Best Historic Restaurants in Croydon

Been before and - as always - this visit was a pure delight. We were celebrating a birthday and it was a very special meal. Food was amazing (as always), expertly spiced. Not overpowering, but no hiding the delicious flavours. Fish, prawns and indeed everything else cooked to perfection. We’ll be back again I’m sure.

Our first time visiting Sticks’n’Sushi during a weekend away and we thoroughly enjoyed. Just a shame there isn’t a restaurant closer to our home.

Absolutely outstanding Steak and ale pie was about as perfect as you can get..the steaks were flavoursome and perfectly cooked The apple toffee pud beautiful Could not recommend this pub/restaurant more Thanks to the good people of the fox and pheasant for a top notch lunch!!

We really enjoyed our visit to EFES. As always we received a warm welcome, without exception the team here are very friendly and attentive. The food was great, and our daughter the Birthday girl received a piece of chocolate cake, accompanied by the whole team singing and clapping to make the occasion extra special. Looking forward to visiting again with our friends in December.

A work colleague recommended The Grenadier for their Beef Wellington, and it did not disappoint. We arrived at the well hidden pub on a cute, cobblestone street, and it did not look too busy with only a couple of people outside having a drink. The minute we opened the door, we were surprised to see it packed from wall to wall with an energetic, upscale after work crowd. What a great atmosphere! The ceiling is covered with paper money from around the world. They had our reserved table right away, so we were a little sad that we had to leave the fun bar area, but we were excited to try the menu. The dining room was only a few inches away. There are only a handful of tables in the entire restaurant, and it is cozy and quaint. There is not a lot of room in this pub, but that's what makes the ambiance so great. We ordered the Scotch Egg for the appetizer. The presentation was magnificent, and they tasted as good as they looked. The Beef Wellington was perfectly cooked, and the gravy was spectacular. The fresh cask ales were a prefect addition to a memorable night. Afterward, when we told people about our wonderful night, they kept saying, "Oh, yeah. That place is famous." Definite recommend! You can order appetizers at the bar, but i recommend getting reservations so you can enjoy the Beef Wellington.
