are very nice and friendly. Clientele questionable. Better pubs in Croydon to go too.

    Fabulous late afternoon gathering for me and my brother. Used the app several times and service was spot on. You can enjoy a COVID secure drink & meal here with no issues.

  • 5/5 Brian J. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a lovely place to go for food or drink. With extra seating down stairs it means there is always a table available, even on Saturday! The service is fast and the staff are friendly. I will return here very soon..
