Great little pub that is deceptive in size, good beer and the pizza’s looked excellent.

A lovely pub serving mainly good alcohol and pizza. We came here 2023-03-13 and each had a different pizza and all four of us enjoyed them very much. It was a relaxed atmosphere with polite staff, nice decor, a fire and a good selection of drinks. We had a very nice meal here. If you like pizza, come here! My only downside really was the lack of desserts. I can get on board with a place doing mostly pizzas for mains, but a brownie or cheesecake or something would have been very nice after that big pizza.

The Crown & Scepter is a friendly local pub. You will find a great selection of wines, spirits, whisky, beers, large and ales. Here you can enjoy nice meal with your family and friends. Comfortable sitting area inside and lovely garden outside will make you feel like you were at home. Visit Crown & Scepter next time when you are in South Croydon.

Haven't been for a while because I moved away but moved back recently and it was amazing. Definitely recommend the pizzas and a great pub and crowd

Beautiful London pub. Great choice of beers and gins. Didn’t eat but food looked and smelled really good.

Really nice place, nice outside space with lots of greenery and similar theme in side past the proper old style bar area. We had pizza's which is the main choice on the menu, they were great! We had the veggie garden pizza and the mushroom and truffle pizza. Packed with veg and lots of cheese! I was there on a Tuesday quiz night, great fun and great atomsphere!!

We recently moved to the area after a number of years of being away, we weren’t too familiar with the area and we’re scoping out the local bars and pubs as one of the reasons we moved was to have abit more of a local night/evening life outside of the house. We came across the crown and sceptre before we moved to the area but only drove past during the summer and it looked lovely, especially with the amount of outdoor seating and foliage adorning the front of the building. Since moving, it has become our favourite local and must show to friends and family who visit. It’s warm and friendly atmosphere makes it very welcoming. Brilliantly furnished and in keeping to the age and style of the building. Nice variety of drinks and the pizza menu is great value for money and fantastic quality. Perfect for when you don’t have time for cook or fancy a meal out. Dog friendly too! Can’t wait to experience it in the summertime, believe it would be an amazing atmosphere.

A delightful local pub that excels with a warm, friendly atmosphere, excellent beers and rather wonderful food. Well worth trying out and then a place to make a regular visits to.

Utterly charming. Even after lockdown it's still the most homely place I've been all year

Nice pint 😁

Nice quiet beer garden out the back, good selection of Fullers ale. Not tried the pizzas, but they smell nice from the kitchen.

Nice atmosphere, reasonably priced, welcoming staff! Popular with locals and great outdoor space.

This place has really improved over the last couple of years. So much so I had to edit my review and up them to 5 stars! Lovely friendly staff, nice little garden area with plenty of seating. Great pizzas and kebabs! A lovely little pub to hide away from the busy concrete jungle of Croydon, well worth checking out!

Went here for lunch and they have great pizzas! Service was very lovely. Do bear in mind they only serve pizzas. Will be back to try their renowned ales

A lovely local pub. Good selection of beers and the pizzas are fantastic.

Nice, friendly pub. Great service. Can't rate the food as we only came in for drinks.

Not Just Great Drink Selection, I tried The Beef and Ale Stew what is. The Best stew I’ve Ever Ever eaten and Don’t just take My Word For it Go try it fir your self has I Guarantee you Will Most Def Not Be disappointed and The Staff are So down to earth and Nothing Seems to Much !!! Most Def a 10 Out of 10 all Round and Most Definitely for the Beef and Ale Stew 🤩

Great local, dog friendly and a kid friendly section. Food is very good, it gets really busy because its so popular!

Sai- probably the best bar tender there ever has been. A very patient bar man, I’ve had a big order and he delivered it in style. Thankyou

Great beer and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Good choice of beers. Good food. Handy for the Churchill Theatre

Very busy - good for them, never seen it so busy. They have taken out some tables near the bar and replaced with very high tables and stools - not great for older or disabled.

Such nice pub in middle of residential street.. Great drinks , looks better than some central London pubs well worth visiting!

Nice ambience and super affable service. The menu was fresh and delightful. Will surely recommend this place to anyone. Fair rates and large meals. Great job.

Very relaxed, old school pub. Only background noise is the sound of other small groups catching up over a cold beer or two. (And they certainly have a great selection of beers). Great bar staff too, so thoroughly recommended! I hear good things about the food too and the pizzas are huge! Will have try one some day.

Really cute and cool little pub just off Selsdon Road - the beer garden is spacious and lovely!! Great beer/ale selection (they do Beavertown on tap!) Big car park out the back. Friendly and welcoming bartenders and a nice crowd. Such a nice place to come to for a nice drink in South Croydon, so happy we found it!

We are in the area for a wedding and picked this place off google maps for a quiet bite to eat the day before. They sell lovely hand made pizzas freshly prepared for approx £14 & have just started serving street food type dishes including different flavours of chicken kebabs with cous cous and Coleslaw. We really enjoyed our choices especially and think this place offers superb value for money. Staff are friendly and smiley too plus there's a large outside seating area and off road car park. A great community pub with lovely food.

I love this local pub. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, the always play great music and I can just unwind and relax there!

Decent friendly pub with a good beer selection.

Lovely friendly pub. Staff attentive, pleasant and helpful. Food limited to a pizza menu plus a non-pizza special but hey, what does it matter when the environment and atmosphere are pleasant. Wicked pint of London Pride. Felt comfortable just popping in for an early evening session solo. Toilets nice and clean. Like most other local pubs needs to be cherished and supported.

After taking a break from this pub due to the previous management, I visited last night after work and was very impressed with the ambiance, food and great Guiness. This really in pub terms the equivalence of an Oasis. It's like an English country pub, but in Croydon. The vibe is relaxed with enough people to create a good atmosphere, without the craziness of other Croydon pubs. To eat, the had the stew which at £8.50 was amazing value, the main menu is pizza. To drink we had Guiness which was excellent, the wine selection is very good as well. The service was excellent, both efficient and friendly. The other customers, who seemed to be locals, were friendly and welcoming, but not imposing so we could enjoy our drinks and food at our table, and when going to the bar talk and meet other locals. Highly recommended for those who like pubs as pubs, not flashy wine bars, or sports bars, great food and drink, served well by friendly people with a local vibe, but not cliquey. For sure, we will be visiting again,

Gorgeous little local pub. It's tucked away and out of plain sight but that's not a reason to underestimate it. Friendly staff, warm atmosphere and inexpensive drinks. Definitely recommend.

Traditional proper pub. Good food at very reasonable prices. Great beers. Not designed for the super trendy.

Very nice local pub. Friendly service and great atmosphere. Also a nice outdoor seating area

No interest in waiting customers. 2 people serving whether busy or not. At one point, a bar person who was actually taking a break and drinking went ro the bar to make it harder for others to be served. Meanwhile we had someone who spent the entire time collecting glasses, or filling a water dispenser...important stuff. When he could have been serving. I've been a customer for 40 years. Never has it been this bad.

Lots of memories here. I was on a pub crawl with some friends and we started at the Crown and Sceptre with a plan to head towards Croydon town centre. There were 4 of us and as luck would have it, in walked 4 lovely young ladies. We brought them a drink and got talking to them. One was a stunningly beautiful young woman called Maria and 36 years later she's still my beautiful wife. The pub? Well, it's not changed much, it's still a great pub. So have a visit, you never know how it might change your life

Great local, family run pub. During the summer there is a lot of outside sitting in the quiet backyard.

I felt like a quiet Christmas drink and went to this pub. It was nice and quiet not too extravagant and just great all over for us introverts

Nice welcoming pub, decent food and friendly atmosphere.

Nice little quaint pub. The menu is not expansive but the food on offer is really good and well priced.

Beers good and great pizza. Thank you staff

Very nice pub, good beer too

Gem of a pub in south croydon. Shame there arent more like this further north in Croydon proper.

Great local pub with really good food. Needs to expand its wine choices though.

Great pub with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere

Great little pub, limited menu because of Covid but tasty pizzas including gluten free and a range of flatbreads.

A quality local, very good table service. Coping with the covid rules well. Cheers

Lovely local, good beer and good food

Good service but Stella artou.beer is not served anymore

Absolute little gem of a pub, very lovely landlord and landlady and the pizzas are delicious. They've made the outdoor space very welcoming and cosy and its the perfect spot for a cold beer or glass of wine in the sun😊

Met a friend we hadn't seen for twelve years, and went here for lunch outside. Surrounded by nasturtiums, food delicious, service good, and owners Mick and his wife very friendly. Sampled his own chilly paste!

New ownership. Keep beer well. Have turned pub around into lovely community venue.

Very nice old fashioned pub. Friendly, helpful bar staff. Excellent pint of Dark Star Hophead.

pizza was delicious and the stuffs are very friendly. we went here with our toddler boy and he liked the food as well. Good outside table spaces and have its own parking!

Such a great escape from normal life ... Take yourself back to the days of school ,University and the beauty of your local.This is that...and more.now a great flatbread and pizza menu too that caters for veggies and pescies too. Service is cool even during lockdown and the place will grow and grow as it has no sides. A1 for me .chance to talk with friends in a quiet cool surrounding .

A very pleasant pub with friendly landlord and lady and staff. The beer is Fuller's fayre, well kept and served. Pizzas are very nice. COVID rules are tricky in this narrow pub, but the team are doing a great job at making sure everyone plays their part in keeping the place safe.

Highly recommend! A couple of days late but got some delicious pizza from The Crown and Sceptre the other evening. Had the Nice n Spicy and the Garden Club. They were exceptional Pizzas and my girlfriend and I are big foodies. It’s a cute pub with good music and a chill atmosphere. Cherry on the cake were the little drawings on the boxes, very personal! (P.s boxes were clean when we picked the pizza up, photo was taken post feast)

Superb ale and atmosphere. Have been coming here on and off since 1982 and it's better than ever. Food is excellent and good value too.

Nice friendly pub and good food.

Best pub in Croydon

Very good genuine British Pub, shame about the welcome.

New owners, lets wait and see

Good food

The beer was great as usual ,but alas the Sunday roast was not potatoes were too crispy the lamb was tasteless but the veg was lovely, if we returned again we would choose something different

Absolutely lovely local pub! Can't believe we haven't visited earlier! Definitely we will be back

I was meeting friends in a similar named pub in Croydon. I went to Crown and Sceptre by accident. A sunny Saturday afternoon. This pub is delightful - small patio at rear with a couple of tables to enjoy the sunshine. Real ales - London Pride proved very popular with locals. Very small pub where welcoming brar staff seemed to know majority of drinkers by first name. We tried the sharing platter - cost £8.50 Platter was a good size with chunky chips, onion rings, garlic bread, scampi, chicken goujons and 4 dips - very enjoyable Low background music meant you could converse and hear each other Overall this was a very pleasant pub with very pleasant people and a delightful experience. Will definitely be returning.

Love it when I visit my family, and pop to the Crown & Sceptre for a fantastic pint of ESB and great food....

Great atmosphere

Lovely, friendly and cosy pub ! Try the pizzas absolutely delicious and the beer is fantastic.

Very friendly

Civilized yet friendly. Superb ale and pizzas.

Most amazing pub, lovely people and epic music

Great food, nice building and outside.

New management who truly care and work hard have turned this pub into a little gem

Sound neighborhood local, selling Fullers and Dark Star.
